i'm sam brk. ==is/4shot=and i'm krisanchez - u good monday morning. thank you very much for joining us. i'm sam brock. >> i'm kris sanchez. i'm in for laura garcia-cannon. we are in a micro weather climate alert as snow and hail is still hitting parts of the bay area. look at this video just into our newsroom. this is berkeley, and that's snow. early march and we're seeing snow in several places around the bay area. this is really strange weather for what is supposed to be close to spring. >> definitely. this cold front packed a punch. made for the thunderstorms we saw last night, chances for sleet and snow again on the

roads, even the lower elevation areas again. if you're just waking up, you'll notice we're seeing scattered showers across the bay area. in san francisco, still fairly cold, 43 degrees. north bay, 39 degrees. the east bay, 47 degrees. here's a live look at the doppler radar. we have plenty of action on the map. we will keep the chance for possible hail through the early afternoon. if you have not put your car underneath a patio cover or a garage, i would say do that now if you're awake, just in case. over the next couple of hours, we're still going to see the snow levels and a chance of seeing hail, of course, with some sleet at times. some areas that are already still seeing it. we'll keep a close eye on this. i'll have a closer look at what we're anticipating over the next couple of hours, and what we're expecting to warm up into. not much, i'll tell you that. let's turn things over to mike. >> snow, sleet, hail, that won't stop your e-mail. that's the new version.

in berkeley, we had more soupy conditions a few minutes ago. now it looks boring. the water was kicking up on the water behind these cars. looks like a smoke trail. wet roads around the bay. earlier crash, may have been a spinout by our camera, it cleared from the roadway. no problem s for the bay bridge toll plaza. dumbarton bridge got the warning from chp, use caution around the bay. so far, light traffic flow keeping things moving well. thank you. >> thank you very much. vianey was talking about sleet, snow and whatever wintery mix that is we're looking at now. that's a blast that could impact the commute. we're talking about snow in the south bay. >> you're probably thinking in tahoe, sure, but no, in the south bay. sharon katsuda is there live where folks are putting their

driving skills to the test. how is it looking this morning? >> morning kris and sam. on the way up, we had to be careful. slick roads on highway 17 and signs posted saying icy roads, reduce speeds. that's the concern, if it gets colder up here at the summit, which it probably will, they could turn into slick roads out there. the question is how long will the snow last at the higher elevations. yesterday you didn't have to travel very high up in places throughout the bay area including saratoga, the east bay. you could just go in your own backyard, see hail and sleet come down. thanks to viewers, we have some beautiful pictures of snow on mt. diablo with signs of spring in the foreground. you never know how to dress these days. you need to wear layers, bring an umbrella and the chp warned drivers last night along highway 280 south san francisco that hail was making for some dangerous conditions. accidents were happening there along the highway 280.

that was a big concern last night. back here live, if the temperature drops at the summit, we could see slick roads. be careful while you drive in your morning commute. reporting live, i'm sharon katsuda, "this week in baseball." >> we can't ma, today in the ba. >> we can't make it out if you're in the snow or rain. >> right now in the rain. >> so a mixture of things there. sharon reporting for us. you can always track the weather conditions for us. people are doing things with slow motion snowfall. click on the weather tab. you can look at our live dop le doppler radar. happening today, the nfl own es ers may get an idea about the

finance plan. the nfl is holding three days of meetings today in florida. one of the topics on the agenda is the proposed move to vegas for the raiders. adelson dropped out in january, and new reports suggested that cowboys owner jerry jones may be helping to land an investor. nfl owners need to approve that move. if you've driven any time in the last few months around the bay area, many drivers say the roads have seen better days a whole lot of potholes out there. the winter weather made this worse obviously. today political leaders are pushing for more state funding to fix it. in a few hours, jim bell and transportation officials will gather in san jose and they are pushing governor brown to pass a transportation package by april that would provide more money to fix the roads. the bad roads are costing you in the meantime. drivers are essentially paying

$1,000 a year in car maintenance costs from driving on poorly conditioned roads. a warning for drivers, a different kind of warning. starting this morning, caltrans is blocking off a busy roadway in livermore. it's going to be a headache now, but traffic relief will come in the end. 2 1/2 miles of state route 84 are being renovated causing that closure. crews will add two more lanes so drivers should expect detours for that closure which will be in effect for the next two months. no doubt it's the top story of the morning. we're keeping track of winter weather in march. vianey is in for kari. >> the radar showing a combination of showers and war we're starting to see sleet and snow near saratoga and mt. hamilton. we'll talk about us seeing some hail and when the rain will end coming up. a live look at the bay bridge. the incline. look how jammed up it is heading

over towards treasure island. i think i found the source of the problem. i may have it on camera when you come back with me. and more than just a violation of privacy, a cascade of compromising pictures shared on a facebook group of women service members in the navy. a look at how criminal investigators are now getting involved.

my name is jamir dixon and i'm a locate and mark fieldman for pg&e. most people in the community recognize the blue trucks as pg&e. my truck is something new... it's an 811 truck. when you call 811, i come out to your house and i mark out our gas lines and our electric lines to make sure that you don't hit them when you're digging. 811 is a free service. i'm passionate about it because every time i go on the street i think about my own kids. they're the reason that i want to protect our community and our environment, and if me driving a that truck means that somebody gets to go home safer, then i'll drive it every day of the week. together, we're building a better california.

. welcome back. coming up on 4:40 on your

monday. we're in a microclimate weather alert as we look at the san francisco skyline. fairly clear at the moment, but there is green activity on the radar. even reports of hail in san francisco in the last day. more on that coming up in two minutes. >> if you have pictures, show them, please. this morning, north korea is testing missiles once again. they fired off four missiles into the sea of japan. some landing as close as 200 miles from the japanese shore. the tests come as a reaction to joint military drills by the u.s. and south korea. the defense department says these missiles pose no threat to the united states, but many experts say it shows the growing tension. >> the marines rocked by a new scandal. an investigation is underway this morning after nude photographs of women service member were allegedly shared among marines on facebook. the naval criminal investigative service is looking into marines united, a private facebook

group. there's accusations that members posted photos of current and retired marines and other women in various stages of undress. there are more than 2,000 comments on that page along with the women's full names, ranks and duty stations. other pictures were said to be shared through a google drive leak. >> to treat fellow marines, fellow service members, people literally will doing anything to protect this country with such disrespect and disregard. their mothers would be fuming right now. >> those photos were uncovered by the war horse a nonprofit news organization run by a formfor veter veteran. a former california mayor is expected to be in court today. one-time stockton mayor anthony silva was arrested yesterday after returning from colombia. he faces felony corruption and money laundering charges in san

joaquin county. last week prosecutors announced a warrant for his arrest. coming up. light snow in the bay area also came with whiteout conditions. we' we'll have an update as skiers try to get back home.

. good morning, bay area. it's 4:45. we're under a microclimate weather alert. the radar is showing a lot of showers pushing through in the north bay. the santa cruz mountains, out near mount hamilton seeing a combination of rain and snow. i'll talk about the timeline for this and when we're expecting to dry out and welcome the sunshine in just a few minutes. mike? >> a look at the bay bridge, vianey with the rain. obviously wet roads, and a delay from this toll plaza across the westbound span. a crash in the middle of the roadway. i'll try to show you the latest coming up. to business and teng nch ne now. your next car parts could come from a 3-d printer. >> you know i can really arch an eyebrow. for that and the rest of the news before the bell, we turn to kate rogers from cnbc world

headquarters with more. >> wall street could start the week in the red as investors eye a near certain prospect that the federal reserve hikes interest rates when it meets next week. on friday, janet yellen all but confirmed an increase is coming. the markets will give several economic reports this week topped by big news on friday, the monthly jobs reports. stocks are coming off another positive week which saw the dow rise for the fourth week in a row. the dow ending up two points on friz. t friday. consumer reports will start considering cybersecurity when it reviews new products. they have teamed with several outside organizations for designing methods on studying how easily a product can be hacked and how customer data is secured. it will deliver how much information is collected by consumers. and ford has started testing 3-d printing of large-scale car

parts. this could open up a world of new opportunities for niche vehicle lines and upgrade options. for consumers, you could order customizable parts for your next car. 3-d printed parts also weigh less, that could increase fuel efficiency. back over to you. >> maybe save folks some money there. thank you very much. a live look at tahoe city, highway 89 from the caltrans camera, the snow is so bad that many other cameras are down. we got a report they shut down i-80 eastbound at colfax, zero visibility at donner pass. they don't know when it will reopen. >> they had reopened it yesterday. it was closed for hours over the weekend. now it's closed down again. we've been seeing all the sn snowfall. we just had our sierra snow pack

survey, maybe they should have waited. >> we saw 13 inches in lake tahoe in the past 72 hours. laura is out there. i know i saw her facebook live. >> i think she's making a snowman right now. >> or eating a snowcone or something. it is still snowing in saratoga now. areas near mt. hamilton are also seeing snow. if you're just now waking up, it's very chilly out there still. yes, we're still seeing slick road conditions in the 40s now. scattered showers are expected to remain in the forecast through the early midday, which means take some extra time right now, maybe make your way out. road conditions are not too pretty, whether you're headed to the mountains or not. 43 degrees in san francisco. 39 in the north bay. the highs for today in the mid 50s. look at this doppler radar. this is a loop over the past two hours. so we're starting to see some of those showers pushing off what that will do is leave behind a

drying trend. right now we're still seeing showers over santa cruz, san rafael, san francisco expecting to see a couple more showers. right now, it's a little overcast, so you may catch breaks in ramon. we're seeing a combination of snow in mt. hamilton and also saratoga. doppler radar showing that rain in the santa cruz area. we will have a chance of seeing more hail in the forecast through the early morning hours, which is why i was saying if you have not brought your car indoors or put it underneath that shed, you may wanted to do so know. don't get caught off guard. they extended that winter storm warning through 10:00 a.m., that's because they expect more know showers in the higher elevation areas. they did see 13 inches overnight in tahoe over the past 72 hours it was eventful for folks out there. hour-by-hour outlook, we see this snowstorm system by this evening and then by tuesday

we'll have a drying trend in the forecast. over the next couple of hours, here's what you can expect in san jose. by 7:00 a.m., we'll keep the rain in the forecast through the 10:00 a.m. hour, by lunch hour we should be drying out just in time for you to run out and get a quick bite. san francisco right now also looking pretty good in terms of the temps and the winter combination. it's a little too cold for me. it's not a good commute out there. are those some flashing lights i see at the golden gate bridge. i'm into the sure what that is. are those flashing lights? they're getting ready for the morning shift over there that little change they have over at the bay bridge -- the golden gate bridge where they move the center divide. nothing unusual. but it looks alarming from that one portion of the picture. looking to the rest of the bay, we have wet roads. vianey was talking about we have rain, wet roads, some ice, frost and snow. we have some sleet coming up later on perhaps.

we are have a traffic breakdown on the east shore freeway. an earlier crash cleared, but this crash on the bay bridge toll plaza is the problem now. we have those flashing lights. two sets of flashing lights on the span. there's a vehicle stuck in the middle of the roadway as you approach the tower. that's causing this backup up the whole incline. look at the bay bridge toll plaza, fastrak lanes are starting to slow down. this may indicated there's traffic on the other side heading towards the metering lights, there's no metering lights on yet. i'm tracking this closely. this would be a tough start for a rainy morning if that sticks around. hopefully the bridge crew will get that clear. the other option is b.a.r.t. that will take you under the bridge, safely over to san francisco without problems. golden gate ferry, we have a new service from tiburon, this is

the first time they expanded service there. back to you guys. >> mike, thank you very much. coming up, parts of yosemite still closed to the public after severe weather and now a deadly accident. when half dome vision could be open again. happening now, a marijuana festival in nevada is going forward despite a warning from the u.s. attorney's office. last fall nevada approved the recreational use of pot, but the festival this weekend was held on an indian reservation, and that is under federal authority. now many expect a fight between the states and the legalization of marijuana. and there's news that fewer americans are being audited by the u.s. last year a little more than 1 million people were audited. that figure has been dropping for six straight years. the irs is blaming budget cuts for the reason why. we're back in two minutes with more news. this is gus.

someday, gus will invent this thing and change the world. this is the thing that could change gus' world. and this is the doctor that could cure that thing so he can grow up to invent this thing. sutter health. proudly caring for northern california, birthplace of pioneers.

how about a look in the south bay this morning. you can see the water on the lens there. that's what you will deal with if you're headed out on 101 or anywhere around the south bay. half dome village in yosemite is expected to fully reopen this morning after a woman was hit and killed by a tr falling free yesterday. many parts of the park were shut down because of weather conditions. everything is expected to be back open by later today. several dogs and cats are missing this morning after a fire ripped through a hotel in vallejo. you have to see this video that was captured of that firefight. dozens of people are without a place to stay this morning.

16 units are now gone. everyone did make it out of that motel, but three people were treated for smoke inhalation. we're told some people may have lost their pets in that fire. the cause is under investigation. there are still a lot of questio questions this morning after an officer-involved shooting in hayward on saturday night and it comes after the suspect shot and injured two people. police say when they arrived, the suspect pointed a gun at one of them forcing police officers to open fire. the suspect is still in the hospital and sop is one of hi i alleged victims. three officers have been put on routine paid leave while this investigation continues. coming up, we'll keep close tabs on vianey arana, because we're in a microclimate weather alert. >> we are. that's because we're seeing sti slick loads, showers, but you'll also notice it's cold as we wake up this morning. seeing 30s and 40s.

we'll talk about when a warmup will happen and when we will drive out across the bay area. right now looking at the jam right there getting across the bay bridge into san francisco. made a little progress. i see the flashing lights have changed. we'll give you an update and you won't like what chp reports. plus look at this sight. snow falling in berkeley overnight. tracking strange weather patterns as vianey was just referring to that are hitting the bay area this morning.

at the marine mammal center, the environment is everything. we want to do our very best for each and every animal, and we want to operate a sustainable facility. and pg&e has been a partner helping us to achieve that. we've helped the marine mammal center go solar, install electric vehicle charging stations, and become more energy efficient. pg&e has allowed us to be the most sustainable organization we can be. any time you help a customer, it's a really good feeling. it's especially so when it's a customer that's doing such good and important work for the environment. together, we're building a better california.

a th 5:00 now, a winter blast continues. snow, rain, hail, this morning we are still seeing a bit of all of it. >> amazing video there. plus this rare weather could be impacting your morning commute as we look now at the backup at the bay bridge toll plaza. outside at the golden gate it could be slick driving in. >> the radar is showing a lot of green there as the rain, snow, sleet could come to an end today. we'll let the expect tell you about that. "today in the bay" continues now. thanks for joining us. i'm kris sanchez.

i'm in for laura garcia-cannon. i feel out of sorts. >> it's a monday. it's nuts. >> you have guys been looking at this, this is a treacherous last 24 hours in the bay area. eye-opening as well this is video just in from berkeley. these are snowflakes in berkeley. forecaster, vianey is in for kari hall. those are words we usually don't put in the same sentence. >> this cold front was on track to bring snow to lower elevation areas. we saw hail. you see that snow in berkeley. they got just under an inch of rain. but last night, as that cold front swept in, that rain quickly turned into a snowy mix. that's how we turned out with that crazy video. i know especially considering that we're in march already, guys. but look at this doppler radar now, it's showing a lot of activity, scattered showers expecting to push through the north bay, half
