nice temperatures in the 50s, clear skies or nearly clear skies in the south bay peninsula at about 54 degrees and east bay at about 55, so it's a nice trend across the board in the 50s. but we are expected to warm up, but not hot. it's going to be nice. it's going to be a high of about 73 degrees in san jose. san francisco staying in those low 60s. yesterday, we were at about 70 degrees in san jose, a little bit warmer in san francisco, so you're going to feel a nice little temperature drop. it's going to be a gray day to enjoy outdoors, maybe take your puppy out for a walk or run. i know i like to take my puppy out. but we're going to take rain chances and your seven-day in just a minute. >> thank you. well, it was game night at cal. the bears beat the oregon ducks in a thriller but while it may have been a rowdy crowd at the stadium, just outside, along greek row, there was a much more subdued tone. sororities and fraternities voluntarily suspended their parties. this all comes after a recent spike in sexual assault reports.

just last weekend, two female students were allegedly sexually assaulted at an off campus party. now, the decision to suspend all greek parties was announced on facebook. students we spoke with say they support the move. >> people just dance all night to the, you know, to the 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning and really, it's really noisy. >> uc berkeley police department says there were 22 rape cases reported on campus last year but none were linked to any fraternity or sororities parties on campus. police say they still applaud the voluntary shutdown. how often are sexual assaults reported at uc berkeley? the latest numbers came out just this month and show that last year, 17 rapes were reported. 13 happened on campus, four off campus. those figures are down from the year before, but overall, the number of reported sexual offenses has nearly doubled

since 2012. the report includes incidents both on and near campus. and there's a new clue in a home invasion robbery on the peninsula this week. police release third-degree sketch la -- released this sketch last night. the scarf that was covering his face possibly has the letter "d" on it in pink. hillsboro police say he and two other men came in through an open garage wednesday night. one man held the female homeowner at gunpoint while the two other men stole jewelry and other items. police say they have several leads in the case but so far no arrests. if you have any information, you're asked to call the hillsboro police department. police reforms in san francisco have hit a roadblock. talks have broken down. the issue is whether or not officers can shoot at moving cars. the police officers association and police commissioners met at city hall yesterday to try to find common ground on the issue. negotiations for a new use of force policy have been going on

since july. the u.s. department of justice is recommending san francisco police adopt a policy that does not allow officers to shoot at cars. but again, for months, the officers association has pushed back, saying its officers should not be restricted. now, police commissioner says the issue is now going to a vote. >> we're moving forward with this policy, and it does have a no shooting at cars policy. if this ends up in arbitration, i think that we've done our best. >> once the police commission votes, it's then up to the police officers association to decide if it will actually challenge the policy. several families are still cleaning up and drying out after a water main break in oakland. yesterday, a cast iron pipe cracked, causing a 16 inch water main to buckle. parts of montana street in oakland collapsed, streaming water on to a 580 onramp and even filling basements in the city's diamond district.

some in the neighborhood told us this is actually the third time in the past five years that east bay mud crews have needed to fix bursting pipes. >> wasn't fixed correctly, you know, that's what makes us angry. >> utility spokes person told us with an aging infrastructure dating back to the gold rush, crews have had to prioritize projects and that means they often end up patching up pipes instead of tail replacing them. an oakland police officer faced a judge yesterday after being charged in a sex abuse scandal involving a minor. loverde claims he never met j z jasmine. she claims officers used her for sex. the search is on for a fake police officer who tried to lure a female student into his car.

it happened in cupertino on wednesday. police released a sketch of the suspect last night. they say he approached the woman in a parking lot, saying he was an undercover officer and threatened to give her a ticket if he didn't get in his car. thankfully, the woman ran away. here's a description of the suspect. he's a middle eastern man in his 20s, his hair is wavy on top and shaved on the side and he drives a black bmw. according to experts, yesterday's major cyber attack could be just the warm-up to something even bigger. your favorite websites and apps were impossible to access, netflix, twitter, and etsy just to name a few. "today in the bay" has more. >> millions of us woke up, logged on, opened an app and just waited. >> you don't really know what's going on and everyone was confused. >> twitter wasn't working so i wasn't sure if my phone was working or not. >> sites were slowed to a crawl thanks to a denial of service

attack, which clogged sites just like adding thousands or millions of cars to an already crowded freeway. >> i'm worried if it can go down this easily, you know, any kind of vital functions just are at risk of not working. >> reporter: some of the infected code was sent through internet connected devices. >> all of these little devices that people have in their homes, everything from baby monitors to connected televisions, thoelz all talk to the internet. those can all be infected and turned into bots, which are computers that are use bid criminals to attack other criminals. >> reporter: this shows where the impact was felt most. some experts worry this could be a warm-up for hackers who have bigger targets like infrastructure and power grids. >> this is a very big problem, and this could be a prelude to something bigger, but maybe it's not. the idea is that i think there's people out there that are basically saying, look, we can make this happen when we want to. >> reporter: ian cole, nbc bay area news. >> much more ahead on "today in

the bay." coming up, a change in tactics for donald trump and hillary clinton. what the two presidential hopefuls are doing. we'll hear from both of them next. also a major change for bay bridge drivers. what to expect starting today.

>> reporter: today was the first day of trump's plan to hold multiple rallies per day in the election's final stretch. he told supporters that he won the debate wednesday night and assured them he'll win the election. >> we're living in a rigged system, and believe me, they're a big part of the rigging, those people. believe me. they don't tell the truth. we will do such a great job. we have to get everybody together. we have to get out and vote. >> reporter: laura malperd, nbc bay area news. >> coming up, only on nbc, a look at what's being done to protect california condors at the oakland zoo. >> cooler temperatures ahead of your forecast, but we have a change coming. when will it arrive? and we're talking rain. i'll have all the details coming up in your full forecast.

saving procedure aimed at preserving an engaged bird population. the oakland zoo has been treating three california condors suffering from lead poisoning. "today in the bay" got an exclusive look at the birds and the zoo's efforts to save them. >> reporter: they have a nine and a half foot wingspan, just giant birds. >> reporter: you're looking at an endangered bird that once dominated the california skies. >> to see one fly over, this is like watching a 747 fly over. these birds are huge. >> reporter: but these three california condors are suffering from lead poisoning. biologists captured the sick birds in big sur earlier this month and brought them to the oakland zoo for life saving treatment. >> one or two deaths may not sound like a lot, but when you have a population of only 200 in the wild, it's a big deal. >> reporter: veterinarian andrea good night and her team have been injecting the condors with a chemical that extracts the

lead. >> it grabs on to that lead and pulls it out of the body. >> reporter: one of the birds regurgitated these pieces of toxic metal just the other day. the scavenger birds likely ingested bullet fragments. >> animals that have been shot are out in the wild. these birds eat them and ingest the lead that way. >> reporter: the intensive treatment includes injections, blood work, and x-rays. every step critical to helping the birds purge the lead before it does irreversible damage to their digestive and nervous systems. >> basically, the bird starves to death or it starts having seizures. >> reporter: after two weeks in oakland, good night says the birds are looking much stronger. if the birds' lab work comes back relatively lead-free, they'll be returned to the wild next week. if not, they'll undergo another round of treatment here starting saturday. at the oakland zoo, i'm jodi

at 48, santa cruz at 49, so we are going to be warming up into the 70s, but over the next couple hours, we are going to see a different change in the forecast. temperatures will be climbing into the 70s. half moon bay, 63, san francisco, 64 degrees and now let's go ahead and talk about that rain. now, right now, hour by hour forecast, it's not showing much, not showing a lot of activity. we're seeing a little bit of that cloud cover off to the north bay and over the next couple of hours, we're not going to see a big change in the forecast. it looks like that cooling weekend and those clouds begin to roll in by sunday as early as sunday morning, we could be seeing a few rain, maybe slight drizzle along the north bay area, but the biggest change is probably going to come in on monday when those early morning commuters could be seeing slick roads out there in the north bay for the most part, it's going to stick to the rain as far as the north bay right now, the models are showing that rain, not making a big entrance, at least not sunday night. we are going to see a shift in

that as we head into later part of the week. but if you are going to be enjoying your outdoors today and enjoying those cooler temperatures, here's a great free event. i actually have to attend this myself, war fest from 11:00 to 5:00, it is a free event. should be at about 65 degrees and of course for those football fans, i'm a football fan myself, the buccaneers versus the 49ers, here's a look ahead at your forecast as you get ready for tomorrow's big game. kickoff is at 1:05 and it's going to be pretty nice in the 60s and 70s with partly cloudy skies. now, your microclimates for today are going to be slightly cooler, 70, 73 degrees in san jose, san francisco staying in those 60s for the most part and in the north bay, also in the 70s. here's a look ahead at your fiducia future cast. by monday, early morning commuters could start to get some of that rain at about 10:00, not much rain, model still not showing very much until tuesday. we're going to see a second

storm system approach by thursday. and that's when we could be seeing the most rainfall cover through the bay area, but it's not showing a lot in terms of rain totals as of now. for sunday, we're not really expecting to see not even a tenth of an inch. by thursday, the rain models are showing just over -- maybe 1/2 inch along san francisco, maybe even 1 inch along the north bay area. seven day forecast, 64 degrees. for today, we are expecting to hit the 60s in san francisco and inland climbing into the 70s. i'll send things back to you. >> all right. thank you. well, we have much more on "today in the bay." coming up, she has the authority to write tickets but the compassion not to. >> it's not in the job description, no, but it's just in the description of being a human being. >> how one officer's decision has changed the life of a world war ii vet. it's part of our bay area proud series.

well, you may have heard that it takes a village to raise a child, but recently, we learned it takes a city to fix a veteran's home. that city is petaluma and it's where big businesses, small businesses, nonprofits and even city government all work together to help one of their own. "today in the bay's" garvin thomas has this morning's bay area proud. >> reporter: joe garcia says growing up in petaluma, his sister called him an instigator. but there is something that joe instigated recently that reflects well on him and his entire community. as petaluma's code enforcement officer, joe garcia has the authority to write tickets when he sees a problem. >> junk properties, trash and debris in the front yard. >> reporter: but it turns outs what joe also possesses is the compassion not to. >> it's going to be the house on the left here.

>> reporter: which is exactly why this story has such a happy ending. >> not in the job description, no, but it's just -- it's in the description of being a human being. >> reporter: it all started with a complaint. two years ago, about a yard overgrown with weeds. >> have you ever had to replace the back fence? >> reporter: the yard belongs to al pericou, an 89-year-old world war ii veteran. >> little different there. >> reporter: joe had to return multiple times as al tried and failed to get a handle on the situation. what's more, joe discovered, the inside of the house was not much better. >> been a while since he called you. >> reporter: still, instead of handing al a ticket, joe decided to lend him a hand. >> we work with joe all the time, and he's -- he has the biggest heart in the world. >> reporter: jane hamilton is executive director to the rebuilding together, a nonprofit that helps low income people just like al with home repairs. >> so, it says rebuild two

bathroom floors, install shower in one. >> reporter: when joe told jane al's story, she was in. just one problem. >> as soon as we realized how serious the problem was, we went, okay, how are we going to pay for all this? >> reporter: well, with just a single call to home depot, $10,000 and a team of volunteers were dispatched. but there were dozens of others too, contractors, firefighters, police officers, all chipping in. if it was going to take a village to fix up al's place, well, the city of petaluma seemed up to the task. >> it makes me proud to be here. just such a great, great network of people. >> boy, what a difference since this morning, huh? >> reporter: in the end, as much as al appreciated all the work on the house, he seems to be loving the company even more. and while he once wanted to curse whichever neighbor complained about his home in the first place, he'd have a different message today.

>> if i found out who did it, i'd go over and shake his head, congratulate you for turning me in for having too many weeds growing because i never would have had this done if it wasn't for you. >> reporter: rebuilding together says that while some aspects of al's story were unique, the scope of the job they did, fixings up his house, is pretty typical of the work they do. >> and there's lots more ahead of "today in the bay." coming up, pull out your lawn and get cash. the state's new push to get people to switch to a drought friendly landscape plus after a year of fighting and abuse, accusations between guards and inmates, there's a show of peace at a barbecue. we'll explain coming up. denny's knows the holidays should be shared with friends and family. except denny's all-new holiday pancakes. you won't want to share those with anybody. denny's new fluffier, tastier, better pancakes now in holiday flavors.

you're taking a live look now at san francisco from pier 7. looks like some clouds but we're

having some cool temperatures there, right? >> yeah, it's some nice lingering low clouds. right now, the golden gate also looking beautiful, almost picture perfect, i would say. i'm new to the area so everything looks beautiful for me, especially when there's anything weather related. these microclimates are pretty, you know, they got it going on but we are expecting to see some changes, cooler temperatures for today, compared to what we enjoyed yesterday. right now, 57 degrees in san francisco. san jose also looking a little hazy out there, some low clouds also hanging around. 54 degrees in today's highs. well, we're expecting about 73 in clolos gatos, half moon bay the 60s for the most part. low 60s, low 70s across the board but we are tracking rain chances as we head into sunday. more along, i'll let you know when, coming up in just a bit. how much rain and where are we going to get rain. >> you're keeping us in suspense here. thanks. well, it was game night at cal. the bears beat the oregon ducks

in a thriller. but while it may have been rowdy at the stadium, just outside, along greek row, there was a much more subdued tone. that's because sororities and fraternities voluntarily suspended their parties. now, this all comes after a recent spike in sexual assault reports. just last weekend, two female students were allegedly sexually assaulted at an off campus party. the decision to suspend all greek parties was announced on facebook. students we spoke with say they support the move. >> people just dance all night to the, you know, to 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning, and it really -- it's really noisy. >> uc berkeley police department says there were 22 rape cases reported on campus last year, but none were linked no any fraternity or sorority parties on campus. police still say they applaud the voluntary shutdown. so, how often are sexual assaults reported at uc

berkeley? well, our nbc bay area investigative unit obtained the records. the latest numbers came out this month and showed last year, 17 rapes were reported, 13 happened on campus, 4 off campus. overall, the number of reported sexual offenses has nearly doubled since 2012. the report includes incidents on and near campus. a new clue in a home invasion robbery now on the peninsula this week. police released this sketch last night. the suspect is believed to be 5'10" in his early 20s. he was wear ago scarf that covered his face. hillsboro police say he and two other men were wearing hoodies. one man held the female homeowner at gunpoint while the other two men stole jewelry and other items. police say they have several leads in the case but so far no arrests. if you have any information, you're asked to call the

hillsboro police department. and police reforms in san francisco have hit a roadblock. after months of negotiations, talks have broken down. so, what's the issue? whether or not officers can shoot at moving cars. the police officers association and police commissioners met at city hall yesterday to try and find common ground on the issue. negotiations for a new use of force policy have actually been going on since july. the u.s. department of justice is recommending that san francisco police adopt a policy that does not allow officers to shoot at cars. but for months, the officers association has pushed back, saying its officers should not be restricted. police commissioner says the issue is now going to a vote. >> we're moving forward with this policy. and it does have a no shooting at cars policy. if this ends up in arbitration, i think that we've done our best. >> once the police commission votes, it's up to the police

officers association to decide if it will actually challenge the policy. both sides coming together to break bread. it was a rare sight at the elmwood jail in milpitas. guards were barbecuing for their inmates. "today in the bay" has a story you'll only see on nbc bay area. >> reporter: it's not often inmates are treated to tritip and barbecue chicken. today is one of those days at the elmwood jail. >> we're stoked. my partner here were helping cook and we were drooling, going, oh, can't wait. we're excited. >> thank you. >> reporter: barbecue is a thank you from deputies to inmates in the industry program at elmwood. the inmates built these obstacles for a charity run benefitting sick children. >> barbecue for them, give them some good food. >> reporter: the small party was enough for the sheriff herself to stop by. >> thank you so much for everything. >> reporter: relations between guards and inmates have been

strained, even before the beating death of inmate michael tyree in august of last year. three guards are facing murder charges in that case. inmates say it seems things are turning around. >> things have changed over the year. and a lot of it's really good. >> i don't see anymore controversy like in the past, cops -- they're trying to be more understanding. >> we've been working on it for a long time and so they said a couple of years, i think that's great. our reforms have been in place for a long time, even before we had the death in the jail. >> reporter: the usual cheese sandwiches gave way to a tastier lunch as two sides on opposite ends found a common cause. nbc bay area news. >> and in southern california, firefighters are continuing to battle a blaze at a recycling plant and they did so well into the night. the plant, which also stores wooden pallets is located in ontario just east of downtown l.a. the fire was reported around

4:30 yesterday afternoon but as you can see, flames and huge plumes of smoke were still billowing late last night. the fire has been contained but it's expected to burn for some time because of the difficulty in extinguishing the large bundles of cardboard that fueled the blaze. and it turns out the california bullet trains won't be as big as we first thought. animation shows what the proposed system could look like, but the l.a. times reports the high speed rail authority wants shorter trains and smaller platforms instead of the original 20-car trains. the system will only have ten. the authorities say the change won't impact the san jose to l.a. route, but the san jose to san francisco route could see some crowding on board. the project is still about a decade away from being completed. millions of dollars are going unclaimed here in this state. california is making $22 million in rebates available to encourage californians to pull

out their water loving lawns, but it appears homeowners are reluctant to replace their grass with drought friendly plants. now is the time. >> the best time to change your yard is when the sun isn't going to really beat the new plants down and require them to use a lot of water. and so the fall and spring are the best times to change your yard. >> some counties offer their own rebate programs so the state rebates won't apply everywhere but the program will continue until the state fundsing rubs out. mark tessier levine comes from the field of biomedical research. he became stanford's 11th president, and was awarded the robe. the dress was heavy on academics and research goals but also called for a renewed culture of

kevin durant continues to look good in his new uniform, warriors win 107-96. we have player reactions from oracle arena. >> reporter: people weren't sure how bringing kevin durant to the warriors would affect the other three all stars on the team but after the warriors finished preseason 6-1, the feeling in the locker room was that it was pretty seamless. >> just doing my job, just trying to have a robot mindset every single day, stick to what i do and not worry about the type of game we're playing, who we're playing. i got to just do my job and that's how i'm looking at it. that's how it gets me through every day. >> reporter: with kevin durant's scoring prowess, other guy's numbers might go down. sean livingston said, you can't care about that. guys do get paid off their numbers but we could all be in worse places than here with the

warriors competing for a championship. at oracle arena, nbc bay area. >> and it was a warm-up before the big show in half moon bay. yesterday was the opening ceremony for the titans of mavericks surf competition. the annual event draws some of the best big wave sur ferz from around the world and this year, for the first time ever, women are being allowed to compete. contest window will officially open november 1. after that, organizers wait for the perfect conditions and then summon the 24 bold surfers qualified to compete. and much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, bike thieves, beware. the new smelly invitation thent promises to stop them in their tracks. >> beautiful sunrise in palo alto. we're talking about cooler temperatures and tracking rain. have more details coming up in just a bit.

nice kickoff to our weekend. we're enjoying fairly clear skies. we're still seeing low clouds in san francisco, temperatures right now in the 50s, that nice 57 degrees for both san francisco and san jose. as well as about 54 degrees. now, today's trend is going to be slightly cooler temperatures than what we've been experiencing over the past couple of days. we're talking 60s and 70s for the most part, across the bay area, and of course we are tracking some rain chances but i'll have that in just a minute. now right now, for today, we are going to climb into those 70s in palo alto, half moon bay and san francisco staying along those 60s, los gatos and san jose will remain into the lower 70s. it's going to be a nice calm day across the bay, not just today but also as we head into sunday, a really nice weekend to enjoy outdoors so if you don't have any plans to be outdoors, you may want to take advantage of that before the rain comes.

palo alto in the 50s, half moon bay in the 40s and here's a look at the radar. not a lot of activity right now, just a few low clouds lingering in the forecast for the north bay but over the next couple hours, we're going to start seeing a change as early as maybe sunday morning along the north bay, there could be seeing some drizzle but mainly by monday, along the north bay, those early morning commuters heading to work could be seeing a possibility of some light rain along the roads, so as always, please make sure to take extra precaution. we are going to be cooling into sunday, and by monday, those rain chances begin to move south just a bit but our greatest rain chance is going to come into play later in the week as we are track ago second system in the forecast. right now, the majority of the rain is going to be in the north bay, i have to make my way out there. it is completely free for family and friends, from about 11:00 a.m. to 5:00. it's going to be a nice cool breezy day for that. and microclimates today, we're going to stay in those 70s,

partly cloudy skies, should be clearing outs by the mid afternoon and half moon bay, 60s and marina also staying in the 60s. in the north bay, claim up into the mid 7 0z, 74 degrees oakland, 69 and now also in the 70s. let's go ahead and look ahead at that future cast. i know we've been talking about those rain chances. by monday, we're going to start seeing that cloud cover in the forecast, you see the majority of that rainfall model showing right now is sticking off to the north. now, fast forward to monday at about 10:00, we're not seeing a lot of activity. like i said, early morning commuters on monday, that's going to be your best bet. fast forward to tuesday, that majority of that rainfall does still stick along in the northern bay as we look ahead, though, into that second system that comes in by thursday, that's when the entire bay area could be seeing a decent amount of rainfall but not a lot, not compared to what we saw a couple days ago or a couple weeks when we saw the majority of that

rainfall. we are going to see a shift by tuesday, still staying to less than half an inch, maybe half an inch along the bay and maybe about an inch along the north baby thursday when that second system does come in. in the early morning hours, maybe even late afternoon, we should be clearing out. but we could see it still -- see the possibility of some rain on wednesday. for the most part, partly cloudy skies. as we head into sunday's forecast, those temperatures are going to stay in the 60s for san francisco, we're not going to see a big change in the temperatures. the biggest change is going to start being that increase in the cloud cover and on monday, like i said, if you live out in the north bay, that's when you could be seeing the possibility as of now the models are showing slight rain chances as we head into tuesday. wednesday, i'm not going to rule out the possibility of some rainfall, a second storm system heading into thursday is when we could see the greatest possibility for some rainfall. now, inland, the temperatures will be in the 70s through the remainder of the weekend ahead. staying nice and dry for the most part.
