next 15. some issue for north bay drivers will be the fog. right back to you. back to that breaking news. two more suspicious packages are found overnight. in new york city, one was found at the property owned by actor robert de niro. sources telling nbc that the package has similar markings to the pipe bombs sent nationwide, putting authorities on high alert. several were mailed to high-profile democrats critical of president trump. also breaking at this hour, nbc news confirming a package, as you see this shot right here, this is in new castle, delaware, addressed to joe biden has similar markings found in those packages found with pipe bombs. these are live pictures from that postal facility. let's bring in tracie potts in washington following these developments. >> reporter: we're just getting word they finally found that package they thought was in the

system addressed to joe biden, part of this investigation of what's now several packages targeting key democrats. especially democrats who have been -- and democratic supporters who have been critical of president trump. take a look. this is what one of those packages looks like. this is the one from cnn addressed to former cia director john brennan. these packages with similar markings, similar postmarks, similar return addresses to florida democrat debbie wasserman schultz, causing her office to be evacuated. cnn was also evacuated, as you know. now we understand not only president obama, hillary clinton, other prominent democrats have been targeted like maxine waters, again, who's been critically outspoken of president trump. the evacuations is for safety, but we understand no one has been hurt. now authorities are trying to use what's on and in these packages to figure out who sent them. >> the postal inspection service

can track that package back to the united states post office that first received the package. >> reporter: not only that, but dna, hair and fiber and some of the bomb components may be helpful in trying to identify who this suspect is. meantime, president trump tweeting about this. in wisconsin last night he said the feds are on it but criticized the media and tweeting this morning a big part of the anger we see today is what he calls false and inaccurate reporting of the mainstream media. he calls it fake news. he says the media needs to clean up its act fast. that's the president's latest comment with this investigation under way. marcus? >> all right. now, we're learning here in the bay area there are extra patrols at b.a.r.t. stations this morning. bob redell is covering that angle of the story.

richmond, including that 2012 richmond refinery fire that if folks remember, evacuated roughly 14,000 residents in the area. i want to point out that in 2013, chevron did pay $2 million in fines for folks affected in that 2012 fire. also when it comes to that spending that $163 million, chevron will spend roughly $20 million on improving the facility right here in richmond. we're live in richmond. pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> that's quite a big fine. thanks, pete. one of three defendants accused in the murder of a peninsula father is expected to ask for a bail reduction. he's accused in the death of keith green, whose body was found in sonoma county in may of 2016. authorities later arrested tiffany lee from hillsborough along with two others. lee is the mother of green's children. investigators say there was some kind of custody dispute.

san francisco police are reportedly touting a new approach to defend against car bre break-in. police chief met with supervisors. they involve dedicating staff members to focus solely on property crime and work directly with neighborhood prosecutors. citywide break-ins are down 14% from last year. it could be a big win for major silicon valley tech companies like google, facebook and apple. president trump's administration is planning to change the way the lottery is run for h-1-b visas. under the plan highly educated foreign workers getting the accepted rate will be boosted. the new process is expected to be announced later this month. new this morning, san jose police need your help to i.d. a suspect who eblxposed himself t three different victims. take a look at the photos of the car and the man police are

mile or less. we'll be dealing with the fog through 8:00 and quickly clearing out. at noon we're at 71 degrees and reaching into the upper 70s and low 80s this afternoon. as you get the kids ready for school in antioch, on your way to school and work, it will be in the mid-50s at 7:00. we go from 55 to 74. the warm-up will be quick today. i'll have more on that in a few minutes. mike, you're getting folks out the door. how's it looking? >> well, what we can see looks great, kari, but you're talking about what we can't see as well. here's a view of the bay bridge. we can't see the bay bridge. you can see the toll plaza from emeryville. that's what people are driving into across your bay area span and throughout the north bay in patches. be careful. there's our road weather index, north of san rafael and through san rafael, we do have the clouds. we should see the fog on our camera. we'll check that. the issue for 24, no lanes are blocked but we are looking at a

little slow drive. that typically happens around the warren interchange. coco county getting in just fine. cash lanes opening. we should see that ease in time for the build and metering lights just before 5:30. south bay clear for speeds. by clear, i mean clear flow of traffic but watch for patches of fog for the bay, especially the north bay and golden gate bridge where it continues to impede your view of the span itself. >> thanks, mike. coming up, a possible solution to fight climate change. check out this new three-wheeled car that is all electric. it's hitting the streets of one of california's cities but it's not a family car. >> won't work for me. as the markets try to recover from an absolute drubbing on wednesday. laura? coming up, a warning before you put on that halloween costume. the reason health officials are telling people not to really get

mike traffic tease good thursday morning. it's 5:12. we're watching out for low clouds and patchy fog this morning. we're seeing that right now as we take a live look outside in san jose. let's get to the neighborhood of evergreen in east san jose. it will be in the mid-50s. normally we're seeing highs in the low 70s. we'll already be there by 1:00 today so we'll be much warmer. we'll talk about what's coming

up for the weekend. that's ahead in less than five minutes. we're going into the fog -- or out of the fog right here. san mateo bridge. in the foregrand you see the flat section but you cannot see the high rise. the low clouds drifting around the bay. we'll see if it is presenting a problem in the north bay. 5:13 on your thursday morning. some really tough numbers here. the dow fell 608 points on wednesday. that's enough to erase all of the dow's gains for the year. smaller numbers but bigger percentages on the nasdaq. wells fargo shuffling executives as it continues to deal with scandals at that bank. and then twitter, one of several tech companies reporting profits today. we'll talk more about twitter in a second. let's take a look at the market's losses. i mentioned the dow turned negative for the year. the s&p 500 erased all of its gains as well. can you see those are fractions of a single percent to the negative but still negative. nasdaq so far has held onto gains.

about 3% in 2018. now, you'll hear the president blame rising interest rates, but what we've really seen are mediocre quarterly reports from companies. every three months companies who offer stock have to open their books to investors. it's only fair. and we're right in the middle of the earnings season right now. intel, alphabet, amazon all report today. san francisco's twitter releasing numbers right now ahead of the opening bell, saying it lost 9 million users. that's breathtaking, but it says a majority of those were actually bots. twitter is cleaning up its act but it's hurting the numbers. and tesla also opening up its books and it made a profit. you see, tesla makes money. you know, there's a little asterisk. profit for the quarter. tesla has never made a profit for the full year. tesla says its low-cost model 3 will not be available until next year. this is the car that everyone's waiting for, the $35,000 model. tesla needs to hurry. some of the federal tax

incentives that make the car that inexpensive run out soon. on wednesday "consumer reports" panned the tesla x and tesla suv on the bottom rungs for reliability. you can buy a tesla but getting a tesla fixed is another matter. there just aren't enough repairmen out there. >> which is why they just recently linked up with evergreen college. >> to try to generate more workers. >> try to build their own pool. we'll see. it's 5:15 right now. new this morning, it looks like nothing else on the road only has three wheels, seats one person. new electric car dealership called solo now open in studio city. it is the first in the country. the company said it decided to launch in california because of its acceptance of electric cars and the high volume of traffic. solo car's maximum speed is 88 miles an hour with a maximum range of 100 miles. the price tag, $16,000.

>> $16,000? >> uh-huh. that's what it says. >> can i fit my groceries in there? i mean, anything -- >> just to get to work and home. >> it's interesting because it's got a front -- the front end's kind of wide but the back end's not. >> are you body-shaming that car? >> very weird looking. all right. >> i would drive it, if it has the leg room i need. >> i don't know if you'd fit in there. >> i'm not going 80 in that car. >> it looked really small. >> no kidding. >> so, we're just going through the commute this morning. here's what some of the drivers have to deal with. some patchy, dense fog. i hit that dense fog in the tri-valley this morning. livermore down to a quarter of a mile visibility. allow extra time to get to work. things might start to slow down. also around santa rosa, we're seeing low visibility. elsewhere the fog is just a little higher than the roadways, so we're seeing much higher visibility in some of those areas. temperatures are warmer, too,

compared to yesterday. but it's still a cool start with some low to mid-50s, even upper 50s for the inner bay. as you're getting ready to head out around pleasant hill, heading to the b.a.r.t. station, it will be partly to mostly cloudy and some low 50s throughout the next several hours. and then it will be warming up into the upper 60s at 11:00. low 70s at noon. take the lunch outside. before you head out this morning around foster city on your way for a workout, it will be partly cloudy and looking at some mid-50s. you may want to head to the gym. it will be another cool start. as we head through the day, a lot more comfortable once that sun breaks out. as you're getting ready, allow some extra time because humidity right now at 100%. if you don't have the time to go through it several times with the flat iron, just put it in a ponytail and go. it's going to be a humid start but a dryer afternoon. and it will be breezy, too. our high temperatures reaching 80 in san jose. it will be a little warmer than yesterday as well heading over towards the tri-valley.

danville reaching 85 degrees. 74 in oakland. 72 in san mateo today. in san francisco, some upper 60s in the embarcadero reaching 67. 76 today in sonoma. as we head through the forecast, we have high pressure that will be moving in. that causes the air to sink. as it does so, it warms up. it will be a warmer friday and saturday, but then cooling off on sunday once these storm systems roll into the north, we'll see a shift in the wind. more of a northwesterly wind bringing back our cool, oceanaire. if you're looking for something to do on saturday, mike loved this picture of the dog dressed up. there's a halloween dog festival at jack london square. it's going to be a nice weekend for it with some mostly sunny skies and reaching into the low 70s. we'll talk about more of what's going on coming up in a few minutes. mike, nothing major on the roads right now. >> looks like that pug should have listened to your frizz forecast. we're looking at the bay and nothing major going on.

that's great news for your morning commute. it's either a great time to leave or you could stick around a little longer and watch more of our news. good stuff. over here we're looking at a smooth drive from the altamont pass. i'm calling out contra costa county with an easy drive. recovery from the construction zone approaching hercules for west 80. this is our road weather index. we tie together the traffic and weather. it's indicating you may have issues with visibility. maybe some fog. sure enough, san rafael camera does show we can't see the entire curve of roadway so it's just visible for a few hundred yards. kari is talking about quarter mile, half mile in many patches through napa and sonoma county. so far, light traffic flow means everyone can manage just find. we are looking at already the start from vallejo, highway 37 will only grow from here.

out-of-pocket medical costs. that's according to a new study by the health care cost institute. it actually compared patient costs with employee-sponsored health plans by metro area. san jose topped that list as the most expensive along with anchorage, alaska. costs for each city runs 65% above the national average. people in san francisco and oakland pay nearly 50% above average. we spoke with one woman who says she was billed $800 after taking her daughter to urgent care for flu treatment. >> what's stopping them from charging 10, 15 times? it was all really arbitrary and clearly not necessarily related to the actual cost of providing the service. >> the study looked at more than 100 metro areas. baltimore, for example, pays 33% below the national average. we actually asked some local health care providers about the higher costs but no one managed to get back to us. with less than two weeks until the november midterm, san

jose leaders are asking former "t" to be passed. a news conference will be later today. that measure would invest $650 million in emergency preparedness, road repaving and replacing earthquake vulnerable bridges. there's a lot of issues on the ballot this elections and we have broken them down for you online. you can check out the voter guide at nbcbayarea.com. click on the election tab at the top of the screen. it will take you right to that section. 5:37 right now. let's take a live look outside. oracle arena buzzing about steph curry's epic game against washington. if the game wasn't such a blowout, he might have dropped 100. instead he just went nuts for three quarters. he lit it up in the first and third quarters with 23 and 20 points. he ended, get this, his oracle career high, 51, including 11 three-pointers. and then he sat out the fourth quarter. he kind of earned that.

taking game 144-122. what a superstar. >> that was outstanding. i do have to say -- let's be realistic about this. 11 three-pointers, but i think all of them were on the offensive half of the court. i don't think he shot any from backcourt. we'll see. steph has to up that game as well. maybe he'll shoot from san jose where there's a crash. nothing else going on besides one crash northbound, which had a quick traffic break. north 101 where the traffic break at mckee for a couple of seconds, all lanes were reported blocked. i got a little worried. then they said down to two. two northbound lanes are blocked and a little slowing coming up from storey road. the second crash at storey wasn't a crash. they waved it off. usually folks call in and they get the location wrong and they have to check it up. that's the backup at north 101. if you get on north of oakland road, you're completely in the clear heading up the rest of the

peninsula. the bay bridge, a little slow from the top. >> there we go. about that time of the day, when the backups begin. >> yep. but we're still looking ahead to a clear coast to the weekend. >> it will be a nice weekend for the bay area. really expecting some summer-like temperatures. as you start out on friday, maybe you're going to the halloween festival in alameda. this is going to be a place where you find some of the cooler weather, some upper 60s as we go throughout the afternoon and then dropping back into the lower 60s. on saturday, all across the bay area, looking at some low 80s inland. some mid-70s for the bay and the coast at a comfortable 70 degrees. on sunday, that's when the cooling begins. our temperatures drop down to 74 degrees inland. the bay at 70 degrees. and also a little bit cooler and windy for the coast with some mid-60s. so, are you going to the cal game in berkeley? that's going to be where you can find some highs and low 70s.

where police, atf, fbi have all responded to some sort of bombing investigation. not clear why. but they have loaded some sort of package into that -- what you see in the center of your screen right there. w we've seen them all gear up intact cin tactical gear. it was believed to be a package in the postal system addressed to former vice president joe biden. we saw a similar suspicious package arrive at the offices of actor -- what are believed to be the offices of actor robert de niro in new york. they took that package in a similar contraption as well out to the bronx. we're expecting that they'll probably detonate it. we're keeping tabs on that breaking news. more on "today in the bay." a school threat in contra costa county. what officials are telling us this morning. brand-new video of two people riding an electric scooter next to a san diego trolley.
