couple minutes. >> but first to kari hall tracking the latest. >> the rain is moving into northern california at this point. as we go into the commute time, but now if you're getting out on the roads, you have an early start, it is looking good, and we are starting to see those clouds rolling in. chilly temperatures in the mid 40s for the north bay and south bay, low 50s for san francisco. the temperatures will not warm up as we go through the day, so it will be windy, wet, and also chilly, and more of that weather as we go into tomorrow as well. i'll talk about that, snow in the sierra, the flooding concern and strong winds, all coming up in the microclimate forecast, let's see how things are going. >> kari, before all this stuff you're going to talk about comes in, it's very calm. we'll look at your map, only equally smooth drive there. the toll plaza over the bridges

are also very smooth. we'll show you the overall speed senses. and then we'll show you that bay bridge toll plaza. back to you. >> mike, thank you, an update to breaking news, a chase in the south bade leaving for an all-out search. stef just got to the scene in campbell. what did the investigators tell you? >> reporter: good news, to le us know, sam. the third suspect in this chase is caught in the last half hour. we're here in this campbell neighborhood here casamont elementary school. we understand the driver, a woman, maybe 19 years old is in that car. this is payne and harrison where an acura legend came back stolen a little ways away from here, crashed in this neighborhood, you could really see it right

now. it's around the corner waiting to be towed. this started around 3:00 in the morning when deputies spotted this car, when it came back stolen, the deputies pursued the driver, at one point at 90 miles an hour on the expressway. it crashed, and all three took off running. they were eventually found. >> we had two four-man search teams. we were lucky with you the manpower and time to do it. >> so back here live again, looking at santa clara county deputies wrapping up the scene. they have all three of their suspects caught. they'll be booked into the santa clara county jail. one suspect did complain of pain, so there were paramedics who responded. we also understand, and this is

preliminary information, but that the female driver was recently released from the woman's jail in milpitas. we're not sure for what. also the investigators did not find any weapons on the scene. we'll have more for you in the next half hour. that's the latest from here in campbell. >> thank you, stef. to more breaking news, this time overseas, a russian warplane shot down. >> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez is tracking it for us. >> the russian president is amping up the rhetoric in this already volatile relationship. just moments ago vladimir putin said the down us was, quote, a blow in the back from turkey. let's get right to the video, where you can see something going terribly wrong. the video shows a plane, a streak of flames, and smoke

heading nearly straight down spinning as it goes. it then crashes into the turkman mountain region near the coastline and we're getting records into the newsroom that one of the two pilots that ejected is now in the hands of rebels in that region. to a map for context about where this harngsd you can see how close it is to the border with syria where russia started air strikes against opponents of bashar al assad. back to the video now, the two spots you see are parachutes in the sky. the commander the the rebel group that calls itself the 10th brigade in the coast told the associated press that the two crew members tried to land in government-controlled areas, but came until rebel fire.

one was shot and dead upon landing. it's not clear what happened to the other pilot. the military says it fired on the unidentified plane after warning ten times in five minutes it was violating turkey's airspace. french president hollande is head to do washington, d.c. right now to meet with president obama at the white house. the recent terror attacks in paris have triggered this visit. the main focus will be on france's military push against isis. france would like to game just how far the understanding isling to go. including in the category of military contributions. >> it is believed the two will talk about the possibility of ground troops in syria. up until now, president obama has been reluctant to send in

more than just special ops. today's meeting is supposed to start in less than two hours. tracy potts is following this, and she'll be live from washington decreases c. in the next half hour. the strongest cold front of the season is actually on its way to the bay area, which means rain, even some snow in some places. got to bundle up the dogs out there, i suppose. communities are making sure they're prepared. of course, right now any rain will do, but in oakland they're preparing for clog drains on top of that, a chill outside. pga says the workers will be ready for anything. >> certainly if we need to kell with open up our emergency centers. >> the storm is also expected to add some hefty snow to the

sierra snow pack. meantime, laura, those helping the homeless in the south bay, right now in a race against time. they need to get supplies out to the thousands of people stuck outside in the cold. >> some people die under cold snaps. you say there's not enough emergency shelter beds. the sunnyvale shelter is not open, so we wanted to get on the road appeared pass out blank either. >> that's the new shelter in sunnyvale. problems with the water hookups are delaying the opening under the weekend after next, so obviously urgency here in that situation, and the temperatures will drop, it is winds are going to kick up, some rain even coming in. let's check in withi i. >> definitely a winter storm that will bring in very cold air. this is what to expect as we take a look at the futurecast.

by. >> caller: it's moves into santa rosa, and it's heavy rain starting out. there may be rumbles of thunder. it moves into francis before noon and the south bay right around lunchtime with heavy rain. if you're heading out this afternoon, we will take a break and there will be more scattered showers behind that. this is when that cold air will be here and that snow falling in the sierras. looking pretty changeable as we go into the next 24 hours. as we go through today, the wind picks up with gusts up to 45 miles an hour, and also risk of some storms, and the snow levels dropping down to 2,000 feet, and the next few morning will be very cold. valley temperatures in the 20s and 30s. i'll detail all of that and a look ahead. let's check in with mike to see how the commute is going. >> kari it's notice right now and much clearer view. stick with kari, because that system coming in, that will make

the timing of your morning drive pretty critical. so we're going to watch for that. so far, across the golden gate bridge, we're looking toward the north bay and east bay. in fact i'm going to zoom out and show you the big view of the bay. and some schools are off all week. others starting tomorrow, others starting thursday. we're looking at a lighter flew. a little build for dublin, no concerns for the tri-valley. back to you. mike, always on the nice list. coming up next, there's also a list and we're checking it twice, of the companies who are naughty and nice. we'll have more on that. plus new rules if you get a drone under the christmas tree, coming up in business. and i'm bob redell. live courtside at the oracle arena. just over 12 hours from now, golden state warriors are going to try to maybe nba history. that story is coming up. on the verge of history. you're

taking a live look at oracle arena -- where all the action will play out tonight. the warriors are now one win away from breaking the nba right now on the verge of history. tonight the action will all play out for thousands of fans. the warriors now one win away from breaking the nba record. "today in the bay's" bob redell is live at oracle arena with what this means for players and the fans. that will be the place to be tonight, bob.

>> yeah, if you can afford it. we'll have more on that in just a moment. but if the warriors beat the lakers tonight, then they end up in a league of their own, becoming the first team to win the first 16 games of the season. they are already in a very exclusive club. there's only two other teams. you've got the houston rockets from '93-'94, and '48-'49 washington capitals. that's a long time ago. the warriors joined the club with sunday night's win, making them the first defending nba championship to go 15-on to start a season. the warriors, you have to keep in mind keep accomplishing this amazing feat because of the back problems with luke walton. stef curry also seems better than ever, having just been named the western conference players of the week again. >> the reason we were 15-0, the reason why last year we had a

winning streak, we try to bottle that up and ride that wave as long as you can. >> it will continue. >> even though tonight's game is sold out. you can still find resell tickets on third-party web sites. the cheap seats are approaching $300, a couple thousand for courtside. the first 10,000 people at tonight's game gets one of these draped gre dre not the same team that will be appearing tonight. tip-off tonight right here at oracle arena. >> the bobblehead is number one.

>>sh. >> sure, it's only money. 5:14 right now. the faa briefed reporters on possibly new drone rules, rules you'll have to follow if you happen to get a drone in underneath the christmas tree. trying to come across as drone-positive. >> as a federal agency it went out of its way to sound very friendly. the faa looking at a series of recommendation. while a final decision has not been made yet, we expect these rules. first you give the faa name and street address. the faa says so it can update you on rules. secondly your drone will need a unique identifier, a number on the side, and this would 'reply to drones from roughly half a pound and heavier, whether they were out of the box or made from

scratch. now, that half pound real, really is 250 grams, but roughly a half pound is a lot smaller than we expected and would include some drones that most hobbyists would think of as toys. talking to faa sad march tors, what is more interested is about drones falling on people's heads and how much less worried they seem to be about drones crashing into airplanes. not that they don't think about that, but that was not their primary concern when writing up the new proposed rules. landon dowdy is at cnbc world headquarters. good morning. >> stocks may feel pressure pressure for the second straight day. it posted marginal losses after one of the best weeks of the year. look the for dabba on home prices, consumer confidence, and should show the economy grew more than expected, but up to 31

points to 17,792. the nasdaq down to 5102. scott, back over to you. >> all right, landon. disney says it would release a new "star wars" virtual reality video. this isn't it. this has fans going absolutely crazy when it was released. imagine something in virtual reality. disney is partnering up with google and verizon to release the video on december 2nd. you will need those virtual reality goggles. they called them google cardboard for obvious reasons. people are going to go nets. this was built right in san francisco, this virtual reality "star wars" film. it could be, sam and laura, what we seed in the future. this could be how we see moves, where you can look behind you, whatever was going on. >> not just the people behind you. what is going on over there. "consumer reports" is out with the new naughty and nice

his. the tops, cvs pharmacy gets credit for the walk-in medical clinicians jetblue for offers free broadband on its flights. and target another winner. the department expanded its policy of matching the lowest prices. the complete list is on "consumer reports." all right. it is 5:18 right now. kari has been tracking the storm that's going to move from the north to the south, right? >> yes, a major heads-up if you're hitting the road for thanksgiving. we have some rain moving in, chilly temperatures, if you have family coming in, you want to let them now it will be cold in the bay area for the holiday, as we take a live look now at san jose, nice, quiet, calm start to the day. we're starting to see the clouds moving in, here's a look at the radar where the rain is farther

to the north, moving into the north bay, as we head through the next several hours, but that rain will be heavy, and becoming more widespread as we go into the day. this is the way it will shape up. let me take you hour by hour, as we look at what i regard dar could look like. there could be some heavy rain in there. it moves into santa rosa by 9:00 this morning. and in san francisco as well, and then by 10:00, we're seeing it moving into the peninsula, as well as the east bay, south bay looking at that rain shortly before noon, and that is when it will be heaviest by early afternoon. we take a break throughout the evening, and then they may be more showers moving in late tonight and early into tomorrow morning. that will be the last push, with gusty winds to follow and some dropping temperatures. we're looking at the possibility of anywhere from a quarter of an inch to possibly a half of an inch where dismiss heavier bands set up. snow in the sierra, it will be a heavy one, the possibility of up

around a foot of snow. it starts around this afternoon. it wraps up, so there are winter storm warnings in effect for gusty winds. we will also have the concern of some flooding along the bay area coast because of king tides rolling in, the sun, the moon, the earth all align to cede some higher tides. combining with the storm system, that will provide some gusty winds, so we may have the bays and beaches flooding and low-lying areas, we'll be watching out for all of that. now watching the roads for you, mike, how is it looking? >> so far great, a little concerning, water coming from the sky, water from the coast, about you we're looking at a smooth drive right now over the water. the bay bridge shows a few folks waiting in the cash lanes, and the map shows you an quaemly smooth ride for the maze. we only see slowing on the certainsors over there in towards livermore, a lighter flow of traffic is what we expect today. yesterday we would have seen a

smooth drive had it not been for that crash early on in sunol. the south bay moving well. northbound routes will show you this area. the live camera no delays and no problems. we have a good amount of traffic, and that's ready with the wind. back to you. >> thank you very much, mike. > 5:21, the announcement that could be self-driving cars out on the street sooner than previously thought. are driverless cars headed for

"the fast track?" new clues suggest they may be. 5:24, driverless cars headed for the fast track? there is indications that they're rethinking their position on driverless cars. transportation leaders are looking into updating policies quickly to get the technology into the hands of consumers rather than later. it's a far cry from the cautious tone two years ago which suggested cars should be limited to testing purposes only. now to an investigative unit exclusive. water supplies could be contaminated in one part of the bay area, after hazard out chemicals from an oil field seeped underground. the leak was discovered at the end of march in alameda county. now more than seven months later, local and state

regulators are still waiting for the results of water quality test. later tonight, we explain how the livermore leak happened and why environmental officials still cannot respond to basic safety questions about it. >> are people now potential at risk? i'm not going to say they are at risk, and i'm not going to say they are -- uh, that, they are. i wouldn't say they are at risk or not. tonight at 11:00, the paper trail of documents we obtained, that details delays and potential dangers from the hazardous leak and what the company has to say about it. if you have a tip for our investigative unit, call us, you can always send us an e-mail at nbcbayarea.com. coming up, we're tracking several breaking news stories. a russian wear plane shot down

from the sky over the syrian border. the overnight developments and who is claiming respond. plus breaking news closer to home, a chase in the south bay leads to a manhunt for suspects. a live report from the scene. steffy chuang is there. we'll hear from her in just four minutes.

good tuesday morning. thank you very much for joining us. i'm sam brock. >> and i'm laura garcia-cannon. bracing for some chilly temperatures. does kari hall have her scarf and gloves? >> she's got her boots on. >> she's monitoring the radar. we can expect some rain and possibly snow from the system. >> this would be the strongest cold front we've had so star this season, and also some very cold air. it starts out with some rain if you're hitting the road early this morning, you are going to beat it unless you're heading north. we'll see that as we go through the day moving into the bay area. temperatures in the mid 50s now for the peninsula. east bay and san francisco, 40s for the south and north bay. expect it to only reached into the mid 50s, so temperatures holding steady with gusty winds and times of rain.

i'll give you a better idea of the timing and how cold it gets. let's check in with mike to see how the commute is going. >> the community we're hoping not quite so dramatic. sort of a smooth drive, and we'll look at the rain coming in. this camera will likely show it first. we're hoping bay area wide for a lighter commute, just like we saw yesterday. no backup or problems there. a little slows from the altamont. and into fremont, no drama like idea, and the south bay moving well. we'll show you the camera, though, 101 northbound shows a lot more headlights, but still close to the speed limit. thank you, mike. a chase, a crash and manhunt for suspects. it all ended one the past hour in campbell. steffy chuang is live from the scene. deputies tracked two of the suspects into people's backyards, all of this blocks

away from a elementary school railroad that's right here at harrison and payne. they had a couple teams of officers and deputies going door to door in this manhunt early this morning. you can see the acura legend that tracked into a hydrant and ended up in this person's yard here. deputies and investigators are using flashlights, trying to find evidence under the tow truck takes this car away. a cull been by air tolla avenue, santa clara county deputies spotted it, but the driver took over with two others inside. preliminary information is that speeds up to 90 miles an hour at one point eventually this car crashed in this neighborhood, all three of the people inside took off running. sheriff's investigators say they call one person right away and caught the other two by 4:30

this morning. >> we don't know if they're armed or not. it's careful. we had two four-man search teams looking on this. we were lucky we had the manpower to do it and the time. >> one was a woman, she was in the car for some time as deputies wrapped things up. she may have recently been released from the women's jail in milpitas, though it remain unclear for what. it looks like they're getting ready for the tow truck driver to take away this stolen car. the investigators did not find any weapons in it. they did recover from burglary tools, but overall, what they call a successful situation, no one getting liter. >> thank you very much. stef. we're also tracking breaking news overseas. a russian war plane shot from the sky in turkey. video just being released this

morning shows it crashing into a hillside. kris sanchez has been tracking the latest all morning long. turkey's government says it shot the plane down. >> right. there's no mystery there. the russian president is amping up the rhetoric in this already volume tim relationship with turkey. just molt ago vladimir putin saying the is it do you think of that plane was a blow in the back. the plane is a streak of flames and smoke as it heads nearly straight down, spinning out of the control as it goes. it then crashes into what's known as the turkman mountain region near the coast we're getting records that one of the two pilots is now in the hands of rebels in the region. we'll show you some context about where this happened. it's just about a half mile, russia has launching air strikes there again opponents of the

syrian president bashar al assad since september, but early this among, russia stepped up that bombing effort after eye says claimed responsibility for bringing down a russian passenger plane killing all on board. now back to another bit of video. the two spots are parachutes in the sky. the commander of a rebel group that calls itself the 10th brigade in the coast told the associated press that the two russian crew members tried to land in government-controlled areas rather than rebel-controlled areas, but they came under rebel fire. that commander says one pilot was shot and dead upon landing. it's not clear what happened to the other pilot. turkish military says it did fire on the unidentified plane after warning ten times in five minutes it was violaten turkish airspace. nato is planning an emergency meeting in the next couple hours at turkey's request. russia and its president very upset that turkey turned to nato before explaining what happened to russia itself.

sam? >> it certainly complicates things. thank you very much. this as we watch what's happening with isis and terror attacks in the same region, it's been 11 days since the paris attacks now the french president in washington today urging the u.s. to support its campaign against isis. >> tracey, is the big question is how far will the u.s. go? >> and maybe even by land, too. it's part of what president obama and hollande are talking about here today in just the next few hours. president obama has been reluctant to send troops into syria. president hollande likely will talked with him about that, also about intelligence sharing which apparently has not been happening as effectively as it could among europeans. but the military issue, the military option is a big deal here in terms of what they're going to be talking about.

the backdrop to all of this today is this new travel warning -- travel alert from the state department, warning people who are traveling abroad from the united states to be careful, especially in open-air markets, at large sporting events, and when it comes to public transportation and air transportation in light of what's been happening, that new travel alert says that isis, al qaeda, boko haram and others terrorist groups may be looking to launch attacks. the travel alerts goes through february 24th. >> we'll be expecting extra security. thank you very much, tracie potts, live from d.c. efforts to protect power plants from terrorism are in trouble. that's because state regulators are without the money any need. the legislature approved $5 million for terrorism protections, but lawmakers are now withholding that money. it's all because of an unrelated disagreement with the state public utilities commission. the state senator who pushed for the protections, calls the

disagreement unbelievable. especially with all of the concern over possible terrorist attacks. 5:37. let's talk some fun. the crow playing big bucks to see history. all they have to do is beat the lakers tonight to break in a nba record. >> all they have to do is beat the lakers, who by the way, are 2-11 right now. they're not exactly on top of their game. the warriors are 15-0. if they win tonight they become 16-0, the first team in nba history to the win the first 16 games. right now the record is 15-0. as you can imagine, tickets for tonight's game are not going cheap, even though it's officially sold out, you can go to warriors.com or third-party

website to look for tickets. if you want to sit on the court side you're looking at a couple thousand. the cheap seats will start running you around $300. >> it's great, fantastic. i can remember when i had season tickets, and boy, i'm just a little disappointed in myself at this points. >> i'm a huge fan, thankful to experience this time in my life. >> reporter: you think they'll get the streak? >> oh, yeah. oh, yeah. >> reporter: okay. so the streak record as it starts is 15-0. the warriors are in an exclusive club. there's only two other teams that had that report. you may remembers the 1993-'94 houston rockets. they accomplished it. so did the '48-'49 capitals, which i don't think that any of us remember. my dad probably does. the warriors joined the 15-0 club with sunday night's win. the few days prior they beat the

bulls, so again the warriors are the first defending nba champions to go 15-0 at the start of the season. keep in mind they're doing it without their head coach steve kerr, who is shrined at the moment with back problems. they have interim coach luke walton and stef curry last year's mvp and western conference player of the week again, who is leading the team on the court. obviously he's at the top of his game. at least a lot of hope to may history. tip-off tonight at 7:30. if you have a little chunk of change just lying around, you may be able to sit in one of seats. >> go check the mattress, i suppose. >> thank you very much, bob. it's going to be roaring in roar-acle. kari is tracking some rain and cold temps. >> it's going to be chilly, so bundle up. also pack the umbrella.

the wind starts to pick up today. we'll have gusts up to 45 miles an hour. with the wind and the cold, we'll also have a slight risk of this morning and snow in the sierra with some of the elevations of anywhere from 2,000 to 3,000 feet. the next few mornings will be very cold. we're tracking that rain now far to the north, but we'll be moving into the bay area as we go into the morning commutes. most likely by 9:00, you can start to see that rain come moving into the north bay. what to expect over the next few days coming up. let's check in with mike to see how it looks. >> we have the bay bridge toll plaza. the metering lights are o. and the toll plaza, we feel that, but it's a lighter flow around the bay. we expect that to thanksgiving week. some schools off all week, others start their vacation tomorrow or thurl, but we're looking at a nice, easy drive.

around 9:00 we should see the rain coming in and proceeding down into this area, but we don't see problems right now. so far just a little build over here. well-580, and a live look at fremont, the volume holding steady speeds as well. back to you. >> thanks a lot, might be. 5:41, coming up a bay area college chancellor is investigated for breaking the rules. >> reporter: is alcohol to the district credit card? >> um, i'm not dwight too sure. >> the record showing the booze he bought with public money. and the young man accused of bringing a bomb -- it was really a clock -- to school wants money as well. week take a look at business and tech. ♪

follow the rules when it comes to his district credit card, which is paid for about public money. we found he paid for hundreds of dollars worth of alcohol while doing business. he called the charges petty and insignificant. he first told us he knew of the policy, then said he didn't know if it was valid at the time of purchases, then wasn't aware of the policy. he also said he reimbursed the district for -- he did not provide any proof. students tell us they think the chancellor should be disciplined. the said the are within the parameters. in other words, thee fine with it. listen to the chancellor explain the charges himself and see the alcohol he bought. our full report is online at nbcbayarea.com, just click on the "investigations" tab. guys? if you have a tip, give us a call, or send us an e-mail.

many california schools are doling out fewers suspensions these days with a positive ripple effect. a new ucla study conclusion fewer suspensions have led to higher test scores. that's three-year study finds that school districts around the state are lowers suspension rates, some by as much as half. that includes west contracost r.a. schools, which top the list that reduced suspensions. they're working with teachers to better relate to their students. as a result, students are performing better in their classroom. a young man in texas suspended after he brought a clock to school, is suing his former school and a texas town. >> to the tune of $15 million. scott mcgrew, some of the ahmed's biggest supporters reacting with disappointment. >> i think a lot of them are disappointed. there is no question that the suspension and arrest did cost the family money. they had to hire lawyers, and ultimately decided to move away

from texas to qatar, but there is some surprise this morning about the lawsuit. $5 million against the school, $10 million against the town of irving. one interesting twist in the suit is it may finally allow the school to tell its side of the story in court, because ahmed was a minor, the school was fairly tight-lipped. it did say right now the media only has one side of the story. understand that the school district cannot release our statement or facts without written consent from the parents, and we have a very different version of what happened than you're seeing in the media. business news, the euro continues to fall in value. it's been years since the euro and the dollar matched, parity they call it, but it's coming close. that could do more to push of the currencies it's an oversimp lisk, but higher interest rates do make occurrence sis more, and there are a lot of things that

have to be equal for this to happen, but bottom line is gas could get cheaper, so could travel because of the lower airfares, and because europe may have some trouble obviously attracting tourists. add in a strong dollar there, a weak euro, if you're up for it, good time to see europe. >> we're always up for it, but yeah, we would have to dip into the old savings to do that. thank you very much, scott. some neighbors in san jose are being credited with catching a suspected drunk driver, so this is during a hiddant run crash. they say that those neighbors lifted a wrecked car off of a bicyclist who was hit. it happened late saturday night after a crash at vine and willow streets just south of downtown san jose. they rushed -- these happened after neighbors ran out to see what happened and lifted a car off a victim. they held up three men whomp in a car that smashed into several others. >> no night on my watch, it

wasn't going to happen. we held them. if if i had to tie them with my hose, i have -- to. >> one is fidel gomez, he was identified by witnesses and now faces charges of felony hit and run and driving under the influence. >> the neighbors bringing a lot more than just a cup of sugar. today president obama will honor the medal of honor recipients. there are 17 honorees this year. among them hall of famer willie mays. there he is, director steven spielberg and senator barbara u mikulski. one of the biggest sports legends being honored there, willie mays. we've been talking about stef curry, who may be breaking records today with the warriors, but it's also raining outside. we'll have all of that going on, especially in time for the warriors game tonight.

it would be cold and windy, and just be prepared, as we take a live look out from san bruno mountains, we are starting to see the clouds moving in. we will quickly see our weather changing as we go through the morning and early afternoon. getting ready for the rain to move into the bay area, and it will take its time getting here, so if you have an early start, you are doing much better than everyone who's already going to be on the road or planning to be on the roads later on today. so it's starting to move into ukiah, scattered light rain moving into francis once again later on. this is a look at the futurecast and what you can expect. by 9:00 we start to see it moving into the north way. it will be some heavy rain in spots, and then it moves into san francisco by 10:00 or 11:00 into the south bay in time for lunch. we will take a break from the rain. it will be windy and cool, and also sunny too, but there will be another round of rain moving in late tonight and early into
