7:18 am
degrees, north bay 51 degrees and here's that doppler radar showing off that fog. any time you see pretty dense fog, remember to turn on the low beams and slow it down a little bit because of that limited visibility can make it dangerous out there especially when the sun isn't up yet but the sun is coming up so that should make it easier. but regardless, be careful. san francisco's temperature trend, the good news is that fog will start to burn out by mid-morning and 10:00 a.m., 58 degrees, topping out in those lower 60s by about 1:00. and then we'll see breaks of sunshine, not just for san francisco but also east san jose as well by about 11:00 a.m. we'll start welcoming a little bit more sunshine in the forecast. 62 degrees expected by 12:00. and let's talk about that rain. so, we saw the rain kind of come in earlier in the week and then towards the end of the week and the hour-by-hour outlook right now, it looks like we're going to stay dry for the most part, keep some of that cloud cover but then we see this additional system move in that's sitting

let's talk about that rain. when we look at that hour-by-hour outlook, we see that the majority of that rain has cleared out for today, but if we fast forward through sunday, we can see we've got that system sitting off to the north, which is why we're expecting the north bay to start seeing some rain as early as tomorrow evening into monday morning. and then by about 1:00, on monday morning, by the afternoon, we'll expect to see some pops of showers all the way from santa rosa down to san francisco, oakland, and hayward, and then that system will kind of start pushing its way down south, keeping the chance of some spotty showers on and off throughout monday, but definitely expecting a very rainy monday. so today's highs will be climbing into the 60s for oakland, 62 degrees, the majority of the bay area will still to the upper 60s and if you're heading to that veterans day parade in downtown san jose, here's a look at what you can expect. so it starts at 11:00 a.m. and then goes through 2:00. by 12:00, 62 degrees, and then by 2:00, 65, i know i had a couple of facebook viewers that were concerned about it possibly raining. it's not going to rain.

you're going to have nice conditions, just a little bit on the cooler end. so, that's the good news on that end. now, as far as the next seven days, we do have a couple of changes on the way. we'll keep that rain returning, developing north on sunday and then it will kind of linger around through monday. we'll clear out a little bit on tuesday then more rain is expected as we head into wednesday. now just for san francisco but also inland spots and notice our temperature trend kind of sticks to the 60s all week long so we're on top for a good fall-like week ahead. just expect more showers as we head into tomorrow. still ahead on "today in the bay," usually, backspace corrects a typo, but not this time. plus a connection to russia. nbc bay area responds next. minutes ag c

helped connect the dots to russia. >> reporter: alan stern can spell trouble with one letter, "o." >> i had been tricked. >> reporter: last year, he unknowingly misspelled costco in his browser. there's an extra "o" in there, yet alan says the website that loaded looked legitimate. >> it had the costco logo and brand and i thought i had gone to costco.com. >> reporter: the page asked allen to do this eight-question survey. allen called us after four 97 tlars and $98 charges appeared on his credit card for a cosmetic membership. he returned the cream and complained to costco in writing. >> how could you do this? how could you support this? costco wrote back and said, this wasn't us. >> reporter: we shared allen's experience with technology analyst carolina. we learned a new term, typo

piracy. that's what the tech world calls the misuse of misspelled web addresses to possibly rip you off. >> these people have no limits as to how they try and get you. >> reporter: she says some sites collect a finder's fee for directing poor spellers. some masquerade as a real site and dupe you into buying something. the worst case is a typo that leads to a scam site or malware. >> you could actually end up having your identity stolen. >> reporter: she says typo piracy is too complicated to fully unravel. >> i don't know how good your investigative journalism is. i know from a consumer perspective, i'm not going to figure out, you know, where these people are. >> reporter: well, we tried with the cost oco website. first we searched public registries and found that address registered in russia to a person named vladimir, a name associated with other typo websites, including mariiott,

verizon, missing an "e," and south wesr.com. when we voted southwesr, it had a survey just like costoco. that's not the only similarity. several people posted glowing comments. well, those same people also endorsed costoco in the exact same order. the real southwest and the real costco told us they have no connection to these sites. they never asked for the surveys or authorized the use of their name or logo. so we had questions for vladimir. we sent messages to moscow but never heard back. when we cross referenced the e-mail addresses he used to register his site, we found more than 500 other websites, each off by just a letter or two from brand names. like google, toyota, disney, sprint, ebay, each waiting to capitalize on your careless tap

on a keyboard. >> you really don't pay attention anymore. >> reporter: but you should. >> because you just don't know who's behind it. >> reporter: after we started asking questions, southwesr shut down the survey. >> i should be more aware than most people. >> reporter: as it turns out, he works in digital advertising and internet security is part of his job. allen speaking up because if he fell for typo piracy, anyone can. >> wow, that was chris cimura reporting. as of last check, the site is now redirecting to amazon, the real amazon, by the way. a company spokesperson didn't respond. ultimately, allen was successful challenging the four $98 charges on his credit card but he says it took a long time. if you have a consumer complaint, give chris a call. the number is 1-888-996-tips or visit nbcbayarea.com/responds. just shy of 7:54. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, it's our favorite
