"today in the bay" starts now. >> 6:00. good morning to you. thanks so much for joining us,

i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm telling you what, we are seeing a lot of people's breaths out there this morning. it's cold, but maybe improving. kari hall has a look at your microclimate forecast. >> it is cold out there, sam and laura. as you head out, wear some extra layers. 38 degrees in the north bay and those temperatures continue tadip and will do so as we head towards sunrise this morning. but look at these highs today up to 67 degrees in the peninsula and the south bay. 63 degrees in the east bay and san francisco and overall a very nice day and we'll be in the 70s before you know it this i'll detail that and the south bay with mike. >> tracking this shot north 101. thicks are moving better over the last few seconds. that's much better news. 101 just north of 680. that is concern because the clustering that i saw indicates a crash around mckie or

alanrock. no incidents reported over the last ten minutes. specifically the last seven. we have been concentrating. 87 shows a little slowing past kirtner and a crash for 580 that might complicate things and over on the shoulder a little distraction. this crash at the dublin interalso on the shoulder. distractions on the area lead to a little bit of a slower drive. we'll watch as they clear, hopefully, the next few minutes. bay bridge toll plaza where the build is on which is typical. back to you. >> mike. all new this morning, those cars are moving at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour plus. it was a wild chase through the east bay that ends with officers using a stun gun on a suspect. california highway patrol says this alled just before 9:00 last night on i-80 when officer os tried to pull over the suspect. the pursuit led officers through oakland. that chase at times topping 100 miles an hour. it eventually ended on 880 near

the coliseum about a half hour later. officers were able to detain that suspect after deploying a stun gun. he's now facing felony evasion and resisting arrest charges. the suspect's name has not been released. amazingly, no one was hurt. decision 2016. yet another critical day in the race for white house. right now, voters in five states are heading to the polls weighing in on who they want to be the next president. >> so many options. "today in the bay" kris sanchez joining us now. depending on what happens, the entire republican field narrow or expand to the convention. >> right. five states vote today. illinois, missouri, north carolina, and, of course, the two big ones ohio and florida. which are the ones to watch because two of the candidates have hinted that if they can't win in their home states, they may be done. florida's marco rubio home state. it is a winner take all state with 99 delegates at stake. iowa is john kasich's home state. also winner take all.

there they are 67 delegates at stake. donald trump leads in florida and is a close second in ohio. >> we're going to win the 99 delegates here in florida. >> i think we're ahead and we're going to win tomorrow. >> on the democratic side, former secretary of state hillary clinton leads senator bernie sanders in all three states it is the tightest, the state, though, is just six points that is illinois in ohio clinton leads by to 20 points and in florida she's ahead by 27 points. both clinton and sanders are focused now on donald trump. >> it is very difficult dealing with some guy that lies all the time and what i think senator rubio and many of ous feel is this is a guy who insighting violence. but, let's get beyond mr. trump. >> exactly. >> to see that someone who is vying to be president of the united states is using divisiveness is stoking fear and is pointing fingers, scapegoating against all kinds

of people. i think is so dangerous. and, yes, it's wrong. it's offensive. it's also dangerous. >> nbc news has dubbed today separation tuesday. the day when we could see those frontrunners, hillary clinton and donald trump pull far enough ahead that they can then focus on each other and the general election instead of on the next round of primaries and another super tuesday. laura? >>inesttrusting to watch. stay connected to today's primaries and we're fracking all the results and post them on the top of the page as they come in. also follow us on all of our digital platforms. now a story we have been watching for 48 hours. happening now reing the heat one customer at a time. pgand e crews have spent much of the last day going door to door turning the gas back on for hundreds of customers. that gas line ruptured over the weekend, all due to a sinkhole. >> "today in the bay" bob redell live on rheem boulevard. crews making any progress?

they took a little time out, i guess. >> because of the overonight hours. this section still shut down here in downtown moraga because of that sinkhole you can see right there that formed about 36 hours ago. this was sunday evening and probably be another evening before they have this synsinkhole repiaired. 3,500 gas customers without service. they got about 2,000 customers taken care of yesterday. they had 200 people going door to door to turn on the pilot lights and make sure the gas was properly turned back on. they left red tags on the door with a number that people can call. we'll send 100 workers to try to return on the gas service for the remaining 5500 customers.

this sinkhole as i mentioned formed sunday night. the city believes there was a storm drain that ruptured underneath this section of road here at the intersection of rheem and center. all that rushing water eroded it and caused the sinkhole to form and when that sinkhole collapsed you had a power pole or a light pole at the intersection that went straight down. power was also interrupted for a handful of business customers here near this intersection. pg&e has temporary restored that lecricity with a generator. bob redell "today in the bay." >> thanks, bob. san francisco police are investigating a shooting in the outer richmond district. it happened before 11:00 p.m. near clemente street. investigators were on scene all night as the coroner was also called out. we'll bring you more details shooting as soon as we get them. a bell ringing ceremony will be held later this morning for a chp officer killed over the

1980s and it turns out he might have had some help. richard ramirez's highly publicized crime spree terrorized the residents of los angeles and later here in the bay area. sources are now telling "new york post" that san francisco police identified a second man in the rape and death of a 9-year-old girl. prosecutors are telling "the post" there is not enough evidence to anyone formally with that crime. as for ramirez, he died in 013 from cancer. a recent uptick in neighborhood crime is prompting police in morgan hill to remind people to lock their doors. police are investigating at least three recent incidents, including a home invasion robbery yesterday on rosemary circle. the victims told police the robbers claimed to be armd and forced them to open a safe. two other incidents include a burglary attempt and a stranger seen in a backyard. police have not confirmed nor determined if the crimes are connected. difficult dilemma for parents this morning. do you dress your kids for what

that's not a euphemism. they are actually a couple cars short. that's a good news for the approach. traffic flowing to the area. maze upper east shore does show some slowing continuing over towards richmond and then things are clear. by the time you get to golden gate field, you're all right. we'll track that through the area and over here that is what bob is talking about closing part of rheem. getting over towards st. mary's those are both open. ookay off of 24 if you're heading to the university. meanwhile, crash here for west 80. this crash is on the one on the shoulder. looks like all the activity has cleared and we haven't seen slowing, but track that. typical build in hayward and no surprises for southbound 101. back to you. >> thanks, mike. politics sometimes called performance theater. when broadway and the white house collide. coming up next, a free-style rap featuring president obama and the award winning star from

an ea baschool strict will to a ler major changes happening today an east bay school district changing the mascot. the principal of san lorenzo high school is asking to remove the cartoon mascot known as the rebel guy. many believe the confederate inspired image is dated and

offensive. on the flip side, some students say the rebel guy is a tradition associated with school pride. the board expected to vote later today. a lot happening in business world today starting with autonomous cars. >> google is going to washington to talk robots. >> washington d.c. one of five places in the u.s. where cars are allowed to drive on the street. google will go before congress to talk about autonomous car and we think this will be a very friendly hearing. the senate wondering how it can help and not how it can get in the way. general motors also announced it will rent gm cars to drivers in chicago so they could work as lyft drivers. you pay a maximum of $90 a week and 20 cents a mile and keep whatever you make as a lyfft drivers. if you drive enough lyf rides,

the rate is lifted. just bought cruz a software company in san francisco for $1 billion. and gm and other companies working really on two things. one, the fully autonomuos cars. like adoptive cruise control and automatic braking. there is a worry that it could cause trouble. the worry is that young people, particularly young people will pay less attention to the red. if your car will follow the car ahead of it on the highway, that might a fine time to update your facebook status. that's fine if you're in a fully autonomous car but the new semi features in a way kind of have the worst of both worlds. they tempt the driver to pay less attention. something we'll watch very

carefully. >> yeah. terrifying prospect for parents, absolutely. no question about that. thank you, scott. here's something fun for you. the last time the white house saw a performance this year may be actually never. >> you don't think bill clinton did this. president obama may have used some polls to bring broadway's hottest ticket to washington yesterday. >> all right, drop the beat. ♪ >> i kind of want to hear the rest of that. >> do you know how hard that is? >> the cast of the hit show "hamilton" took their talts and the president helped hamilton creator put down a freestyle rap as you see using those buzz words he's holding in his hands making headlines these days. followed the intimate stage

performance inside for the first lady and first staffers. >> the first family has seen, one of the hottest ticket to get in new york city on broadway. >> coming to san francisco march of next year. i did look at tickets. >> probably sold out. >> doesn't matter, because i can't afford the tickets at all. >> how much are they going for? >> i think it was 800 bucks. >> was it really? >> looking that cheap seats. don't quote me on that. i may be wrong or maybe i checked a very popular ticket. >> do some bargain hunting. >> check it out. they're coming to town and likely expand. >> or apply to be an usher. >> that's the in right there. >> that's a great idea. >> i also just want to hear the president say drop a beat, again, one more time. that's worth the price of admission right there. what have we got? >> it is cold out there as you head out the door and ash we get a live look now at the bay bridge. beautiful start to the day. clear skies. we'll start to see some clouds moving in with the next couple of hours. but don't let that shake you. we will have some sunshine later on today. we're looking now at

temperatures and all of our microclimates. it is chilly and cooler than we had recently. it's 39 degrees in the north bay. and san francisco now checking in at 48 degrees. let's check in on the south bay now. it is 43 degrees in santa theresa and morgan hill and in san martin it is 42 degrees. now, so much rain over the weekend and it was just streaming into the bay area and it didn't just disappear. it actually shifted farther to the north. they are getting that rain still in seattle and portland. and that is where the rain will stay for the week. so, we'll continue on with some dry weather. looking today at san francisco. hour by hour we're up to 58 degrees at 11:00 and then lunchtime temperature at 58 degrees. and then heading into the day, some low 60s in the city with a light wind and a look at all the microclimates for the next three days. heading into tomorrow and the south bay, we continue to see those temperatures warming up. we're in the mid-70s there. upper 70s for thursday. it is going to feel like spring

all across the bay area, at least for a little while. spring doesn't officially begin until saturday night and then we'll have highs in the 70s else where as we go to the north bay and the east bay will also be in the low 70s and some upper 60s, as well. we won't have any more rain in this forecast until sunday. that is when the next weather system will move in to bring us some showers late sunday night and also to start next week. so, we will have some rain off and on from sunday night into early monday. and then it rolls on out of here as we feel cooler temperatures after that. but we are in for some warm weather for the next few days starting out the weekend. we'll be at 69 degrees in the peninsula on friday and on saturday beautiful day, some 60s and 70s and then we'll bring it back down a few degrees because of that chance of rain and more cloud cover heading into late night. i'll keep you up to date on that. let's get update on the morning commute now, here's mike. >> you know, kari, nothing super

exciting on the commute. i do want to give a disclaimer. i don't know where i saw the ticket prices. i can't find those prices. don't quote me on that. still check as hamilton comes into town for march 17. i love live theater. don't want to make any enemies. there is the build southbound 101 through san rafael. pretty typical here. no surprises. as we look at your map, no real surprises south of there. the san mateo bridge thats like a steady build westbound and an easy flow of traffic and high rise. a clear view and steady cameras. not a lot of wind. there is a great deal. north bay that we showed you and the map shows you no surprises for the upper east shore or towards the bay bridge toll mrauz waw the metering lights on there. the closure is rheem right off of moraga road and the area being closed. or at least that stretch. the stretch by the movie theater and the gym and not affecting folks from 24 over towards st. mary's college. it will affect you through town. south bay through san jose

little slowing for north 101. a little build around capital expressway. this being a tuesday we expect a bigger volume of traffic but the first tuesday after that time change folks are still getting adjusted. it is darker when you leave the house. of course, it's dark right now. back to you. >> thank you very much, mike. there are hamilton tickets for sale. they are like $1,000 in new york. you're not all wrong. coming up, some scary moments for the giants as one of their newest pitchers is hit in the head by a line drive. an update on the health of johnny cueto. former alaska governor sarahpalo

how this chaotic scene finally came to an end. not quite as chaotic, but certainly a busy day in politics as five states head to the polls and what we are calling separation tuesday.

(singing) i just can't wait to meet you, sweet child you're

on the way, i'm filled with expectation, and you're growing everyday... (instrumental) good morning on a surprisingly chilly tuesday morning. i'm sam brock. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. here's kari. >> much warmer this afternoon, but it is cold out there to

start. i mean, take a look at these temperatures. it's 39 degrees in the north bay. while we have some mid-40s else where. so, some long sleeves a definite necessity for the kids as you get them ready and head out the door. look at the highs today. it will feel very nice in the south bay and peninsula. we're up to 67 degrees. in san francisco today, 63 can grees. now, it gets even warmer over the next few days and we're talking some upper 70s. i'll show you that coming up in a few minutes. let's get an update on what is happening at the san mateo bridge with mike. >> a lot more traffic flowing from the haywar side to the peninsula. no incidents on this bridge, though. so it's just the morning commute. we'll look at the bay bridge toll plaza which also has the morning commute and look at the left approach over the last couple of minutes and we've seen traffic get a little lighter and fastrak shows the big slowing coming off of 880 blending in with this mix and stilling a slower drive. we typically see a break between

bout 6:15 and 6:30. but this morning we did. it's just kicking in now throughout the area. starting back at capital expressway. back to you. >> people better head out the door or leave a little later. new this morning -- a wild chase through the east bay ends with officers using a stun gun on a suspect. chp said it started just before 9:00 last night on i-80 when officers tried to pull over the suspect. pursuit led officers through oakland and the chase at times stopping 100 miles per hour. it eventually ended on 880 near the coliseum about a half hour later. officers were able to detain that suspect after deploying his stun gun. the suspect's name has not been released and luckily nobody was hurt. decision 2016 and right when you're wondering if this process will ever end. right now voters in five different states headed to the polls in what could prove to be

an important fundamentally and five candidates for the nomination. >> live team coverage for the race for the white house. kris sanchez tracking the democratic side of the aisle. tracie potts live in washington, d.c. tracie, this could be the end of the road for john kasich and marco rubio. >> especially rubio, laura, because if he doesn't win florida, he's so far behind in the delegate count it is going to be difficult for him to remain viable. late last night he's counting on miami. miami-dade county. his home base to win florida for him. lots of cuban and lots of panic voters down there. but is it enough to over come a 21-point lead by donald trump. trump so confident in florida that he canceled an event and went to ohio to campaign against john kasich who is actually not losing his home state right now. the polls show him up by a few points. donald trump trying to cut into that by portraying kasich as an absentee governor. and then there's ted cruz who

may not win a state today, but even if he does well and takes a portion of those delegates and north carolina, illinois and/or missouri, he could remain competitive with donald trump. the keys here are going to be ohio and florida. winner take all. trump wins both. he puts a lot of mileage betweenself and the rest of the republicans. now, for the democrats, kris sanchez has this morning's news on what the democrats are doing today and just how important those winner take all states are. kris? >> thank you very much, tracie. both feeling hopeful today. clinton is ahead in the polling in three states. ohio is the closest or rather illinois is the one that is the closest there. former secretary of state hillary clinton is ahead by six points. in ohio, clinton leads by 20 points and in florida she's ahead by 27 points and bernie sanders not as far behind as he was last tuesday and that is in large part because of a win in michigan a week ago today.

now, last night msnbc held separate town hall meetings with the democratic hopefuls and rather than focus on each other, clinton and sanders took aim at the republican frontrunner donald trump. >> it is very difficult dealing with some guy who lies all the time and what i think senator rubio and many of us feel is this is a guy who is insighting violence. but let's get beyond mr. trump. >> exactly. >> to see that someone who is vying to be president of the united states is using divisiveness is stoking fear, is pointing fingers, scapegoating against all kinds of people, i think is so dangerous and, yes, it's wrong. it's offensive. it's also dangerous. >> now, the nbc news political editor is calling today separation tuesday as those frontrunners clinton and trump aim to pull far enough ahead that they could focus on the general election and instead of on all these primaries which is not only a distraction for them

getting their messages out, but also they cost a lot of money. >> all turning in a lot of dollars. on that note, they come to the bay area for a lot of dollars, as well. a homecoming of sorts for chelsea clinton next week. the stanford grad back in the bay area fund-raising for her mother. >> the 36-year-old clinton is headlining two fund-raisers next monday. the first one in palo lto hosted by the ceo of elizabeth holm. the second fund-raiser is in san francisco. hillary clinton will also be on the peninsula for fund-raisers next wednesday. happening right now on a cold morning, restoring the heat one customer at a time. pg&e crews have spent much of the last 24 hours going door to door turning the gas back on for hundreds of customers. the gas line ruptured over the weekend because of a sinkhole. >> "today in the bay" bob redell live near rheem boulevard. are crews making progress? when will they head back out

there. >> probably at sun up. the intersection here at center and rheem still shut down because of that sinkhole. you can see the sinkhole sticking out and probably going to be this way for another several days. probably at least a week. as far as gas service is concerned 2,500 customers with p pg &e were without gas. yesterday afternoon they sent out of a team of 200 workers go door to door to relight the pilot lights and they were able to restore gas to around 2,000 customers. the other customers they weren't able to reach out to. left red tags on their door handles saying call this number and telling us around 8:00 and they'll send about 100 more people out there to go back in those neighborhoods to restore gas to those remaining 500 customers. >> we need to have our customers be home so that we can come home and relight the pilot lights for them. the safety of our customers is

our highest priority. we want to make sure our trained gas service technicians go in and do that for them. >> how long should that take? >> 10, 15 minutes. >> it is believed the storms caused a sinkhole. this was sunday evening. the city of morago might have believed there was a storm drain underneath and the rushing water then caused that intersection section. part of the intersection to cave inning a light pole to go straight down and pierce a four inch gas line. electricity has also been out in this intersection for a handful of businesses but pg and e restored that with a generator. >> bob, thank you. san francisco police right now investigating a shooting in the city's outer mdistrict. we are getting very limited information as of now, but what we do know is that investigators were on scene all night and the coroner was also called out. we're going to bring more details on that shooting as soon

as we get them into our newsroom. we're also getting more details this morning on a stabbing near downtown san jose. it involved members of one family and it was wintnessed by the suspect's brother. that stabbing occurred yesterday evening on a home on palm street just blocks away from 280 and highway. the suspect stabbed his mother before turning the knife on himself. the mother is in critical condition this morning and the suspect. the investigators are still trying to figure out what led to all that violence. a man accused of beating a bay area nurse to death outside a fairfield mall says he's not guilty. william king entered his plea in court yesterday. king beat the victim with a bat outside of solona town center mall last month. he was trying to steal her purse. at 6:38 right now. the three former san jose state students charged with battery against the black roommate avoid jail, but they're on probation. the three white students face two years of probation and

fines. initially they also face hate crime charges for putting a bike lock around their roommate's neck. the victim has filed a separate $5 million civil suit against the students and also against san jose state university. new this morning, we're still seeing the impact from this weekend's powerful storms. a mudslide in marin county will keep this road closed for weeks. happening between fairfax and the road initially was supposed to be back open yesterday but now the crews say the damage is too extensive to open it back up any time soon. a tale of a different week after all that wet weather, we see very dry conditions. >> let's check in with kari. cold start to our morning. >> definitely bundle up and grab a hot cup of coffee before you head out. 45 degrees in oakland and 46 in san carlos and we do have upper 30s in parts of the north bay. but then it warms up today and we will have a lot of sunshine and making it into the mid to upper 60s.

as you head out for the bus stop. as we take a live look right now. blurry shot of the south bay, but you can tell that sun is rising and it will be a beautiful start to the day. seven-day forecast coming up at the bottom of the screen. you'll be able tasee how we warm over the next few days and now as you head out, look at this. north bay is at 39 degrees. it is 48 degrees in san francisco and the east bay at 42 degrees and let's drop in on the east bay. we do have some 30s there in pleasanton and 39 degrees there and in dublin and in hayward. it's 41 degrees and 46 in the peninsula. we are in for some cooler weather now that the rain has shifted farther to the north. then completely disappear. we just saw that storm track lift farther to the north and now over seattle and portland and it will stay there as we know through the week now. all that rain we had over the weekend brought copious amounts of snow to the sierra. in some spots like sugar bowl, they had five feet of snow and that brought the statewide average up to 92%.

we're doing the best in the northern sierra. where that snow was just streaming in the weekend. and we're at 102%. sierra still has some work to do, but compare that to last year at this time. it was just at 16%. unfortunately, there is no more snow in the forecast this week for them. and our temperatures will be warming up, too. we're up to 77 degrees in the south bay on thursday. in the peninsula, some low 70s there. upper 60s on friday. we'll see our temperatures coming down just a few degrees by the end of the week, but over all, a lot of sunshine and dry weather over the next few days. so, the futurecast shows nothing going on until late sunday night and to start out next week. we'll still have some scattered showers moving in. and then temperatures dropping for the beginning of next week. so, a look at the weekend forecast as you make plans. i know it's only tuesday. but we're looking ahead to the weekend. we'll be in the upper 60s in the peninsula. 71 degrees on saturday. and then sunday is when that chance of rain returns.
