"today in the bay" starts right now. good friday morning. thank you for joining us. >> i'm sam brock. >> and i'm kris sanchez in for laura garcia-cannon. let's go to kari hall with the weather.

>> it's mostly clear skies now with the weather system that we had yesterday continues to move away from the bay area. slick roads are possible with you will a of the rain we had and now temperatures in the upper 40s to lower 50s heading up to near 60 degrees for most of us while the peninsula in san francisco as well as parts of the east bay are in the upper 50s and 60s in the north bay and south bay. let's check in with mike to see how the roads are moving. >> kari, a very easy dry. toll plaza is better than yesterday. but we look at the maps and there's slower blips in the san francisco area. we had a couple of fender benders. two lanes blocked just as you hit towards 880. that's over to the nimitz freeway. you can access it but half of your lanes are blocked. i'll talk about something that i call stalker fog. back to you guys.

>> mike, thank you. a time of healing right now in san bernardino. the community vowing to come back stronger in the wake of that mass shooting earlier this week. this, as new details trickling in about what might have led up to the tragedy. >> today in the bay's peggy bunker is live where there was a candlelight vigil last night. we can only imagine how raw the emotions are in the community just a day later. >> well, you know, kris and sam, when we first landed here in san bernardino a couple of days ago, everyone was wondering who would do such a thing, who would commit such a horrible act. we know who the suspects are, a couple in their late 20s, syed farook and tashfeen malik. people were gunned down celebrating a holiday party and they were doing nothing wrong. at this vigil in san bernardino,

innocent people were taken from us. a woman remembers her husband nicholas. he stood up for people, was a protector. >> i'm sure that he was fighting and protecting people. >> reporter: now, the interesting thing is that jennifer also says he knew syed farook, was a co-worker here with syed farook. he was a health inspector for the county of san bernardino for five years. many people knew him and remember him as being peaceful and calm. obviously, not the case now. once again, back to jennifer as she remembers her husband. >> he knew syed. he had worked with him. he never had anything bad to say about him. >> reporter: never a bad thing to say about him. we also spoke with a woman yesterday who worked at a restaurant. she remembered when syed farook

came in to investigate the restaurant to give the restaurant the health clearance and she remembers him also as being calm and friendly. so it's something here that people are really trying to grapple with, the image they had of farook and what happened on wednesday. coming up here at 5:00, we'll tell you about a father of six, so many people are learning about this man, a baby all the way up to a teenager. that family obviously just devastated like so many others. so we'll see you again at 6:00. >> thank you very much, peggy. meantime, investigators are working around the clock trying to figure out what the motive was behind that massacre. >> and whether if it's because the husband and wife who carried out the killing spree will radicalize islamic terrorists. police have removed rubble from the home and the computers and cell phones indicate that during the past year farook was talking with people who showed interest in radical jihad. but in an interview with "nightly news" with lester holt,

farook's brother-in-law is taki taking a look at a different picture. >> he was normal just like anybody would be but nothing that i can see that he could do that. >> nothing that would fit the term "radicalized," as we have heard? >> no. >> coming up in the next half hour, we'll hear more from that brother-in-law. what he sees is behind the motive behind the massacre. we are posting any new information on our website and also on our social media platform. let's lagislative reaction washington. new details about oakland's newly proposed gun legislation. they want to ban the fire power of semiautomatic weapons and

city council calling for all weapons to be locked up in a trunk or lock box and law enforcement would be required to lock up city-issued guns even outside of city limits. this follows a series of high-profile murders linked to high-powered weapons stolen from officers. and now let's take a closer look at that forecast that's coming up. we saw plenty of rain yesterday, kari. >> it was great to see that rain. the system is now moving off to the east. we're still tracking a few lingering light showers out there, maybe just enough to head out the road to work. temperatures are dropping in the north bay. it's 38 degrees in napa. san carlos at 46 while the east bay is in the upper 30s. a look at all of the microclimates today, highs in the upper 50s. santa rosa, 63 degrees and concord, 62.

62 today in danville. let's get a look now at the commute with mike. >> thank you, kari. we'll show you the map. the issue is not here. there's a blip showing up for 85 and i'll track that but no incident reported. this was metal debris and showed up on the map before i got done with the report last time. we're going to end with this map and show you the rest of the bay. no major issues. slowing near caldecot. back to you. >> i think somebody has plans for the weekend. >> he's already in the weekend mind. thank you. we investigate why our water leaders are not using technology that's already readily available. now to an investigative unit

exclusive: ==kris/2shot== el nino may be bringing record rains, but experts sa and now to an investigative unit exclusive. el nino may be bringing more rain but experts say we will still be in a drought. >> and that's why our senior investigative reporter stephen stock is joining us. >> we not only traveled to israel to see how they address th issues of water crises there

but we also spoke to scientists and policy makers. included among those experts, former israeli president perez and alicia marcus. all agree that soliving this water cris in california is about using innovation, some of which is already here in silicon valley. they also say it's about changing california's historical attitudes and policies. the public policy institute is now calling on government leaders to reform the way that california handles water issues, including the oversight of water rights, the trading of water rights and the environmental use of water. chairwoman marcus told me she wants to work within the current system to refine and change things. she admits that in many places california continues to rely on 19th century technology, rules

and approaches to water. now, if you want to see more on all of this, we have the entire series of our water crisis reports posted at a special web page. just go to surviving the drought. it can be found at nbcbayarea.com. >> give us a call at 8 888-996-tips. >> we'll be happy to get those tips. we'll be right back.

60s. we'll be very comfortable. and then as we head into the weekend, more clouds moving in by tomorrow. and then i'm going to stop it on sunday. this is sunday morning. some rain is moving in for the north bay and then it moves elsewhere across the bay area heading in to at least those hours before noon. by the afternoon, though, it should be clearing out. this should not ruin your weekend and we may not be done with the active weather just there. but look at how much rain we could see for that system moving through on sunday. a possible another inch for the north bay and then moves to the south bay and fizzles out but brings a little bit of some showers there. the weekend forecast stays cool and our highs are slightly below average in some spots. upper 50s, a chance of rain as we head into sunday and, once again, it does stay active heading in to next week. possibly a couple more rounds of rain on wednesday and thursday. so, of course, we'll keep you up to date on that. let's check in with mike to see how the roads are moving.
