of it now is kind of seeming to die down a little bit. we have rain moving in but further down south and a lot of it moved east through the modesto area, really if you're traveling down to southern california, it would be a good time to check out the road conditions before you do. you might catch icy roads. there's cold out there as well. hour-by-hour outlook to plan out your sunday afternoon, we have rain moving through, about the 9:00 hour, showers start to pop up but notice how light and scattered it is. could see a wintry mix in the mountains, low elevation snow in the mountaintops, should make for a beautiful sight, right around 6:00, we might get more pockets of rain and look at this, right around 7:00, it really just clears out completely, beautifully, even the cloud cover, which will make for a very dry, hopefully dry enough monday morning start to our work week commute. long range outlook we're going to keep the possibility of that snow for the 2,500 to 3,000 feet

elevations, at least through monday morning, and then, if i fast forward that time line, all the way through wednesday and thursday, this looks like it might once again be bringing back the return of some possible showers, and more snow near the low snow level elevations once again, with highs only in the 40s and 50s. so it's going to be a below average week when it comes to our temperatures. now, by saturday and sunday, it looks like we have a drier fo , forecast leading into next weekend, giving us time to thaw out. lake tahoe golf course 16 degrees right there and so far our sierra snowpack versus average is phenomenal. northern area 125%, central 147%, statewide, at about 141% of snowpack versus average. over the next seven days, here is a look at what you can expect. again, we have a dry, sunny start to our work week into tuesday, and then come wednesday and thursday, we get the return

more than $3,000. the earthquakes heard about it, stepped in and saved the day. they bought new equipment for the team, and personally delivered it to ac milan's practice field on friday. that soccer league is free for the players, and uses all volunteer coaches. love good news like that. we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, another twist in the jussie smollett investigation. what was thought to be a hate crime against the bay area native "empire" actor may have been something else entirely. did he stage it all? the latest on the investigation. plus, the first catholic bishop to lose his title in 100 years, officially defrocked. the message the vatican hopes it sends, next.

super bowl shield underneath while hanging from his elbow in the hoop, people! that scored him perfect tens and he went on to win the 2019 dunk contest, as you might expect. before all of that went down, all eyes were on the curry brothers and the three-point contest, in their hometown of charlotte. seth didn't make it out of the first round but steph missed four out of ten shots and joe harris of the nets that took the title. here is steph on the experience. >> i think i got five of these, this was definitely my favorite, even though i didn't win, because of the atmosphere. >> over at s.a.p. center, erik karlsson, this is a sight a lot of sharks fans wanted to see, return to the ice after missing nine games with a groin injury. first sperd no score, he sets up to meier for the power play goal and the sharks a 1-0 lead. third period, game tied 2-2.

it is 7:47 on a lovely sunday morning. it seems like we're finally going to start to thaw out and dry out, maybe not thaw out. it's still a little chilly, 44 degrees in san francisco right now. we've got some beautiful clear skies. of course we had some rain move in overnight and we're still seeing a couple of showers, but the majority of it seems like it's finally going to come to its end. santa rosa right now 34 degrees. some of our chillier spots through napa, 37 degrees as well down through san jose, 42 degrees and this is what satellite radar is showcasing right now. you could see we have a lot of moisture but a lot of it is further down south moving east and kind of out of the area, so let's zoom in and get a closer look using our own storm ranger. it has been working extremely

hard with the past couple of storms. now we're going to start catching a bit of a break as that rain moves out. i'm going to zoom in cloers, we have closer, a couple of showers in merced and fresno. traveling to southern california you'll catch some rain. i have some good news, by 9:30, we have a lot of moisture but a lot of it stays offshore and we get a couple of pockets here and there, begin to pop up again between 4:00 and 5:00 so don't be surprised by that especially near the east bay, oakland, fairfield, tri-valley and through san jose, wintry mix that pops up along our mountaintops. 2,500 to 3,000 feet we could see low elevation snow. i fast forward the time line to 8:00, look how things clear out. beautiful, clear skies, which will make for a very dry start to our monday morning, but a very cold start, our temperatures are going to drop down, we'll be waking up to 30s

all throughout the bay area, it's going to be a chilly night. so snow possible once again, near the 2,500 to 3,000 feet through tonight, and then into the middle of the week. we're going to see an approaching system once again, as early as wednesday into thursday, which could bring back low snow levels once again, but monday and tuesday are going to be our dry days, and then if i take this out even further in through friday, saturday and sunday, we've got a system, but it's pretty far off to the north and this could mean a drier forecast trending for the bay area finally. look how beautiful this shot of lake tahoe, the golf course, it's 16 degrees, once again, do not even attempt to travel up there. we ran a story earlier about how terrible it is. people stuck in their cars for ten-plus hours. do you not want to be that person. sierra snowpack statewide at about 141%. over the next seven days here's a look at what you can expect. breezy conditions this afternoon. tomorrow and tuesday, welcome sunshine, and then wednesday and thursday, well, we do get a bit

of a system that trekz is in bu our next weekend is trending drier so we'll finally be able to go outside without wearing rain boots although i've been enjoying wearing my rain boots. >> it's been nice to dust them off and use them, good fashion moment. still ahead on "today in the bay," oh, my goodness, you have to see this. the heartwarming story behind this odd couple, a dog and a possum, quite literally inseparable.

wasn )t so simple. nbc bay area responds to a woman whose oil change cost her a simple oil change that wasn't so simple. nbc bay area responds to a woman whose oil change cost her more than $10,000 for a whole new engine. turns out the state already was investigating the auto shop for fraud but there was no easy way for her to know that and go somewhere else instead. consumer investigator chris chmura looks into it. >> when kayne doumani pulled into this napa midas center all she needed was an oil change but a tech improperly replaced the oil filter and the engine burned out. >> the car lost all power. >> reporter: when she took the car a dealer for repairs, she got a shock. >> he told me you need a new engine and it's going to be about $16,000. >> reporter: kayne knew the midas shop was to blame.

what she did not know was that the state had been investigating this shop since 2015, after receiving previous complaints. >> they committed fraud. they made false and misleading statements, and with nun case committed gross negligence. >> reporter: the bureau of automotive repair says inspectors took undercover cars to this company seven different times. >> of those seven undercover vehicles, 26 serious violations of law occurred. >> reporter: but the only way for kayne or anyone else to know the stop had already been accused of failing seven inspections would be to look up the license online, search the docket and decode the legalese. >> i wish i had done it before i got my oil changed. >> reporter: in the meantime the state let the repair shop stay open throughout the investigation and disciplinary process. the last stop on that journey is the state attorney general's office, where we found a backlog of auto repair cases involving serious allegations. the backlog has tripled in the past three years. at the end of 2018, there were

1,314 auto shops in california under investigation, yet free to continue doing business as usual, including the midas in napa. there's no requirement to tell consumers, and that's very different from another place you commonly spend money, restaurants. an official health score helps you quickly gauge whether a restaurant is above board. they go off immediately after inspections and restaurants are required to post them. so couldn't the state grade mechanics the same way? we took that question to sacramento. >> i think we could do a better job at publicizing whether or not a particular repair shop might be above approach. >> reporter: evan lowe chairs the state assembly committee that oversees the bureau of auto repair. we told him of kayne's story. >> one is too much. >> reporter: low showed an appetite for grading auto shops

like restaurants. >> we fwheneed to be as plo acrs possible. >> i can't possibly end up paying for this. >> reporter: as for kayne and her $16,000 engine replacement, we called midas corporate and they reached a confidential settleme settlement. kayne is happy but disappointed in the state. >> frustrating they know what they know and he's still out there doing. >> the midas location in napa is an individually operated franchise. the owner tells us he recently sold it. he wouldn't talk with our consumer investigative team in person, but he has taken all of their calls at the shop, he says he no longer owns. he denies wrongdoing and says he never saw the state's accusation. the accusation is scheduled for a hearing in may. if you know of anyone faced with a similar shall u, please give us a call, 888-996-tips, or go to nbcbayarea.com/responds.
