we )re looking live at san francisco this hour. and welcome back. you are watching "today in the bay." as we take a live look out on san francisco right now, a beautiful way to start out your monday. we're here to help you get on your way. the time now is 4:45. i think the winds will help you get on the with a i. >> push you right along. >> yeah. >> i mean, those temperatures, the snap and then it changed and it was so much cooler. that's kind of what we were expecting, but when it actually happens like, wow. >> yep. >> told you. >> it did get a lot cooler. we are going to have a cooler day today, looking at temperatures that will be falling as we go into the

afternoon. i wanted to give you a look at storm ranger this morning standing around the bay area. also wanted to point out how high definition it is. right now we're seeing those wind turbines in those areas, you are always going to see that here on storm ranger, but all clear this morning. i wanted to take you to the sierra, check this out this morning, we have a weak disturbance moving through that's bringing just enough to drop a dusting of snow over parts of lake tahoe, so it's going to be a beautiful morning starting out there. now, we are feeling some temperatures almost cold enough to snow in napa, 33 degrees, it's 48 degrees in oakland and 47 degrees now in palo alto. san jose starts out the morning at 45 degrees, but with our breezy winds throughout the day it's going to feel cooler than this, but this is where we should be for february, right? we're finally going to have some normal temperatures. it's been so warm last week we're going to bring it back to normal with high temperatures in the upper 50s for concord and livermore, san jose 62 degrees

and 59 today in san francisco. so getting dressed this morning you do need the layers, starting out with a coat and also some long sleeves, and as we go throughout the day we will also have maybe the best day to wear some boots. so that would be a good option today because it will gradually warm up as we go through the rest of the week. as we go throughout the rest of that forecast, what's causing those breezy winds will start to slide to the south. we will still have the high pressure but there will be another area of low pressure dropping in by early next week and that could bring us some changes, possibly so many rain in the bay area but still all dry this week. and our temperatures that will gradually warm up from the upper 50s today in san francisco, inland areas up to 61 this afternoon. mike, you are hearing more about that tri-valley road closure. at least a little more, kari. we've been in contact with dublin chp that's their jurisdiction on tesla road. most of the sensors are great but we are talking about this of course an affect on the altamonte pass as well. this closure tesla right around

where it turns to corral hollow, we will call that police activity for now. there's that closure, tesla road is an alternate for these folks travel to or from 580 and 580. basically cutting around the backup at the altamonte. that's going to get a little heavier as folks can't use the alternate this morning. keep that in mind. another alternate for you, ace trains moving smoothly out of that, area, bart no delays on pleasanton and dublin, all the rest of the transit agencies look great. looking at the approach to the bay bridge, no major issues. a very smooth flow. the cash lanes are sorting themselves out as they open all the cash lanes this morning for the takers. i want to give you a quick look further north at the richmond-san rafael bridge bridge, this is a live picture, you see cars coming toward us, just a few. back to you. the next story isn't going to take a victim of a crime feel any safer. a crisis a decade in the making

delaying criminal cases around the bay area. hundreds of those victims and criminal defendants are waiting a year or longer to go to trial. >> it's frustrating. senior investigative reporter stephen stock joins us with the details. >> reporter: a decade ago during the economic downturn the governor and legislature took hundreds of millions of dollars from california's court budget. that money has never been replaced. now that lack of resources is creating a backlog of thousands of criminal cases around the state and the bay area, but some courts such as sacramento county have found a way to keep the system running efficiently. >> there became a culture here in the court in our county with our justice stakeholders of cooperate tichbs. >> david dealba is presiding judge of sacramento county courts where 97% of all criminal cases are disposed of within a year or less.

>> many of the criminal filings are filed in what we call home courts and they stay in those courts unless they can't be resolved and then they're sent to a trial court. >> the state average for clearing criminal cases is 88% within a year but in some courts that do not use the system of home courts, including several here in the bay area, that percentage is much lower and many criminal cases languish for years before they go to trial. >> we think we've learned a lot and gained a lot of the efficiencies that you're probably concerned about because of that design. >> coming up tonight we'll show you exactly which bay area criminal courts are lagging behind and we'll dig into why that's happening and find out what they plan to do about it. that's tonight. i'm stephen stock. if you have a story for our investigative unit you can always give us a call, number 888-996-tips or visit our website nbcbayarea.com/ve
