checking on our radar -- powered by storm ranger. welcome back. we are under a microclimate weather alert this saturday morning. checking on our radar powered by stormranger. see all that green. the rain has moved back into the

bay area and some spots could be seeing downpours. meteorologist rob mayeda will break down the forecast for you including blustery winds for this saturday, first saturday of 2019. last night it was the hottest ticket in town. steph curry's v.i.p. party in oakland and the v.i.p. were the fans who got free tickets. the musical headliners were local entertainers.

concert. the question is, will they all brave the rain this weekend? not everyone plans to. >> if it's raining, i can't come out. can't mess with the hair. >> we'll be out. weather doesn't bother us. we'll be good. >> rain jackets, rain pants, best to be over prepared so you can enjoy all the outdoor concerts and all the free festivities. let's check in with rob mayeda with a look at our weekend forecast. i don't want to ruin anything you're going to say but it sounds like all the storms we're seeing might clear out in time. >> there's some good news for monday. we might see a bit of a break between storms just in time for the championship game. for folks that are still trying to get to town to catch the big game coming up on monday, the national championship game, look at the flight delay situation into sfo this morning. more than two hours now for some flights due to the low cloud cover, the rain and wind. not a good travel day out at the airport. if you're expecting family and friends call ahead.

those delays will likely be an all-day event and we'll see more tomorrow as the second storm comes on in. 49 degrees. winds 16 out at sfo. we've had frosty starts to the morning in the tri-valley. not the case with the cloud cover. 42 this morning. it has been a blustery morning. 17-miles-per-hour winds. wind speeds right now strongest out near the coast. we will see these wind speeds accelerate as we head through midday peeking through 11:00 and 2:00 as we head into the afternoon. highs today will be in the mid-to-upper 50s. rain at times. widespread rain for the morning and then we'll transition to scattered showers and a chance of thunder showers into the afternoon. we pick umthese bands of rain around richmond. you're seeing it in oakland and now leaving san francisco, another band coming in from the west. parts of fremont and palo alto beginning to see the rain cross

over from the coastal hills approaching san jose through the santa cruz mountains and into morganhill. you can see the counterclockwise rotation offshore. that's the area of low-pressure essentially just off to the west of us. it's helping to crank up the winds this morning and this cooler air as it comes on in will give us a chance of snow levels, maybe down to about 4,000 feet and stronger thunderstorms this afternoon which may involve some hail which we'll be watching very closely. through mid-morning, bands of showers passing on through. from 1:30 to 3:30, look at these isolated stronger cells which will be passing through the bay area. that's the time frame to watch for a thunderstorm potential this afternoon. some of that could be locally strong out near the coast. so stay tuned and keep a close eye on your radar and the weather app for the radar information for your area. by 7:00 and 11:00, you begin to see how things quiet down.

that's the break between the two storms and as we get into sunday, there you go. 11:00 and more so for your sunday plans, that could be a washout. it looks like we'll see a lot more rain with that sunday storm as opposed to what we're seeing with this current storm. rain totals today don't look all that impressive but when you add the two storms together, now you see by sunday night how a lot of the bay area hill tops could be looking at two to three inches of rain. wind speeds will peak right around midday and around 3:00 we begin to see those wind speeds come down and speaking of coming down, look at all that snow in the sierra. we could be looking at two to three feet of snow in the sierra. monday, things do trend a little bit dryer. we'll still have to leave in some showers for monday and the big championship game then get ready for another strong storm. this is going to be the third in the series coming into tuesday and wednesday and you can see that playing out now in your seven-day forecast. today, wind and rain at times.

chance of thunder showers and then a storm tomorrow that comes rolling on in with more winds and likely double the amount of wran we're seeing today. stormy finish to the weekend. there's that break on monday with a few showers and a third strong storm and high surf on the coast as we head toward the middle of the week. >> nice to see that break at least on monday, rob, thanks. still ahead on "today in the bay" -- >> i like to shake it up. i think its awesome to bring weirdness to people's lives. >> looking at new ways to keep artists in the bay area but using unusual venues. will tell you about a special show debuting on ice this weekend.

here's to the stair takers, breakfast makers, step counters, outdoor explorers, faith restorers, appointment keepers, fantastic creatures. farmer's market goers, cholesterol lowerers cell phone silencers. the new lease on lifers, and the positive thinkers. here's to you all that see every day as an opportunity to thrive your way. a microclimate weather alert in effect. welcome back. we are keeping track of the weather outside, a microclimate weather alert is in effect. here's a live look at our weather for you. you can see the rain is just about covering the bay area by now, rain and wind is going to really impact your day. meteorologist rob mayeda is up in a bit to explain to you

what's on the docket for tomorrow as well. the bay area's high cost of living has driven out many artists who just can't afford to stick around, but one bay area group is here determined to stick around and keep it interesting. "today in the bay's" shows you the original art plan this weekend. if you want to check it out, it's free. >> we got a singer who's going to come out with a mega phone. >> reporter: they are the typical sights you'd expect to see in an ice skating rink but artist andrew fuller has a different vision of what's possible. so what if you gave a guy like fuller use of say the oakland ice center's ice rink for just an hour. >> let me think. there's so many things. >> reporter: this saturday night fuller and his art group the straw man collective will stage an unusual one hour performance in the center which he calls ice

on ice. >> it's 60 acts in 60 minutes. there's no traditional narrative. there's no plot, exactly. >> reporter: maybe no plot, but plenty of plotting. >> jenny exits and emily comes out and a drone comes up. >> reporter: kathleen who's the trumpet player come out playing laps around the ring playing taps. one of the most unusual details is how the show was funded. part of that funding came from the san francisco awesome foundation which raises a thousand bucks each month for interesting projects. because of the grant the show is free to the project. >> it's fun to see people come and get excited. it gives us something to do and make art. >> reporter: this art will even include people who can actually skate. >> i think its awesome to bring a little weirdness to people's

lives and just a counterbalance to all the serious stuff we're dealing with every single day. any time we can bring something new to a public space and bring creativity, it just inspires us all. >> reporter: for one hour starting at 7:15 sharp in saturday night, creativity and a little whackiness will be put on ice all in the name of art. joe roseata jr. >> i am very intrigued. it is 7:27. we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." we will take you back to our breaking news in the south bay where multiple people were shot this morning at a santa clara gas station. plus we have issued a microclimate weather alert. a live look at our doppler radar. meteorologist rob mayeda is next with your complete forecast. this is not a bed. it's a revolution in sleep.

outsi good saturday morning to you. our top story, a microclimate weather alert for this first weekend of 2019. outside the rain is coming down in parts of the bay area and everyone will be getting wet. you can see our doppler radar we are tracking it with our nbc bay area stormranger and stran having a little trouble with our camera there popping in and out of your screen. good morning. it is 7:30. i'm kira klapper. we have live team coverage and meteorologist rob mayeda starts us off. rob, you are busy already this morning. >> the one-two punch of the storm. first it was the wind now we're seeing the rain across the bay area. not too much rain in san jose. it has been a gusty start. winds at 17 miles per hour. the cloud cover and the onshore breezes that brought our temperatures up. 49 degrees at sfo. more than two hour delays for some inbound flights. we're looking at wind, low cloud

cover there. that's an ongoing issue for travel today out at our local airports. winds are picking up this morning. the other thing picking up is the rain here. you can see there towards the east bay hills down the coast and peninsula towards the santa cruz mountains and not a lot of rain in san jose just yet. this is the first of two weekend storms. this particular storm probably not packing as much rain compared to what we'll see tomorrow with the second storm but it does have an area of low-pressure curling just off to the west of us. cool air loft increasingly unstable environment as we head through the afternoon so that could set the stage for some isolated stronger thunderstorms especially out near the coast. we have a wind advisory up through the bay area through 4:00 today. winds 20 to 30 which i think will be increasing around lunchtime. gusts up to 45 miles per hour and then past lunchtime early afternoon watching out for those isolated thunderstorms and, yes, a stronger storm due in tomorrow

that will pack quite a bit more rain. we have our storm projections coming up in 15 minutes. >> thanks. our team coverage continues with roz plater live in stran and roz, we saw you about 30 minutes ago and you described it as miserable. >> reporter: it is a little bit miserable add to we've had a little bit of break in the rain the past couple minutes ago. the wind has picked up and now it's getting light, it's gray outside. so that really is not a great combination for this first weekend of the new year. the storm and the rain started here about half an hour ago about 6:30. started about just mist and then showers and then it started picking up as to when it was coming down a lot more. chilly out here today as well as the wind gusting through really blustering. we're along here near the ferry

terminal and there are people out and about here i can tell you. there are folks jogging and people on their way to work at the farmers market and we found a couple here from turloch coming to visit to have a tourist day here in san francisco unaware of what the rain was and the weather was going to be like. >> we came unprepared, but unfortunately that happens here sometimes. you just have to go and buy a sweater out here. this isn't going to stop us. >> reporter: they're going to go look for some gear and they need -- she had a sweater on. he had a light jacket on. you'll definitely need a lot more than that to be out here along this -- in this weather today. again, rain coming down but a little break in it for us right now. it is, again, windy and cold, so if you're coming out, you might want to get your rain gear ready and get bundled up because it's cold as well. we're live in san francisco, i'm

roz plater, nbc bay area news. >> you are great for standing out there and those poor folks trying to be tourists on a day like this. thanks so much. we do have a free app for you for android and iphone users. we send out push notifications. all you need to know, maybe if those tourists have had they would have known what was coming. be sure to download it to get the latest on this microclimate weather alert. we have breaking news to report now the. an officer involved shooting in the south bay and we have moments ago confirmed the suspect is dead and was the only person shot. it happened around 6:00 this morning, just an hour and a half ago at the gas station on la fayette street. this is just a few miles from santa clara university. here is new video into our newsroom in just the last 30 minutes. you can see the windows of the gas station are shattered. police officers looking for evidence, combing the scene.

witnesses tell us they did see multiple shots fired but as we just confirmed, that shooting suspect was the only person who was shot. we're working to figure out what may have led to the shooting. we will continue to follow this breaking story and bring you updates as they come in. another good reason to download our app. hundreds of people paid their respect to the police officer shot and killed in the line of duty. an honor guard viewing was held for police corporal ronil singh. his k-9 partner was also there. he was shot and killed during a traffic stop just hours after christmas ended. he leaves behind a wife and 5-month-old baby. the suspect is now in custody. funeral services will be held in newman today. an investigation at yosemite after a man falls to his death. it actually happened back on christmas day. park rangers say the man was visiting the park when he slipped down silver apron, that's a large slope of granite

above nevada fall. the news is only being released now because the investigation took longer than usual because of the government shutdown. there may be a shake-up at pg & e. the utility announced it has launched a search for a new member to its border of director. they won't say if its planning to replace any current directors or just expand the existing board. this all, of course, comes as pg & e is potentially facing billions of dollars in liability for its power lines sparking wildfires in california. national public radio is reporting the utility may sell off its gas division to raise money to cover court judgements and settlements for the fires. reuters is reporting that pg & e may consider filing for bankruptcy. three and a half months later and the transbay transit center remains closed, but now a step toward getting it fixed.

the new san francisco transportation hub was closed september 25th right after workers found cracks in two steel beams. this was just days after its celebratory opening. yesterday a team of engineers signed off on a repair plan that involves bolting new steel plates to the top and bottom of the cracked beams. those cracks were caused when crews cut holes at the base of the beams. still no word on when that transit center will reopen. the day after tomorrow on monday, california gets its brand-new governor, gavin newsom will be sworn in on the steps of the capitol, weather permitting. he'll be the first governor since governor schwarzenegger 16 years ago to be sworn outside. we also heard he'll be moving from his home in kent field to the governor's mansion in sacramento bringing in tow his wife and four kids, two dogs and a bunny. >> it shows he's invested in being around this area and i

work down the street so its awesome to be able to see that and maybe have some interaction, say hi. >> yesterday governor jerry brown spent the day moving out. governor newsom's inauguration ceremony is monday morning at 11:00 a.m. it is 7:38, still ahead on "today in the bay," let the party begin. the two best college football teams in the country have arrived in the south bay. we'll show you how a couple of 49ers took part in the festivities. and we are in a microclimate weather alert, a live look for you at our doppler radar with stormranger. the rain now just about covering the bay area and the wind is on its way. we will be right back.

welcome back. it is 7:40 on your saturday morning. we have issued a microclimate weather alert for this first saturday of 2019, a live look at dublin on your left and our doppler radar showing the rain

has returned to the bay area on your right. we could be seeing some downpours. meteorologist rob mayeda is up in a bit to break it down. fireworks lighting up the sky in san jose's discovery meadow last night after a free concert for the college football national championship. alabama and clemson will face off monday at levi stadium. this marks the third time in the last four years those two will meet in the title game. it's also a big weekend for the fans and the kids. there's a field inside the san jose convention center already seeing plenty of action and inspiration. 49ers mckinnon and bradley pinion spoke to a group of high school and collegiate student athletes. >> i was in that same spot. i feel like in some cases there are maybe some kids where it goes in and out but as long as one kid gets the message then i

feel like you're doing your job. >> by the way, bradley pinion went to clemson, so easy to guess who he'll be rooting for on monday. they're open today and tomorrow from 10:00 to 6:00. there is much more ahead on "today in the bay" coming up. it is coming down in san francisco and likely where you live too. we are in a microclimate weather alert. rob, we're not blaming you for this. >> thank you for that. more for wind as opposed to rain. our stormranger mobile doppler radar deployed atop san bruno mountain this morning, scanning the skies finding when those downpours are headed to your neighborhood. a closer look when we come back.

and the weekend begins with a microclimate weather alert as we're tracking strong wind and the potential of rain and thunderstorms during the day and expect a high potential of flight delays, unfortunately, at

sfo. the wind and rain at times, some arriving flights being delayed by more than two hours this morning, so call ahead. temperatures in the upper 40s right now at sfo. in dublin, not a lot of wind this morning but 42 degrees. in san jose, wind speeds at 17 miles per hour, currently 51 degrees and on the topic of the wind, this is going to be an all-day event with the wind advisory up through about 4:00. strongest winds coming in midday and temperatures in the afternoon should be in the mid-to-upper 50s. let's talk about the wind right now. strongest gusts around the coast. some gusts close to 30. notice the wind speeds over the next few hours peaking from 10:00 this morning to the early afternoon. you see the higher wind speeds indicated in the purposeling and red on the higher hill tops. could see gusts up to 45 miles per hour and in the evening wind speeds start to calm down but expect more wind as our second

storm arrives on sunday. the rain is wildly scattered. we're seeing these bands of rain coming on through. san francisco is about to see more rain in the next 20 minutes. a few light showers near oakland. not a lot around santa cruz mountains and eventually that will spill over into the santa claira valley. scattered showers and the chance of thunder showers for the afternoon. between the two storms we're seeing this weekend, this first storm in terms of rainfall doesn't look all that impressive. many areas may see less than a half inch to a third of an inch of rain. if you're near one of those isolated thunderstorms in afternoon, you'll see your rainfall totals spike compared to other parts of the bay area. right now as we're seeing on the radar view on stormranger. bands of showers passing through. the time to watch today in terms of thunderstorms is indicated in our futurecast models is right around lunchtime to 4:00.

they may include some small hail. slight chance of water spouts today. this is a chance of stronger thunderstorms during the afternoon. you'll catch a break from 11:00 tonight to 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. watch how the rain is more of an all-day event during the day tomorrow. through 5:00, 7:00 we still got rain going. so the two storms, once you take today's totals, you add on sunday's, now you're starting to see these totals add up to two to three inches in most of the coastal mountains by the time you wrap up the weekend. if you're heading to the sierra, pack some patients. we could see two to three feet of snow and snowy conditions continuing over the next few days as the storm track stays pretty active. monday, scattered showers in the forecast and storm three rolls in tuesday night into wednesday. busy. seven-day forecast ahead and a stormy weekend with two storms today and tomorrow, monday's a bit of a break. good news we think for the

championship game but then comes storm three rolling in, high surf, too. could see 20 to 30 foot waves heading into tuesday night. >> maybe mavericks will finally happen. rob, thanks. it is 7:48. still ahead on "today in the bay" as rob was saying, we're under a microclimate weather alert and we will go back outside for more team coverage. the rain and wind hitting san francisco early this morning. roz plater has our live report next. weather outside.

started. some folks on their way to work, some folks jogging and some tourists out. we met a group from new zealand who at least were all bundled up and ready for the day. so cold and windy and rain. >> we're used to it in new zealand, so and even on a summer's day it can be like this too. we don't mind, yeah. >> reporter: again, they're all bundled up and ready for it so they are out and about. again, it is windy and cold right now. a little bit of a brief reprise in the rain for now but you get the feeling that we're just kind of getting started, so, you know, get out there, i guess, if you want. the farmers market is open. folks are out getting their coffee, out and about, so not letting the weather keep them in for now. we're live in san francisco, i'm roz plater, nbc bay area news.
