where you live and what we've seen so far. so we're doing as bad as 67% of normal around mountain view but as well as 90% of normal in the north bay and santa rosa. look at the rainfall we've measured since october 1st in santa rosa we've measured 17" of rain. that's pretty much what we're seeing across the board. even though we've had a lot of rain, we're still lacking just a little bit and we're still going to see more of that deficit add up as we continue on with dry weather. we are tracking patchy fog in santa rosa, visibility down to three-quarters of a mile, clear around the bart station out the door. it is chilly with low 40s. as you step out we go from 41 to 54 to noon we'll warm up a few more degrees. the crisp factor is pretty low.

a smooth hair day even though they start out with relative humidity at 86%. it is still fairly crisp because of those chilly temperatures. then we will see highs in low- to mid-60s. a cloud-free sky. i've seen clouds developing to the south. that's going to ride up and over our high pressure and not bring us rain. it will filter our sunshine heading into the weekend. so our temperatures go from the low 60s today in the inland area to the upper 60s by the weekend. and our morning temperatures will also get milder looking at still some dry weather into the middle of next week. for san francisco expect a high to reach to 60 today and mid-60s for the weekend. make some plans to get outside. mike, you're tracking a traffic break. >> we do have some, i want to show you off the top. the reason i'm not showing that first, this has more impact. traffic alert affects folks out

of the altamont pass or into the altamont pass. heading to the bay bridge, this is not a traffic alert but i'm going to give you a big heads up. over the overpass you can see it. that overpass, show you the maps, show you how that configures. it takes a loop, horseshoe shape. talking about a crash involving a motorcycle before the horseshoe. see the path we're showing with the illustration, cars showing you getting by but only on the left side. that's exactly what's going on by the motorcycle crash, blocking two left lanes so far. this will affect folks coming in off the maze. east shore freeway, traffic should flow smoothly but you'll see traffic lights. contra costa and the maze moves smoothly westbound 580. that's the one taking the toll. seeing the build there towards bay bridge toll plaza. the rest of the bay close to the water moves very smoothly. typical slowing from the nimitz past the bay bridge.

over here, this is where we have the official alert. eastbound 580 jamming up out of livermore and in towards the split, 580 eastbound with 205. there is a crash involving the big rig. there's gas spilling out of the rig. we hear they have blocked all lanes temporarily to take care of this. some injuries as well. this affects you out of the area, out of livermore, into altamont and toward tracy. if that's your commute, might want to investigate staying off that commute for the time being. there is a full closure eastbound 580 at 205. sky ranger heading out. >> we'll keep an eye on that one. >> much more ahead on "today in the bay." help for a teenager kidnapped and held for months. the aid jayme closs is getting after her family was murdered. an apartment renter stuck with a $4,000 repair bill. i'm chris chmura. we help patch things up when nbc bay area responds next.

the reward money offered by the foodmaker to find the missing wisconsin girl is now going to the girl herself. the parents of jayme closs was killed last fall when she was kidnapped. the employer, jennie-o offered a $25,000 reward to find jayme. the couple that called 911 when she escaped turned down the money. she is donating it to closs with hopes of starting a trust fund. they arrested the accused kidnapper shortly after finding her. he faces kidnapping and murder charges. someone pulled one over on pg&e. a fake website claiming the ceo is digging into her own pockets to help fire victims. this is what the site looks like. a fake press release saying the former ceo is donating her $2.5 millions severance to help camp fire victims. pg&e tells us they are aware of

the fake site and the company is not aware of any donation being made. according to the internet records, the website's domain was anonymously registered last sunday. 6:23 right now. nbc bay area responds to a walnut man who felt fooled buying a freezer. >> the appliance p was handled. >> good morning. cynthia looking forward to the arrival of her new bedroom set but she didn't expect this. that is her balcony and that is damage she says the delivery truck did when it knocked several boards loose. the apartment management said she was responsible for the repairs which cost nearly $4,000. cynthia went ahead and paid it, then asked the furniture store to reimburse her, but they said they weren't responsible. they said the delivery service they hired was. cynthia said she went back and forth to the furniture store for 10 months, then she turned to us for help.

we called the delivery service directly. they told us this was the first time they were hearing the damage. we put cynthia in touch with the delivery service directly and the delivery service sent her a check for $3,985 the check she was looking for. thumbs-up to the delivery company for stepping up and to cynthia for smapg photos for proof. she took pictures of the damage as well as the driver's license the truckdriver and the truck's plates. side note, cynthia asked her renters insurance to cover repairs for this damage right here. they turned her down. usually you'll find that renters insurance only covers from your walls in, not out. unsure about yours, ask your insurance agent to explain. if you need help with the delivery dud or any other consumer matter, please give us a call. 888-996-tips. or visit nbcbayarea.com/responds. well, tonight a bay area

surveillance video including a 7-eleven convenience store right here at the corner. the woman is the third pedestrian killed by a vehicle this year. in the other two cases the drivers did the right thing. they stayed at the scene and cooperated with police. the first was a 55-year-old man who died on january 3rd, four days after he was hit by a car on bass com in san carlson. the second an 83-year-old man hit on mckee road and died three days after he was hit. the coroner is now going to work to identify that woman and make sure her family is properly notified. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> kris, thank you. 6:33. a new video just in overpass as protests take to the streets in venezuela. what you're looking at here is footage of police firing tear gas at protesters. the leader of the national

the district says it has open too many public schools and not as many students as it once did. they will vote on the closure next week. the county's assessment appeals board cut the value of levi's stadium to the san francisco 49ers in half. that means the team is only going to be assessed during football season. this comes despite the fact the stadium does make money year-round on other events. $36 million must be refunded to the team from the county. the school district will have to shell out $13 million of that money. the district will lose out on $2 million every year going forward. it promises no programs will be cut. all right. if you've been looking for a reason to carpool into the peninsula, this may be the option for you. a new program in san mateo county is being introduced later today. this is going more commuters to ride with others.
