late morning/early afternoon for approaching santa rosa and northward, and then the rest of the bay area, starting to see some light showers into early afternoon, maybe in time for the evening commute over toward san francisco, as well as the east bay, and then into tonight, still seeing some heavy rounds of rain moving through the north bay, especially. so that's where we'll be watching mike as you head out, you're seeing some things going on around the bay. >> a few things in the east bay, the peninsula and the south bay, they're clear of any issues blocking any lanes. we look over here oakland 808 on-ramp to southbound the southbound direction at oak street looks like that truck might have cleared because chp just cleared the scene, so we'll track that. i'll let you know if there's any problems. the nimitz was moving smoothly. just off 580 and the castro valley ystrbridge we have a crash there on city streets still in the intersection. westbound 580 north livermore, we do have a crash there, in the center divide. traffic flows nicely past the scene but i hear there are three

here are today's top business headlines. wall street is set to open up higher this morning, dow futures up 130 points, following a positive lead from asia and europe. china's markets had their best day in more than three years, after president trump decided to delay a deadline this friday to raise tariffs on chinese-made goods, citing progress in the talks this weekend. stocks are coming off another positive week, the ninth straight for the dow and the nasdaq. prices at the pump, they are jumping. the average price of regular unleaded rising ten cents over the past two weeks, it is now $2.44 a gallon. analysts are citing an increase in crude oil costs. in the bay area, gas is higher at $3.50 a gallon. prices are still about 15 cents lower now than they were this this time last year. and the cost of dining out is going up, too. prices at full service restaurants rose more than 2.5% in january, well above the 1.6% rise in inflation overall. experts say higher expenses for rent, insurance and labor are being passed on to laborers. staff pay could be the biggest contributor to those rising

restaurant prices, as some states have raised their minimum wage. those are your cnbc business headlines. back over to you. >> thank you, frank. it is 5:16 right now. air fare prices however, hitting new lows. the average fare for domestic air travel was $343 last year. that's actually the lowest since the government started keeping track back in 1995. however, baggage check fees weren't included. experts say airlines are getting a larger share of their revenue from those fees and from deals with credit card providers helping them remain profitable. we're talking about rain but this morning, this is what a southwestern idaho family is working to dig out of. more than four feet of snow in the last two weeks, completely buried their home. the family says they have never seen a winter this bad. they say it is now a race against mother nature to clear the roof before the weight of that snow causes the roof to give way. >> wow. and that's why i would never live there. >> we know a family that just moved to idaho.

>> really? must be beautiful but i think i'd be a hermit. >> like living in the sierra tahoe all year round, they are looking at over the next few days another five to eight feet. >> but that i can take because i can come and go. >> you can come and go but would you live there? that's what the big deal is. so we've got a lot of rain moving our way, as we go throughout the weekend. another atmospheric river targeting the bay area. we're starting to see some of those showers moving in to ukiah right now but it's really farther to the north, with some heavy rain and even some gusty winds. so we have a lot to expect as we go into the next several days with this rain. we can see how far out into the pacific how long this line is that is going to bring us some more and more moisture so it's going to train over some of those same areas with some heavy rain as the storm system moves closer. so here we are at 10:00, going

hour by hour. i wanted to time out your day for you. we could see light rain in parts of the east bay by 10:00 to 11:00, but still the heavy rain to the north and then we look at what's going on in the north bay, marin county, over toward solano county. at 1:00 some waves of rain but the bulk of it to the north. going into 3:00 to 4:00 we start to see more of it filling in on the radar, still missing out on the rain for the most part in san jose and areas farther to the south, so san francisco, oakland, and over toward the tri-valley starting to see some of that heavy rain continuing through tonight, continuing through the day tomorrow but it slowly starts to sag its way to the south, still not seeing a lot of that rain in san jose. we may not get a lot of this until about tomorrow afternoon into the evening, while everyone else is just being poured on over the last 12 or 24 hours. looking at how much rain we could see out of this system for the south bay, a little over an

inch while you head up to san anselmo, could you get over five inches, maybe closer to six inches of rain and over six inches of rain in santa rosa. this will cause river levels to rise so russian river at guerneville expected to crest over flood stage, quite a bit over flood stage between wednesday and thursday and looking at the napa river cresting going into late tuesday into early wednesday. that will also be over flood stage. a lot of concerns here as we will have some warmer temperatures off and on rain and unfortunately, there will be several storm systems moving through this week that could cause more flooding and also some wind damage as well. i'll be tracking that for you, helded over to mike. you're tracking the san mateo bridge. >> that's right, kari. looking over here i'm looking as well behind me that box truck has cleared. westbound 92 now cleared. excuse me now my throat's cleared. no problems headed across the

water. we have the box truck, i don't know why it pulled over there but it was blocking that center divide and sticking out into the fast lane for a few minutes. now it's a smooth drive through the area. we may have something else going on near the dumbarton bridge looks like another disabled vehicle reported there. i'll check on that with chp. sometimes people get confused and they report one bridge for the other. this bay bridge no mistaking that and the slower drive there. an easy drive coming through contra costa county with just that little debris over there on kirker pass road, as you're exit exiting pittsburg. the backup is early and the metering lights likely on. if not, you already see the backup at the toll plaza for the bay bridge. back to you. >> that shot screams monday morning. thanks. coming up the latest on a deadly amazon cargo plane crash that happened in texas. we'll show you what investigators are saying about it this morning. plus r. kelly goes to court this morning for sexual abuse. up next what his lawyer is saying about kelly's encounters with women. and on twitter this morning, everyone including we us still buzzing this morning about the oscar's, so last night i was

watching it, my 9-year-old asked if lady gaga and bradley coop he were were married during their duet. i said no she said "well they're certainly acting like it." >> from the mouths of babes. >> i'm glad she at least recognizes that. 5:22 right now. a lot more ahead.

here's your buick sir. actually, that's my buick. your buick doesn't have a roof rack! this is my buick. how are we gonna fit in your mom's buick? easy. i like that new buick. me too. i was actually talking about that buick. i knew that. did you? buick's fresh new lineup is full of surprises. get great deals on our expectation-shattering lineup. pay no interest for 72 months on most buick models. why shop marshalls?

(gasp) with brands that wow and prices that thrill marshalls is never boring and always surprising. (horn

honking) searching for the black boxes a cargo jet operated by amazon that crashed over crews this morning are still searching for the black backs of a cargo jet operated by amazon that crashed over the weekend in texas. all three people who were on board that jet died. it crashed in a marsh east of houston on saturday and investigators say there was no distress call. right now the ntsb is still calling the crash a complete mystery. it is 5:24 and happening today, r&b singer r. kelly is back in court in connection to new criminal charges, including sex abuse against minors.

prosecutors in chicago charged kelly on friday with ten counts of sex abuse, nine of those counts linked to minors. today a trial judge is expected to be assigned. some of the accusations date back years. kelly's attorney says he can prove his client did nothing wrong. >> he kept records. he made people show them i.d.s. he made people sign statements. he didn't ever knowingly certainly have sex with someone who was underaged. if they've shown him a fake i.d. if they filled out a form and lied on it that certainly isn't his fault. >> in 2008, kelly was acquitted of child pornography charges. so far, he has not made bail and last night spent his second straight night behind bars. from a feminist icon to a world famous athlete, there was no shortage of star power at the marquee silicon valley women's conference. >> gloria steinem and is he rhea williams spoke friday at the watermark conference for women in san jose. nbc bay area of course a proud

2019. ad lib live picture of the bay bridge - radar. welcome to monday morning. taking a live look outside at the bay bridge. looks fantastic but look at the radar radar, what is coming our way. another atmospheric river.

good morning to you and thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm kris sanchez. marcus washington is off today. nbc bay area issuing a microclimate weather alert to warn you the powerful storm packing lots of rain and gusty winds is on its way. >> we already have saturated grounds so let's check in with "today in the bay's" meteorologist kari hall. you've been tracking this one for a while. >> we've seen since last week this will have a heavier focus, a main focus on the north bay, while the rest of the bay area will be kind of on the outer fringes of this until it works its way southward. that's what we're seeing right now, starting out with some of the rain around ukiah, and then starting to make its way into northern sonoma county. as we go into the rest of the day, this will make its progress southward into the bay area and that's when we will start to see some rain moving in but at least we do have a few more hours of some dry weather. we can see that as you head out around pleasant hill but make sure you have the umbrella ready for this afternoon, as that rain starts to pick up. i'll have more on this coming up in a few minutes, and mike you're tracking what's going on in oakland. >> the backup started earlier --

>> can't hear you, mike. >> you know what bay area -- >> now we can. >> the bay area metering lights are on. let me get this back over here. >> oh, we cannot pea >>.we can't. >> let's get back to the microclimate weather alert we were talking about, the strong storm with heavy rains and winds taking aim at the bay cair. we want to make sure you're ready for that so we sent "today in the bay's" pete suratos live to san anselmo, where we expect there could be flooding there. good morning, pete. >> reporter: good morning, guys. throughout the north bay, we saw a combination of flooding and landslides throughout the area and we're standing here at san anselmo. behind me is san anselmo creek. this is an area folks in this specific area in downtown san anselmo to keep a close eye on if it hits a certain flooding stage that could lead to flooding in the area. it is at low levels right now, it would have to reach a high level in order for that flooding

to take place but as i nextmentioned landslide issues in sausalito. remember that's where we saw the massive landslide as long sausalito boulevard, where a woman was miraculously saved after her home slid down a hill. now there's plenty of debris cleanup ahead in that area with homes and buildings being damaged as a result of the landslides in fact we were there when the city council voted for a local state of emergency due to the damage in cleanup that they have ahead. we'll keep a close eye on that. we also saw flooding in santa rosa, this is video from the previous storm system where a portion of the road we were right there was flooded by the nearby mark west creek. you see cars driving through that of course that is never a good idea because you don't know how deep that water is. we want to go up north to show you footage in the guerneville area along the russian river, we talked a lot b the river hits the flood stage, which it did a couple of weeks ago and most folks, i want to point out, are

typically prepared for the conditions. most of the homes in long river being elevated on states,ilts but usually an advisory that goes out for folks to evacuate nonetheless. we take you back out here to the san an mel mow creek, we'll keep an eye on conditions in the north bay and provide any updates as they come in this morning. we're live here in san anselmo, pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> we know you'll be out there for a while. thank you very much, pete. >> and of course you can always get the weather app so that you can keep track of the weather where you are and where you're headed throughout your day, nbc bay area app is free. it is 5:33 right now. danville police are piecing together the details of a deadly shooting. officers responded to reports of gunshots on fastoria way less than a block from the costco in danville yesterday afternoon.

we talked with a neighbor, whose car is also in that lot. >> there's probably a bunch of cars that just sit there. i know that they store some cars, it's probably a bunch of work trucks, probably just one of the work truck trailers, probably somewhere, where no one could see anything and you know, did whatever they were doing back there. >> police have not released details about the victim nor a suspect description. happening today, teacher also strike for the third day in a row in oakland, after talks with the school district broke down over the weekend. "today in the bay's" bob redell is live outside oakland tech high school. bob, both sides, are they going to talk again today? >> reporter: kris the union that represents the oakland unified school teachers says that talks are supposed to resume today but we have no confirmation of that from the oakland unified school district. if they do resume the teachers do plan to bring an ally to the barringgaining table, the state superintendent of public instruction. the oakland education association posted on facebook that tony thurmond would join

them in talks with the district. both sides did meet friday. the district says the union canceled scheduled talks for saturday and the union walked out yesterday after an hour of talks. the union, which has been without a contract since 2017 is demanding smaller class sizes, the hiring of more support staff, and a 12% pay hike over three years. the district has offered a 7% pay hike over three years, plus a one-time 1.5% bonus. the district tells the "east bay times" the 12% raise the teacher, demanding would cost the district around $60 million which is unaffordable given the district is expected to race a $56 million budget short qwan fall in the coming years. >> our families are counting on us. know that i speak for all of us when i say that we love and value our teachers and we want to give them everything they are asking for, however, we cannot afford to do so. >> reporter: the fiscal

oversight trustee, oversees the unified school district and has the power to veto any agreement with the union that would put the district in financial distress. he issued a statement saying the 12% raise demanded by teachers would do just that and he would rescind any deal. we expect the teachers picketing out here at oakland technical high behind me starting around 6:30 this morning. reporting live in oakland, bob redell "today in the bay." >> thank you very much bob. a mass led by pope francis marks the end of a summit for catholic leaders to deal with the church's sex abuse scandal. the catholic clergy are "tools of satan." nearly 200 leaders from around the world spent the last four days addressing the scandal that has seen the church pay billions in settlements over the years. the vatican says it will formulate follow-up measures to

ensure all bishops return home knowing how to put anti-abuse procedures in place. >> the attitude from the beginning was different, and certainly has been at the end very different. i've heard from many working groups you've heard from many people individually that they have transformed. >> pope francis also vowed that the church will spare no effort to bring accusers to justice, and will not cover up abuse. the latest development in the jussie smollett case involves a check and text he sent to two brothers authorities believe assisted in that staged attack. tmz obtained a copy of the check, the actor paid $5,500 to the payer. smollett says the money was for fitness related help. the memo on the line of the check seems to back that up. chicago police previously said the actor paid that amount to stage the attack. nbc has not reviewed the

material but a source confirms it is authentic. opening statements began in the trial of a second man accusing monsanto of giving him cancer. 70-year-old edwin hardiman started using monsanto's weed killer roundup back in the 1980s and in 2015 he was diagnosed with nonhodgkins lymphoma just a month before a key ingredient in roundup was listed as a carcinogen. hardiman's case is one of more than 1600 filed by people who believe roundup caused their cancer. the trial is expected to last a month. in the first trial against monsanto monsanto, a jury found roundup caused cancer in an east bay pest control manager and awarded him $289 million. a judge slashed that to $78 million. it is 5:38 right now. about 200 skiers stuck at a tahoe ski resort after the chair lift broke are finally back on the ground this morning. it happened at the promiseland express lift at north star. the chair lift stopped working yesterday and a few skiers had to be helped down with ropes.

four hours after that malfunction started, everyone was off that lift. no one was hurt, and north star is apologizing to everyone involved. i've been on that lift several times enaand i got to say, what if this things just stopped, and it did. obviously who i go with but if not, you meet fun people. >> four hours spent with someone on a chair lift, you get to know them. not this long of a wait but we have a wait at the bay bridge toll plaza, and the metering lights were turned on i'm told at 5:24 that's according to chp log but we saw the backup actually forming earlier about ten after 5:00 so it started a little earlier, but we didn't have those lights on for management until just a few minutes ago. it is a smooth drive on the approach throughout the maze and through contra costa county. all the other incidents we were tracking on the map have cleared, including the hay and debris on kirker pass as folks are making their way out of pittsburg.
