only pod where cameras are installed that santa clara county jail and they had to use pepper spray to ultimately break up this fight and here's the santa clara county sheriff who is explaining what happened in this fight in the first place. >> looks like one inmate brushed up with another and you can see a lot of fist fighting going on in the videos and the inmates are spread pretty much throughout the pod. it's interesting that it happened here. >> now, hazmat crews are brought in to clean up the pepper spray. none of the deputies were injured. at least one inmate suffered minor injuries. we're live in san jose, pete suratos. >> the timing of that brought only adds to the question surrounding it. it happened just hours before a judge ruled the three correctional deputies must stand trial for last summer's beating death of an inmate. michael tyree died inside his cell where yesterday's brawl occurred. if convicted, those guards could face life in prison.

the first one moves through. and it also brings in some scattered showers. but it will be a fairly weak system. the next system moving in will be a little bit heavier. as we get a closer look at the timeline and the futurecast today at 1:00, scattered showers moving through just briefly and then the rest of the day some spotty, light rain. and then we start out tomorrow morning. still, some rain possible and it becomes a little bit more widespread as we go into the afternoon and then at what happens here. when we see the yellows and the oranges. that indicates a very heavy rain and that will continue into the evening as well as the overnight hours before it does become more scattered and light into the day on sunday. we will still have some rain moving through and another system setting up sunday evening that could stream some heavy rain across parts of the peninsula, the south bay and the east bay, which could some additional rainfall on to our totals that we're expecting right now. we're looking at the potential anywhere from an inch and a half

around san francisco and maybe over 2 inches. there could be some spots in the south bay and parts of the peninsula that has much more rain and about 2.5 inches just this weekend. we'll keep you up to date that. let's get an update on what is happening across the golden gate bridge now with mike. >> we'll see if we can see the bridge. there you go. there is some lights. the glow, the fog, the mist and the drizzle and the damp, wet roadways for the golden gate bridge. that's the factor right now. look at your map. light volume of traffic you would expect on a friday and the speed sensors aren't affecting any problems. and the slick ones, as well. across the bay bridge low clouds and fog drift across. impeding our view around treasure island. a smooth drive across the san mateo and dumbarton bridges. get away traffic eastbound will starty this afternoon. remember to bring those chains for the weekend storms, as well. the south bay moves very smoothly. 101 moving towards us.

customers or riders during peak hours. starting this spring passengers who travel during nonpeak hours can earn points. those points can be redeemed for small, cash prizes. b.a.r.t. received a federal grant for the program which right now is scheduled to last for about six months. >> we'll make you pay more because you're traveling during the busiest hours. we would give something back to you as a reward for moving your commute hours. also great for research. >> as they say in jerry maguire, show me the money. b.a.r.t. looking for 25,000 participants including downtown employees. b.a.r.t. says an estimated 5% of them free up the space of a ten-car train. >> the better perk telling people taget up and give you seats. >> little chivalry. u krsparking a lot of react from students. hundreds of students will be rallying on campus today at noon. they want to show support for

an extremely good number. we're getting down sam and kris to a low enough unemployment number that i don't think it will go a whole lot lower any time soon because we are close to entirely low unemployment. >>lert. >> very interesting to see how the numbers will be used now in the political conversation. new this morning a dramatic water rescue unfolding in antioch with a security guard just happening to be in the right place at the right time. he jumped into action and nowed for saving a woman's life. >> "today in the bay" stephanie chuang was in the right place at the right time this morning. steph, you got to talk to that hero security guard. >> caught him before he left his overnight shift and he was saying, you know what i was happy i was able to help. he sees a woman and says he sees her driving recklessly around this parking lot at the antioch marina and going 45 miles an straight into the boat launch crashing here into the river.

he rushes over. he ensures no one else is in the four-door cadillac with her and pulls her out. minutes before antioch police arrived. they called in three water boats and divers went in to help search the river for anyone else. there was no one. the woman was conscious when he started to save her, but very nervous. >> i tried to see if maybe she's conscious. luckily she was. otherwise it would have been a different story. then i see her screaming saying i'm going to die, i'm going to die and try to calm her down as much as possible. >> and thankfully, of course, she's all right. we did learn from antioch police that the woman is 41 years old and lives in oakland. they smelled alcohol on her breath and they gave her a field osobriety test and she failed and they did arrest her for misdemeanor dui. she's physically fine with the help of the security guard this

brawl only adding to the question surrounding it. it happened just hours before a judge ruled three correctional deputies must stand trial for last summer's beating death of an inmate. michael tyree died inside his cell inside the same facility where that happened. the bay area now has three cases of the zika virus. first case in napa county as we reported it now is joined by two additional cases, one in san francisco, one in alameda county. the san francisco and alameda county cases actually surfaced last month but we're only learning about them because official os didn't believe there was a public health threat. the san francisco patient contracted the virus after traveling to central america. that person has fully recovered. no details are available yet on that patient in alameda county. at 5:44. one bay area lawmaker tackling the problem of football-related concussions. if you follow football, you certainly know a lot of the lengths that some researchers

appearance from the one and only prince. he was in the house to witness the ws beat the thunder. 121-106 and that win makes it 44 straight at home matching the chicago bulls' record set 20 years ago. a warriors win on monday puts the ws all alone at the top of the record books and fans cannot wait. >> i'm more excited about on monday when we can actually break it. that will be 45. >> it's a remarkable streak. probably a couple games in there that we should have lost. so it does take some luck, but it's been very important for us the last couple years to establish the home court and really dominate it and we're proud of oour guys for that. >> the warriors next game on the road against the l.a. lakers but, again, they will have the chance to break the record for the most consecutive home win monday night when the magic come to town. good luck getting those tickets.

>> also a chance, by the way, to break the all-time record in a season by the same chicago bulls. getting exciting. more goods this morning about the american economy. >> scott mcgrew. goldilocks numbers you were looking for. >> not so much. they were actually, kris, too good to be the goldilocks. the jobs numbers were very sol. 242,000 jobs added in the month of february. unemployment rate stays below 5% at 4.9. that's good news and people, most people like those big numbers and good news. but, wall street wanted something not too big, not too small. not too many jobs added because it raises the specter of the fed raising rates. that's why they wanted goldilocks we'll see how the traders react in about 45 minutes. the dow rose slightly thursday up 44. nasdaq was just up 4. more evidence this morning people are packing up and heading out of the bay area creating a loss, a net loss of

population among american-born residents. the silicon valley competitiveness and innovation project says 7,500 bay area residents left last year. cost of living, obviously, an issue. the median house price in the bay area is $870,000. now, the bay area's population continues to increase, but it's from immigration. high tech is losing californians and gaining people other countries. other news, a big change for angie's list. it's going to be free. the company lets you post and read reviews about contractors and painters plumbers and what not and up until now it's been subscription and drove a lot of people to yelp. i use yelp because if somebody gets 55-star ratings on yelp and i don't have to pay to read that, i'll do that. >> no such thing as a free puppy, scott. thank you. silicon valley right now buzzing. this is not over a high-tech

device, but kind of bizarre and ominous flier. >> posted in downtown palo alto outside of a company a data analysis company. look at the flier there. it's a little gruesome in a rainbow kind of way. the flier shows an image of a dead unicorn with a message your common shares are worthless. tech insiders call a privately held company valued in the billions of dollars. nbc bay area tracked down the poster's creator and he called it a sign of a new tech bubble that will chill the ipo market and some analysts agree with him. >> you'll see few fewer people leaving the facebook and the google to chase a dream because hearing all the horror stories of everything going bad. >> did not return our request for comment. >> there was a time in california as we get a check of weather and traffic right now when the idea of rain seemed

kind of like a unicorn right in the middle of our drought. but now things are really looking up. >> now as we look at this forecast and heading into march and looking for a miracle march, especially when it comes to heavy rain and heavy snow in the sierra. we'll talk about that. a live look from at and t park and towards the embarcadero and fog and low clouds and has created some low visibility in spots and looking at what we are expecting as we go through the day. the storm timeline. here's a look at the golden gate bridge. you can see the fog there also. we will see that there and then the north bay as the clouds continue to increase else where. later today brief passing showers and otherwise a mix of sun and clouds and we'll also have a bigger storm system arriving tomorrow that could produce some heavy rain along with some strong, damaging winds and flash flooding will be possible. a look at the seven-day forecast at the bottom of the screen. we will have more of this rain in the forecast over the next several days and here's part of the reason why. the atmospheric river is setting

up and that is what we associate with a trough and basically brings in those low pressure systems right into the bay area. and those upper level winds and keeping it wet for several days. and it starts out with some spotty rain today, but may get a little bit heavier by 1:00 this afternoon. and then rain kind of lightens up as we go into tonight and then also for the start of the day tomorrow with, once again, a stronger storm system arriving tomorrow with some heavier rain. and we could still see that rain lingering into sunday. so, between now and sunday, we're looking at the potential of at least 1.5 to 2.5 inches of rain in spots and flash flooding is possible and also debris and mudslides will be a concern. winds will be gusting anywhere from 35 to 55 miles per hour and we do have a wind advisory in effect and that could cause downed trees and power outages and in the sierra we're looking at heavy snow starting late saturday night.

one to three feet of snow ahead over the next several days. let's get an update on what's happening with the morning commute now mike. >> kari, we'll take you over towards the berkeley area. murkily berkeley. murky berkeley. slower drive because of the conditions and slick roadways north of here. san rafael, novato. keep that in mind as you're driving around. doesn't register on our weather index and the orange glow and highlighting will continue as we see fog thicken around the bay and that will happen and we'll show it with our live cameras, as well. slowing out of the amltamont and in towards livermore. we expect 101 slowing and we don't expect this. closure around lee and camden. now, i know that just before 3:00 i saw something on the chp and they were discussing whether it was chp pd jurisdiction. sounds like more going on. if this is where you're driving in the area, be prepared for

traffic control and well off the 17 and 85. again, we're tracking that issue in san jose and the rest of the silicon valley moves well. >> a lot of green out there, thank you, mike. coming up next, help is on the way. the new bill that would provide more than $100 million to fisherman impacted by the dengous crab season shut down. calls from viewers about a big crash in san jose. right now our assignment desk is listening to police scanners to get more details we also have a crew headed to the scene and look for updates on our twitter page. also, a quick-thinking security guard this morning credited with saving a woman's life after she crash immediate to the bay. our steph chuang is at the scene as she spoke with the guard who saved her. she has a live report coming up. steph posting updates on twitter. help is on the way for thos

well, it's been a crush to an entire industry. a bill that would provide nearly $140 million in funding is going to be introduced later this morning in san francisco. that would primarily benefit california fishermen and businesses who suffered economically these past several months. part of that money would be used to study the harmful acids on the west coast. the commercial crab season is closed afterlic health officials found unusually high levels of

toxins due to algae blooms. the same crime in the same peninsula neighborhood on the same day. later that night the same crime reported at another home about ten minutes away. san mateo ocounty sheriff deputies say no one was home during either incident and they have not made any arrests. scary moments unfolding in berkeley. police say the driver of this rv got out moments before an amtrak train barrelled into it. happened after 6:00 on the northbound tracks right near fourth street in berkeley. so, the driver got out thinking he might have been okay, but he didn't make it too far. police say when the train hit the rv, the debris went flying hitting the driver and seriously injuring him. police say everyone onboard that train is okay. well uc berkeley consideration cut its college of chemistry sparking some reaction this morning from students. >> hundreds of students will

who travel during nonpeak hours can earn points. they're going to be tallied and those points can be redeemed for what we're told are small cash prizes. b.a.r.t. received a federal grant for that program which right now is scheduled to last for six months. >> instead of saying we're going to make you pay more, rather do something that we'll give something back to you as a reward for moving your commute hours and also great for research. >> b.a.r.t. is looking for 25,000 participants that includes downtown employees. the agency says that an estimated 5% of them could free up the space of a ten-car train. good morning, i'm stephanie chuang live at the antioch city marina where a man at the right place at the right time saves a woman who crashes into the water. just released in the past 30 minutes or so, we'll break down what we can expect to see on
