and our sister station, telemundo 48 has also accessibility to this tool. i do occasionally fill in for them so i will be using it on the telemundo site. for now, even though we're not scanning rain, we're tracking plenty of sunshine. 49 degrees for the peninsula. 44 for the tri valley and the south bay right now at about 50 degrees. san francisco waking up to clear skies. it's 52 degrees, east bay 47. north bay, 42. and overall today's microclimate highs are actually going to be cooler than what we have seen. but still warm in some spots. so it's kind of a give and take. the biggest take-away this weekend is going to be the increase in those wind speeds. oakland, a high of 67. san jose, a high of 71. san francisco, 66. and santa rosa, 70. you may recall, this week long, all week long, we have hit near-record temps, made new daytime records and this weekend we're going to catch a break. i want to talk about these winds. if we take a look at the hour-by-hour wind gusts, if you notice, we're going to start picking up in terms of the

breezy and windy conditions. right at about 6:30 p.m., especially in the higher elevation areas, above 1,000 feet or at 1,000 feet, we're talking about 20, possibly 40 mile an hour gusts. napa is going to get pretty windy. 29 miles per hour. santa rosa, 22. orinda, 22. san jose, not as windy, but definitely on the breezy side. and then if we fast forward this time line through sunday, you notice the winds significantly calm down. but as far as that long-range outlook in terms of the rain, we do have this upper level low. that is going to miss us. we've got the shifting winds facing the strong ridge of high pressure. and off to the south as we head into monday and tuesday, that upper level low is going to bring a chance of rain for areas just south, as far south as monterey. into tuesday. and then for wednesday, looks like the upper level low might bring rain to the valley. as far as san francisco and other areas, not expecting much rain. we'll keep the breezy conditions through tomorrow and, of course, pleasant 60s in the forecast. kira? >> vianey, looks good.

a cross-country skier in college, reid had decided to give up elite sports. but then her grandfather was diagnosed with alzheimer's, and as a precaution, weapons were removed from his home. including a biathlon rifle. it ended up in reid's hands, and so she thought she would give biathlon a try. >> two years and two months ago was my first. yeah. >> reporter: and here you are. >> and here i am. >> reporter: here she is. competing with a rifle inscribed with the lakota word for grandfather, competing in his honor. >> yeah. i had always wanted to do this for him. i'm not sure how much he understands right now. if he understands that i'm here. because of that. but i like to think somewhere -- somewhere in there, he knows. >> reporter: garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. >> you should be sure to follow along with garvin's coverage of the winter olympics in pyeongchang. beyond our newscast, he's also a great follow on twitter from the latest news to profiles of our local olympians.

>> reporter: there was a round of cheers for team usa as they entered the stadium in pyeongchang. >> when they walk in, it just sent chills up my spine. memories come tumbling down. >> reporter: it's been a few years since beverly brockway took part in an olympic opening ceremony. she was an alpine skier when the games were in squaw valley. susie jones roy was a swimmer in the summer olympics. she says watching the winter olympics is still moving. >> it takes me back to 1968, when i was in the olympics in mexico city and how i felt in the opening ceremonies. the excitement, the wonder. >> each athlete wore their uniforms from the years they competed. you'll notice a few didn't wear red, white and blue. as the athletes in pyeongchang parade into the olympic stadium, they are becoming part of this exclusive group. and it's a lifetime membership. >> we have a seeing here in the group. once an olympian, always olympians. never former, never past. >> reporter: and each one is golden.

stormranger in the house. literally in the parking lot right now. and it is scanning. it's right here, scanning. and although we're not tracking any rain right now, we're pretty excited to have it. it's going to be up and ready to go when we do finally start seeing rain around the area. so what exactly is stormranger? it's our dual -- really good doppler radar. we're talking a lot better than the radars we have right now. it picks up horizontally and vertically, giving a 2-d view of the rain and we are the only in the bay area to have it. of course, we will also be sharing this with our station for telemundo. we are excited. it is ready to go and fired up. right now the peninsula is at 49 degrees. the south bay is a mild 50 degrees and the tri valley, 44 degrees. san francisco, 52. now, as you may know, we've broken a lot of daytime records earlier this week, and we've inched near some new ones. but for today, we're going to see some cooling in some spots, which will be a nice break from all of that heat, especially because we're still in the winter. san francisco expecting a high

of 66. santa rosa, 70 degrees. oakland, a high of 67. san jose, a high of 71. so no upper 70s for today. but the biggest impact you're going to notice is going to be a pickup in the winds. so your hour-by-hour wind forecast, we've got a shifting wind pattern. what that's doing is, well, it's kicking up the winds, especially in elevations above 1,000 feet. napa, 29 miles per hour. orinda, 22. santa rosa, 22. so if you live in any of these areas or you know -- you live in the higher elevation areas, make sure to tie down any patio furniture. don't get thrown off guard. as we head into tomorrow, by about 11:30 a.m., look how significantly calm those winds become. so we go from about 20, 30, 40 miles per hour in some spots to pretty much nothing. so it's going to be still a little bit breezy, though, for tomorrow. but your long-range outlook, if i take you through tuesday, we've got this upper level low, and yes, that's some moisture just off to the south. now, unfortunately, the bay area is not really going to get much of that rain. los angeles does have a good chance of seeing the rain, but

for now that strong ridge of high pressure is going to keep us dry and it's going to keep us a little bit cooler, but at least not a lot of heat as we head in towards monday. 61 degrees for san francisco. showers just off to the south on tuesday. and then on wednesday, central valley has a chance of rain, thanks to that same upper level low. but for now, well, we're going to keep the sunshine all weekend long. kira? >> you know what, we will take it. thanks, vianey. looks good. still ahead on "today in the bay," he was hired to protect a client's savings before she died. but the state says he lined his own pockets. we investigate california's commitment to protect you from fraud. bizarre scheme involving t

understanding of the law. they've made an allegation. it's false. my client's money was used by and large for 24-hour home care. >> reporter: this quiet san francisco neighborhood is where his client lived for more than four decades. she hired bradshaw to help create a trust account. and in an unusual move, she listed the attorney as one of the possible people to manage her money and home, should anything happen to her. when she fell and injured herself four years ago, a court put her attorney, drexel bradshaw, in charge of her estate. he's now being accused of funneling money from that trust into a company he helped create. bay construction. bradshaw hired bay to do work on the elderly woman's home while she was suffering from dementia. you're an experienced attorney. that doesn't seem like a conflict of interest to you? >> no. i don't. all that work was done just to maintain the safety of the home. >> reporter: bradshaw says he's never had any financial interest in bay construction. you don't have a construction

company that's in your name? >> no. certainly not. i'm a lawyer. >> reporter: bradshaw signed documents filed with the state to form bay construction. but he says he was simply acting as an attorney for the person who actually owns bay construction. handyman named juan gonzalez who had previously done repair work at bradshaw's own home. >> >> i agreed to loan him $1,000 and to help him get his contractors license. >> reporter: bradshaw let his former handyman register that construction company to the same high-rise address as bradshaw's law firm. >> i offered office space and allowed my receptionist to answer a phone for bay construction. and the contractor would have meetings here. my conference room. if it was not being used. and his mail showed up here. and that was it. bay construction is and has always been a 100% by juan gonzalez.

>> reporter: but in court, gonzalez testified that he owned 49% of the company, while bradshaw owned the other 51%. bradshaw's own son colin also worked for the business. and court documents show bradshaw, his wife, son and receptionist all had company credit cards in their names for bay construction. bradshaw says the arrangement helped the construction company get a 5% discount at lowe's hardware. so he says it was a favor to help his former handy man succeed in his business. does any of that make sense to you? >> no, it doesn't. >> reporter: jeremiah rackster is an attorney. at 90 years old, the woman passed away last june so her relative stands to inherit money from that trust. money bradshaw is accused of using to pay for his own personal expenses. >> it's unusual to have a credit card in the name of a construction company that you have no interest in.

it just doesn't appear correct. something -- there's something missing. >> reporter: his client is now suing to have bradshaw stripped of all responsibility involving the trust. the judge in that case is yet to weigh in on whether there was any wrongdoing. but just last month, he did remove bradshaw as the trustee, at least for now, while the state bar pursues their own separate investigation into bradshaw and possible fraud. >> normally the state bar is an entity out there but doesn't get involved. the fact they filed charges against an attorney i think is telling. >> reporter: the state bar also went after bradshaw about ten years ago, accusing him of fraud and alleging he charged grossly exaggerated fees. but how that case ended is unclear, since it was settled behind closed doors. bradshaw was allowed to keep practicing with no public record of discipline. but now the state bar has issued a consumer alert for bradshaw, warning he's accused of a major

misappropriation of client funds. bradshaw says he's never collected any money from that trust. >> most people don't see it, but i have a heart of gold. and i've done my very best to take care of ora. she was special to us. we were the only ones at her funeral. my wife, my children. >> her friends and relatives tell us they were never notified about a funeral. they say if bradshaw planned one, he didn't tell them about it. we asked bradshaw for details about where the funeral was held, and where gozi is now buried. bradshaw wouldn't say. but we obtained her death certificate, which shows she's buried at a cemetery in lafayette. the staff tells us no one ever purchased a tombstone for her. so bradshaw's former client now rests here in an unmarked grave. the state bar's case against bradshaw is expected to wrap-up next week. and since this isn't a criminal trial, the worst discipline he faces is losing his license to practice law. but we've learned bradshaw, his

former handyman and bay construction may now all be the subject of a criminal investigation by the contractor state license board. that agency would neither confirm nor deny its involvement. we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, our clear the shelter segment featuring our friends from pets in need. we'll introduce you do libby and levi, next. at at&t, we believe in access. the opportunity for everyone to explore a digital world. connecting with the things that matter most. and because nothing keeps us more connected than the internet, we've created access from at&t. california households with at least one resident who receives snap or ssi benefits may qualify for home internet at a discounted rate of $10 a month. no commitment, deposit, or installation fee.
