"today in the bay's" kris sanchez is following the story for us. she's going to join us with a live report at the top of the hour. still no word of an arrest in the deadly weekend in the east bay. this is involving a shooting that happened saturday night in antioch. the gunman shot two men near the intersection of west 19th and "d" streets. one of those men died. the other is now recovering. police so far are not indicating if they have any suspect information or if they know what led to that shooting. cleanup crews ramping up

utah had the second most with 77 homes destroyed. 4:36, as of today, a new cal train rule takes effect allowing bicyclists to board first on designated bike cars. there is research they say to back it up. the pilot program showed a policy can shave more than a minute off of boarding times. that minute sometimes makes a big difference. >> trust me t does. 4:37 for you right now. coming up here on "today in the bay," boeing stock hit hard. the reason china is grounding nearly 100 planes. and prepare to pay more if you own a tesla. the price increase and when it kicks in. for 50 years, cracker barrel

if you are -- well, taking a live look outside in the south bay this morning, a nice clear start to our morning. what i was going to say, if you happen to be in the south bay yesterday afternoon about 5:00, you may have experienced this. boy, the hail really came down, this is in kris sanchez's backya backyard, it happened in the willow glen area. from what i understand, it sounded like doomsday.

it hit hard, it hit fast, and there was a lot of it. we have more video to show you within the newscast as well. >> she had enough ice for a margarita party. >> because that's the way we roll around here! >> we had such a busy week with round after round of rain last week and then it was about to wind down, but it didn't want to just do it, you know, kind of ease out of here. it was just like okay, we're going to make a show here, and taking a live look at the calm conditions now in san francisco, looking good, now that that storm has moved away from the bay area, but leaving behind some really cool temperatures, and we are now in the mid-40s there, but we do have some upper 30s in the north bay, now 37 degrees in santa rosa, napa, and in ukiah, and so as we go through the day, it's going to be a nice one, with our temperatures reaching into the low 60s. for the south bay, up to 63 degrees. 61 in napa and 62 degrees in santa rosa. here is a live look outside in

san jose, it's still cloudy, and we are going to still need some very warm clothing today, with our very cold temperatures, you need a coat, but the change will be you need some sunglasses, too. here is a look at the storm system that was just off the coast and this is a loop from the past 18 hours. could you see the lightning strikes that were developing yesterday afternoon, and with that storm we also had it kind of drifting just farther to the south. so here is a look at yesterday afternoon into the evening hours, and that storm that brought in that hail. now it has dipped to the south and is moving away and we'll watch our next system moving in. this one looks like it will kind of move just to the north of us, and bring in more clouds, but not much in the way of rain. so this is the way it looks on the hour by hour outlook, all clear today, by early tomorrow morning we start to see some clouds moving in, but the clouds don't look like they'll bring us a lot of showers, but we'll still keep a slight chance as this cold front moves through,

and the winds will pick up as well. going throughout the week, it does look mostly dry, and it will be warming up, going from the low 60s today to the low 70s by the end of the weekend. it's still going to be chilly during the early hours with some upper 30s tomorrow morning. i'll keep track of that, and mike, you're saying there was a hazmat situation going on. >> technically a hazmat situation, it sounds dramatic. the peninsula has an easy drive. i showed you this on the palo alto shot. not far from there we have an issue farther up the roadway southbound through redwood city just about the woodside off-ramp there was a crash and the off-ramp is closed now because it involved in that crash was a bumper and someone punctured part of their fuel tank, so there's fuel as well as debris across that off-ramp. they've closed it for the time being. technically a hazmat situation because the oil, the fuel has to be treated and they have to clear it, so i'm hoping this will be clear well before the bulk of the traffic starts to build on 101. because you're watching it right now, you can get off at whipple,

before you get to the issue, otherwise you have to travel a lot farther south toward the congestion for willow and 101 and you don't want to do that. we will give you a note on the peninsula side. there's another crash on the east bay side of the san mateo bridge, that may be a factor but we're getting confirmation on chp on where exactly that s on the freeway or just off. there is a little bit of fog reported in the areas of the north bay. we also showed you some of that in the tri-valley, looking at our dublin camera. you see some fog, so this is westbound your commute over here toward the dublin interchange but you can't see the dublin grade from our camera, around tassajara. that is an issue as folks rise up into the hillside. the fog staying at the same height, the hills rise up and you meet it. oakland is a nice drive, this high-rise at high street is just fine. no one was hurt in this crash yesterday in oakland. it happened near highway 24 in broadway. chp posted the photo, happened during the round of wet weather. >> firefighters quickly

contained a fire at elmwood correctional facility in milpitas. it reportedly started in one of the barracks, where inmates sleep. no one was injured and deputies say it may have started from electrical issues but are still investigating the cause. dramatic video of sweden, this is this morning, showing a bus on fire. this is in stockholm. take a look here. you can see those flames. look at that, just burning there. the smoke rising from the bus, that thick, black smoke there. the rescue workers said the bus hit a barrier near the entrance of a tunnel. this caused the gas tank to leak and explode. the driver was treated for burns, but thankfully, no passengers were on board at the time. an arizona zoo has no plans to euthanize a jaguar that attacked a woman who went over a barrier to try to get the perfect selfie. this is video of the woman on the ground afterward. the zoo says the jaguar attacked her when she climbed over barricades and stood too close to the enclosure's fence.

the cat gashed the woman's arm. zoo workers say she did return later in the day to apologize. >> she said she loved the zoo, she hated for to us get bad publicity because she comes here often. >> witnesses distracted the animal with a water bottle, had to act quickly because the cat still had its claws in the woman's arm. the cat remained in its closure through the entire incident. >> 4:50 right now. developing for you, crews are searching for a marine who went missing during a back country skiing trip in the sierra nevada. first lieutenant matthew craft left for his trip on the sierra high round on february 23rd. he was supposed to complete it monday near bridgeport, northeast of yosemite national park. on friday, crews found the jeep that craft parked at the start of his trip, about 130 miles south of bridgeport. that search is mainly airbased because the risk of avalanches, you may remember, heard a series of winter storms dumped record

amounts of snow in the sierra. it is 4:50. now to the 2020 presidential race, a growing list of democratic candidates backing the legalization of marijuana nationwide. former texas congressman beto o'rourke is the latest to support the idea. in recent weeks, california senator kamala harris has called it "the smart thing to do." new jersey senator cory booker is sponsoring a legalization bill as well. senators kamala harris as well as senators gillibrand and bernie sanders of vermont support it. coming up on "today in the bay," "nbc bay area responds." >> a gift card purchase gets hung up online. we go to the company's ceo to get results. i'm consumier investigator chris chmura, "nbc bay area responds," next. first, today is the last day to use payless gift cards in store credits. last month the shoe store chain

declared bankruptcy. payless not accepting returns, customer coupons or any reward redemptions. the company is going out of business sale is expected to continue through the end of may. more news right after this break. fremont

in from ethan, our photographer out there. this big rig is the starting point for this traffic alert. you see there's no bumper on the front. the bump ear apparently came off the rig. the rig ran over the bumper and i don't know if this rig's fuel tank is punctured but you'll see another car involved in this that came along past that, also i believe hit the bumper. i think this is the fuel that spilled there. there's cleanup that has to go on. you see some liquid leaking out from that mazda. that is why there is extended cleanup. out to the map we have the closure over here in palo alto, at woodside as folks are coming southbound on 101. you'll see slowing. the woodside off-ramp is closed. you see slowing on the sensors around el camino. get off at whipple and avoid any of the lights or folks tapping their brakes as they see the closure of the off-ramp. the speed sensors may start to slow. a traffic alert simply means there's an impact to the commute but doesn't say how long that will last so we'll track that closely. still no update in ha
