spoke against the proposed ordinan ordinance. sunnyvale as a city has been at the fore front of gun regulations before banning high capacity magazines. back in 2013. the mayor says this is not only about the school shooting in florida, but it's about what this city of 130,000 people can do to prevent a tragedy like that from happening here. >> you have to be 21 to drink, if you are a teenager and you get your license you have to wait 12 months before you can drive with your friends. there's other things along the line of taking a look at what we've seen putting regulations in place for youth. it's not an inappropriate thing to do. >> reporter: now, according to the nonpartisan nonprofit every town for gun safety there have been 156 mass shootings since 2009, defined as four or more people shot and killed not counting the gunman. 11 of those gunmen were age 21 or younger, but in just two of those cases did the gunman use an assault rifle.

steel and there is an expectation he will follow up on a campaign promise to add a huge tariff to anything made in china. the reason wall street thinks the president is serious about new tariffs is because his top economic adviser just resigned over this issue. gary cohn was for free trade and the president was not. so cohn's departure makes it clear protectionism just won at the white house. normally the number two man or woman would take over for cohn, in that case it's jeremy katz but he has already resigned. 43% of the staff that started with mr. trump have already left. do look for a tough open this morning. one bright spot is netflix. it'sover all value bigger than ge. >> you remember the segway

important incentive to companies to want to work in this space, especially when you're spreading your cost for that drug over a very small population. it's not like a lipitor that's spread over thousands of people -- o you know, millions of people. >> you can hear more of that interview coming up at 7:00 on the "today" show right after "today in the bay" and that story hits close to home for nbc news correspondent richard engel whose son is battling a rare disease. a snowboarder is alive after escaping an avalanche in the french alps. his helmet camera captured the dramatic moments. take a look at this brand-new vide video:. >> it happened on monday. the snowboarder says he was able to deploy his avalanche air bag which allowed him to float above

system. let's talk about that timeline. if you notice the time stamp, i always like to turn your attention towards the time stamp, it looks like the majority of that rain will be falling over the north bay and anything north of the golden gate bridge. shortly after 11:00 into the overnight hours we start to notice some of that moving down south but some spots if you look at san jose might not even see the rain. not a big rainmaker, but early morning thursday at 5:00, 56 a.m. we still could see concerns out there especially for the north bay. as i fast forward this timeline i want to take you through the long range outlook, our next storm system is expected to make its way in on saturday. we get a third storm system on monday, look at that, march 12th. we get this system off to the coast again and that will give us another chance of seeing seven days of rain. so he have with' definitely got an active weather pattern coming up here in the bay area. so, hey, bring out those umbrellas and the rain boots. seven days of rain. academy award winner. nice flow of traffic.

that will never be a movie because it would be too short. short lived just like our commute with the easy drive. we see the building happening for the tri-valley, typical for pleasanton. 880 slows past the dumbarton bridges. as we're looking toward the tri-valley, westbound 580 toward the dublin interchange a crash was reported. there's some flashing lights, it must be on the roadside. there's the dublin grade, it's fine heading toward 238 and the castro valley y. here is the bay bridge, the backup of course the metering lights are on but this was slow to build. we still have some space as folks come over off of 580. >> a lot of space there. >> room for seven more cars. that's contributing to the easier drive across pretty much all of our bridges. good to look at the bright side. >> i'm with you on that one. coming up next on "today in the bay," a glimmer of hope amid the deadly fighting going on in syria, the dramatic new video

claim. omar says the company reviewed those pictures he submitted and determined the sagging was his fault, that he must have spilled something on the mattress. omar said that wasn't true. so he reached out to us for help. we contacted sealy and it replaced omar's mattress. the company didn't explain why it at first denied the claim. instead in a statement it said our customer service team is always happy to provide help to consumers when they need assistance. one last note here. warranties change over time. for example, sealy's website lists three warranty updates since 2003 so you've got to keep an original copy of your warranty and don't make any assumptions about what's covered or not. if you have a consumer complaint call us 888-996-tips or log on to nbcbayarea.com/responds. it's 6:26 right now.

we have clearer skies in the tri-valley and north bay, a little chilly at 43 degrees, but we're going to start noticing within the next couple of hours we will see an increase in cloud cover. the reason for that is because we've got this storm system this is going to be the first of three that's sitting 700 miles off the coast and this is expected to bring kind of a plume of moisture that's right now trending to be more towards the north bay, anything north of the golden gate bridge. so what exactly does that mean? that means that the north bay and anything north of that will definitely start to see the rain initially moving in tonight and eventually spreading further south through tomorrow morning and overnight. not a big rainmaker. we will keep a close eye on how quickly this system moves out before the second one comes in. mike? it's enough to make it a spinout maker so be careful during commutes. we will track that tomorrow morning and through the rest of the few days -- few storms coming through. the south bay with the build pushing up through san jose right on schedule for a wednesday.

end of the year. marcus, a big concern because palo alto already the focus of a lot of traffic. live camera 101 north of university. these folks heading north through menlo park, redwood city and san francisco down towards the south bay, silicon valley, this is the focus of the commute and that's why they are trying to look at anything that's going to affect traffic and tunnels would have kept stuff off the surface. we will follow that. that area moves nicely on the sensors. getting over here the dumbarton bridge highway 84 westbound shows more traffic, traditional, the second of the bridges, the san mateo bridge to the north, the first to show the volume coming off of 880. overall we are looking at a lower drive southbound 101 passing sfo. there is a crash on the off ramp. there is the rest of the bay. moving smoothly despite the volume building. >> a lot of green right there. >> we'll take that. >> green and moving smoothly.

snow, rain showers as we head in towards friday and saturday but not a big rainmaker, definitely not a big snow maker, either. but that's okay, it's still going to be the weekend so i will send it back to you. >> it's 6:40 right now. coming up next on "today in the bay," construction of rental properties is booming, but it might not be a good thing for renters. this morning we investigate the surge in luxury apartment development and the problem it's creating for the housing market. stormy daniels says she is ready to talk and wants a court's permission. and we're seeing red right now as we look at the dow this morning, taking a look and you see it right there, the dow down 163 points. a lot of people worried about a trade war coming up.

will be bad. it's just enough to get your car dirty. let's talk about the next storm system. our next chance of rain coming in on saturday. the majority of that is focused off to the south. surprisingly the only issue with that is that anything south of san francisco looks like it's going to get the majority of that rain. now, i did look ahead towards monday, remember that third storm system i was talking about, it looks like that might not even be in the picture anymore depending on how quickly it moves out. it's looking very weak right now. not a lot of rain. >> still enough to make the roadways slick. got to be careful. got to do your part as well. the south bay up into san francisco we're starting to see the build on the east bay, more focus but making its way to the peninsula. we are looking at northbound routes through san jose pushing up towards silicon valley without anything unusual, just that slower lighter build, this being a wednesday. the tri-valley and the east bay show a pretty typical pattern. 680 southbound, let's get a look at waze. there was a crash reported here
