i have been mentioning the red flag warnings since friday into saturday. it looks like all these highlighted areas. we are talking the north bay mountains, the east bay hills, the santa cruz mountains are expecting to see an increase in winds from the north-northeast. 15-20 plus miles per hour with gusty conditions at 30-40. i was looking ahead at the models. here is a quick look. we could see sustained winds of 30 plus in some areas, including orinda at 31 miles per hour. when talking the fire danger, we zone in on the mountain hillside areas because the dry winds are very dry. what that does is, you have seen over and over again, a very small brush fire can quickly spread. the overnight hours tonight and early monday morning, look at san francisco. 29 miles per hour with gusts up to 30 plus miles per hour.

napa, in the 30 range. livermore, 15, 20 plus in the south bay. the winds will carry over at least through monday. so, as we head into monday and tuesday, we will keep the red flag warnings in place. now, let's get a quick update on what was hurricane nate. it made two land falls yesterday. the last was in the mississippi area. right now, the last overnight hours it has weakened to a tropical storm. it has gone from a category 1 with the initial land fall hitting at 85 miles per hour. now, a tropical storm made with sustained max winds of 45 plus miles per hour. now, that is just hitting that mark of the tropical storm wind. still, fairly quickly north-northeast at 23 miles per hour. with this, the threat of storm surge is very much real. working in the favor of it is going to be the fast moving pace, not giving this storm a chance to drop a significant amount of rainfall.

the next seven days, we end with 80s. a cooling trend on the way as we head into thursday and friday, just in time for next weekend. a lot of sunshine, vickie. >> thank you. still ahead on "today in the bay" -- >> technology is just a tool. okay? it's what you do with technology that is the magic thing. a group of north bay parents turn an idea to help their children into a center that works for thousands of children. "today in the bay" area proud report is coming back after this short break.

and i'm an arborist with i'pg&e in the sierras. the drought in california has killed trees on a massive scale. any of those trees that fail into power lines could cause a wildfire or a power outage. public safety is the main goal of our program. that's why we're out removing these hundreds of thousands of hazard trees. having tools and technology gives us a huge edge to identify hazard trees. my hope is that the work we're performing allows that these forests can be sustained and enjoyed by the community in the future. together, we're building a better california.

and for some with disabilities, it has the power to transform technology has changed our lives and for some with disabilities, it that has power to transform them. all that's needed is the right person to make it happen. we are introduced to a man in this morning's bay area proud. >> dan phillips isn't someone who creates technology or someone with a disability.

what he is is someone with a knack for bringing those two groups together. there are many places in the bay area where almost daily, amazing technology is developed by brilliant people. for the past 17 years, though, there is one spot in san rafael where cutting edge has been turned into life changing. >> what do you think? >> reporter: dan phillips, has been at the heart of it the whole time. >> technology is a tool. okay? it's what you do with technology that is the magic. >> reporter: the magic, dan and his team at the technology resource center in marin have been performing since 2000. taking the best silicon valley creates and adapting it to help students with special needs of all kinds. an interesting line of work for someone whose training is as a speech therapist. it started, dan says, with the student he had the hardest time reaching.

>> i didn't know how to address these issues. i didn't know the proper tools. i just knew there had to be some different way so i started exploring. >> reporter: technology is where it led. with the help of a group of parents, dan started the tech center and has since touched the lives of thousands of special needs students. none, perhaps more dramatically than 21-year-old hannah. having only the ability to move one hand, dan worked with hannah most of her life, helping her find ways to communicate with others. she is now going to college, studying web design. >> hannah is the reason why i do this. she is the prime example of someone who has grown up, seen technology evolve, seen technology finally catch up to the person that she is. >> reporter: hannah's mom could not be more grateful. >> he does it with heart. he does it, you know, he wants

to help everybody. >> reporter: in today's world, technology can come across as cold and unfeeling, but at least around here, for the past two decades -- >> what seems to work really well -- >> reporter: it has been the key to unlocking all sorts of wonders. dan is quick to point out he doesn't do this by himself. the center is a unique collaboration of the school, businesses and most of all, parents. in fact, a group of parents helped raise $100,000 to give the tech center a facelift. garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. the power of getting together.

>> kids are devastated. kids are shocked, they are upset. this is someone that was the music teacher for three years. >> according to this dartmouth website, he is attached to lehigh of san jose. something deadly is lurking in the waters of the san francisco bay and killing thousands of sharks. scientists aren't sure how to stop it from spreading to other sea life, including the fish you eat. what is behind the shark deaths. bigad shaban is at the shore with that story. >> reporter: the san francisco bay is home to a complex ecosystem. the wildlife is interconnected. even though this area stretches 1600 square miles, when one species suffers, others can, too. here along the waterfront, scientists believe there is a dead deadly threat that lies beneath.

hidden in the beauty of the bay is a cool mystery that's leaving thousands of sharks disoriented or dead. >> we have to find out what's killing the sharks. >> reporter: this is a marine biologist and expert on leopard sharks, the main species washing up death. in five months, 1,000-2000 leopard sharks died in the bay. >> this is going to stretch? rewe going to see it up and down the stretch? we don't know. >> reporter: field work on sharks is rare. they invited us aboard their boat in san diego for a first and look. >> we are headed to a known leopard shark hot spot. we have a leopard shark here. >> reporter: he catches and releases them on their movement. here we go, again. >> reporter: the team takes measurements, blood samples and

attaches tracking tags. the sharks eyes are covered to reduce stretch. his research is funded by private donors and focuses on sharks swimming patterns, not their demise. it's crucial to investigate what is happening to kill them. >> if we don't find out, there's nothing we can do about it. >> reporter: they are not naturally buoyant. sharks infected that die in deep water may never wash up on shore. >> the sharks you see are a small fraction of the sharks that are actually dying in the bay. >> reporter: dr. mark should know. he is the one keeping count. he is the state's one-man science team trying to find out what is preying on california sharks. similar deaths date back 50 years and have been unexplained. he believes he's turning the tide. his research points to a

parasite. it sneaks in there a shark's nose and slowly eats away at the brain, oftentimes causing sharks to beach themselves. this year, it's not just sharks washing ashore. up to 500 bat rays, hundreds of striped bass, 50 smooth ham sharks and 100 halibut all dead. >> it's possible the parasite is spreading in. >> yes. that's a reasonable assumption. >> reporter: investigating the cause isn't his job. he assesses the health of sea bass. he's been researching shark death during his spare time and he does it from home. he examines shark tissue on his dining room table. >> probably have to wash this clothe before thanksgiving. >> reporter: he studies bacteria samples in his kitchen. over 1,000 sharks are dead.

funding for that. >> we'll have to get back with you on that. >> reporter: they did. they dedicate zero dollars to researching the shark deaths. the legislature governor could approve additional funds. until that happens, the department is putting resources elsewhere, like other higher risk wildlife. leopard sharks aren't threatened or in danger. they are some of the most abundant sharks off the california coast. andy say that is makes them canaries in a bay area coal mine. >> when they die and wash ashore, it's obvious. what about all the other species that, perhaps, are getting sick and dying and sinking to the bottom that we don't know about? there's more at stake here than leopard sharks. >> reporter: the number of shark deaths peaked in april and may. a fair amount of pollution washes into the bay after a rainfall. it can compromise a shark's

immune system, leaving it too weak to fight off infection. as to what is leading other species vulnerable, nobody knows for sure. the state has no plan on putting money behind finding an answer. >> if you have a story for aur investigative unit, call 888-996-tips or e-mail the the unit as www.nbcbayarea.com. the debate over health care in this country. president trump sends out a new tweet saying he reached out to democrats to work on a new health care bill. in a message, he called new york senator chuck schumer on friday. the president only, quote, wanted to make another run at repealing obamacare. schumer says that is off the table but the democrats are open about talking ability improving the health care system. still ahead on "today in the bay," issues that unfortunately come up every time a mass shooting takes place. gun control. political analysts will join us

modern american history, but hardly the first. according to one study, 90 mass attacks occurred in the past 30 years. larry is here this morning. larry, this is the only country with these kind of statistics. quha accounts for them? >> simple. it starts with access. access to firearms. while some states ask a few questions about potential firearms owners, 40% of all purchases occur without any form of background checks, according to the handgun campaign. guns are prevalent. 30%, almost one out of three american adults own at least one gun, according to the poll. in stephen's case, 42 weapons, all purchased legally, thanks to lax laws or no laws by the states. by the way, california had the strictist gun control laws in

the nation, including semiautomatic weapons. >> larry, the question, do background checks make a difference. we look at what happened in las vegas, at the elementary school in sandy hook, the shooters passed a background check. these guns bought by stephen paddo paddock were all purchased legally. >> there's an exception to every rule. states with background checks have fewer gun related crimes than states without the legislation. that is a fact. according to a recent gallup poll, 86%, 86% of americans support background checks versus 12% who oppose them. >> 86%, that is very much, by any definition, an overwhelming majority, when you talk politics, whatever. >> yeah. >> with that public support, will congress do something and why haven't they, thus far. >> a couple things to look at.

public anguish from tragedies like las vegas. it dissipates quickly. think of sandy hook, charleston. after a couple weeks, people go on to other issues. second, national rifle association is a fierce opponent of -- the strongest interest group. americans value the nra. in that same gallup poll, 56% of americans had favorable views of the nra, compared to 35% with unfavorable views. it gets complicated quickly. >> looking back at the las vegas shooting, the number of people who were hurt and killed as well as the types of weapons that were used by paddock, particularly the semiautomatic that was con ferted to fire as

an automatic to spray hundreds or thousands of bullets into the crowd. senator dianne feinstein saying we need a law. is congress willing to respond? >> it may. it may respond, but only in a slight way. in stephen paddock's case, the murderer converted a semiautomat to an automatic weapon with a bump stock. that changed a fire rate between 400 to 600 rounds a minute compared to 45 or 60. there's a move in congress to make the bump stock illegal. the nra, perhaps sensing the public mood, 86%, has been pretty quiet. let's not kid ourselves here. even 45-60 rounds per minute in a semiautomatic rifle can take a

lot of lives quickly as we have seen through time. >> semiautomatic weapons, people may forget they were once illegal in this country. >> they were. in 1994, california u.s. senator, dianne feinstein who has been involve in this, passed a weapons ban which outlawed semiautomatic weapons that expired. feinstein is now a co-author of the bump stock bill. if it passes, don't kid yourself, it will not impact the sale or ownership of semiatmatic weapons in most states. if the past is a guide to the future, the future of mass murdersers are likely to occur again. >> thanks for your insight and bring thg information to us on sunday morning. appreciate it. stay with us. still ahead on "today in the bay." you know when someone you love
