napa at 58 degrees, antioch 58 degrees. so let's talk about that timeline in terms of the rain. as i mentioned with that doppler radar you can see that system sitting off the coast and here it is. it makes its arrival as of right now early tuesday, becoming widespread into tuesday night and wednesday and it's going to linger around through thursday. as i mentioned possible atmospheric river tuesday night through thursday. we're talking heavy rain and windy conditions, gusty conditions as a cold front squeeps in on wednesday and that's going to kick up our winds as we head in towards thursday. the next seven days here is a look at what you can expect. we are going into a bit of a warmer trend into tomorrow. we will notice our temperatures increase. by about ten degrees in some spots. as we head in towards tuesday, that's when we see the big change in our weather pattern. we start to notice an increase in cloud cover, that system makes its way in. we will be breezy and then windy on thursday. right now it looks like those

showers might linger into your friday and possibly some early morning showers on saturday, but look at tomorrow, 70 degrees or inland spots. so definitely an increase in temperatures and then we see a drop in temperatures once again, as we head into towards tuesday. so the next seven days it's going to be interesting out there. just keep that umbrella handy. vicky? >> thank you. we will. still ahead on "today in the bay" -- >> when he buys the car the salesman tells him it's fully loaded, but down the road some features are missing. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. nbc bay area responds next.

package. phil whipped up a message. >> so i sent it, no response. so i sent another e-mail, no response. then i left two telephone messages, two response. >> phil calculated the tech package cost 3 grand new, so he wasn't going to let that kind of money just slide. after hearing nothing from the dealer for seven weeks, he had had it. >> so i contacted you. >> we contacted mercedes benz of san francisco. we initially got no response, too, but on our third try phil received very good news. >> full money, 100%. >> $40,000. >> $40,000. >> the dealer manager mark santos agreed to buy backfill's infinity. in a note he wrote as we strive for nothing less than complete customer satisfaction, even though it may have been miscommunication, we offered a complete refund of all moneys paid. santos also sent a copy of a disclaimer that he said applied

to his salesman's e-mail as well as all advertising materials. it reads, while every reasonable effort is made to ensure the accuracy of this information, we are not responsible for any errors or omissions contained on these pages. >> if they are not responsible, who is? >> so the vehicle dealer would be responsible. >> the dmv told us a blanket disclaimer doesn't give auto dealers latitude to offer one thing but deliver another. the business and professions code requires them to be truthful. mercedes benz of san francisco insists it made an honest mistake with phil. here is the dmv's advice for preventing a dispute like phil's the next time you're shopping for a car, take pictures of the advertising, keep copies of every e-mail they send you, and point out discrepancies. then if you're still not satisfied, file an official complaint. >> so we would recommend to phil to file a complaint with the local dmv investigations office. >> it was off the mark. >> phil is still driving the infinity, by the way, after our

involvement he negotiated a partial refund instead of a buy back. he's satisfied and confident his call to us made it possible. >> good job. >> california law is pretty good to car buyers like phil. in fact, a car buyers bill of rights covers us, it's just two pages long, but full of important protections. i say read it. print it out and take it with you whenever you visit a dealer. we've put a link to the car buyers bill of rights on our website nbcbayarea.com/responds. while you're there if you're having trouble settling a consumer problem let us know or you can call us 888-996-tips. still to come on "today in the bay," we will have more on an intense fire fight in san francisco's north beach neighborhood. why city leaders are squaring off over the firefighters response. plus -- >> the public needs to see those reasons for the firing. >> a dramatic move by the justice department, the reaction

>> reporter: attorney general jeff sessions accepted a recommendation from the fbi itself to fire andrew mccabe over his decision to let fbi officials talk with a reporter during the presidential campaign about an investigation of the clinton foundation. sessions called that an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and said mccabe lacked candor when asked about it later including under oath on multiple occasions. the justice department says 19 other people were fired from the fbi over the past year for lack of candor, but mccabe says he answered truthfully and approved talking to the reporter to clarify the fbi's role in the clinton investigation. he says he's being singled out for supporting former fbi director james comey after he was fired. >> the vast majority of fbi employees enjoyed a deep and positive connection to director comey. >> reporter: mccabe says his firing is part of an unprecedented effort by the administration, driven by the president himself to destroy his reputation and possibly strip him of his pension.

today mccabe's defenders called for a fund to support him and his family. >> the idea that, you know, a president could come and interfere with a discipline decision at the very end just a couple days before his career is over is just, i think, a frightening proposition. >> reporter: so far the report that led to the fbi's firing recommendation has not been released. >> the public needs to see those reasons for the firing. otherwise it just looks like they're trying to is up suppress a witness that saw the comey firing last year and is involved in the russia probe. >> reporter: president trump tweeted that mccabe's firing is a great day for the hard working men and women of the fbi and called comey sanctimonious. >> that was pete williams reporting. staying in the nation's capitol now, a democrat from ohio just broke a glass ceiling record. representative mercy captor is now the longest serving woman in the house of representatives. she arrived on capitol hill 35

presidential party in power. we witnessed a red wave in 2010 when sizable numbers of independence and conservative democrats joined conservative republicans to produce a net of 63 gaining republican seats in the house of representatives. there by becoming a majority party. many observers believe that this shift came as a result of voter anger over obamacare, some people now see 2018 as a blue wave election year, largely due to the unpopularity of republican president donald trump, which is hovering at an amazing 35%, a record low. >> so we look back at last week, a single victory in a single race. how much do you think we can learn from that? >> you know, in many ways not much. not much. if we view this as a single data point but if we widen our lens several related eye election events may reveal a pattern. first, there was a democratic victory in 2017, the virginia governors race. this of course in a purple

state. second, there was the upset in alabama, a crimson red state. when democrat doug jones bee feeted roy moore for a u.s. senate seat. last week we witnessed the lamb victory in the heart of trump country. those three events begin to give us a little bit more context. >> okay. so that's three events. fair enough. but do you think three events can be reliably used to predict a congressional kind of blue sweep, blue wave? >> okay. let's widen that lens a bit more. because all kinds of events, we know this, all kinds of events, economic, military, social, all these things can shift our politics and, therefore, our voting behavior. in one direction or another. between now and november 2018. but if we drill deeper into recent state legislative special elections, we learn something. in 2017 democrats captured 14 republican seats in legislative special elections. during the same year republicans flipped over three democratic

seats. so far this year out of 28 special state legislative elections democrats have managed a net gain of six more republican seats. so now collectively these results suggest something. they suggest the growing possibility of that blue wave in november. >> that is an interesting look when you break it down with the numbers like that. you called it a blue tsunami. we talk about california, how much of a role do you think california will play in this? >> incredibly. incredible role. california may well play a major role in two ways. first, democrats need now only a net gain of 23 seats to regain control of the house. they have targeted seven republican seats in in state alone where two republicans have already said they won't even run for reelection. second, if democrats win the majority back in the house, minority leader nancy pelosi of san francisco would be in prime position to resume the leadership she lost in 2011.

that would be a coupe for this state of course. we're still eight months away from an election. a lot could happen between now and then. still, you know, when you consider the president's unpopularity, congressional gridlock and the ever expanding mueller investigation, the environment may be ripe for a change. we haven't seen the likes of since 2010. >> eight months seems like an eternity in this administration when we talk about day to day the news cycle or week to week, so a lot can happen in eight months. >> so much. so much can happen, yeah. >> let me ask you this, larry, for republicans who are hoping to hold on to their seats, what's the key? do they distance themselves from the current administration? do they double down? >> do you know what, vicky, that's the question in every single republican has to ask. it will deliver between where they live, the kinds of populations they have supporting them. if they are in marginal states or lopsided states they can cruise to an easy victory. republicans have to do a lot of

soul searching given this incredible unpopularity. no president has ever stayed in office this long at this low with unpopularity. so this is the kind of soul searching republicans have to do if they want to stay in power. >> larry gerston, as always thank you for your insight this morning. stay with us. still ahead on "today in the bay," we have a winner. someone just became $456 million richer. we will tell you where the powerball jackpot was won right after this break. and we are not tracking rain for today, but it is cold out there. 24-hour temperature change, 5 degrees colder in san jose. i will talk about your daytime highs and what our next chance of rain will come in. monday - ig so you can plan. plus: he paid his bill, but they canceled his membership. what to avoid - if you (also ue a popular movie subscription service. )today in the bay ) 4:30 to 7.

last night and now doppler radar is showing us what's ahead. so you can see just off the coast we have got this disturbance and that's looking like it could possibly tap into some subtropical moisture creating a bit of an atmospheric river effect. as we head into towards the middle of the workweek. let's talk about your microclimate highs for today. a combination of sun and clouds for our skies, coast, bay and inland. daytime highs will climb into the upper 50s, oakland a high of 57 degrees, san jose 57 degrees, san francisco also with a high of about 56. i just want to show you squaw creek lake tahoe because it looks absolutely magical. today is one of those great days to be up there or drive up there because the driving conditions and road conditions a lot better this morning. negative 1 degrees right now, but let's talk about how much snow has fallen within the past seven days. the last three days we got a good amount of snowfall especially for squaw valley. 95 inches have fallen in squaw valley, season total of 338 inches, heavenly 63 inches,

season total of 222, and northstar about 74 inches with a season total of 210. so they actually still have a couple weeks to go before we see that get up to speed in terms of where we are supposed to be around this time of year. let's take a quick check of that long range outlook. i showed you that system off the coast. you can see it moving tuesday into wednesday and really bringing widespread showers all the way through thursday. we've got heavy rain expected and also a combination of some wind as well as we head in towards wednesday and thursday. here is a look at the next seven days. tomorrow is when we start a bit of that warming trend. we warm up by about ten degrees in some spots. 63 degrees your expected high for san francisco, then we see temperatures drop as we head into tuesday. look at the inland temperatures as we head into tomorrow. upper 60s, possibly even some 70s on the map. we will definitely have a nice dry and warm start to our workweek before we see a bit of

some hectic weather as we head in towards tuesday and wednesday. we definitely have to get ready, though, for that wet weather because it's looking pretty strong right now. >> we have had some good practice over the last week. yesterday a little bit of everything. some people even got hail. >> danville got some hail but we also saw rainbows so definitely a lot calmer this afternoon. >> vianey, thank you. finally this morning someone in the pennsylvania area is waking up a multi-millionaire. one lucky person, one person, hit the lotto in last night's drawing. the estimated jackpot worth over $456 million. in case you missed the numbers, they're 22, 57, 59, 60, 66, 7 was the powerball. this is the eighth largest jackpot in the game's history and if you have any friends or family in pennsylvania, you might want to make a phone call this morning just in case. all right. thank you so much for making us a part of your morning. we will have more local news for you tonight at 4:30, 6:00 and 11:00 and of course all day on
