this is typical. we'll check on those construction crews out there as well. pick a spot, any spot. it is wednesday, may 4th. you are watching "today in the bay". >> from nbc bay area, this is "today in the bay." >> thank you very much for joining us. i'm sam brock. >> and i'm laura garcia-cannon. we begin with breaking news. police are invest getting a smash and grab burglary at a high end san francisco music store. >> stephanie chuang joining us now live in the lower pacific heights neighborhood of the city. this is the latest electronics store that's been targeted by thieves. good morning. >> good morning, sam and laura. we're in front of music lovers audio and video, a high end store. you can hear the alarm going off, but when we got here the alarm was not sounding off. this went off after police officers went inside to take a

look around to assess the damage. you can see the smash -- there were actually two sets of windows that were smashed through here. there's so many questions about this one. the last one was in san francisco where criminals crashed a pickup truck into the store on california near polk. that was also around 4:00 in the morning. we did hear from someone here at this site. a witness who says he woke up to the crash and breaking glass noise. three people he said in overcoats or trench coats. but they had their faces completely covered. ski masks, bandannas. couldn't see anything. they had hats on. and he described them as going into the window, grabbing things, and coming back out. one guy he said had what looked like little speakers in his arms. jumping into a red pickup truck.

but you could not see a license plate. that was actually covered. you can see there's a trend of these happening. we've had up to six crash and grabs in the city, if you go back to last may. police, again, taking a look and the investigation very early on at this point. stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> just a string of these kinds of events. thank you very much, stephanie. >> a young father's murder in oakland is leading to a call for action in the african-american community. >> somebody shot the 21-year-old man outside of his home in the oakland hills. police are not saying much about this case, but local politicians are. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, sam and laura. oakland city councilman larry reid is questioning, where's the outrage, where's the anger that now 18 people have been killed within his city over just the past couple of months. the most recent killing taking place just less than 24 hours

ago. marcus west, with a 2-month-old baby, was shot and killed at his grandmother's home. his family as you can see in these video images had the painful task of removing the blood from the spot where he fell and died. no arrests so far. police are still trying to figure out what led up to his killing. >> he was a bright young man. trying to turn his life around. >> we think it's not a drive-by relationship and a drive-by way in which he changed behaviors. >> reporter: that's keith carson, who is declaring this year, 2015, the year of the african-american man. he met last night with leaders of local organizations to figure out ways they can help young men in this community find their way and stay out of trouble, whether that involves mentoring, job placements or therapy for drug and alcohol abuse. reporting live here outside opd, bob redell, "today in the bay."

call it a case of trail rage, marin county parks officials say a fight between a hiker and a biker sent a woman to the hospital. parks officials say the 65-year-old woman was hiking in the sleepy hollow open space preserve. a man on a bike grazed her going the opposite direction. they exchanged some heated words and she chased after him, leading to a physical confrontation. investigators say the woman went to the hospital with bruises on her arms, legs, and head. deputies right now still looking for that cyclist. happening today, the boston marathon bombing trial begins with opening statements as the jury listens in. their decision could be less about whether he did it and more about whether he should pay with his life. >> kris sanchez here with what we can expect on the first day of what should be a very long trial. >> today is just opening statements. they're scheduled to start in the next hour or so. it could be one of the most watched terror trials in history. the images of the boston bombing were graphic and they were live

on the air around the world. analysts say prosecutors will focus on that horror. eight men make up the jury and the alternate pool and while three jurors did tell the presiding judge that they believe dzhokhar tsarnaev is guilty, they say they are willing to listen. that may not be easy during the government's case. >> the first part is beginning to be all the horrific stuff. i don't think we've heard how horrific it's going to be yet. >> the team of attorneys working for dzhokhar tsarnaev are expected to paint him as just a 19-year-old guy following the lead of his 26-year-old brother who was the one who was radicalized. two bombs went off near the end of the iconic boston marathon on april 15th of 2013 and three

people were killed. more than 260 others were hurt. tamerlan tsarnaev was killed in a shootout with police after he shot and killed a police officer on the m.i.t. campus. today is the day for opening statements, as i mentioned. the whole trial is expected to last three to four months so it could coincide with the start of the race this year. >> thank you very much, chris. >> the homeless man killed by lapd officers on skid row was a convicted bank robber living in the u.s. under a stolen french identity. the man who was shot sunday was actually from cameroon, but investigators have not identified him. he was convicted of robbing a bank in thousand oaks in 2000 under a stolen name. officers shot and killed him after they say he reached for one of their guns. we have new details for you this morning about last week's commuter train crash in southern california. the train's engineer has died. he was one of 30 people injured last tuesday when that train hit a pickup truck on the tracks in

oxnard. he's the first victim to die. police initially arrested the truck's driver, ended up releasing him, though, without charges. the assistant police chief says the death changes the entire nature of the investigation and could lead to vehicular manslaughter charges. a paralympic hopeful had his prosthetic leg stolen from his car. he finished third in the nationals next year and hopes to compete in brazil. someone stole his prosthetic running blade yesterday in the mission district. he's hoping someone will return it so he can live his dream. >> right now, i'm just waiting for that, and then i'll continue my season, you know, whenever the time comes. >> the prosthetic leg costs around $30,000, but it's specific the its runner. his next meet is next weekend. he says this will delay his training. how does your hospital score? turns out that hospital gridding systems are hardly an exact

science. a new report examined four top rating systems. u.s. news and world report, consumer reports, health grades, and leapfrog group. each used a different criteria. some used grades. others used numbers. some focused on safety. others technology. one ratings group adviser says when it comes to grades, more equals better. >> and try to trtriangulate on e system. >> and the consensus is health care systems will continue to improve. and that will likely have a ripple effect. >> we welcome back christina loren fresh from a few days off. temperatures mostly in the 40s as you make your way out. grab a jacket.

probably a good idea to layer up. because we're going to see a pretty nice rebound to the day. 62 degrees as of lunchtime in the tri-valley. you'll be at 62 degrees and 63 in the south bay, rounding out the day all across the board. just give you a preview of how much warmer it's beginning to be. we are talking about the mid 70s all across the board for both saturday and a little bit cooler for sunday. and then things really change. showers on the way at the beginning of next week. say good wednesday morning to mike inouye. >> those flashing lights going eastbound. we're looking at these still here in the shot. there was another set of flashing lights. i'm going to jump on this right after this report and check out what's going on there.

looks like some sort of paving going on here at the gore point and we have the slowing block right there. a lot of slowing the last couple of minutes. meanwhile, back to the maps. we did see those flashing lights heading eastbound. no slowing shows up. we just have your typical build. that's typical even for a wednesday at this time. walnut creek interchange, the east shore freeway moves nicely toward the bay bridge. the north bay looking nice down through mill valley, through the north bay. a zoom-out towards the south bay as well. the live look shows you how light it is on the peninsula. back to you guys. >> mike, thank you very much. coming up, getting into a school got a lot harder. we'll tell you why next. the nasdaq stays under 5,000 and the strange way canadians

are remembering "star trek's" mr. spock.

you're watching "today in the bay." the uc president announced that she's going to cap enrollment at current levels unless the state increases funding by $200 million. janet napolitano says she's also

capping controversial out of state enrollment at uc berkley and ucla, but not at the other eight campuses where numbers are expected to grow. residents pay three times the fees that californians pay. undocumented immigrants are being credited for the surge in california drivers willing to donate organs. the dmv says the number of donor registrations so far this year is up 30% from last year. that increase coincides with california's new law allowing undocumented workers to apply for driver's licenses. this could be life-saving for the 23,000 californians waiting for organ transplants. the spotlight still on this morning. silicon valley's biggest fight over sexism and fair play continues today in a san francisco courtroom. >> to scott mcgrew. now we're getting to the part some people really wanted to avoid. >> the inside nitty-gritty of silicon valley's most storied venture capital firm.

tuesday was probably the most important day in the trial so far, as john door took the stand to defend his firm. former employee ellen pow has brought suit claiming gender bias. it was a case that most court observers expected would be settled privately to avoid spilling secrets in public court, but kleiner perkins says it's willing to go all nine rounds. apple says it will hire its security guards as full-time apple workers so they can get the same benefits. currently they're contract workers. there's been a push to give employees like security guards and drivers and maintenance workers some of the same benefits, if not the same pay, that engineers get. well, how is our nasdaq doing? let's turn to landon dowdy. she's live at cnbc headquarters.

good morning. >> good morning to you. what goes up must come down. and futures are lower today after the markets fell on tuesday. the nasdaq failing to hold on to that 5,000 level. investors reacting to weaker than expected auto sales, which were hurt by the bad weather that we've seen the last month. and looking ahead to economic data out this week. the reports today on private sector job growth and the nation's services sector. the dow falling 85 points. the nasdaq dropping 28 to 4979. scott, back over to you. >> landon, thank you. sam and laura, you well know leonard nimoy died. canadians are marking it by their $5 bills. if i'm not mistaken, the portrait is canada's seventh prime minister, but apparently he looks a little bit like leonard nimoy. there you go.

>> he's been spocked. >> that is just uncanny. more ink on the 5, though, for those eyebrows. thank you, scott. >> what a tribute. stunning video to show you of chile's volcano erupting. take a look at that. it is one of the most active volcanos in south america. authorities have e swvacuated nearly 4,000 people around the volcano just as a precaution. chile has about 500 that are potentially active. we are really happy to welcome back christina loren. i have a feeling you're going to tell us we're going to lose an hour of sleep coming up in the next few days. >> for us early risers, it means we're going to have to wait for that sun to come up an early hour. enjoy it for the next couple days. the good news is if you get home before your loved one, at least you'll have a little bit more daylight with your loved one

later on. maybe you're just trying to find your flow this morning. 5:17. temperatures are looking good on a wednesday. i can tell you, getting dressed this morning, probably want to dress in layers. at least grab a jacket on your way out that front door. temperatures are going to warm really nicely. a rapid warm-up coming category four way between 12:00 and 3:00 p.m., but today starting out with the upper 30s. in santa rosa, 37 degrees. 38 out in livermore. 33 for oakland. we're kicking off the day in san carlos at 45 degrees. so here's the weather story of the day. sunny and warmer as you get into this afternoon. these are your lunchtime temperatures. it will still be cool enough for a jacket. 63 degrees at noon on the peninsula. tri-valley at 62. as you pick your kids up from school, maybe you head home from work at about 3:00, temperatures will be at their max. 69 degrees for today in san jose. 67 in san francisco. we've got a warmer weekend coming your way. in fact, temperatures are

beginning to warm up a couple degrees as we head throughout today and tomorrow and friday. then everything changes as of monday of next week. you'll notice that on your seven-day forecast. scrolling right there at the bottom of your screen, that shows you your specific micro-climate seven-day forecast. all of us expecting rain as we head back to your tuesday. so temperatures are going to be really, really cool next week. we also have that rain tuesday, wednesday. and i'm watching thursday for the potential for some moisture to come right over the bay area. this will all clear out as we head throughout the end of the week, but overall looking at rain three out of five days for your workweek next week. enjoy these warmer temperatures while they last. we'll have more on that coming up for you in just a moment. he's beginning to always outlast the commute. i see him here until 10:30 just about every day. >> good morning. do the little elf's work with the videos over there. can't even find the words right

now. typical build approaching the toll plaza. this is nothing dramatic at the by bridge. the map shows you that you have a nice easy flow through the maze and moving out. road crews are the biggest issue. in fact, one of the only issues over here. the upper east shore freeway. no problems. behind me, there's antioch. highway 4 typical for that build. over here on my right, we have a north bay. a nice easy flow of traffic. i said my right, that's your left as you're looking at the screen. we talked about the traffic lights. we have the build coming out of the altamont pass. the slowing right here, we'll give you the live look over there. the road crew is still there. you see this on the approach, just as more traffic volume heads in toward livermore and dublin. we have the slowing because one lane is still blocked here. they're waiting for something to set. it looks like they put some pavement down just off the slow lane there. the flashing lights we saw go eastbound, nothing reported for chp or for the area, but we'll keep tracking those reports.

meanwhile, back to your maps, we'll show you the rest of your bay. we'll zoom down toward the south bay. the rest of silicon valley, no big deals here. the little yellow blips you see here and there, down to 57 or 58 miles per hour. on average, that means a slower vehicle probably drove through. back to you. a new study could have parents concerned about the air quality around their children's schools. researchers in spain have linked air pollution to memory and attention problems in children. researchers tested elementary age kids for a year. the study found less cognitive development among children in highly polluted schools than those in less polluted areas. socioeconomic status did not appear to be a factor. coming up next, the very human problem that is impacting one of the seven natural wonders of the world. plus, what happened moments after this car crashed into a campbell vet clinic. pretty amazing video to watch next. and a live pic right now of

the bay bridge, which will always amaze you, no matter how many times you see it. folks just getting ready to start their wednesday right now. we'll be right back with a look at your traffic and weather.

you're watching "today in the bay." >> welcome back, everyone. taking a live look outside. what a beautiful view. a different look at the bay bridge this morning from a distance of emeryville.

he ran, but he couldn't hide forever. a choir director accused of sexually abusing a teenager is under arrest. prosecutors say roger geist had an inappropriate relationship with a 13-year-old boy. he met the boy while he was teaching choir. all this supposedly happened between 1998 and 2002. he was arrested in 2002, but skipped bail. the "l.a. times" report geist was found somewhere in the united kingdom and has been detained. officials have not said how they found him. a very natural thing is becoming a problem on one of the seven natural wonders of the world. nepal's mountaineering association is trying to get the government to require climbers to properly dispense of their human waste. more than 700 climbers tackle that mountain every single year. while the government has not come up with requirements for getting rid of human waste, it does have rules requiring climbers to bring down about 18

pounds of trash. a dog is doing fine this morning. you may remember this story. an elderly woman accidentally drove straight into the lobby of the united emergency clinic. her dog was in the car suffering from seizures. the staff at the clinic actually didn't miss a beat. the woman passed the dog through the car window there to be checked out for its condition. no one was hurt and the driver said she hit the gas instead of the brake. she probably panicked because the dog was having that seizure. but, you know, they tended to the dog while no doubt calling 911 about the little smash. >> and everybody is okay after ducking for cover. 5:26 right now. coming up, an update to breaking news. a look at a high end music store in san francisco. it's the latest site of a smash and grab this morn. we'll have the latest on the investigation next. and another person arrested in connection to a homicide in gilroy, but now police are still looking for one other suspect

who's only 17 years old. we'll be right back.

a man is gunned down, with a his family is telling us this morning. and the flaw in your smart phone that is putting your personal data at risk. what apple and google say they're doing about it. good wednesday morning to you. clear and warmer for today. we'll keep that warm-up going well into your weekend, and then the pattern changes entirely. we'll have your microclimate forecast in just moments. off the 580, these folks are not done with their workday, so you have to take a little extra time. >> let's take a live look outside this morning from the south bay. halfway through your workweek, wednesday, march 4th. this is "today in the bay." from nbc bay area, this is "today in the bay." >> a very good morning to you.

thanks for joining us. >> an update to some breaking news. a san francisco high end electronics store, just the latest location in a rash of smash and grab burglaries. >> stephanie chuang live in the lower pacific heights neighborhood this morning. a man says he saw it all happen? >> reporter: he did. i just spoke with the owner of music lovers audio and video here. he says they were just broken into three weeks ago, about $20,000 worth of things stolen that time, and that he had just changed the alarm system. the last time, three weeks ago, they basically broke in through the window next to the one you see damaged this morning. this one happening at 4:00 this morning. we got here maybe 20 minutes later. the cops had just arrived. the alarm had apparently gone off, but there are two sets of windows here. one man says he did see the -- almost the entire thing unfold. after he woke up to the sound of a crash and breaking glass noise, three people in trench coats with their faces covered,

grabbing what they could out of the store. >> they definitely knew what they were doing. in and out pretty quick. >> he was saying it looked like they knew what they were doing. there have been other high end electronic stores targeted. the last one was at audio vision san francisco where the criminals crashed a pickup truck into the store. they stole an estimated $100,000 worth of electronics. that also happened around 4:00 in the morning. so back here, you can see that, again, this is completely smashed through. the owners trying to figure out what was taken. he says last time they proeetty much break half of the things and grabbed what they could, and last time there were two people involved from what he could see,

that they do have cameras and hopefully those images will help police investigate both burglaries. live here in san francisco, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> okay, stephanie, thank you very much. community leaders in oakland calling for change after a young father gunned down outside of his home in the oakland hills. >> bob redell live at the oakland police department this morning. what have police said about this case? >> reporter: not much so far. no arrests. as far as we can tell, investigators are still trying to figure out why this young man was targeted. yesterday morning, someone shot and killed marcus west outside his grandmother's home in the oakland hills. he was 21 years old, the father of a 2-month-old baby. his grandmother heard what she describes is just one boom. she ran outside to find her grandson in the middle of the road dying from a gunshot wound. >> i told him, you know, marcus, we love you.

everybody loves you. are you praying? and his face sort of -- the muscles sort of relaxed. he couldn't talk, of course. i said pray, marcus. and then i prayed. and then he did that. and that was it. >> reporter: west became the 18th person to be killed in oakland over the past couple of months. last night, alameda county supervisor keith carson along with leaders of local organizations met to figure out how to help young men in urban communities stay out of trouble, whether that involves mentoring, job placement, or therapy for drug and alcohol abuse. carson believes the crime problem has gotten so bad in oakland that he has declared 2015 the year of the african-american man. reporting lye outside oakland police headquarters, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> meantime, that community in mourning this morning. thank you very much, bob. police in gilroy searching this morning for a teenager in connection to a homicide investigation and they've just arrested a second suspect. investigators served a warrant

for rodrigo bejarano's arrest. he's accused of killing robert heiser. he was found beaten to death. his house had also been ransacked. investigators are looking for a third suspect, a 17-year-old girl shown in this picture. she's believed to be one of two people caught on camera, accused of using the victim's credit cards. the other person in that video is already facing charges in the case. new details this morning about the deadly shooting in antioch we reported on yesterday. police have arrested tony belfield on murder charges. kimberly saunders and richard ludlow are also accused of being an accessory to murder. antioch police say an officer spotted the three people inside of a car leaving the homicide scene late monday night. a short chase ensued and the car crashed into a house. belfield, saunders and ludlow all arrested outside of that home. pet lovers say they'll give $25,000 for information leading to the arrest of whoever threw a

dog and her puppy from a moving car in santa cruz county. the reward had been set at 6,000 last week, but nearly quadrupled with a recent contribution. victims of the deadly asiana plane crash at sfo have finally cleared a legal victory. 72 of the victims have reached confidential settlements in their lawsuits against the airline. those settlements also include compensation from boeing and the company that made the faulty evacuation slides. three people died in that crash. recycling food scraps may soon become a bigger fixture in palo alto. city leaders are endorsing a new effort to expand composting. residents would be able to dump food scraps into green recycling bins along with yard trimmings. the plan would launch in july if the full city council approves. council members are also considering a new ordinance to require all commercial

businesses to compost. >> to do yard trimmings, you would want to see some lush grass out there, hopefully some rainfall would be good, although christina you're saying we get to enjoy a nice weekend first and then start tracking the rain. >> to start, at 43 degrees. a nice chilly start in oakland. we're going to get an early taste of spring with temperatures peaking in the mid 70s just about everywhere. we're starting out chilly. as we get into this afternoon between 12:00 and 3:00, a rapid warm-up coming your way. we've got uniform numbers with offshore flow starting to take shape. everything changes when it comes to that sunset time over the weekend. we'll have more on that for you in just moments. 68 degrees on the peninsula. 67 degrees in san francisco today. 69 degrees, a nice warm day

coming your way in the north bay, so we're going to see a nice day today. temperatures will get a little bit warmer for tomorrow. even warmer as we get into your friday. look at these weekend numbers. south bay is at 75 degrees for both saturday and sunday and we'll see a nice day at your local beaches as well. it's wednesday. a good time to start thinking about those weekend plans. the north bay this weekend, wine country, 75 degrees on both saturday and sunday, before those changes move in. we'll talk about those showers in your forecast coming up in my next report. right now, though, i want to check your drive, welcome in mike inouye. >> i want to welcome still these folks over here westbound 580. this crew working a little later than we all thought. i'm sure they're not happy about it either. this is west 580. still have the slow lane blocked at the off ramp, depending which direction you go. there's slowing approaching the scene because of the bright lights. look at the map, the distraction slows you down. there was other construction still reported on the grid. but it doesn't look like that's causing anything additional. just have your build coming out

of the altamont pass and approaching dublin. the interchange seeing more folks feeding over there. nothing really dramatic. just a couple seconds extra time past the scene. antioch has your typical build westbound. no slowing through concord. walnut creek interchange moving smoothly. highway 37 also coming over from vallejo. down toward the richmond san rafael bridge and continuing across that golden gate bridge. the bay bridge, we do have a backup forming. we have the fast track lanes starting to build as well. we may see those lights turned on. in san jose, we want to show you if north 101 has a build right here. this is the only slow spot, but in the become-up around story road, we heard about a motorcycle crash. motorcycles then off the shoulder and sounds like the rider is up walking around. >> that is good.

thank you very much. the next time you're driving, you might see something new. apple's recent billboard campaign featuring the photos of everyday iphone 6 users. apple combed through thousands of photos that people put online. it includes one they chose from this woman, who is one of 60 people chosen to go on billboards all over the world. she says she can't wait to see one in person. >> it's one of my goals, to go to one of my billboards. i think there's one in new york. i'm going to fly to the next month or so and take a selfie in front of it. >> a selfie in front of yourself. she's getting a lot more followers on instagram as a result. i wonder if that was the ulterior motive. >> i don't know. picture of her boots. >> obviously 60 lucky individuals own billboards. pretty cool. >> it's amazing that people don't carry their phones anymore. they just carry their phone right there in their camera --

camera in their phone. you know what i meant. let me get some coffee. coming up, how a health care hearing in washington could impact how much you will have to pay for insurance. plus, the jury has been seated and it's time for the boston marathon bombing trial to start. a live report from boston after this break. everything online.e, we do t and our old internet just wasn't cutting it.

so i switched us from u-verse to xfinity. they have the fastest, most reliable internet. which is perfect for me, because i think everything should just work. works? works. works! works? works. works.

you're watching "today in the bay." >> welcome back. 5:42 right now on your wednesday morning. a live look outside the bay bridge, as you get ready to kick start your day. a brawl erupted in the ukrainian parliament this morning with politicians throwing punches and shouting insults at each other. here's what happened. the leader of ukraine's populist radical party got mad that a former member of his party was there. the former member had joined a different party. the two yelled at each other for a while before it got physical. i know we have problems in our congress, but a fistfight, it's

been a long time since we've seen that. the justices are hearing a challenge to the health care law that claims people who buy insurance on healthcare.gov are not eligible for tax credits. >> tracie potts live on capitol hill this morning. this could affect rates here in california? >> it certainly could, because even though you have covered california and you're not buying your insurance on healthcare.gov, if lots of people are unable to do that because they're not getting that extra money and help, it could affect the entire system and rates could go up everywhere significantly. the specific question that the supreme court's looking at today in this case, king v. burwell, is the legality of five words that are sandwiched in between the thousand pages of obamacare and they talk about people being eligible if they are buying insurance on a state-based exchange, as you do in california. but that's not most people around the country. the challengers argue that

people who are on healthcare.gov are not eligible for in some cases hundreds of dollars every month to offset the cost of their insurance. if that money goes away and people cannot afford it, it could dismantle the entire system. that's what the justices are hearing today. we probably won't get a decision until late june. >> all right. that's what i was going to ask. tracie potts live from washington. the u.s. justice department today will release a scathing report exposing the history of racial bias and profiling in ferguson, missouri. the department launched the probe in response to last summer's police shooting of unarmed teenager michael brown. nbc news has learned that investigators found ferguson police habitually violated the civil rights of african-americans. investigators uncovered a pattern of unfair traffic stops, questionable arrests, and unreasonable use of force. one man is under arrest in connection with a series of shootings, one of them near nsa headquarters outside of d.c. someone yesterday fired shots at the national security agency

building in ft. meade, maryland. no one was hurt. fbi agents later arrested a man. he's considered a suspect in that shooting, plus several other shootings over the last week, none badly. new video to show you of a turkish airlines plane that skidded off the runway. take a look at that. the plane trying to land in dense fog in nepal. officials say there were 238 people onboard the flight from istanbul. the passengers had some bumps and bruises, but luckily nothing worse. okay, the gang is all here today on a chilly wednesday morning. we're tempted by the fact that spring is ever so close and good temperatures to come. >> tempted by the fruit of spring. maybe you want to get that garden growing. i can tell you, this weekend's going to be a great weekend to get out there, get started, because then we have rain moving in as we kick off next week. temperatures right now mostly in the 30s. 36 degrees in santa rosa.

38 in livermore. 37 degrees in san martin. even half-moon bay has fallen into the 30s. a clear indication that offshore flow is taking place and we have no fog, no blanket of low clouds to trap in any warmth from yesterday. as a result, that clear sky, everything radiates right back out into the atmosphere and we've got a very cold start to the day. as we head throughout the next couple hours, it will even get colder. the coldest point of the day is sunrise, so keep that in mind. grab your jacket on your way out that front door. sunny and warmer, though, to finish off the day by a good three to five degrees all across the board. temps will be in the low to mid 60s by lunchtime today, and we'll round out the day in the upper 60s. 67 degrees on the east shore. you'll notice here, not much of a difference between your south bay temperature and your peninsula temperature, even as we factor in san francisco. still expecting the upper 60s for today. almost uniform numbers. that's what happens when the wind comes from the hills and

blows out toward the ocean. negates that marine influence altogether. temperatures are beginning to climb even more so, as offshore flow strengthens. we'll be in the mid 70s and then that rain moves in as promised for next week. expecting our first showers by wednesday afternoon, we have a better chance for showers as we head throughout thursday into friday, and potentially into the next weekend as well. so you might want to make those beach plans for this weekend. we'll have more on this coming up, let you know how much we're expecting. that's coming up in my next report, but first, want to check in on your drive with mike. >> we have a slower approach to the bay bridge because those metering lights were turned on just as we did the last report. there's the backup, traditional here, but nothing dramatic as we lock at your map. an easy flow out of the maze. we have that metering back up at the toll plaza. there's the upper east shore. there's a build through concord. over here, the north bay moving at speed, just some slowing farther north out of vallejo and also out of antioch and concord. over here, we have the tri-valley. i want to get you a quick look.

this crew just getting ready, almost completely cleared. back to you. >> all right, mike, thank you very much. happening today, opening statements begin in the long-anticipated boston marathon bombing trial. >> it took two months, but yesterday a jury was finally seated in the trial against dzhokhar tsarnaev. >> we're joined now by jay gray who is live in boston. a lot of attention on this case. >> reporter: good morning, sam, good morning, laura. in the last few minutes, two buses carrying family members of victims and victims of the attack were ushered in through a side door. they'll get special seating inside the trial as it begins within the next 15 minutes or so. the lawyers are also said to be in the courtroom at this point. let's talk a little bit about what we expect to hear during these opening statements. from the prosecution, what we expect is just the magnitude of this attack, the suffering that so many went through, not only

in this city, but across the nation as a result of what happened here. on the other side for the defense, they'll likely try and shift the focus away from dzhokhar tsarnaev. 17 of those charges punishable by the death penalty. instead, try and draw attention to his older brother tamerlan. they'll say that he was the mastermind behind this attack, was a father figure to dzhokhar tsarnaev, and that dzhokhar tsarnaev was only carrying out the plan that he implemented. now, a lot of analysts will tell you the focus here is not on guilt or innocence as much as it is on avoiding the death penalty for the defense, something they'll try and establish early on. this will last, the entire trial, three to four months, the judge says. that's a timeline that means it's all but certain it will be going on monday, the 20th of april. that's the date of this year's boston marathon.

here's a look at some of the stories we're working on for 6:00. police are looking for whoever shot a young father as he stood outside his grandmother's home in the oakland hills. it happened yesterday. police are not commenting on the case. in the meantime, police in gilroy have made a second arrest in the murder of a man. rodrigo bejarano was served with a warrant for his arrest. he's accused of killing robert heiser, who was found beaten to death in his gilroy home last month. investigators are still looking for a 17-year-old girl in connection to that case. a par limp in -- a paralympic hopeful had his running blade stolen, it costs about $30,000 and is specific to its runner. this morning, several companies promising fixes for a massive security flaw on internet browsers. researchers just released their findings on something called the freak attack.

one expert says apple web browsers and google's android browser are both vulnerable. apple will reportedly release a fix and google says it's already provided the fix to manufacturers and to wireless carriers. the flaw basically makes people vulnerable to hackers when they're browsing the web. researchers say you can blame it on an old u.s. government policy requiring u.s. software manufacturers to use less secure encryption programs on items that are shipped overseas. the weaker software spread eventually made its way back to the u.s. some government agencies like the white house, the fbi, and the national security agency are particularly vulnerable. corporate sites including kohl's, groupon, and american express are also scrambling right now to fix that flaw. there's no evidence that anyone has actually executed a freak attack. it is 5:51 right now. a warning for parents about where you put your baby down for a nap. a company called dream on me is recalling about 13,000

bassinets. the wire supports on both sides can disconnect, causing the fabric sides to lower. the company is worried babies will fall out or become trapped and suffocate. if you have one of these bassinets, you can contact the company for a free repair. happening today, oakland international airport sets a new report today for the most nonstop destinations in its history. the airport adds its 46th nonstop flight tonight to tijuana. the flight takes off from oakland for the first time, just after 9:00. a silicon valley company is taking on nintendo, xbox, and play station with its own game machine. >> scott mcgrew, you're not so sure it will actually catch on? >> which is probably unfair of me. this machine is actually not in stores yet. but take a look. it's called the shield. not only is it a game machine, it will also connect you to youtube, hulu and whatnot. think of it as a play station

meets apple v. it is a very good company. it makes mostly chips and it does that incredibly well. but it keeps trying to be a couple company and doesn't succeed at that very well. for instance, this is a portable game machine. it's also called the shield. i'm betting you do not own this. i'm betting you have never seen anyone playing this. it's available in stores. i actually got this from scott budman's desk where he tests gadget. it was under his windows phone. so he uses his windows phone more often than he uses this. on the nasdaq, it's trading very close to a 50-week high. the nasdaq slipped back under 5,000 tuesday. we expected that. it may trade lower again today. maybe a little less spectacular this time, but man, they've been good lately. >> uh-huh, you're right. >> our expectations have been raised now. thank you very much, scott. our drought news just got a

little worse. snow levels in the sierra are at record lows. the water content of the snow statewide is now 19% of average this year, near the 18% record set in 1991. that dismal figure comes despite a weekend storm that dropped as many as five inches of snow. >> too bad we can't have more of a taste of what's happening back east. just a taste, though, because people on the east coast are bracing for yet another storm. more than half a dozen states expected to be hit with a winter blast. west virginia's governor is mobilizing the national guard. many states are still digging out after last round of snow. it's not letting up there for them. >> yikes. it's been an onslaught in the northeast. here, just looking for a few systems hopefully next week. >> that's right. but for now, almost spring-like temperatures, christina. >> yeah, an early taste of spring. sam, laura, everybody at home, happy wednesday. want to help you get over that hump so you can get closer to the warm weekend we have in store for you before our next

rainy pattern develops. we're looking at three out of five days next week will need that umbrella. temperatures mostly in the 30s and 40s to start. we're on our way to the upper 60s to start the day. want to get you going this morning thinking about that. because hey, we're still in the off-season. then as we head through next week, we get that chance for rain. looking good by the end of the week to potentially accumulate up to half of an inch of rain right here in the south bay. so enjoy that warm weekend while it lasts. >> folks, we're looking over here to san jose northbound 101. on the map, it looks a little more severe than normal, but everything's lining up to be a typical commute so far. north of 680, we see a lot of slowing, but i'll give it two or three minutes and that should start to simmer down. i told you the motorcycle driver was up and walking around. that was a mistake.

the bike was up. the motorcycle driver might be injured. we'll monitor that for updates. we'll talk about the flow through the tri-valley here. welcome back 580 smooth. we still have one truck remaining, but no lanes blocked from overnight road crews. we'll see everything start to shift over. we see 680 building there as well. see spot read. you remember that classic. it's hard to believe, but we found a dog that can do just that. in this case, pictures are worth more than a thousand words. >> what's this say? good. mia. what's this say? good job! what's this say. there you go. >> it turns out this mini australian shepherd can read the cards. mia's trainer says she can get

any degree to do the same trick, even an old one. it all starts with a vocal command. the dog then learns the hand signal for the same word and eventually recognizes corresponding bold letters. >> that is one smart doggie. how a michelin rated restaurant narrowly escaped a fire early this morning. >> reporter: and the latest in a string of smash and grabs in san francisco. the latest target, a high end electronics store. and stephanie chuang live in san francisco with what the owner had to say. unfortunately, not the first time it's happened in the last month.

flames threaten a famed michelin restaurant overnight. >> and the boston marathon trial officially gets under way. the latest from inside the courtroom coming up next.

good wednesday morning to you. i'm meteorologist christina loren. clear and cold to start this morning. a nice warm sunny finish and then we bring on the rain and potentially quite a bit of it. more on that in just moments. >> we know we have quite a bit of commuters driving around the bay. we'll check out the slowdown that's there as well as farther west. >> let's go south as well. the entire bay area covered. live look outside downtown san jose. it is wednesday, march 4th. this is "today in the bay." a very good morning to you. i'm sam brock. >> and i'm laura garcia-cannon. breaking news. san francisco police on the scene of yet another smash and grab style break-in. ep
