good saturday morning. 7:00 on the dot, on november 2. a live look outside in downtown san jose. clear streets. clear skies. >> a beautiful morning out there. >> thanks so much for joining us. i'm kira klapper. vianey arana has a look at the microclimate forecast. we are saying hello to november

and goodbye to daylight saving time. >> otherwise known as hello fuzzy socks. >> the temperatures in the north bay are going to dip down into the 20s. so this is what it looks like right now, beautiful out there in san jose. 42 degrees. let's get right to the temperatures because look at santa rosa. 35 degrees. down through santa cruz, 40s, livermore, 39. and for that reason, there is a frost advisory in place until 9:00 a.m. mainly for the north bay, valley and the shelter areas, we could see patchy frost out there, so there is the time to take into k consideration any of your pets outside during the cold nights and time to bring them in, and also your plants if you need to protect your plants and also do that, and we could do a good job of protecting trees and stuff. so make sure to take that into consideration as we head into the month of november and december. but believe it or not, kira, off to a cold start, with the temperatures above normal for today. a warm day. and then things cool off yet

again and talk about the next chance of possibly seeing rain, and coming up in about 15 minutes. >> we need that. so we will see you around 7:15. vianey, thanks. well, we learned late last night that a fifth victim has died in connection with thursday's shooting at a halloween party in ori in ad, we're told she 19 years old from vallejo and passed away in the hospital last night. we also now know the identities of the four other people who were killed at that halloween party inside a rented airbnb. they are all young men in their 20s. all from across the bay area. that is now five confirmed dead, and three more victims who are still being treated at local hospitals. we have video posted to social media from inside that party, just seconds before people heard shots ring out. police continue to search for the shooter. >> this is a party that had over 100 people in it. and all of those people are potential witnesses to what happened. >> deputies say they don't know what triggered the shooting. they say orinda police were

called to the home twice for noise complaints and when they arrived, party-goers were running from the shooting. the party should never have happened. that's the sentiment of neighbors who say they before complained before about this very airbnb rental and there is a push to change city rules that allowed the house to be rented out. >> neighbors say this is not the first time huge crowds gathered to party at this home. and city ordinances allow only 13 people to stay at a short-term rental. it is clear those rules were not followed and now the mayor says it is likely everything will get another look. >> we will be looking at the regulations, and determining whether those regulations could be added to, or whether there is any enforcement that can be increased. >> the owner of this property has already run afoul of the rules a couple of times. the first time was for a rowdy party in march, the second was

because guests left a mess in the street in july. both time the owner met with city officials and corrected the issues and last night a third issue was reported. >> i believe they tried to call the police as well, or did call the police as well. >> the house was listed on two rental platforms. >> we have contacted airbnb, as well as booking.com, to get this, this particular location taken off of the site. >> airbnb has already said they pulled the property as the investigation continues. the city council is set to meet tuesday and is expected to consider new rules on short-term rentals here. rules that could go as far as an outright ban. nbc bay area news. >> the owner of that home tells us the people who rented it lied to them, claiming this he were looking to get away from the smoke from the sonoma county wildfires. the san francisco-based airbnb released this statement, quote, we are horrified by this tragedy

and are in close communication with chief david cook of orinda police to offer our support with his investigation into who committed this senseless violence. we of course will continue to watch the developments from this story, and our web site nbcbayarea.com is a great resource for the most up to date information any time on your phone or computer. we are new details in an officer-involved shooting on halloween night in san jose. the man who was killed by police was carrying a fake gun, a very realistic replica, the man's fake gun is on the right, the real gun on the left there. and the shooting happened near independence high school in east san jose after reports of a man threatening people. police say they ordered the man to drop the gun. he refused and that's when they say they fired. the man's name has not yet been released. crews continue to make good progress on the fire burning in sonoma county. the sheriff then allowed more evacuees to return to their homes yesterday afternoon.

here are the latest numbers on the kincade fire. it burned more than 77,000 acres, and firefighters have it 70% contained. flames have destroyed 352 structures, and another 55 have been damaged. four firefighters have been injured. most schools will be back in session beginning on monday. among the districts opening, bennett valley union. gravenstein, liberty, two rock, and santa rosa city schools will open their doors for the first time in a week. if you would like a full list of school closures and openings, go to our web site or our app, nbcbayarea.com. while cal fire is still trying to determine the cause of the kincade fire, we are learning that pg&e's equipment did in fact start three other wildfires in the east bay last sunday. the contra costa county fire marshal confirmed that downed power lines triggered brush fires on pleasant hill road and

diablo in lafayette last sunday. a pg&e transform ser being blamed for a fore fire on fores way in martinez. and it is all three areas where pg&e decided not to cut power as part of the public safety power shutoff. as he has been doing for weeks now, governor gavin newsom is repeating his calls for a fundamental overhaul to pg&e. yesterday, he outlined the $5 billion plan to enforce a new set of wildfire safety rules. >> that's the most important thing, and that is to scope a vision, a blueprint, for what a 21st century utility should look like. >> in a statement, pg&e replied, quote, we welcome the governor's and the state's edge the game on these vital matters and share the same goals on fairly resolving the wildfire claims and exiting the chapter 11 process as quickly as possible.

well, 7:08, we have much more ahead on "today in the bay," coming up after being forced to flee the flames in sonoma county, a couple and a community came together to put on a last-minute wedding. plus, is it a sign of a market slowdown? in our continuing effort to cover the bay area housing crisis, we take a closer look at home staging. and the new trend they're seeing.

good saturday morning to you. gorgeous skies. as we look towards san francisco from san bruno mountain. a reminder, tonight, daylight saving time ends. you want to set your clocks back one hour. as we fall back. anyone who has thrown a wedding before will tell you to expect the unexpected on the big day. and that's exactly what one couple had deal with when the kincade fire threatened their dream wedding in sonoma county.

today in the bay snows us how the guests joined together to figure out a last-minute can-do to live happily ever happen. >> they knew they wanted the wedding to be spectacular. >> we loved the backyard and the wine and wine country and we fell in love with this venue. >> on the day of the wedding the kincade fire roared dangerously close to emily's dream wedding venue in calistoga. even though the property was in the clear all morning, 30 minutes before the walk down the aisle, the fire marshal ordered everyone to evacuate. >> we were already taking pictures. we were all ready to go. >> emily checked with a friend who offered to host the wedding at her house if the fires became too dangerous. >> a little residential house. and it is something that your mom lived in, retiring in. >> with only a few hours to spare, friends, family and

emily's vendors moved the wedding and made it happen. >> it worked out. it was magical. >> the friend's couple had space next to the house with a ceremony site and turned the long driveway into a catering space. >> everyone pitched in and helped and made an aisle, and it really transformed the place. my brother was knocking on doors of neighbors asking for chairs. >> it was family style. >> emily and greg shared their story with us from the french polynesia, celebrating their honeymoon, thankful for the support of friends and family. >> i can't believe people stopped. >> and giving new meaning to the saying, don't sweat the small stuff. nbc bay area news. >> wow, what a beautiful end. it is 7:12 right now. and there is much more ahead on "today in the bay," coming up, a new honor for a civil rights icon, the long-overdue tribute to tommy smith five decades after his landmark olympic moment. >> it is 7:12. and it is cold. beautiful view of san francisco.

oh, my. gorgeous. picture perfect. as we look over palo alto this saturday morning. the first saturday of november. the last day of daylight saving time. remember to set your clocks back tonight. one hour. as we fall back. alert neighbors say one of the rarest trees in the bay area, this ailing dawn redwood tree in downtown palo alto has a second chance at life. the tree dates back to the 1940s. until recently it was necked, when a few concerned neighbors saw the tree dying they notified the city and the city repaired a broken irrigation system to give it new life. it could be a sign of the

times. the company who saves homes in the bay area saying their furniture is staying inside homes longer and longer. business and tech reporter scott budman takes a look at what could be a troubling trend. >> reporter: okay, it's move in day at this campbell house. not for the new owners. but for the stagers. >> we're trying to finish it by this weekend, so they can have an open house. >> and the pressure is on. panacea home staging, the sellers are asking for $3.5 million. >> i'm going to be putting a tree here. >> while high end homes are taking longer to sell. in fact, real estate tracker core logic says such sales have dropped 6% since this time last year. prices also down by 2%. so first impressions are crucial. >> as soon as they pull up to the front of your house, they're making a decision.

>> sellers know, buyers are taking longer to pull the trigger. >> it's really concentrating all that you know, to please as many buyers as you can. >> with houses on the market longer, panacea owner pamela noodleman keeps extra furniture on hand because these items stay in the house longer. >> i have a whole attic for comforters and another attic for pillows. >> selling you a glimpse of the future, even if it takes more time. >> there you go. >> scott budman, nbc news bay area news. >> more than 50 years ago, they raised their protests and now they're getting a long overdue honor, civil rights icons and olympic medalist tommy smith and john carlos formally were inducted into the u.s. olympic hall of fame. the ceremony was at usoc headquarters in colorado springs. minutes after being honored,

tommy smith flew back to san jose, where he was greeted by a cheering crowd, at the san jose museum of art. smith, a one-time san jose state track standout, said he accepted the acknowledgment for the young man he was back in 1968. >> and i did not receive the justice for me, but you see how i carried that trophy tonight, and looking at that 24-year-old young student athlete from san jose state university earned that. >> last night the party was held to honor smith and formally open a new exhibit entitled with drawn arms, it focuses on his history and his contribution to society, and the exhibit runs until april 5th. congratulations to him. let's check in now with vianey arana with a look at our weekend forecast. weird to say, this time tomorrow will be 6:00 a.m. yes, i think that is kind of nice. >> yes. >> that is nice.

>> getting to sleep in. >> if you wake up with us, you will get to sleep in. a good start but a cold one, vianey. >> i like the cold though. >> i don't know about you. >> i own a lot of coats that don't get a lot of use. so it is good to be able to use them. >> yes. >> by the middle of the day, you may not need the coat. as you know, that's kind of how california rolls a beautiful start. look at the sun there. the current temperature right now, in san jose, 42 degrees. and wind speeds 3 miles an hour. not a factor. let's get right to the temperatures, this is what i mean when i say it is really cold in some spots, including santa rosa, look at that 35 degrees, if you're anywhere near santa cruz, we're in the 40s but looking at the sheltered valleys, interior valleys like livermore, 39, half moon bay, 37, and san francisco, one of the warmer spots at 50 degrees. and there is a frost advisory that remains in place, until 9:00 a.m., for these highlighted areas, that you see here in blue, on the map, and we're talking isolated areas could

even dip down in the 20s which means some patchy frost is possible and it may be time to start turning on the car, let it warm up a little bit, and also, a good reminder, bring in your pets, if you typically have a larger animal that sleeps outside, a dog, bring them in overnight, a little too cold and also protect the nice beautiful plants that you have going on, my parents would do that all the time to make sure they don't get frostbite. the microclimate highs for today are above the normal for this time of the year. about five to seven degrees in some spots including down to the south bay. san jose, 77 degrees. and morgan hill, 79. concord, 77. and along the peninsula, the coastline area, we're talking mid 70s as well. and it is going to be warm, and it is going to be sunny as well. and i want to tap into the winds. because last weekend, this was a much different picture. we were very concerned about the wind, as you know. this wind event, we don't have one this weekend, so it is going to be a calm weekend ahead. look at that, maybe just a light breeze for half moon bay at 11

miles an hour. aside from that, though, we're not really concerned about the winds which means no wind chill right now. let's talk about the rain outlook. we did mention, that the high pressure still dominating, still holding on tough and i fast forward the time line all the way through november 11th. the reason is there is a system through the pacific northwest, right around that time, but because that high pressure remains so dominant, it is actually blocking the chance of us seeing any rain. at least not for the next two weeks. which is our best chance of seeing rain. it is probably not going to be until the second half of november. and that is when we may be seeing our first rainfall of the winter. almost winter, right? the season. something to keep in mind over the next seven days, a quick reminder, daylight savings time, we were just talking about that, don't forget, your phone and all of that does it automatically but your microwave clock, your stove top clocks might not do it so get that extra hour of sleep in. over the next seven days we remain in the 60s for san francisco. and today is the warmest day in

san francisco. and then heading into sunday, when we fall back by one hour. and we will see the daytime highs, 68 degrees, and through the inland areas and 79, we will go to the 80s and stick to the 70s for the rest of the week. kira? >> gorgeous forecast, vianey, thanks. still ahead on today in the bay, a group of friends just returned to the same vacation home they were in when the 2017 north bay wildfire ignited. we'll explain why they came back, as part of our bay area proud series, after the break.

welcome back. 350 acres have been destroyed, 350 structures have been lost in the kincade fire and for the people who lost their homes, the road ahead can be dark, and there are signs of hope. today, garvin thomas brings us a happy ending of sorts, to a story of a group of friends coming back after those fires.

>> it is not very often these days that nicole morally, tanya orvin and five other childhood friends from minnesota are able to get away for a girl's weekend. >> when they do, though, there's always a lot of laughs. plenty of reminiscing. and yes, a good bit of good wine. >> is it inappropriate to drink red wine at 10:00 in the morning? >> no. >> it should be noted though, that the last time these seven got together, exactly two years ago, in wine country, there was one more shared activity. running for their lives. >> i turned around and said to her, we need to go. we need to wake everybody up and we need to go. >> that was caught on security camera footage, the night of october 8, 2017, as the nunn fire raced toward their vacation rent until glenn ellen. the women would escape but within hours, the home would

burn to the ground. >> wow, what did we just get out of, and how close were we? >> it was all from this way. >> beth wald is the owner of the vacation rental. >> if anything happened to them, it doesn't matter about the house, it's people, and i was so worried that they were okay, that they got out. >> she set to work rebuilding it, almost exactly the way it was. save a few meaningful touches. like the redwood for the deck. coming from a tree on the property that didn't survive the fire. but the best touch of all, beth thought, would be to have these women from minnesota back, as the rebuilt home's very first guests. for free, of course. >> it is sophist kafted. >> allowing them to have a happy ending on a vacation that was so frightfully interrupted. >> this means the world. that night was tragic. the weeks that followed were

horrible. we survived something that is unspeakable. so them coming back, and the joy in their face, being able to share the rebuild of the house, it's just so meaningful. >> and meaningful, not just to beth, but to the whole region. getting the word out that there are people here with open hearts who are once again open for business. and it turns out in this story, the hospitality is going both ways. you can see, the seven women have invited beth and her husband to come to the midwest, and stay for free at a cabin one of the women owns on a lake. garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. >> love that story, garvin, thanks. it is 7:27. we have much more ahead on today in the bay, coming up, from fire to ice. a brand new challenge for hundreds of thousands of people returning home after the kincade

fire. and also, demanding answers from tesla. what the feds specifically want elon musk to tell them.

good saturday morning. it is 7:30 on the dot. here is a live look outside in downtown san jose. it is november 2. and the last morning of daylight saving time. thanks so much for joining us. i'm kira klapper. vianey arana has a look at the microclimate out there. it is chilly out there and at this time tomorrow, it will be 6:30 a.m. >> that's right. >> the current temperatures right now in the 30s. every time i tweet that we have a cold start, somebody from the east coast will reply, oh, that's not cold. it's not cold. >> yes. >> it's cold for us. >> it is cold for us. >> for san francisco. look at that. pretty colors there. and 53 right now in san francisco. that's one of our warmer spots. and you're saying what, that's

warm. look at the comparison, in terms of where we are in santa rosa, 35 degrees, and we've got some 30s in livermore and 39, and san jose, 42 degrees and half moon bay, 37 degrees and those 30s could even dip down into some 20s for the valleys which is why there is a frost advisory in place until 9:00 a.m. for the north bay valleys and we're talking about the possibility of some patchy frost out there which means you have to get out early and try to turn your car on and make sure your windshield is good to go and if you're wondering why we keep talking about getting to sleep in, daylight savings time is ending, don't forget to set back the clocks, and the phone does it automatically. microwaves, ovens. i think my car doesn't do that. >> i have to do my car, too. >> you know what's funny, though ever since having kids daylight saving time is nice until you have kids. they don't get the memo that it's 6:30 instead of 7:30 but you do what you can. all right. vianey, see you in about 15

minutes. >> sounds good. >> thanks. we learned late last night that a fifth victim has died in connection with thursday's shooting at a halloween party in orinda. we're told she is 19 years old from vallejo. and that she passed away in the hospital last night. we also know the identity of the four other victims who were killed at that halloween party inside a rented airbnb. they're all young men in their 20s. all from across the bay area. that is five confirmed dead. and three more victims who are still being treated at local hospitals. we have video that was posed to social media from inside that party, just seconds before shots rang out. police tell us they continue to search for the shooter. >> this is a party that had over 100 people in it. and all of those people are potential witnesses to what happened. >> deputies say they don't know what triggered the shooting. they say orinda police were called to the home twice, for noise complaints, and that when they arrived, party-goers already were running from the

shooting. and the party never should have happened. that's what neighbors tell us. they say they have complained before about their very same airbnb rental. there is now a push in orinda to look at the city rules that allowed the house to be rented out in the first place. today in the bay has the report. >> reporter: neighbors say this wasn't the first time huge crowds had gathered to party at this home in orinda hill, and a scene that the city looked to avoid and only 13 could stay at a short term rental and it is clear the rules couldn't be followed and now it looks like the mayor will have another look. >> we will be looking at the regulations, and then determining whether those regulations could be added to, or whether there is any enforcement that can be increased. >> the owner of this property has already run afoul of the rules a couple of times. the first time was for a rowdy party this march, and the second was because guests left a mess in the street in july. and both times, the owner met with city officials, and

corrected the issue. and the city says last night was the third incident reported. >> i believe they tried to call the police as well. or they did call the police as well. >> orinda city manager steve solomon says the house was listed on two rental platforms. >> we have contacted airbnb, as well as booking.com, to get this particular location taken off of the site. >> arizoirbnb has already said pulled the property as the investigation continues. the city council is expected to meet tuesday and expected to consider new rules on short term rentals here, rules that could go as far as an outright ban. nbc bay area news. >> the owner of that home says the people who rented it lied to them, claiming this he were looking to get away from smoke from the sonoma county wildfire. the san francisco-based airbnb released this statement, saying, we are horrified by this tragedy, and are in close communication with the chief david cook of orinda police, to

offer our support with his investigation into who committed this senseless violence. we of course will continue to chase every development on this story. our web site, nbc bay area.com, is a great resource for the most up to date information any time on your phone or computer. we have new video showing just how close the kincade fire came to burning right through the town of windsor. we also have new numbers. the fire is now 70% contained. but as thousands of evacuees start heading home, they have a new challenge. thousands of homes still don't have natural gas service. which means no heat. and as vianey just said, temperatures are dipping into the 30s. today in the bay has more. >> we have no oven. we wanted a hot meal. >> having dinner at a pg&e warming center at a church and opened the shelter as crews

worked to restore natural gas service to the kincade fire evacuation home. >> cold shower. it's exhilarating. >> many evacuees are making the best of cold conditions. no gas means no hot water. and no heat. with a freeze warning in effect. >> so it was very, very cold last night. and woke up this morning, it was about 49 degrees in the house. >> winter jackets are essential, inside and outside, for a few days. pg&e says it turned gas service off, to more than 24,000 customers. as a precaution. so far, crews have re-lit nearly 7,000 pilot lights and aren't expected to start that process in healdsburg until tonight. >> we layer on at night, the blankets and the clothing. a few layers. >> marie johnson is bundled up. cooking with an electric skillet and toaster oven. they are cold but not complaining. >> we are really happy that the

town is here. >> nbc bay area news. in other news, president trump held a campaign rally last night in mississippi, and was quick to criticize house speaker nancy pelosi. >> are you going to look at her district, in san francisco, you are going to look at her district in san francisco, she is spending ought of the time on this crap, or this, take a look at what is happening, to the great city of san francisco. it's thousands and thousands of tents and drugs and needles. and everything you can imagine floating in the streets. in the best neighborhoods. nancy pelosi. go home and fix your district, nancy. go home and fix your district. >> the president also joked about beto o'rourke's decision to withdraw from the race for

the white house and joked about the infamous ukraine call that pushed the democrats to impeach him. tesla is on the federal government's radar after some recent car fires of the national highway traffic safety administration sent a letter to the palo alto-based automaker saying it has launched an investigation into the fires in model s and model x cars, between 2012 and 2019. the investigation focuses on fires that started when the cars were either parked or being driven. the federal agency said it also wants information from the company about any fires that may have not been reported by the media. 7:39. still ahead on "today in the bay", the warriors begin life without steph curry. could the team rally to get their first win at chase center. we'll show you next. 360 smart bed. can it help keep us asleep? yes, it senses your movements and automatically adjusts to keep you both comfortable. and now, save $1,000 on the new sleep number 360 special edition smart bed, now only $1,799. only for a limited time.

look at that, concord, 77, and through san francisco, 72, and up through santa rosa, nearing those 80s, so we are above normal, and especially considering we're officially november, for this time of the year, and let's talk about the reason why, but before i get to that, i want to show you, the stunning view of squaw valley, this is a beautiful look there, and some of the forecast, i bring it to you on the weekend, let's get right to that, if you're heading out the door, on the way to the sierra, expect great conditions, we're talking about 50s and 60s, so you will definitely be needing a jacket, because the overnight lows are also dipping down into the 30s. up through the sierra. so be prepared as you head up there. and heading into tomorrow, similar conditions as well. it is actually going to be a little bit colder and let's talk about the rain outlook for the next several days, because a lot of people have been wondering when is our next chance of rain? well, as i mentioned the high pressure has been hanging on tight. and because of high pressure, it has been so dominant, we have systems that are developing just off the pacific northwest, but it is creating a sort of a block. otherwise known as a rex block

and preventing the storms from coming in. as high pressure continues to dominate, we are expecting it to stay this way, at least through the first half of november and then a better chance of seeing some rain, anywhere between the 50s, with the percentage up 50% and then we may have the approach of seeing some rain around here. and yes, we are seeing rain later than we typically are used to for the month of november. don't forget we fall back one hour. if you have old school clocks, make your microwave, that's the one i can think of for me, you get to sleep in an extra hour tomorrow morning. and a little more awake. 68 degrees. you may not need that extra shot of espresso. the 60s dominating the forecast for the next several days in the bay area. >> 7:47. still ahead on "today in the bay," ready or not, the holiday

means, less time to get it all done. here's nbc's vicky wynn with some tips for all of us. >> 'tis the season for savings. both in stores, and online. >> it's what i like to call, a shopper's market so don't make any purchases until you find a sale or a deal or a cash-back offer. >> what should you buy right now? >> clothing. outer wear. beauty products. electronic. and cook ware. but wait until after the holidays to buy things like linens and fitness equipment. and when it comes to toys, it is a catch 22. right now, stores are full of toys because they're coming out but in the ten days leading up to christmas, you could see lower prices, and you also run the risk of popular toys running out. >> so if you're shopping brick and mortar, here is how to get the best deals. start early in the morning right when the stores open. >> many retailers offer door buster deals but they don't last all day. >> another tip, skip the front of the store and head to the back and these items are less

likely to picked over and there is a better selection. >> and whatever deals you find in stores, you will probably find online, too. and that doesn't mean you can't get an even better deal. >> it only takes a couple of minutes to look around the internet and do a little bit of price comparison and see who offers the best deal. >> invisible hand, and shop tagger for instance, help with the lowest prices by scouring the internet for coupon codes and deals. and camel camel camel will help you track the item you want on amazon. >> the cordless vac uuum 599 rit now but in june, it was 489, so if you don't need it right away, you might want to wait for the next price drop. >> hoping for a better price, web sites alert you when the price drops to your savings sweet spot. and if you like bargaining, try price waiter where you negotiate

with retailers for the best price on a product. >> like the msrp, it is $1499, and let's beat that. so there is this but top, it says make an offer, i will click on that and it instantly tells you the price on amazon, which i would have looked at it, is $898 and i will see if i can try to beat that. and $800. i will submit my offer. and now i wait. >> within sections, look at that, i didn't get it for $800. but they did give me $44 off the amazon price. so if i want it, i just click on check out. >> but the simplest way to save money might be to wait it out. >> put the items you want in your cart and resist to buy right away and close your cart and go about your day and the store might send you a reminder email about your cart and a bonus coupon to get to you buy. >> there is the email in my in box, come back 15 for a discount of 15% off. >> and all of these discounts add up to real savings over the holiday shopping season.
