good sunday morning to you. your time is 7:00. we want to give you a live look right now out at san jose as the sun begins to rise. thank you so much for waking up with us. i'm vicky nguyen. let's get a check of that microclimate forecast with anthony slaughter. >> good morning. we're looking at clouds building across the area. we have a cold front that's going to slide through later on this morning and that's going to trigger a few areas of showers mostly for the coastline. you can actually see the showers are very light in nature. so a lot of this stuff that we do see this morning will be light and probably just enough to get the ground wet. so we're not expecting a whole lot in terms of rainfall.

nonetheless, any accumulation. so temperatures today will be coming down because of that cold front moving through. no 80s for the bay area. just the tri-valley. upper 70s. mid-70s for east bay and 60s for san francisco. a little drizzly early in the day and then we'll see a few clouds towards the afternoon. but again, a good mix of sun and clouds as that front moves through. temperatures coming down. very fall-like this afternoon. we have another chance of rain in the forecast for wednesday. we'll talk more about that coming up next. >> waking up to sprinkles this morning for us. >> definitely. breaking news, west oakland home is evacuated as police surround the spot where two wanted gunmen are believed to be holed up. the standoff has been going on since 1:00 this morning on center street. that's just two blocks away from the west oakland b.a.r.t. station. we first broke the story during our 11:00 newscast last night. police say the men inside are suspected of shooting two people in a car in a cvs parking lot in livermore. one person was killed. the men got away in a black car

with racing stripes. but police caught up with them in oakland. this is how detectives described the wanted suspect. >> we're dumping every resource, and we are very concerned because for this to come here and we don't know what it is, we're trying to discover why they chose this location to engage in criminal activity. >> and again, this is happening on center street in west oakland. avoid the area. police say the men are armed with an assault rifle. we'll keep monitoring this fluid situation and we'll certainly update you with the very latest. hurricane patricia making history as the strongest hurricane recorded at sea and the strongest storm to hit the pacific coast. this morning as the clouds clear, mexican officials say no deaths or injuries have been reported. still this is what locals are facing. just take a look. raging floodwaters toppled trees and more than 3,000 damaged homes. most tourists are already on their way home after immediately packing up to find flights or

buses out of the area. >> banging on the windows. the windows started to get foggy. it was one of those moments where you're like okay, okay, it's coming. we've got to go. >> winds were at one point topping 200 miles an hour. that could have been potentially catastrophic, but the system weakened into a tropical depression as it hit mountains protecting those towns. and a happy ending for one bay area couple whose wedding in puerto vallarta was put on hold. the men had planned on spending the day before their wedding relaxing by the pool, orunning through the rehearsal and enjoying themselves. instead the entire wedding party was evacuated to a local school turned hurricane shelter. the grooms took their rings just in case they had to hold an impromptu ceremony there. thanks to a dramatic shift in the weather, the happy couple was able to tie the knot on schedule. >> we woke up, the skies were blue. they were clear. the high humidity dropped. temperature was beautiful.

everything wept off according to plan. >> we gave our guests the wedding they were looking for. we gave them a little bit of drama. we had pa trsh tricia coming in. and at the end of the day, everything was perfect. >> great attitudes there. flights in and out of puerto vallarta aren't quite back to normal yet. as for the grooms, they are honeymooning in australia before returning home to san zo hey. 15 million people are on high alert as the remnants of patricia move closer. 18 inches of rain from the last three days have already flooded parts of texas, damaging roadways and knocking a freight train off its tracks in north texas. now the focus is on the southern part of the state as the remnants of the tropical storm system move closer. >> depending on how fast that rain comes down, we know there will be some high-water incidents. we have, of course, all of our first responders on notice that they may have to deploy.

>> as much as ten inches of rain are predicted for south texas which could trigger another round of flash flooding. stay with us for continuing coverage of this storm. we will be constantly updating our website, nbcbayarea.com as well as our nbc bay area app. a man on the run makes a daring jump from the bay bridge. but he couldn't escape the long arm of the law. this morning he's behind bars. it started yesterday morning with a report of a man with a knife in the marina district. when officers arrived, the suspect jumped into a running patrol car. police say he drove off, hitting several cars during his getaway. the suspect made it all the way to treasure island before police caught up. that's when he ditched the car. the police scanner describes what happened next. >> we have the suspect. he jumped off the off-ramp. he is now on treasure island. >> they got him down. they got him down. >> code 4. he is not in handcuffs. stand by. >> as you heard, the suspect

jumped 30 feet from the upper deck to the lower deck of the bay bridge. a police officer also jumped after him to make the arrest. neither man was badly hurt. homeowners in milpitas got a reminder that fire season is still in high gear. a fire broke out at 2:30 yesterday afternoon in the milpitas foothills. that's near calaveras ridge drive and came within a few yards of several homes and forced two families evacuate. crews attacked the fire from the ground and the air. they say wind and steep terrain delayed them from getting the upper hand. firefighters remind people that even though the calendar says october, fire season is not over. >> we still do have some extreme fire conditions in california in the bay area here. so we just ask people to be extra vigilant and maintain fire safety and help us make sure no other fires like this occur. >> after putting out the fire, firefighters went to work using a bulldozer to create a line around the blackened grass to make sure this area is contained.

that fire burned about four acres. flames shoot up into the sky from a warehouse fire in san carlos. take a look at this video a viewer posted on twitter. the warehouse is located on american street near the state plumbing and heating building. firefighters say the fire broke out just before 8:00 last night. the cause is still under investigation. no one was injured. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, exclusive video of a raid by u.s. troops at an isis prison. the body camera footage that appears to show a dramatic hostage rescue. also, a message from the white house about school exams. president obama's surprising take on standardized tests.

time now is 7:09. let's start you out now with a live look out at san francisco. looking really nice. anthony said some of us are waking up with drizzle on our

doorsteps. but just a little rain. just enough to get the ground wet. nothing major. a little more coming midweek and anthony will be by to give you all the details in just a minute. we have new video this morning of what appears to be a dramatic hostage rescue captured on body cameras at an isis prison. the raid reportedly freed dozens of hostages and left one u.s. commando dead. nbc's richard engel shows us the mission as it happened. >> reporter: several days ago u.s. commandos and kurdish forces launched a dangerous raid on an isis prison in iraq. we've obtained footage of what happened inside that prison when those troops stormed in. the footage appears to show the joint u.s. kurdish raid on an isis prison in iraq last week. it was obtained by the arab 24 news agency. it says from kurdish military officials. amid the sounds of gunfire, the hostages emerged, terrified and

barefoot. their hands held up to show they're unarmed. bullet holes in the walls suggest there had been a gunfight. a voice in arabic apparently from the rescuers yells for the hostages to keep moving. they do in filthy prison gowns. some appear stained in blood as they move to safety. the commandos inspect another room with a large isis flag. what sounds like american voices can be heard. an adjacent hallway is lined with what looked like prison cells. the troops move with skill and have american-made weapons. much is not shown in the footage including the moment when american master sergeant joshua wheeler from the top-secret delta force was shot. a senior u.s. military official told us he is aware of the footage and that the successful rescue of so many hostages it shows is testament to master sergeant wheeler's dedication

and sacrifice. still, critics will question what american troops were doing there in the first place. richard engel, nbc news, istanbul. a message from the white house to schools, cut back on standardized tests. president obama says that students are spending way too much time taking tests. he says this time could be better spent on learning and fostering creativcreativity. so the president is pushing for a reduction of standardized testing. in fact, he only wants 2% of classroom time to be spent on tests. according to a recent study, students in big-city public schools take 112 mandatory starpdized tests between pre-k and high school graduation. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, a new beginning for gma testing. we have the first look at the company that can tell you about your genetic makeup. anthony. this morning we're waking up to a little drizzle across the north bay. elsewhere we are going to see a good mix of subpoena and clouds today and temperatures coming down over the next couple of

fan of apple's latest upgrade. the company just got hit with a $5 million lawsuit because of its new wi-fi feature. the lawsuit was filed on friday in a san jose court by a florida couple. they say the wi-fi assist function automatically switches the phone's connection to cellular if the user is on slow or spotty wi-fi. this means faster internet, but it can also rack up data charges. you can check to see if you have this function act i have beenated on your phone by going to the settings menu. and it's both helpful and controversial. genetic testing, it's become a hot topic in the bay area, and it has a new twist. our business and tech reporter scott budman has an inside look at a testing company's turnaround. >> reporter: remember the vials you spit into to find out where you're from and what health concerns you may have? they're back. >> the fda asked us to pause. >> reporter: 23 and me, the silicon valley biotech company that made headlines with its genetic tests, then had to stop telling people about risk

factors by order of the fda is once again testing our health with fda approval. for $199, 23 and me can test you for 36 conditions while giving you information about your genetic background. >> genetics can help us learn about ourselves in so many ways. this has to do with our identity and the way we relate to our families through to the choices we make on a daily basis and some serious health considerations. >> reporter: now from its brand-new mountain view headquarters, 23 and me can tell you if you have a genetic predisposition for a specific disease. but with high-tech testing in the spotlight, after allegations that palo alto-based blood tester is not as accurate as it claims, 23 and me is moving slowly towards more information for its users. >> taking something that's complicated and making it simple and something that's abstract and sciency and microscopic and

really human and relatable so people know what it means and what to do with it. >> reporter: it's a field that's still very sciency and new to most of us with a growing number of people working to make things easier. scott budman, nbc bay area news. let's turn our attention to the weather and anthony slaughter is here with a look at the weekend forecast and the week ahead. you said maybe a little rain in our forecast. >> yeah. today's not going to be much. if you have outdoor plans, don't cancel them because we're just looking at some clouds and maybe a little drizzle and that's all. and this afternoon's actually going to turn out to be a nice, bright afternoon for our inland valleys. you see that storm system barrelling down towards the coast right now. that cold front right off the coastline. and that's what's triggering a few of these showers this morning. i want to zoom in and show you some of the areas that we're seeing the rain now. coming over the richmond, san rafael bridge, a little drizzle. most of it's towards fairfield and sacramento. all of this is very light in nature as it's falling down to the ground. maybe just enough to get the ground wet near vallejo, napa,

fairfield. again, it's all going to be light in nature. right now cloudy skies for most of us. temperatures in the 50s for the most part. and again, the north bay is really the only place where we're seeing that showery activity. this afternoon, not going to be as hot as it has been. back into the upper 70s for the south bay. mid-70s for the peninsula. same deal for the east bay. the tri-valley, back into the low 80s there. cool in san francisco. only 66. now, the cold front, there it is right off the coastline. it is very weak, though, for us. it's not going to trigger a whole lot of rain. in fact, the only chance of rain we have will be this morning. by this afternoon, by 4:00, virtually clear from santa rosa all the way down through san jose, gilroy and even monterey as well. so this afternoon we'll clear out and pretty good. then the fog returns this evening. waking up to a little bit of coastal fog for tomorrow. so your forecast for today does bring san jose back to 77 degrees. saratoga up to 79. gilroy will hit 80 briefly. 59 for san mateo and cool at the

coastline. good mix of clouds for san francisco. across parts of the north bay, that's where you'll have the best chance of seeing any bit of drizzle for the morning hours. temperatures coming down, though, back into the 70s for santa rosa. 67 for sausalito and a good mix of clouds for the east bay and tri-valley with sunshine there. 72 for oakland. 82 for pleasanton. it will be warm over the next couple of days but we have another chance of rain. another system sitting off the coastline. that moves in tuesday night for the north bay. this is 11:00. you see showers and even yellow, that denotes heavier rain. that moves right over the bay area. the north bay expecting to see a pretty good shot of rain for wednesday morning. same deal for the east bay. south bay as well. look at that yellow bull's-eye right over the south bay. that's a good chance of seeing thunderstorms through wednesday afternoon. so we will keep you posted. this is really great news because we definitely need the rain. and as we get closer to the official start of rain season, which has been this month, things really start to get going

six million californians may be added to the voter beginning next year, more than 6 million californians may be added to the voter rolls

increasing the size of the potential electorate by o one-third. that's because the new law signed by jerry brown. larry joins us to explain it. why do lawmakers say yes to this? >> you know, california, vicky, has a very poor record of voter registration. we rank 38th out of 50. that's not so hot. so this law will require the department of motor vehicles to register any citizen doing business with the dmv unless he or she explicitly says no, thanks, i don't want to be registered. now, over time, as many as 6.6 million californians could be added to the registration rolls if they go along with the idea. >> one-third, as we said in the opening. what do you think this does to the voting population? how do you think it's going to change the demographic of the electorate? >> you know, records show that in california, latinos, african-americans, asians, pacific islanders, these folks are all disproportionately

unregistered. now, to the extent that the new law works as intended, the numbers are likely to grow, adding yet another dimension to california's already diverse electorate. it could mean a lot for these people. >> so by 2016 we are definitely going to see a jump in the number of registered voters. but that doesn't necessarily guarantee we're going to have more people who actually show up to vote. that's one thing the law can't address. >> which is why this whole thing may really be much ado abouting to. you know, congress, a new years ago, passed the motor voter act. it was 1993. and that law enabled voter registration at all state dmvs. yet state turnout in california has not increased. and in 2002, california adopted a permanent vote by mail option. again, the hope that there would be an increase in turnout. no, it did not increase. so the bottom line is, you can make it easy to vote. as easy as pie. but, you though, if there's no

likelihood that anyone's going to do it just because, you increase that possibility. so yes, the new law in the end may be insignificant. >> i think more people on the voter rolls is always good. it's a chance to at least reach out to more people. >> it's a chance but you know, vicky, if they're not ready to do it, they're not willing to do it, if they haven't done their homework, you koond of wonder. >> that's true. that's a good point. before we let you go, congr congratulations on the publication on yet another group. this is your first children's book. it's called "the road to hana." what was the inspiration behind this book? >> you though, too many times, vicky, i get caught, maybe you get caught in completing a task or assignment. and in the process, we kind of lose everything that goes into it. what happens along the way? along the way. so this is especially true these days. i think where demands for productivity, immediacy, all these things give us just too little time to appreciate what we do to get it. this little book, this children's book focuses on

appreciating the journey as much maybe or more than reaching the destination. and i guess it's a version, really, of the idea of stopping to smell the roses. let's see what's going on around us as we trudge through life. >> it's certainly something we all can relate to and i think even young kids can appreciate that because the pressure grows. it's building on kids as youngk. >> get it done now, get it done quick. i really think so. here's where we can maybe learn from kids in this book who often appreciate the wonder. they're not caught up quite as much as we are. they appreciate the wonder in whatever they're doing. and putting a bit of that wonder in our lives maybe will go a little bit toward increasing our own concontentment. it's written for children but it's really intended for adults. >> i love that because you want to enjoy the books that you're reading to your kids, too. we appreciate it. find the book at amazon and

other online bookstores. it's also available at llumina press. as always, thanks for being with us. we appreciate your time. and still ahead on "today in the bay," a flight from a galaxy far, far away makes its maiden flight from a bay area airport this morning. waking up to a little drizzle activity and more so cloud cover. we will continue to see the clouds this morning clearing out this afternoon. but another chance of rain in the forecast ahead this week. we'll talk about that coming up after this break. now to a breaking news update.
