but a drizzly drive across the golden gate bridge right now. visibility is down to about a half mile or less around santa rosa. so through mid morning, we'll see reduced visibilities and at times misty skies and a lot of clouds today. in fact, a little adjustment to the forecast is to bring some of this rain a little bit further north. notice how the totals are higher towards morgan hill area, south of san jose. generally areas south of san francisco and oakland will have the best chance for seeing some light rain at times today. mostly cloudy and kind of a mild finish with temperatures today in the low 60s. we do expect 70s to make a comeback tomorrow and a stronger storm for the early part of the week ahead. we'll talk more about that and maybe snow levels in the sunday forecast. >> surprising. all right. we'll stay tuned for that, rob. thanks. it was a heart breaking end to an hours-long standoff in yountville. all three females were killed.

7:02 am
personnel made entry into the room, where we felt the hostages were being held by the suspect. and unfortunately made the discovery of three deceased females and one deceased male suspect. >> reporter: now, the authorities say wong's rental car was later found nearby. a bomb-sniffing dog alerted authorities to something in the car, but the only thing they found inside was his cell phone. you spoke earlier about those three women, those three women described as brave and accomplished professionals who lost their lives. they had dedicated their careers to helping the nation's veterans. now, they were identified as the pathway home clinical director, jennifer golick, 42 years old. executive director, christine loeber, 48 years old, and jennifer gonzalez, 29, a clinical psychologist, with the san francisco department of veterans' affairs health care system. senator bill dodd, state senator bill dodd, spent part of the evening at the yountville town

7:16 am
going to be able to do that any more is kind of sad. >> the sonic runway will now go back to burning man, but there is a possibility it will return to san jose, in which case i need to go see it. also on the move, a final night in city hall. this controversial statue in san jose will be moved today. the christopher columbus statue will be moved to the italian-american heritage foundation, also in san jose. it's been a fixture in city hall since the 1950s. however, recently an activist group has been pushing for its removal, saying the statue is a reminder of genocide, slavery and colonization. city leaders voted last month to have it removed. the spirit of san francisco's late mayor was a strong presence on treasure island yesterday. >> one, two, three! >> anita lee wielded a golden shovel at the ground-breaking for the life learning academy.

7:18 am
your clock forward. and this daylight saving is a special one. this year will be the 100th anniversary of the solstice practice. tradition started in 1818 as a way to preserve coal, with many continuing the ritual for years to come. >> i always thought it was to save daylight for farmers? >> yeah. more daylight in the evening hours. >> right. >> but means less sleep now. >> it means lost sleep for people like meteorologist rob mayeda with twin boys and me. but i think my baby won't -- i think he'll sleep. i don't know. i probably just jinxed myself. this poor guy. >> not much fun. you're going to lose sleep over this forecast. >> oh! >> let's take you outside right now. some low clouds and a little bit of drizzle out there around san francisco. you can see the low clouds across the bay, basically covering everything but the tops of the towers there off the golden gate bridge. temperatures in the 50s. dublin cooler, 51 degrees, overcast skies, and into san
7:19 am
jose now, 55 degrees. we should see temperatures reaching the low 60s around the bay area today. and check out the visibility, less than a half mile in santa rosa. and you've got some drizzle and some light rain, too, with some of the low clouds around the north bay this morning. temperatures today, mostly low to mid 60s, a lot of clouds and rain at times with the stormranger mobile doppler radar right now not seeing a lot but midday we think this will change as some of the moisture still offshore makes its way inland, though the focus of this particular storm will be across central california and southern california. that is where some of the highest rain totals we'll find around the state will happen later today. but for the bay area, essentially areas south of san francisco, moraga and san jose, you will see the most out of our rain chances today as this system continues to bring a lot of clouds. and midday, right there, you see it. there's a chance of seeing some rain around lunch time. as we head towards the evening, looks like the best chance of seeing showers through about
7:20 am
9:00 will again be around morgan hill. probably why those estimates for rain are a bit higher there for areas south of san jose. and tomorrow morning, that's a look at low clouds and fog to start off your sunday. and it looks like more sunshine to wrap-up the weekend. so our temperatures for sunday will be trending warmer. so notice the focus of a lot of the moisture at this weekend system for southern california. sunday, through the first half of monday looks dry. and now we're talking about a gulf of alaska weather system that will have more wind and rain for the bay area. monday into the early tuesday morning commute. followed by cold air aloft. so this pattern looks like two weeks ago. you'll recall we had snow levels down as low as 2,500 feet or 3,000 feet, even though we're talking march 15th, the air will be cold enough thursday into friday that could set the stage for a chance of seeing some thundershowers and maybe even some low snow levels, maybe close to 3,000 feet on friday. then as we head towards next weekend, we'll begin to see skies clear out a bit.
7:21 am
so today a lot of clouds and a chance of seeing some rain, especially for areas south of san francisco. notice tomorrow, you're going to lose some sleep over that forecast. but the temperatures will be a bit warmer for sunday. monday, we'll have mostly cloudy skies. rain likely. maybe for the end of the evening commute on monday. tuesday looks to be the wettest day with breezy conditions. and look at that transition. 70s going into highs in the mid 50s. that is a air mass change from the mild almost kind of sub tropical connection to the system we have today to that gulf of alaska chilly air which could bring showers, maybe some thunder and some interesting weather. certainly more winter-like as we approach friday. kira, back to you. >> so interesting how it keeps changing. rob, thanks. still ahead on "today in the bay," a new look for the old bay bridge. we'll show how a bay area woman is giving new life.

7:25 am
day? >> reporter: boynton is one of 15 artists recently awarded steel to create public art projects across the state. >> i am literally feeling the weight and the magnitude of how important this steel is. people would walk by and just take pictures of it through the gate, because it was like celebrity steel. >> reporter: boynton and her crew are crafting her allotment of steel into new structures for hornblower cruises on san francisco's pier 3. >> we think the metal makes a very strong statement, and will allow us to tell a story of the bay bridge. >> once in a lifetime opportunity, for sure. >> reporter: this is not the first time boynton's volunteer, anthony james, has had his hands on this steel. he was among six union iron workers who dismantled the old bridge. >> piece by piece. >> reporter: but while james has had plenty of experience taking things down, he's never had the
7:26 am
chance to resurrect one. >> not only is there blood, sweat and tears tearing it down, i get it put it back up. >> the best use of this metal when they took it down, instead of just recycling all of it somewhere else to give to artists to reuse in a different way. >> reporter: boynton plans to transform the steel into barriers, towers, and even a set of wind chimes from the pier, the bridge from the bay area's past reaching into the future. >> and i love this steel. >> reporter: nbc bay area news. >> very cool. we have much more ahead coming up. a planned sitdown meeting between president trump and north korea's kim jong-un. the white house says they are cautiously optimistic. plus, we will take you live to yountville for an update on the deadly veterans home hostage shooting. fwlap wanted to help the school. they would put these signs on the door to let the teacher know

7:45 am
good morning, waking up to a combination of fog and mid and high-level clouds. in dublin, cooler. also in the 50s, 51 currently with partly cloudy skies. san jose, kind of a mild start. mid o50s now. the high clouds you're seeing part of a sub tropical plume of moisture that even with the overcast condition today we think will still see highs in the low to mid 60s. visibility about a half mile or
7:46 am
so around santa rosa, north bay locations dealing with fog and drizzle this morning. and our temperatures today climbing, again, pretty much low to mid 60s no matter where you go from san francisco, san jose, pleasanton, maybe warmer spots with a chance of upper 60s. notice the chance here of seeing some showers as the on again/off again rain chances seem to have moved a little bit further north in our morning forecast. right now our stormranger mobile doppler radar picking up a few light rain showers in the north bay, but offshore, here's what we're watching coming in over the next let's say four to six hours. you'll see it in the futurecast here coming up. notice how central and southern california is where the majority of the moisture is. we do have an area of rotation here offshore. this is our area of low pressure, which will enhance lift right around midday and even though the bay area really is sitting on the northern fringe of this, we do have a chance of seeing some measurable rain today. notice for a change not so much for the north bay, we are seeing some drizzle and mist this morning. but areas south, especially
7:47 am
