outside, but it gives us a nice, clear view of downtown san jose right now. it's just seconds before 5:00. thank you for starting the morning with us. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm in for laura garcia. mike will have traffic in a moment but first we send it to vianey. i have the snowflake icon next to the temperature in my car. >> i'm afraid to see what my bill will be this month because i cranked up the heater two nights in a row. right now temperatures in the 30s. napa, 34. take a look at your temperature trend into the afternoon. once again it will be in the 50s but the clouds will roll in signifying a change in the forecast. we've teased to the rain and i'll have a closer look at that coming up shortly. first, a look at the roads with mike. >> green sensors all around. a couple of crashes we're tracking on the shoulder. a new crash over here may be in

lanes. this is westbound 80, your commute direction. the border, the little corner of el ycerita. here's the bay bridge. in washington, the new congress will be sworn in today. both parties have a list of things they want to get done. the "today" show's savannah guthrie sat down with soon-to-be speaker nancy pelosi. "today in the bay's" tracie potts is live on capitol hill with more on the shutdown and the interview you'll only see here on nbc. >> reporter: you'll see the full thing later this morning. we have a sneak peek at what incoming house speaker and bay area representative nancy pelosi had to say to savannah this morning about the priorities of the new democratically-controlled house, but especially about the

showdown over the shutdown. she tells savannah that the democrats will not give one dime to build this wall with mexico. that's the central issue right now between 800,000 federal workers and their paycheck. >> are you willing to come up and give him some money for the wall. >> no. >> because apparently that's the sticking point. >> nothing. we're talking about border security. there's no amount of persuasion he can do to say we want you to do something that's not effective, that cost billions of dollars, that sends the wrong message about who we are as a country. >> if you don't compromise, then why isn't the shutdown partially your responsibility as well? >> it has nothing to do with that. it has the president saying, i will hold six agencies of government hostage to my campaign promise that i was going to build a wall and that mexico was going to pay for it.

that is so ridiculous. >> what's it like to negotiate with president trump? >> when you're negotiating with someone, you have to know, you stipulate to some fact. it's hard to do that with the president because he resists science, evidence, data, truth. it's hard to pin the president down on the facts. i think and hope we can work together in a positive way now that the president's more acclimated to the facts that he's dealing with a democratic majority in the congress of the united states. >> reporter: also in that "today" show interview, pelosi not ruling out the possibility of impeachment for president trump. something we haven't heard in a bit. a lot of democrats saying they would like to steer clear of that. she will now preside over the most racially and ethically

diverse house of representatives in history with more women than we have ever seen in this new congress. they will be sworn in and begin their work today. that work begins with trying to get the government back open, back up and running again. >> a lot of work for them ahead. tracie potts reporting in washington. thank you. coming up in 45 minutes in our checks and balances segment, hear what pelosi had to say about the mueller investigation and talk of possible impeachment. you can watch savannah guthrie's full interview coming up on "today" at 7:00 right after "today in the bay." we have breaking news for you. a fire breaks out at a vallejo strip mall. can you check out the huge flames and crews working very hard there. a large fire response to a vacant straw hat pizza there. this is a restaurant on sonoma boulevard. no word on how it started. we have a crew at the scene asking those questions this

morning. of course, we'll bring you more information as soon as we get it. three of the bay area's best known tech companies are not liable for a deadly terror attack that happened in southern california. you may remember that's where a husband and wife together shot and killed 14 people during a holiday party. a judge in san francisco yesterday ruled the attack was want the direct result of any one company aiding and abetting isis nor providing resources to the terror group. new this morning, the numbers are out and they appear mixed. we're talking about violent crime statistics for two of the bay area's largest cities. in oakland it appears to be better than the bay area's largest city, san jose. nbc bay area is live at police headquarters in san jose with a look at those numbers.

damian. >> reporter: good morning. perhaps a surprise to many san jose once called itself the safest big city in america and now it's struggling to keep even the local title. the latest numbers in san jose show violent crime is up 6% over the year before, coupled with a projected 17% increase in burglaries. the police chief has said staffing remains a big part of the problem. the department is still 300 officers short of where it wants to be. that's still less than the national average per capita. oakland, however, is trending in the opposite direction. violent crime is down in oakl d oakland. robberies down 1%. rapes down 12%. residential burglaries have dropped by 20%. and car burglaries fell by 25%. even homicides dropped from 71 to 68 last year in oakland. the good news is -- the news is

so good, oakland leaders will hold a news conference later this morning to unveil these numbers. we are still waiting for the specific numbers in san francisco, but preliminary figures show violent crime is also down in that city. now, there is a silver lining here in san jose. the homicides dropped from 32 to 27 last year. shift change here takes place in about one hour and these officers will go out and fight crime with the staffing levels they've been handed. live in san jose, damian trujillo, nbc7 bay area. 5:07 and new this morning. a bad story that certainly could have been far worse for two passengers in an uber car yesterday. unfortunately, the driver of that car suffered a fatal heart attack at the wheel. this was on highway 101. rancho adobe firefighters posted this photo from the scene. they report the passengers

jumped from the car as they drove towards redwood trees. the car missed those trees and stopped shortly after. happening today, we'll get a look at the snowpack in california. the department of water resources is said to take its first official survey of the sierra snowpack. winter storms did well for our water supply last year, but this year it's expected to show levels a little lower than normal because california started the fall very dry but a series of storms in late november through december helped bring those levels closer to the average. some good news there, vianey. >> yeah. also good news is the incoming system on saturday is expected to also bring additional snowfall to the sierra, which is fantastic to see. your microclimate highs for today, we'll get another round of cool daytime highs and our temperatures will be topping out in the upper 50s. 59 degrees for san jose. morgan hills, 60 degrees. your east bay temperatures, 58

degrees for oakland in through the interior valleys topping out in the upper 50s. san mateo, 57. if you're heading into san francisco, we're expecting another breezier day but it will be a little cloudier than what we've seen. this is always kind of our first sign of changing weather ahead. up through the north bay ukiah, 58 degrees. novato, 56. i want to show you the radar. all that you see up here is not necessarily affecting us. we have affecting us a ridge of high pressure. if i zoom this in to give you a look at what we currently see, we have the storm ranger up and scanning. the reason we have it up and scanning is because of the incoming rain as we head into saturday and it will be here to give us the highest resolution as that rainfall makes its way through. let's get a check of the roads with mike. >> great to hear about your new year's resolutions on the maps. that was a graphics joke. it's all green. that's great stuff. we'll take you to the east shore

freeway. i was mistaken. it's not westbound. it's eastbound 80, countercommute. it's not a crash, just one cone in the lanes. we'll track it. we do see slowing right here. i'm a little confused why those sensors are showing up. i moved our camera in emeryville and we can catch the approach there westbound 80 coming up and out of the maze on the east shore freeway. a smooth drive for 580 and i-80. no problem. those speed sensors are sometimes just a tad under that speed limit and they show up orange. over here no problems either. the orange, international orange bridge, golden gate bridge looks good. 5:10. coming up here on "today in the bay," are you thinking of leaving california? you better not. but if you are, you are not alone here. the states where most people are relocating to and the top ones people are living. misery on wall street that will particularly affect silicon valley companies. ♪

cook said there were a problem, but one that set off alarm bells is cook's statement that sales were slowing in china. here's the line. cook, we did not foresee the magnitude of the economic deceleration, particularly in greater china. an economic slowdown in china would be a problem for all kinds of silicon valley companies. cook put some of the blame on the ongoing trade war between washington and beijing. shares in tesla fell 7% after that company said it made fewer cars than analysts expected and will lower the cost of its models by $2,000 partially to offset the big tax break for teslas is going away. tesla still made a record number of cars. can we go back to the stock ticker for a second? even as we go back and look at the stock prices and add up the big losses -- there they come -- tesla, when you add up all the value of these shares, tesla is

still more valuable than ford or general motors. donald trump yesterday said he thought all the problems on the stock market were a glitch, in his words. he also said the reason gas prices are falling because he called countries and told them to reduce the price of energy. now, i don't know if he did or he didn't, but when you look at gas prices historically, they're always significantly lower in the winter. every year. this is nothing new. winter last year, winter of two years ago, prices fell below $2 a gallon and rocketed up. the year before that, seven cents lower in the winter. so gas prices aren't entirely because of president trump, it happens every time this year. >> and there's the summer blend -- >> and it's not just california. this is nationwide. >> if anyone has the answer, it will be you. new this morning, people are constantly changing jobs or even retiring. and the moving company united vans says that these changes are

wanted. what do you say to santa? >> thank you! >> oh, my gosh. in case you missed that, it is a taco bell gift card. >> oh. >> her mom says it was the only thing natalie wanted for christmas this year. natalie says she's going to use it at her birthday party later this month, which she hopes to have at taco bell. where else? >> she likes taco bell. >> if she wanted to run for the border, wherever. >> adorable! >> that's excitement there. >> i wonder what her favorite food on the menu -- >> i want to know that. >> probably a plain taco. >> santa knows, that's what she really wanted. >> that was sweet. that made my morning so far. it warmed me up with the temperatures -- >> we need to be warmed. >> yeah, we do. san francisco, it looks beautiful -- >> some hot sauce. >> if she adds hot sauce to her food, more power to her.

i haven't added stuff since i was young. that's my girl. we have clear conditions but cold temperatures. 32 degrees in santa rosa right now. napa, 34. down through oakland, 36. hayward, 40. we're actually running just a couple of degrees warmer than we were yesterday. yesterday we had some 20s on the map. your microclimate highs for today will once again be comfortable, seasonable for this time of year. san jose, 59. milpitas, 57. in through the east bay, 58 degrees for oakland. danville, 59. concord, 58. 57 for san mateo. into the city it will also still be breezy. don't be surprised if you catch that breeze into the afternoon. ukiah, 58 degrees. let's talk about the big changes ahead. over san francisco we have pretty much clear conditions. you can see that storm system far off to the north. that's not affecting us. we still have the high pressure that's been keeping us dry and cold, hanging on tight over the bay area. changes are ahead which is why

we have launched our very own storm ranger. it's up and scanning in preparation for this storm system. this is expected to move in overnight friday through saturday with a passing front move through with the possibility of seeing thunderstorms and gusting conditions saturday. we'll get on and off again rain on sunday in through the afternoon. yes, the sierra snow, we're expecting good accumulations at 4,000 feet. estimated rain falls for saturday and sunday will be higher for the north bay. look at san jose, we'll catch some rain through the south bay as well. over the next seven days, here are the big changes you need to look out for. you'll need your umbrella and you're going to need to check the road conditions if you're heading up to tahoe because we're definitely expecting to see that wind really kick up. you don't want to get caught up in that traffic commute, right, mike? >> that's right. you know what i'm going to do, i'm going to tweet out the link to california highway conditions as well. you can always enter the highway

number and get whether there are restrictions or not. looking over here, no restrictions for our local freeways. these are moving nicely. a little slowing right at the san mateo bridge toll plaza. a few more cars moving there. there's a commute this morning but it's lighter than yesterday. we had hundreds of e-mail messages they had to clear. the bay bridge is showing a little more slowing up the incline. nothing major. over here the north bay we're zooming towards vallejo off highway 29. redwood street, that's the fire we've been tracking. we showed you that video coming in from the abandoned or vacant pizza shop. no delays coming into the area. getting away tonight -- this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon, it may be getting crowded. still light for the nimitz. coming up on "today in the bay," a first for mankind. new images this morning of china's successful mission to the dark side of the moon. plus, a daring rescue in southern california.

nicholas dunning. the inmate escaped around 6:30 yesterday morning. the camp is not fully enclosed because it's a minimum security prison -- or camp, i should say, for inmate firefighters. therefore, the lieutenant says he suspects dunning walked out off those grounds there. call 911 if you see him. to southern california where a man did everything he could to save a woman trapped in a car fire. look at that video. he said he was driving when he saw those flames. so, he pulled over, got out of his car, ran across several lanes of traffic on the freeway, jumped over the center divider and pulled the woman from the wreckage. >> her head was literally about one inch away from the flames. so, i grabbed her by the wrist and that is how i was able to pull her out because she was limp, knocked out. >> wow. he then uncovered -- covered, rather, the unconscious woman in a blanket until an ambulance

a new filing by pg&e gives a hint at legal strategies the utility may use surrounding the lawsuits in the santa rosa wildfire. investigators have not determined the exact cause of the fire in 2017. our investigative unit found that fire may have started from faulty electrical equipment on property at north bennett lane. on monday pg&e filed a legal response saying that the equipment was not its responsibility. in a statement, in part, it says, quote, the evidence supports the conclusion that this equipment located beyond pg&e's service delivery point was planned, designed, installed, maintained and operated by third parties, not pg&e, end quote. the filing does not reference any specific cause, only who is responsible for the equipment in question. happening today, one of san francisco's biggest buildings is finally complete. crews just finished the moscone center expansion. the conference center was under construction for more than a year. now it has extra space for

bring cash, much like the friday commute. we'll see that build. more cars on the road but green sensors all around. we'll show you the tri-valley. no problem. a little slowing out of the altamont and clear into the dublin interchange. we show the peninsula with no real problems. that's a great drive for palo alto. bay shore freeway, good stuff. >> looks nice and clear out there, mike. usually that means it's very cold. vianey, i'm sorry you have to be the one to deliver the news. >> that's okay. i think people realize it's winter. >> yeah, you know. >> that's right. >> according to the calendar. >> but literally freezing temperatures. >> we had freezing temperatures. yesterday we woke up to the 20s. heading to the weekend, you know what will be the main topic of conversation? the rain. coast, bay and inland will experience a lot of rain as we get a cold front sweeping through. i don't know why the icon doesn't show the rain. trust me, there will be rain.

55 degrees through the bay. also with the estimated rain totals right now, we're expecting some pretty decent rainfall totals from saturday through sunday. i kind of want to show you this because just a little over an inch for the north bay. and then in through santa rosa, napa, just a little over an inch as well. down through fremont, san jose, morgan hill, a quarter of an inch. we have a system moving in on monday bringing additional rainfall. let's take a look at how your sunday forecast is doing. sunday's forecast also expect periods of on and off again showers as that cold front sweeps in on saturday. another thing we'll be monitoring are those gusty conditions. outdoor parties, i'm going to say it's not going to be a good idea. unfortunately, if you had plans to be outside, we're tracking that cold front sweeping through that will also bring the possibility of seeing some isolated thunderstorms right behind that and the gusts could be blowing upwards of 35-plus miles per hour. we don't want to see any pinatas, paper plates, tents

blowing around. have a backup plan. that rain will linger into sunday. as far as your temperatures, only topping out into the upper 50s. big, big changes ahead. back to you. coming up here on "today in the bay," wells fargo fined. the multimillion dollar settlement the company is paying california. plus, curry confusion. did you hear about it? a highly tauted event hosted by the warriors star has a lot of fans asking questions this morning. a big deal in washington this morning because today here come the democrats.

initial reports say a christmas tree may be to blame. police unions in california have been trying to block a sunshine law. a law that requires certain records to be available and open to the public. now the state supreme court has blocked the police union's efforts. a judge is expected to hear a case next month over whether records for old cases should be public domain in los angeles. the records would be released in cases of police shootings, sexual assaults on the job and other cases of dishonest behavior. it's expected other departments will file similar legal challenges. governor brown makes his last appointment before leaving office. two of them are for reappointing the leaders of the california high-speed rail project. the hope is to build that train that travels from san francisco to los angeles in less than three hours. so far, the project is behind schedule and tens of millions of dollars over budget. gavin newsom has a chance to choose other project members once he takes office. after wells fargo created

massive amounts of fake accounts, it is now giving up its insurance license here in california. you may recall the company charged 1500 customers for insurance policies they never agreed to. now the bank's agreeing to pay california $5 million to settle the case. and it will pay an extra $5 million if it ever wants to sell insurance in the state again. the settlement was accepted yesterday. 5:45. it's an enormously important day in washington, d.c. >> scott mcgrew, the most mow men tuesday since donald trump took office. >> that's right. because the new congress is seated. in the house, here come the democrats. control of the house doesn't mean democrats can get laws passed. it does mean the democrats can take control of investigative committees, powerful committees in the house like judiciary and intelligence and commerce. our savannah guthrie sits down with the incoming speaker of the
