oil field. the company says it is taking responsibility for the leak. county workers in charge of overseeing the cleanup in livermore say the contaminated soil needs to be removed first before they can safely dig deep enough to test the water supplies. the county is requiring the oil company to provide those test results by december 21st, which means eight months will have passed before some people in livermore find out if toxic chemicals may have oozed into their water supply. this isn't the first time this oil company has had to report a leak or spill of hazardous chemicals. you can learn more by visiting our website, nbcbayarea.com. back to you. thanks so much. if you do have a tip for our investigative unit, give us a call at 888-996-tips or send us an e-mail to theunit@nbcbayarea.com. coming up, a stunning discovery. the connection between the murder weapon used to kill an

the rain has cleared here, but not the entire region. there's still some rain as you head to the south. some snow in the sierra. if you'll be taking 5 down to los angeles, it may be wet and snowy, too. we've had some snow in some of the higher elevations there. our temperatures are starting to really dry in the north bay. 30 in napa, 34 in santa rosa. san francisco 44 degrees, san jose 43. it will be cold for the next several days. so get used to it. our winds are starting to cam down. we'll have winds of 10, maybe 15 miles an hour during the highest peaks. the calm winds will allow the temperatures to really plummet tonight. that's where we're expecting freezing temperatures in the val liss. highs today in the mid 50s. more sunshine coming out as we go through the day. a calm wind once again. that's not a major concern. looking ahead to our next chance

of rain. dry and cool as we go through the weekend. here we are on monday. if you'll be heading out of town for thanksgiving and coming back on monday, another round of rain moving in. still pretty chilly, too. it looks like the weather starts to get more active with yet another round of rain moving in next wednesday. we're also concerned about high tides and the king tides for today as well as tomorrow. by late morning we may have some of the low lying areas, roadway flooding a concern. again tomorrow, right around the same time, shortly before noon. temperaturewise, no warmup in sight heading into the weekend. let's see how it looks on the roads with mike. >> over all the speed sensors look great around the bay. we want to talk about slick roads because of the rain coming

through. we'll zoom over toward southbound 680. that's where we have the one crash i'm tracking. reports of a single vehicle involved, and it's a motorcycle, trying to find out whether or not there are any injuries or any lanes blocked because we do have a slower drive. last i heard it was the center divide and possibly in the fast lane. but activity might cause a distraction. slowing south from pleasanton toward 84. your tri-valley commute looking good. as we move toward the bay bridge toll plaza and the north bay, i want to point out richardson bay. that's north 101 to highway 1 off stinson beach, closed in preparation for the king tides. they'll likely do that again. as folks come off the roadway and encounter a little water, they could lose control. yesterday everything was safe. they did shut that down for a period of time. we'll get a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. this and 680 southbound are the only issues.

back to you. 5:52 right now. so as sam brock might tell you, walnut creek has a serious baller among the newest neighbors. steph curry just purchased this nearly 8,000 square foot home. the price? $3.2 million. with or without a 16-game winning streak, it's a five bedroom, five bath home, has four fireplaces and a wine cellar that holds more than 2,000 bottles. by the way, the listing makes no mention of a basketball court. but i suppose he could leave his work at work and come home and relax. >> you don't need me to tell you that that guy is a baller. he's a ball er. up next, an oil leak may have contaminated water supplies in one part of alameda county. we'll tell you why officials

still don't know whether hazardous material may have seeped into the drinking water in this community. ==laura/cu== the men accused

of damaging a fremont dam six months ago - are now behind bars. at 5:56. the men accused of damaging a fremont dam are now behind bars. police arrested these four men all from fremont. investigators say they slashed an inflatable dam in a restricted area in may. the dam is on alameda creek not far from quarry lake.

surveillance video helped detectives catch the suspects. nearly 50 million gallons of water was lost and a the damage came in around $8 million. a hazardous chemical leak was discovered more than seven months ago. >> environmental health inspectors say the leak may have contaminated underground water supplies. investigative reporter bigad shaban has obtained stacks of documents to learn more about a leak that could be posing a health threat to residents. >> good morning. the leak was discovered at an oil field in alameda county run by a company called e&b natural resources. crews there are still working to clean up the mess that was actually discovered at least seven months ago. county officials still can't answer basic questions about the impact of the leak and whether those living near the site could be in danger. about 400 wells are in the area, but state officials couldn't tell us how ny people rely on that water. most, if not all, are private

wells, so the water is never treated for possible contaminates before it's used for drinking and farming. in a statement e&b says it believes the leak happened years ago, before they ever bought the oil field. the company says it is taking responsibility for the leak. county workers in charge of overseeing the cleanup in livermore say the contaminated soil needs to be removed first before they can safely dig deep enough to test the water supplies. the county is requiring the oil company to provide those test results by december 21st, which means eight months will have passed before some people in livermore find out if toxic chemicals may have oozed into their water supply. this isn't the first time this oil company has had to report a leak or spill of hazardous chemicals. you can learn more by visiting our website, nbcbayarea.com. back to you. thanks so much. if you do have a tip for our investigative unit, give us a call at 888-996-tips or send us an e-mail to theunit@nbcbayarea.com.

out with the rain, in with the cold. how long these chilly temperatures will last coming up in your micro climate forecast. a new twist in the murder of a bay area artist. what we now know about the gun used in that killing. a holiday tradition minus the traffic nightmare. the big change coming to the south bay's most popular light display. "today in the bay" starts right now. good wednesday morning, thank you for joining us. i'm sam brock. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. the rain moving out, but cold, even snow on bay area peaks remains. live look outside from san bruno mountain and the golden gate bridge. you can see some clouds lingering in the sky, slick roads out there still. >> a lot of folks still drying out from yesterday. let's get right to meteorologist kari hall. the wet weather is moving out, we're seeing some of the coldest temperatures we've had in quite some time. >> we're talking freezing temperatures as we go into tonight. the next few mornings we'll have lows dipping into the 30s.

be mindful of that, time to bring in the plants. we're already freezing in the north bay. since we do have wed conditions out there, we may have also some icy conditions, especially in the elevated roads which may be closed down this morning. if you're getting an early start on the thanksgiving travel, a look at today's forecast only brings it into the mid 50s. we'll see more of the 50s heading into the weekend. i'll detail that and we'll take a look at the next chance of rain and the snow in the sierra. how is it looking at the bay bridge, mike? >> looking all right. looking at the metering lights. it was a little more gradual. this is a holiday week as we look at your maps, we see a slight dip in the speeds at the bay bridge toll plaza and berkeley curve. that's about it. highway 37 and highway 4 lighter than we typically see. the north bay no pr
