"today in the bay" starts right now. good monday morning to you, thank you for joining us. i'm kira klapper in for laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm sam brock. good morning, kari. >> good morning, sam and kira.

warm air settling in, once again. we will keep the freezing temperatures as we go into the late night and early morning hours. still some rain farther to the north, but i think a lot of nat will be basically fizzling out. some rain moving off to the east and wet roads left behind. 38 degrees in the east bay and looking at highs today reaching into the low 50s. it will at least be sunny as we go into the day. i'll detail that and what to expect into the next several mornings. >> water happening on the roadways in san jose. look at that. you kind of see it kicking up between these few cars. there you go. so, that's the green on your maps right here and thank you for that timing. now, looking over here, the only thing of note, really, because of the wet roads. they are starting to taper off and wetter conditions for 580. west 580 coming in towards north

liv livermore avenue. sound like a single car on the shoulder. now to breaking news, a deadly fire at an apartment complex in oakland this morning. fire departments were called to apartments just up from the oakland coliseum a little after 1:00 in the morning. they found a couple apartments on fire. after they extinguish the flames, they found two bodies in the unit. right now he's gathering more details and an update from damian in our next half hour. as temperatures continue to plummet, thousands of customers are without service this morning. >> yesterday the area experienced a loss of pressure and may be linked to the recent cold snap. about 200 workers sent to try to resolve the issue and they shut off valves to make sure the gas wouldn't get into homes. in one neighborhood, folks spent the evening in the driveway just trying to warm up.

>> there's no gas. we took out the fire pit and we had all christmas leftover dinners and came over and heated up in the microwave and all ate here. >> they're going it together. pg&e along with the red cross opened two warming shelters located at timber point elementary school and discovery bay community center. pg&e does not know when gas services are going to be restored. the big question facing investigators is if is a hate crime. you can see here there's little damage, nevertheless, just one of the series of attacks mosques send across muslims across the country. last night the islamic center for alameda had a forum. the interfaith gathering was aimed at getting people to talk about this problem. they want everyone to take a stand against hate crimes.

>> obviously, there has been a political rhetoric going on in our country the last three months or so and unfortunately from political candidates and people making inflammatory statements about muslims suggest different things to keep people out of the country. it's not acceptable. >> the attack on the tracy mosque was one of two on friday and the other one was at a mosque in houston, texas. arson there caused quite a bit of damage and police don't know who did that either. disturbing video that captured national attention of a woman in fairfield hurling her dog to the ground. this video may be difficult to watch. police identified the woman here as brandy chin. as you can see, she's carrying her dog by the collar and just tosses him across the street towards her ex-boyfriend's. it was the heat of the moment ki kind of thing. >> why did she lose her cool? >> we were arguing about some

personal things and just got blown up into something else. and i think maybe it just got out of hand. >> that video was posted on social media and since she left fairfield we're told that the dog, though, is okay. fairfield police are asking for help. one person is hurt, all investigators can say at this point is three people forced their way into the a room at the hotel. this was just before:00 yesterday morning on central way. some kind of fight happened and the victim was shot in the hip. three people got away in what is only described as a green sedan. anyone with information is asked to call fairfield police. we mention the fact that it's very cold outside right now. tough times to be without heat and we hope all the folks in discovery bay get it soon. kari hall joins us with much

more on that. good morning. >> another cold front rolling across the bay area. most of the rain has rolled on off to the east. but we're still left with wet conditions as you drive out this morning for work or hitting the road. driving family out of the area as we go into the regular pattern heading into new year's day. now, we are now feeling temperatures at 38 degrees. it's 39 degrees in santa rosa and san francisco is at 43 degrees. it will not be a warm day, once again. even as the rain clears out, we get a little bit of sunshine today and highs in the upper 40s to lower 50s. a breezy wind and freezing temperatures again tonight. i'll let you know how cold it gets and it's coming up in the microclimate forecast. >> i was just about to sneeze and i caught it in time. 580 westbound. looks like slick roads and, again, right there. the off ramp as these cars hit it. this is our example because that's why you're going to watch still slick roads in the south
