and good friday morning to you. take a look out at sfo. nice and clear. we haven't seen that in a while, but vianey will have a look at the forecast in just a bit. hey, this weekend, heads up to you on sunday night, you'll want to look skyward because a super bloody moon lunar eclipse will thrill stargazers there. here in california, totality is supposed to kick in a little after 8:30, and that's where the earth will fully block the sun's reflection of the moon. one expert explains how the earth's shadow brings stunning colors to the moon's surface. >> it's seeing all the sunsets and sunrises on the earth simultaneously and of course, they tend to be red because the

"meet the press," "press:here." >> will we have a chance to see the blood moon? >> unfortunately we have another system coming in, bringing some cloud cover and that's going to definitely affect the chances of seeing that. so you know, i'll try to keep you posted online but let's hope for the best. >> check the internets. >> let'sop the best. we are seeing a lot of that cloud cover. we have an active radar up to the north. 54 degrees in san francisco. wind speeds are calm and our

satellite radar right now, you could see we've still got plenty of moisture, a lot of that moisture just off to the far north, and it is more focused off the coast and it's going to remain that way, at least through today, with the scattered chance throughout the entire afternoon, especially if you live anywhere north of the golden gate bridge. as far as anything south of the golden gate bridge, you might catch light drizzle or two but notice a lot of that rain is off through ukiah. we have our own storm ranger that has been actively scanning since the initial storm systems moved in, and we're expected another pretty crazy weekend in terms of the big changes ahead. so let's talk about your microclimate highs for today. 36 degrees in oakland. 67 for san jose. 59 in san francisco, and again, we'll start to see that scattered rain kind of roll in once again tonight in through the south bay as well, because we've got another cold front moving in tomorrow, but that one is going to be a little bit weaker. one thing we are monitoring for today is the high surf warning that will be in effect until 5:00 p.m. we're talking about strong rip

currents and dangerous waves upwards of 40-plus feet along the entire coastline, just avoid the area and please be safe out there, folks. let me take you through the futurecast. if you notice, we'll keep the chances of scattered showers in through the evening and as we move into early tomorrow morning, we have another frontal system that moves in, but it keeps the majority of that rain off to the north, so a lot of the bay area won't even see any rain from this system, but on sunday, we've got a pacific storm system and that one is going to bring the best chance of seeing widespreadai the evening hours, was going to be a good weekend m passes by into next week. now, as we head in toward saturday, that slight cetline a through the north bay, but king tides on sunday making their appearance and our temperature also top out into those 50s, so we still have a pretty active weather pattern but at least it is not as intense as what we saw earlier this week. all right, mike, how are the roads looking? >> much calmer than yesterday, definitely.

we're looking over here toward the bay bridge, which also there's no wind advisory for the bay bridge or the other bridges right now. we'll track the changes as vianey is talking about. i'm also looking for the crash reported around the berkeley curve. it was reported getting away from the bay bridge. you can see the live shot, no lanes problems, no flashing lights. it's all clear over here on the oakland side. we had a disabled vehicle getting off the bay bridge that cleared in the last few minutes. crews are able to clear those quickly. contra costa county no delays coming across benicia, carquinez bridge, north bay a smooth flow as well. the crew over here, just past our camera in dublin we may see a crash closer to hacienda. i'll flip that camera around. we just got word of that possible crash near the dublin interchange and a quick look on the peninsula, traffic flows nicely past the construction zone. palo alto all lanes reported open. highway 17 an easier drive than yesterday, same thing with 101. vianey talked about sprinkles so you may still have damp roadways. don't let your guard down. always vigilant on the the

roadways. >> thank you, mike. the family of a man shot and killed by police officers in pittsburg reportedly filing a civil claim. the shooting happened a year ago. the suspect, terry eamons was shot and killed in his car, in a nations parking lot. officers later claimed they believed he was reaching for a gun they could see in his center console. the officers were not charged. according to the "east bay times" his family is filing a wrongful death suit. do you recognize this man? palo alto police say he was one of three men who robbed a man walking along university avenue near the transit center monday night. the victim says he was followed and his phone stolen. a unique piece of san jose history that was stolen a few months ago has been recovered. it's that orchard supply hardware classic sign. osh is gone but the sign is back and the man who swiped it says he has an explanation. >> here is "today in the bay's" sergio quintana. >> reporter: there's not much left of the old orchard supply

hardware store near downtown san jose. even the newer store next door that was opened in 2014 is now closed. the chain went out of business in august, and for the last three months the theft of the iconic neon sign that hung outside since the 1950s has been a neighborhood mystery. >> no one saw it happen and we had cops come up to see if we had surveillance here at the gas station to see if they can have any clues of who took it. >> reporter: for decades, that iconic neon orchard supply hardware sign was hanging off of that pole, and then one weekend in early november, it disappeared. after months of detective work, san jose police investigators located the sign. it's now under lock and key with history san jose. ken middlebrook, the curator of collections said the man who took the sign took good care of it. >> he was evidently concerned what's going to happen to this historic sign so he took it upon himself, not knowing there was already other preservation efforts toward the sign, but he took it upon himself to remove

the sign for safekeeping in his own warehouse. >> reporter: he's not sure if any charges will be pressed against the alleged culprit. the plan for history san jose is to fully restore the sign, including all the neon that used to light it up. it will eventually be part of an outdoor exhibit at the san jose history park. sergio quintana, "today in the bay." you can get ready for loud noise and construction as b.a.r.t. expands in downtown san jose. crews will start the preliminary work next week. the construction may shrink some streets to one lane, also the parking spaces and sidewalks may be offlimits but major construction on the downtown system won't start for another two year u on "today in the bay," "nbc bay area responds." >> the new year has barely begun. we have put thousands of dollars back in people's pockets. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura, "nbc bay area responds," next. but first, happening now, people in argentina struggling to cope with widespread flooding that hit the country's northern

team has already added more than $66,000 to our tote board, that's 66 grand we have put back in people's pockets just since january 1st. one standout case involves a woman whose name we are not going to use. she wishes to remain anonymous. she contacted us about a flaw in her new home's electrical system, more than $6,000 was in dispute here. we checked it out, sent a few heleues over at telemundo responde. recently consumer investigator arlen fernandez helped maria batista in san jose. maria hired someone to install solar panels. the contractor promised a $5,600 rebate. maria didn't get that money until arlen shed some light on the case. perhaps we can help you, too. call us in english or in spanish, 888-996-tips inening learn or 844-408-4848 in
