good morning. thank you for joining us. i'm scott mcgrew. >> i'm laurwyer scratching off turning them into 9s. >> here we are, 2019 and off to a cold start. >> very cold. it kicked off last night. we were under a widespread microclimate alert, but not so much this morning. this is right now what san francisco looks like. 48 degrees. wind speeds are 6 miles per hour. notice the skies waking up to very clear conditions. no fog to worry about last night, which was definitely great news for the fireworks. if you're near elevations of 1,000 feet, you will continue to see those gusty conditions. that's i wouwhy we're under tha

alert. we are seeing gusty conditions upwards of 30 miles per hour in through the 10:00 a.m. hour. overall our temperatures will once again be rather cool. our overnight lows will dip back into the 30s. let's check the roads right now. a look at your speed sponsors. the chp reports a couple of minor fender bernds ovn ebender. nothing to impact your morning commute. from 580 to vargas road, 11 minutes. this is a beautiful shot of how shaky that camera continues to be. some areas are still gusty this morning. keep both hands on the wheel if you're driving on those bridges. breaking news in downtown san jose. an old victorian home with apartments inside went up in flames. >> tom jenson is there live.

i assume everybody made it out okay? >> good morning. happy new year. definitely not a happy new year for the people who live in this converted victorian. a five plex. it looks like the fire started in this corner apartment. the ten nantd ants will not be to return until they determine it is safe. two san jose fire departments responded to this fire. fire was shooting through the roof of these apartments. it started there and the tenants who lived there told "today in the bay" they had no idea how it started. >> we just noticed the alarm. then my mom woke me up. all of a sudden we saw the smoke. right away we got out. >> was the apartment full of smoke when you woke up? >> not right at first. pretty quickly as soon as we got out the smoke was building up

quickly. >> a battalion chief on the scene also said he has no idea what caused the fire or where it started. everyone here just happy that everyone got out safe. nobody was injured in this fire. they are in mop-up phase right now. we hope to have more determination on what caused the fire and where it started. one thing that they will be looking at is the fireworks that tenants tell me were going off right outside here at about midnight last night. just after the new year was rung in. live in san jose, thom jensen. there's a big concern about illegal fireworks in 2019 and in previous years as well. cities are really trying to get rid of them. here you see some illegal fireworks there. police are offering in san jose

a new way to report violators online. just snap a foet to pophoto and anonymously. >> these are not little firecrackers or sparklers. these are aerial explosives that are shot up hundreds of feet in the air and explode with a lot of percussion and over and over and over again. >> and these may have started a house fire. fines for illegal fireworks with start at $500. selling illegal fireworks can lead to a 50,000 fine and jail time. starting today your pg&e bills are going up. they say because natural gas prices are rising. the move comes after cal fire investigators found the pg&e caused some of the northern california wildfires.

federal prosecutors weighing in on whether pg&e can face criminal charges over the camp fire. downed power lines are a prime suspect for starting that wildfire along with many others in northern california the past few years. the utility already on probation from the san bruno gas pipeline explosion in 2010 and u.s. attorneys filed papers today saying if pg&e's reckless operation or maintenance of its power lines started a wildfire, pg&e may have violated a condition of its probation. the utility issued a statement saying it's assessing its infrastructure to enhance safety and protect customers from increasing threats of wildfire. happening tomorrow, people in the east bay could see water prices rise. it is only if the contra costa water board approves the measure. if adopted rate also rise starting in february. the board will discuss exactly how much that will cost customers, but some on the board floated the idea about

generating a 6% revenue increase. just about anybody with a 401(k) will be happy to see 2018 in the rearview mirror. stocks over the year sustained their worst losses in a decade since the peak of the mortgage mel meltdown in 2018. for the year, the dow lost 5.5%. s&p 500 lost 6%. the losses were nowhere near 2008 when the index lost 30% of its value. this is the first time in three years the s&p 500 and the dow have ended lower. nasdaq snapped a five-year winning streak. if you're counting down, a little under three hours to the start of the 130th rose parade on nbc. >> we have new video from southern california where a lot of people are waking up in those chilly conditions. people stay days out there camping out the best spot along the five-mile parade route. our crews spoke to some hearty souls who call the whole thing a

bonding experience. >> we have layers. we have a lot of nice, good sleeping bags. our fire. we have our heater over here. >> getting into the spirit with family. we like spending holidays together. it sounded like a good idea. it's fun. >> i came here from fresno. yeah. my grandmother lives out here. they live out here, so we just came for the week. >> the parade has always featured some incredible floats along with spirited marching bands, equestrian teams and all those flowers. it starts at 8:00 a.m. after an abbreviated one-hour the "today" show. >> i would say some of those folks had a nice setup. they had a little fire going. not bad. right now temperatures here are still cold. 43 in napa. we have some 30s on the map. 32 in mountain view. wind speeds still guesting in the hill top areas. napa, 19 miles per hour. you can see where we were this

hour yesterday. wind advisories for the north bay mountains is still in effect through 10:00 a.m. because of that you need to be mindful. let's look at mount diablo, 72-mile-per-hour gusts were clocked yesterday during that very, very gusty day. new year's eve was gusty. some 68-mile-per-hour winds:00ed on mt. st. helena. saint ta cla santa clara at 43 minneapolis. and sfo at 44 miles per hour. san jose university, 41-mile-per-hour winds. it was a gusty day. today we expect winds to diminish into the afternoon for a much breezier day ahead. it will still be cool. only topping out in the 50s. let's see how the roads are doing out there. i want to say this crash just popped up right here. hopefully it's nothing serious.

i will look at the chp reports and see what that is about. a check of your peninsula drive time, southbound 101, looking at 11 minutes. southbound 101 from sfo to highway 92, 5 minutes. from highway 101 to bowers avenue, 20-minute commute. the bay bridge, we're on record now. almost five days consecutively of seeing no metering lights on. always good. >> a total of seven cars. are you ready for this? texas millionaire rides into a restaurant on a horse. it's not the start of a joke, but you've definitely heard of this guy >> and a look at a more comfortable mammogram. the move to minimize pain. >> and a word of warning before you embrace a celebrity-endorsed diet in the new year. you're watching "today in the bay." the "me-too movement" is

if you're awake, that's probably because you went to sleep early like we did. it's still cold and windy up to the hill top areas. look at the temperatures for the next couple of hours. still in the 30s for san jose. jumping up into the 40s by 9:00 a.m. we expect another cool afternoon with some breezy conditions continuing for the first day. i'll break down when our next chance of seeing rain is. will that affect some of your future plans? probably. now a check on the roads.

this is the san mateo bridge. we have more cars out there on the road. it is still windy. any time you are on the bridges keep both hands on the wheel and slow it down out there. i'll have another update coming up in a bit. it's 5:13 right now. the me too movement is ushering in new laws in california. companies can no longer force employees to settle sexual harassment complaints or sign nondisclosure agreements. workers will be required to undergo sexual harassment training twice a year. now victim also have up to ten years to seek civil damages from a sexual assault. a new year, a new law about marijuana. starting today people can petition to overturn or reduce past convictions for possessing, growing and distributing marijuana. more than 200,000 cases could be affected. also a pair of laws limits the prosecution of minors for marijuana possession. you have to be 1 year 12 years older to be prosecuted in

comfort is the fact we're able to obtain a high resolution, the highest resolution image available on the market today with this equipment. >> you still have to be compressed. but experts say it's much less painful than the typical mammogram. new this morning when you're one of the world's richest people there are a lot of options. >> take amazon founder jeff bezos. here's how he spent his new year's eve entering an aspen, colorado store on horseback. he is getting a lot of attention because he seems like such a natural horse rider and he's riding a horse inside the store. his net worth is about $24 million in -- 24 billion in 2018. i guess this is how you celebrate. you have 24 billion, you can do whatever you want. >> can you? is that one of those amazon go stores? >> you can just buy the store. that's fine, too. >> that's an extra level. that's like okay.

>> i'll do whatever i want. >> my goodness. >> i've ridden a horse, never walked it into a store. i'm not much of an outdoor person when it's windy. what about you guys? did you stay indoors? >> the dogs love to go out for walks. i had to bundle up and go. >> it was chilly. windy, cold. my dog did not want to go outside. he had to. i had to say come on, let's handle your business. let's get this moving. right now in san francisco, 48 degrees. wind speeds, notice the difference from yesterday. we are nice and light. only about 6 miles per hour. it's pretty clear out there, we're not dealing with any cloud cover or fog this morning. however just a little reminder. lake tahoe under a lake wind advisory. the winds were gusting up so strong, still are, some of those resorts had to close down, which was unfortunate for a lot of people up there. just a reminder this will remain in effect through 10:00 a.m. for today. i wanted to showcase some of the 24-hour peak gusts.

mount diablo, 72-mile-per-hour winds clocked. mt. st. helena, 68 miles per hour. santa clara at 48 miles per hour. current temperatures are still chilly. 32 degrees in mountain view. 41 in san jose. 33 in santa cruz. 42 in napa. we expect to keep gusty conditions for the north bay mountains. the east bay hills and we are under a microclimate alert for those areas because of the continuing winds. winds will diminish after 10:00 a.m. the rest of the bay area is doing good. we will not be concerned about it. it will still be breezy. by 9:00, 10:00 a.m., the winds will be decreasing up in the hill top areas. that's when that wind advisory is set to expire. for today, temperatures topping

out into the 50s once again. 53 degrees in san jose. 57 in oakland. 56 for palo alto. 55 for san francisco. the next chance for seeing rain will move in right in time for your weekend. whatever you have planned this weekend, pay attention. we are still monitoring this system. it's a coastal system off the coast. as far as the timing goes and the rainfall totals, that will probably change as we inch closer as we head in towards tomorrow night. i will monitor it regardless. wind advisory today. temperatures remain in the mid 50s. through thursday we remain dry. rain chances on friday. we might keep that system lingering all the way through the start of the work week. temperatures will remain in the 50s. we're seasonable for this time of year. another thing to notice, if you thought it was really cold overnight, those patchy, frosty nights will remain with us for the next two, three days. overnight lows dropping down

into the 30s. keep your pets inside. continue to protect your plants, play it safe out there. let's check the roads now. this looks like a minor fender bender. but i saw one pop up over here. let's see what that is about. hopefully again everybody is playing it safe. peninsula drive times have been smooth. van ness to sfo, 11 minutes. southbound 101 from sfo to highway 92, 5 minutes. i'll have another update coming up in a bit. >> 5:19. next in news, the big announcement about one of netflix's biggest hits. not easy to say. >> first nbc bay area responds. >> you can shop around for a car or a refrigerator, now for surgery. the new tool available today to help you save on hospital costs

all you need is the code for the procedure you're curious about. the good news is medical codes are pretty much universal. you can ask your doctor or the hospital for the billing code you need. once you got that code, you can see how one hospital stacks up against another. we will do some price comparisons at bay area hospitals today, we'll share what we learned tonight at 6:00. if you encounter a medical billing problem, let us know, 888-996-tips or visit nbcbayarea.com/responds. i'll see you again tonight at 6:00. >> thank you. a lot of people resolving to lose weight and a lot of them will follow the next diet trend. >> not everyone sticks to that weight loss resolution, but celebrities are offering advice on how they stay fit this year. kelly clarkson lost 40 pounds by reading the book plant paradox.

significantly. yesterday it was very gusty. highlighted areas still seeing gusty winds, upwards of 35 miles per hour. that will remain through 10:00 a.m. as far as the lower elevation areas, the wind advisory for that did expire last night at 9:00 p.m. again, it's still going to be very chilly out there. now let's check the roads. i do have an update for you on a couple of those crashes that i told you i would look into. we have one on the map. the great news out of this crash, there are no lanes blocked. you might see it if you're approaching or driving through this area. southbound 280, that has moved off to the right hand shoulder. no issues there. we have another crash. this one is causing some delays. west downed near cory road. a couple vehicles off to the side. one of those vehicles may be flipped upside down on its roof. hopefully everybody is okay. i'm assuming we have a lot of those looky loos out there. it doesn't appear to be blocking

increase in 2022 and 2025. live in san francisco, pete suratos for "today in the bay." strong winds likely played a role in a deadly boating accident in san francisco bay yesterday afternoon. a sail boat capsized near sausalito. rescuers pulled a man and woman from the water. only the woman survived. neither was wearing a life jacket. investigators are trying to determine how a body ended up in a landfill east of livermore. deputies were called to the waste management facility yesterday afternoon. they're not saying if the body is that of a man or a woman or the cause of death. it was likely the body was placed in the trash in another city and transported to the landfill where workers discovered it. kevin spacey must show up to his arraignment in court today. the "house of cards" actor is charged with indecent assault and battery. a teenager accused that actor of groping him two years ago.

spacey's lawyer tried to get him out of the arraignment but the judge denied that. spacey expected to plead not guilty. 2019, new laws always come with the new year. sam brock explains what changes there are today. >> the me too movement was more than a cultural awakening, it signaled the urgency to act for one of the country's most progressive states. >> california will take the lead for the rest of the nation to show how robust sexual harassment and other discrimination protections can be. >> jessica works for equal rightsed a vo ka ed a vadvocate francisco. >> it addresses some of the sneaky tactics we have seen employers use to silence workers and to keep them from being able to file sexual harassment and other workplace claims.

>> california witnessed more gun violence tragedy. bringing communities to their knees. >> this doesn't happen anywhere else on planet earth. >> as gavin newsom steps into the governor's office, the gun laws are about to tighten. the legal age for buying long guns like rifles or shotguns jumps from 18 to 21 and bump stocks will be officially banned. other laws taking effect january 1st, all mail ballots must be prepaid by municipalities. customers can only get a plastic straw by request at restaurants. minimum wage raises to $12 for most companies and motorized scooters don't require a helmet for those 18 and over. that leeway leafs some leaves some uneasy. >> when you're on a bicycle, you have whatever you're wearing to protect you. the fact that a helmet is not mandatory is mind boggling. >> sam brock, nbc bay area news. despite the new law, all

scooter riders are recommended to wear a helmet. the department of public health is studying the number of people injured while not wearing a helmet using nontraditional transportation. we'll look at those results coming up in six months. the new year could mean a much richer you. the mega millions jackpot has jumped $415 million. that makes it the eighth largest jackpot in history. it's been a record breaking year. in october you will remember there's a $1.5 billion pot up for grabs. that ticket has yet to come forward. friday was the last drawing of 2018. nobody matched all six numbers. so the pot rolls over to tonight's big drawing. it is 5:36 right now. a quick check of your traffic conditions. we started off fairly quiet. i wanted to give you an update on that crash i was following earlier. there we go. let's see if i can zoom in on this. i have great news. it looks like the crash along

482, i said chp was reporting the vehicle on its rooftop. they report it as a no-injury crash. it seems like everybody is okay. but it looks like we're still picking up slowing through that area. i would imagine they're slowing down on the scene as they work to clear that out. that's one issue. aside from that, the bridge drive times have been moving along smoothly. bay bridge, 7 minutes from westbound 80. look at westbound 82 towards san mateo bridge, only 13 minutes. i have not seen the bridges this slow -- y shgsdid. it's been a quiet morning where we hope everybody made it home safely. we never like to report bad accidents the day after new year's eve. >> or ever. >> exactly. is. now you're looking forward to the next weekend. >> next weekend, you have to dig out that umbrella again. >> yeah.

>> will be a downpour? >> that's what we're money touring now. the development of the system seems like it will linger around for a while. that may cause some issues for us. originally it's a coastal system. so that means the timing of it will change as it approaches. it looks like it will be a slower moving system. so it will linger into the work week. that brings us a greater chance of seeing higher rain totals. coast, bay, inland, morning showers. the reason for that is because that system will move in on friday night. those overnight lows will dip down into the 40s. saturday's forecast looking like a wet one. as far as the daytime highs, topping out in the 50s. the rain again might actually linger into the start of your work week. for sunday, similar conditions expected. temperatures topping out into the mid 50s for the coast and upper 50s for inland areas. yes, we're keeping the rain on the map through the entire weekend.

so, here's another excuse to not wash your car. that's okay. >> i just did it yesterday. >> no, laura. >> that's okay. it's not even clean. it really needed it with all those kids. coming up, nature calls. people on the way to yosemite can't hold it. why they're using the bathroom because of the government shutdown. i'm working hard for you. i'm fighting for you. we'll win. we'll win all the way. we'll win at everything we do. happy new year. >> plus president trump promises a good 2019. we'll show you the rest of his new year's eve address. a drink with friends can turn into two, and a prescription can be stronger than you thought. stop! there are a lot of ways to get a dui.

of dogs, cats and rabbit they can sell. starting today you can only buy those animals at pet stores if they came from rescues or shelters. the new law aims to crack down on puppy mills which the humane society says supplies 99% of the dogs to pet stores every year. it's also designed to clear overcrowded shelters. >> so many little guys just need love. that's the benefit. >> the pet industry joint advisory counsel does not support the law saying it risks jobs and denies californians their choice of a pet. the new law only applies to pet stores. you can still buy a dog or a cat or a rabbit from a breeder. that's not only law arriving with the new year. starting today new cars will no longer have paper license plates as they come out of the dealership. buyers will drive off the lot with a numbered temporary plate that is linked to the dmv

database. they can goare good for 90 days and california restaurants will only provide drinki ining straws when customers request them. overseas many around the world are interpreting something north korea's leader said as a possible threat. in tim jong-un's new years address he said he is willing to denuclearize but only if the united states takes action as well. he said he would start a new path if the u.s. keeps making unilateral demands. it's unclear what the new path would be. 5:44 right now. president trump is wishing americans a happy new year, he posted a new video overnight from the white house. >> i just wanted to wish you a very, very happy new year. it's going to be a great year. complicated, but great. you're doing so well as a country. we need, however, borders. you don't have borders, you don't have a country. we don't want drug traffickers,

human traffickers, illegal people with criminal records to come in our border patrol, i.c.e. agents, military, we've done great. you can never do it perfectly unless you have a wall. we have to have a wall as part of border security. we're working on it. >> the video runs more than two minutes. the government shutdown in its 11th day with both sides digging in over funding for that wall. speaking of that shutdown, when it comes to the shutdown, you might say it's simply stinkstor visitstink s for visitors to yosemite. the park like some bay area parks has closed its restroom facilities, there's nobody there to clean them. that meant more droppings left along the roadside. it's not bears. this has back a problem to the point where two campgrounds are closed because of public health

reasons. the park is urging visitors to go before you get there. the time of year when we see and hear a lot about angels. the next story is about angels who operate year-round. >> they're helping cancer patients in a unique and beautiful way. garvin thomas shares a story about lipstick angels in "bay area proud." >> the star of our story is kerry stimson, she said she started a number of different careers but always came back to makeup. it's just her passion. what makes her part of a bay area proud story is she's using that passion to do good. >> just relax. >> reporter: to understand why kerry is here at this cancer center doing makeup for patients receiving treatment -- >> you do have lovely skin. >> reporter: you have to understand kerry's core belief about makeup. >> i will go with this. >> reporter: it's not about
