device was found at a new york west side facility, also a postal facility. roads in that area we know that are shut down. police and bomb squad are responding. >> the source at nbc says it appears to be similar devices sent. we go to a special report from nbc news. police discovered suspicious packages connected to the string of mail. pete alexander, i understand it two additional packages discovered. >> within the past hour. the first was found at a mail sorting facility in florida, the one that's been the focus of so much attention over the past 12 hours or so. we're told it was addressed to

cory booker, an address he has in camden, new jersey, but it was intercepted at the mail distribution center and the second one found a short time ago in midtown manhattan at a mail processing center, this one we're told was addressed to the former director of national intelligence, james clapper. you may recall that earlier this week another package was found that had been addressed to john brennan, the former cia director, so both of them had been critical of the trump administration. so it had been 24 hours since any packages were discovered, and authorities were hopeful that that would be that, although they said they couldn't be sure and more have been found but the good news here is they're finding them in the mail distribution centers before they go any further toward their intended addressees. >> pete, we recall former director brennan, his package went actually to cnn, because the center erroneously thought he was a commentator there. did james clapper's go to an

office address or to another media outlet looking for him? >> i don't know what the address says on the package. so i don't know at what address it was intended to be delivered, but that's a good question and one that we'll pursue. >> the other thing is, i'm sure they're just trying to reverse engineer all of this, but one wonders if these were a bunch of packages, i guess we're up to 11 or 12 now all sent at the same time, and are just being discovered piecemeal or whether there's the possibility still out there that there was an initial batch sent and that this sender is still sending them. >> right, so the complicating thing is, because we know the first of them arrived on monday. that was the one to george so s soros'house. many of the packages were sent back to the return address and going back and forth in the system. they went toward their destination and then they were starting to be sent back again, so it's a little difficult to

tell at this point, for example, the cory booker package we were unable to determine this morning whether that was on its way up to new jersey when it was disrupted or intercepted or whether it was coming back down to that phony address of congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz which is on all the packages. we don't know yet whether these were still outbound or coming back. >> so many questions, of course, and the hunt is on. pete williams, sit tight. we'll be back to you with more details. for the moment we go back to msnbc and msnbcnews.com. for most of you, more news straight ahead. i'm savannah guthrie and this has been a special report. >> thanks for joining us on "today in the bay." 6:03, i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. mike will have a look at traffic in a moment. first a look at what it's like outside. >> much different picture compared to yesterday. in fact yesterday we had some widespread fog and low clouds

across the bay area. today it's all clear. here is a look at that clear shot from at&t park, toward the embarcadero and we are going to see some mostly sunny skies. san jose looking good. but it does feel cool, we're in the lower 50s now, but we'll be in the mid fefts -70s by early afternoon as the temperatures briefly hit 80s for the high today. in antioch 82 and in oakland 74. we'll be up to 80 today in santa rosa. so more on this in a few minutes, and mike, you are still tracking the slowdown coming through the tri valley. >> we still have the traffic alert which happened near the beginning of our show. chp estimates 6:30 or the original estimate when they would have this cleared, this crash and overturned vehicle. no major injuries reported, but a major issue, nails scattered across 680. that's the report, so we haven't had a real update from them. they're busy i'm sure at the scene and in the last 20 minutes we see a backup starting to grow on your approach toward 84 and 84 out of pleasanton and across

in toward niles. likely that is the escape route some folks are taking. lot of folks are probably taking it. it's about a 20-minute delay right now. 20 minutes longer than your drive from danville down in toward the fremont area so keep that in mind. another option for you is here the castro valley y which picks up volume but nothing major because it is friday. we'll track it here and the backup at the bay bridge. back to you, laura. >> thank you very much, mike. at 6:05, right now we bring you up to speed on the developing situation unfolding south of the border. this massive migrant caravan headed to the united states. here is the latest. there are reports from overnight the trump administration is looking at options to restrict their ability to enter the u.s. that includes an exclusive order to close america's southern border to all immigrants, including asylum seekers. at least 800 active duty troops are also expected to be sent to the border. earlier this morning, president trump tweeted "to those in the

caravan, turn around. we are not letting people into the united states illegally." parents say they are going for their children's futures. >> we're looking for a better future, trying to look for a job, looking for the best. >> their story making headlines across the country, and here in the bay area, some teenagers are working to help the migrants. now let's bring in "today in the bay's" kris sanchez, she is in berkery where a lot of people are gathered today. kris? >> reporter: good morning to you, marcus and laura. the caravan of migrants moving toward the u.s. border is also moving bay area students to do something about it. group called [ speaking in foreign language ] the translation of strong voices is organizing a fund-raising concert at the presbyterian church in berkeley tonight. this is video of the students rehearsing for a concert. it is happening tonight with all

proceeds going to benefit the migrant clinicians network. that's the organization that serves immigrant families in detention centers while they seek asylum. the organizing students tell us they can't just watch this humanitarian crisis unfold. >> this is a world we're inheriting and it's important for young people to get used to fighting for what we want. >> i think the biggest thing for me was finding a place for us to like put our anger, because just like with anything else, if you're just going to be angry and not do anything with it, you're not helping. >> i think this is a great way for people in the community to come together and show our support to the families and children that are struggling down at the border. >> reporter: now the goal is to raise $10,000 tonight. doors open at 7:00 for the event donations will be accepted at the door. or make the donation online as well.

of those abused prescription drugs were obtained from medicine cabinets inside the homes of family and friends. so again, you can find the event closest to you on the dea's website. we'll have a link on our website nbcbayarea.com. just put in your zip code or city and county, and the event is from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. tomorrow. is sort of a tight window but hopefully once people are out and about on their saturday mornings, they can stop by. it's no questions asked so just drop off drugs you don't need, and get your house safe. >> exactly. >> dispose of them in the proper way. >> exactly, that's important as well, thank you. at 6:36, new this morning, one city in the east bay is writing a new chapter for bookworms. tomorrow the city of hayward is celebrating the grand opening of its new library. you can see what the old location across the street looks like. it was built in the '50s. certainly outdated there, the new library a modern three-story facility that will house 250,000

the atmosphere. we're starting out with some temperatures in the mid-50s there. it will be in the mid-40s as you step out the tdoor in santa ros. let's get out the door for the morning drive in martinez. it's going to be in the low 50s. all clear skies, no worries about the patchy, dense fog like we had yesterday. we go from the low 50s to the 70s, even some upper 70s by early afternoon today, and then if you're going for a workout on your way out to the gym in burlingame this morning, look for temperatures in the mid-50s. we will see a few clouds in the mix here and there, but overall, a very nice day and a slower warmup. we'll be in the upper 60s by 1:00. and it's almost time to wake up the kids in san jose, get ready for school. it's going to be in the low 50s as you walk to school and go through the drop-off line and we're going to see those temperatures going from the low 50s to the low 70s in the south bay, eventually briefly hitting about 80 degrees today for the high. concord reaching 86 degrees and

74 in oakland. san francisco reaching 70 degrees. as you wake up and about to get dressed this morning and standing in front of the closet, it's a good morning to make sure you cleaned off the sunglasses, they're ready to go for the day and you'll probably be comfortable wearing shorts and it's almost november and we're talking about breaking out the summer gear. here is the reason why. we have high pressure that causes us to not have a strong ocean breeze or onshore wind flow. the winds flowing around that coming in from the north. as we go into the next couple of days, very dry and warm for this time of year. but there will be some changes by the end of the week into the weekend. this area of low pressure and this cold front dips in and the rain dips farther into the far northwestern corner of the state. it won't make it to the bay area but we will get some clouds and cooler air by sunday into monday, and then high pressure returns right behind that by the middle of next week. our temperatures going up and down, if you have travel plans to the pacific northwest this weekend, expect it to be rainy around portland as well as

seattle, while we continue on with our sunshine, and it's also going to be breezy especially between sunday and monday, as we go from those warm temperatures to cool air, and then back up on halloween, 80 degrees for wednesday. headed over to mike you have a welcome update for the tri valley. >> we're looking at the word from chp, all clear as you travel over here. so we're looking at sensors building, typical patterns except for here in the tri valley. zooming in, we will see quick recovery starting over here. we do already. we see our sensors start to turn toward yellow and getting up to southbound 680, just jammed as you are traveling out of pleasanton and off of that dublin interchange. the issue is because of that crash and sig alert and debris all cleared from lanes, they did a final sweep. 84 is really jammed up and that may make things difficult for folks through the alvarado niles area. we'll stick with the maps for the rest of the air and looking to the area the dublin interchange you may still be better off going over here to the castro valley y. things are slowing through

hayward and with that recovery time if you're at home for another 10, 15 minutes and departing from that area, near cocoa county, you might probably just want to stick through sunol but stick with waze as well. we've been talking about that all morning. our team is nbc bay area wazers. they'll help you time it out. across the san mateo bridge we're seeing a typical build westbound is your commute direction but the peninsula is moving smoothly. the fast track lanes show the biggest build as you come out of the east bay off the berkeley curve and we're looking at perhaps if you brought cash, maybe a little faster through the area. >> that's interesting, use cash to get through quicker. thanks a lot. 6:51. first happening now, prince harry, meghan markle on the ground after a midair scare. their plane was forced to abort its landing seconds before touching the ground in sydney. another aircraft was on the runway. the couple's plane was just 125 feet from the ground when the pilot announced it just wasn't safe to land. the pilot ended up pulling up,
