good saturday morning to you, we're taking a live look outside at san francisco. both spans of the bay bridge there from emoryville on a cold saturday morning. the first saturday of 2016. good morning to you, thanks for joining us. i'm kira klapper. happy new year to my friend anthony slaughter who has a look at our forecast. >> thanks for joining us this weekend. it's looking good this week, at least for the first half.

we're talking rain. we're in this drought and heard about el nino and we're starting to talk about several systems, not just a couple little pansy storms. here we go, we're talking about some pretty big storm systems. there you can go lined up getting ready to make their way into the bay area. today will be dry. temperatures back into the mid 50s for the bay area. it will be a nice day. as i mentioned and you mentioned as well we're talking about spare the air alert and rain nft forecast for tomorrow. that's going to continue, the rain, tomorrow, goes all the way into thursday. >> wow. >> so get ready, clean out the storm gutters. stay tuned for that. anthony, thanks. a new law that could be critical to help catch hit and run drivers comes just a few days too late for one bay area family. a 65-year-old woman was hit and killed in hayward on tuesday. all her family knows is that two cars hit her. one of the cars stopped and the driver cooperated with officers.

investigators say that the people in the other car got out to see what happened and took off. a new law called a yellow alert went into effect yesterday on january first. it's similar to an amber alert which sends out information about child abductions on highway signs. with a yellow alert, car information and license plates will flash on those same signs in the event of a hit and run that results in a major injury or death. >> the public can help locate this person. it will be more beneficial to us to have everybody that's driving on our freeways looking for that suspect rather than just having law enforcement looking for the suspect. >> i know he just got shocked, that's why he ran away. so i can forgive him. the only thing he just has to face the consequences of what he did. >> hayward police are looking for a burgundy or dark colored toyota with significant damage to the front end of the car.

a woman stabbed in front of a san jose business has died. the man is still hospitalized in critical condition. investigators say they have suspect in custody but they will not release any further information until the investigation is complete. a high school teacher in fairfield is facing serious charges. police arrested eric hankins on thursday for allegedly having an inappropriate relationship with a 14-year-old student. investigators say it happened on the campus at fairfield high school where the 27-year-old teaches science. a they first learned about the allegations in early december. the teacher had been on administrative leave until his arrest on december 31st. a difficult start to the new year for eight people in

vallejo. they were forced out of their homes after this fire ignited yesterday morning. one family barely made it out of their home, once firefighters arrived they quickly knocked down the fire but it was too late. the families lost everything. >> i could feel the heat. >> we saw it coming from like, the trees and we left the house and called 911. >> the cause of the fire remains under investigation. a similar scene in san jose where one family is now out of their home. this fire broke out on west virginia street while battling the flames one firefighter was injuried and taken to the hospital. doctors say the injuries were minor. no one in the home was hurt. no word of what caused this fire. a major announcement from president obama has second amendment supporters watching his next move closely. obama announced during his new

year's address he plans to by-pass congress and take executive action on gun control. the president is meeting with the attorney general on monday to discuss his options. those may include expanding background checks and closing the so-called online and gun show loopholes. which allow gun purchases with no background checks. a bipartisan gun control plan failed to pass in the senate three years ago. president obama says in light of the mass shootings that have occurred during his time in office, he believes the time to act is now. >> we know we can't stop every act of violence. but what if we try today stop even one? and all across america, survivors of gun violence and those who lost a child or a parent or a spouse to gun violence are forced to mark anniversaries every single day. >> california has some of the strictest gun laws in the country. in order to purchase a gun here there's a background check process involving several pages

of paperwork that's sent to the department of justice. that usually takes ten days. we spoke to a shooting range instructor at a south san francisco gun store that says ten days is enough. >> we're already strict as it is. >> the president is meeting with the attorney general on monday. a gunmen opened fire in a cafe in tel aviv. the gunman to the right of the curtain firing a barrage of bullets. it happened about 3:00 yesterday afternoon. that gunman is still on the loose. police say they know who the suspect is. they're only saying he is 28 years old. no word yet on the motive for the attack. back here in the bay area, a health warning in the north bay. people in one neighborhood are being warned about e. coli in the water. the press democrat reports that water from two private wells in

has been. back into the midsgifr 50s. 54 for the tri valley, 57 for the south bay. now as we move ahead to the next couple of days we'll be talking about improving air quality. because of the rain coming through, for today we have calm winds in place and a spare the air alert. the first of the year. so that means you can't burn any wood in the fireplace. i know it's tempting because it's cold out there. as we move through the week ahead we're talking about rain returning. tonight night showers will push back into the bay area. tuesday another system moves in. this will be a little bit stronger and it could give us a couple inches of rainfall. that rain will continue into wednesday and thursday. here it is, across the pacific our first storm system that will move in for sunday. the next storm system behind it will be here tuesday. that will linger for a couple of days.

let's time this out and you'll get better idea of what i'm talking about. tomorrow, a dry day, even today will be a dry day. tomorrow during the day it's going to be dry. 8:00 in the morning, we'll see clouds in place. it won't be until 7:00 in the evening until the showers start to arrive for tomorrow. even though we'll see rain in the picture for tomorrow. most of the time that we'll see the sunshine will be dry. the rain doesn't actually arrive until the evening hours. the snow, not going to be a huge snow event this go around. the storm systems moving in are warm storm systems. this is the next seven days to plan out what you're going to be looking at for the sierra. we're talking about less than a foot of snow. so you get an idea of the storm systems will have more water content and more warmer air. so that means that temperatures are at least the snow won't be as conducive with this system. we're looking at more rain across the mountains. tomorrow the rain moves in, monday lingers to the morning hours. clearing by the afternoon.

tuesday the storm system pushes back into the region. wednesday we'll continue with rain. here's how much rain we're expecting. not a huge amount. the storms will come over a series of days. we're looking at the potential of an inch and a half for our inland valleys. up towards the north bay and coastal mountains, that red denotes we could see two and a half to four inches across the higher elevations. the good news, it will come over a series of days, not just one day. that would lead to flooding, the potential of flooding, not a huge risk here because, again, it's going to come all week long. make sure you got the storm drains cleared out. once the rain falls it's hard to start clearing those things out. >> too late by that point. thanks. we have much more aahead on "today in the bay." did you know there are monthly meetings below the decks of historic ships in san francisco? we'll show you how they provide a unique glimpse into the city's past. past. its link t
