closer to the coast by this evening, around 10:00 we'll see some of that heavier rain arriving, so i'll have more on the time line coming up. mike, we're easing into that tuesday commute. >> that's right, easy breezy. i like it like that. we see a build over there in pleasanton, 680 toward sunol and south 858 past the san mateo bridge typical spots but usually that slowing pattern happens 30 minutes earlier. a lighter volume and later shift toward the end of the year after thanksgiving. it's more slowing pittsburg into bay point. highway 4, 242 and 680 in to walnut creek out of concord just starting to build, about 630 is when the speeds drop according to waze' predictive timing and over here 101 at hospital curve northbound, there may be a crash that's going on, we'll check on that status. meanwhile you guys are taking me to the north? >> that's right, we want to get back to that breaking news we have been following all morning here. this is out of solano county, where two people are dead, this is after a person shot after in

a vallejo neighborhood. bob redell is at the scene. have jegt investigators been ab piece together how this unfolded? >> reporter: they're still treating this as a double homicide, still investigating trying to find out what happened and that's one reason why they're waiting for the sun to come up, daylight and give them a better sense of what happened out here. we're on the 1,000 block of hargas avenue in vallejo. there is no longer a threat to the community, that the male suspect is dead. what's not clear is if he shot himself or shot by the other man who is also dead on the scene. again this is why the sheriff's office is investigating this as a double homicide. this started as an altercation at a home. a woman was inside the home with a teenaged boy, a younger child and another man. they believe he's either a friend or her boyfriend. deputy tells us that a second man possibly the woman's current or ex-husband, showed up around

midnight. there was an argument. the woman got hurt in the head. she has since been treated and released, she's going to be okay. the deputy says that current or ex-husband showed up, shot the other man, apparently the other man was trying to run away. his body is across the street from the home. the ex or current husband he's in a car in front of the home, dead from a gunshot wound, the gun found inside that vehicle, and the sheriff's office is saying want to reiterate there waiting for the sun to come up they were going to be out here for quite some time, hoping that that daylight will give them a better sense, some better eyes on the crime scene here behind me. reporting live here in vallejo, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thanks for sorting that one out for us, bob. it was also a deadly night in contra costa county. this is a look, take a look at that car, a crash scene, it left two people dead on i-80. this morning, the chp says it was a result of a wrong-way driver.

horizontally but it does scan vertically, giving us a two-dimensional view of the rain, revealing more of that storm data and it gives us a very high resolution, because it is an x-band radar and can pick up on wildfire smoke and it's exclusive to nbc bay area, as well as telemundo 48. that's the red scan we're seeing right there, and so far, it's been pretty dry, only picking up on some very light rain farther to the north, just south of ukiah. but here is a look at the bulk of the storm system that will be coming in later tonight, and into the day tomorrow, and there is another system behind that. we are going to see a couple of waves of rain coming in. but we are dry throughout most of the day. look at storm ranger on the nbc bay area app. you'll want to track it as the rain starts to move in later on this evening, and as we wake up tomorrow morning, off and on showers moving through, mostly for the first part of the day. by the afternoon, we're starting to see that rain taper off, and then we'll catch a little bit of a break here, but that's before we get another quarter to possibly half inch of rain,

higher amounts for parts of the north bay up to an inch of rain. also an inch of rain possible for the santa cruz mountains. thursday and friday is dry but we'll be watching this forecast, for the 49ers home game. it will also be here on nbc bay area, so if you don't want to have to deal with those rain chances, you can sit on your couch and watch it here. we'll also see the off and on showers continue through sunday. mike, it's looking pretty good out there right now. >> it is, considering right now 6:21 on a tuesday, this is what we're talking about a little bit lighter, kicking in a little bit later for the commute. here is the berkeley curve, great movement off of westbound 80. we have slowing here off of highway 24 and 580, as they funnel over. again the patterns are the same but the volume lighter, so traffic is still maintaining a pretty good pace here. a little slowing kicked off by an earlier crash over there in pinole and that sort of sticks around for the morning commute. same thing for slowing through concord and out of pittsburg and highway 4. the walnut creek interchange by the time you get there, 680 is great. vasco road kicked off with the

same timing, 35 to 40 minutes depending on where you come out of brentwood or byron and toward 580. no problems. waze timed it out and we predicted that timing. it will also warn you because of the community members have talked about the flat tire being fixed south 680 at vargas. use caution, the fast lanes still blocked. something new at the san mateo bridge, i will check that. back to you. >> we'll check back with you. sounds good, thanks, mike. 6:22. coming up next on "today in the bay," the search for missing teenagers from santa cruz county last seen in the bay area. missing siblings in florida who disappeared playing in the front yard. what one neighbor says he saw at the time they vanished. a plane's engine shooting sparks and flames. coming up, what the airline says triggered the emergency landing for a flight from southern california. you're watching "today in the bay."

minutes. >> car ', always gets to scoop me but i show it to you, palo alto. i want to show you the beautiful traffic, we're getting more traffic raising the volume but not lowering the speeds here. we'll talk about the rest of the bay coming up. back to our other breaking story for you this morning in contra costa county, two people are dead, this is after a suspected wrong-way driver caused this crash on i-80 overnight in pinole. >> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez joins us live from contra costa county this morning and really kris, there is a lesson we can all learn from this. >> reporter: you know, a lot of us who drive overnight in the dark what would you do if you saw headlights in the wrong direction. first how deadly these kinds of head-on crashes can be. this is what was left of the two vehicles that crashed here on interstate 80 near appian way in pinole. the trouble started before that, though, when the driver of the chevy trailblazer got on to i-80

headed in the wrong direction. that driver smashed into the other vehicle, we know two people died in this crash, at this point chp cannot say why that driver found themselves on the roadway in the wrong direction. however, according to the chp, a pinole sergeant, police sergeant saw that driver run two red lights and drop a passenger off before the crash. there was no pursuit however. the wrong-way drivers are not that common, but because they can be so deadly, you might wonder what you can do. the chp says if you see a driver headed in the wrong direction, whether it's on a highway like this one or whether on a one-way street, make your way all the way to the right, because that driver if they don't know they're headed in the wrong direction, they're probably going to be going against traffic, meaning they will be on your left-hand side in the fast lane, because that would be the normal convention of traffic flow. so find yourself all the way over to the right-hand side in the slow lane, stay away from the fast lane and whenever it's safe, pull over and call the

chp, so that they know that there is somebody headed in the wrong direction before they collide with somebody else. in pinole, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thank you, kris. 6:44 for you right now. a heartless and brutal crime in southern california, where a man was killed at his own wedding reception. >> and police say two brothers who crashed the big day are the ones responsible. investigators say the reception was being held at the victim's sister's home late saturday in chino. the suspects are said to be neighbors who showed up uninvited. they were asked to leave, but later returned and that's when his family members explained things turned violent. >> those cowards came back with bats, then they were in the alley and it was dark, they couldn't see. they couldn't see and they jumped the fence and they started hitting him with bats. >> very tragic. officers arrested both suspects.

in the meantime the victim's mother and siblings now have to care for his 11-year-old daughter from a previous marriage. it turns out he had full custody. 6:45 for you right now. today may be the last day president trump remains unimpeached. >> scott mcgrew the big vote probably coming tomorrow. >> laura, probably, the right way to phrase that. the debate in the house tomorrow with an impeachment vote expected in the evening. it goes long we could be looking at thursday. what's not much in doubt is that president trump will be impeached. more and more democrats in the house announcing a yes vote. here we see michigan's alyssa slotkin telling her constituents she'll vote yes. she got pushback, signs people want to impeach her. you can't impeach a member of congress. also, impeachment does not mean being thrown out of office. president trump remains president after impeachment. he goes to trial in the senate, if found guilty, then he would no longer be president and that's extremely unlikely.

the only real question is whether there will be witnesses at the trial. democrats want to call john bolton, calling the deal with ukraine a drug deal, chief of staff mick mulvaney no at one point admitted the quid pro quo, twice actually at this press conference only to walk it back. in total, democrats would like to see four witnesses. >> we don't know what kind of evidence they will present. they might present exculpatory evidence that helps president trump. it may be incriminating against the president, but they should be heard. >> rudy giuliani meanwhile continues to cause trouble for his client, donald trump, further expanding on what he said monday that he pushed for the ouster of ambassador marie yovanovitch because she stood in the way of investigating the bidens.

in a report released monday, the house accused trump of specific crimes including bribery, though we don't think that will change the impeachment charges of abuse of office and obstruction of congress. either way, remember impeachment doesn't need criminal charges and the trial is not going to look like a criminal trial. in a criminal trial, former trump adviser rick gates will be sentenced today for conspiracy and lying to the fbi. he was one of six people connected to donald trump convicted as part of the mueller probe. we're watching everything that happens in washington. of course, you can follow me on twitter. @scottmcgrew. trending this morning, can you feel it? there is the hype going on for the new "star wars" movie about to hit hyperspace especially after last night's red carpet premiere. ♪ >> very grand. lats lots of stars came out in l.a. to watch the very first unspooling of "star wars: the rise of skywalker." even chewbacca was said to show up. >> there you go.

he didn't give out any spoilers, neither did one of the stars, john boyega who does say being in the middle of it all feels a little surreal. >> i was one of the normal fans and to be in this position it's nuts. life is weird. >> the official embargo for reviews ends tomorrow so we don't know what critics are saying just yet. some fans who attended tweeted their reactions which really are running the spectrum. some call the film convoluted. others say it's satisfying. no doubt that's going to be another blockbuster. >> what could stop me from seeing this is -- >> nothing? >> nothing. exactly. >> a lot of people. presales for the tickets for the show have been on for a long thym time. there you have. the sunrise, gorgeous what, a start to our day. >> it's going to be a nice day overall. we will have a storm system coming in by this evening that will bring in some more widespread rain.

storm ranger tracking some light showers up around ukiah in a will move off toward the east and most of us won't see that. a look at the wide view of the system that's going to be moving in, bringing us some rain off and on especially tomorrow morning and another round of rain in the forecast on saturday. now we are, often have these maps and put a big "l" on it to show you where the low pressure is. low pressure forms where you have two different kinds of air mass, it could be dry air and warm air coming together or cool air and also warm air, now when they come together they are forced to rise up into the atmosphere, and kind of start to spin in a counter-clockwise direction as it rises. as that air gets higher in the atmosphere, it's cooler up there, so all of the moisture in that air condenses and starts to develop some rain, and once we get those clouds big enough, we can see a lot of heavy downpours, but a lot of times the rain is fairly light.

as we go into the next 24 hours, we'll start to see that rain coming in. our hour-by-hour forecast shows a lot of clouds today. off and on showers as we start out tomorrow where we see the yellows and the oranges indicates the heavier rain. off an own showers for the start of the day tomorrow and tomorrow evening tapingering off. models are going back and forth. showing up to an inch of rain in the santa cruz mountains. about a tenth to a quarter inch of rain in the north. we dry out again thursday and friday and another system coming in late on saturday will bring scattered showers throughout the day on sunday, and gradually taper off on monday with some cooler temperatures. we'll be tracking all of that for you and mike's taking us now to the south bay. >> that's right, kari. i have a couple notes.

just got a crash reported here northbound 101 right around mckee, shouldn't be a major issue and may be just someone pulling over for some mechanical issue. nonetheless it's there and the build for the south bay. we have a smooth drive look at the rest of your map, exceptionally light for 6:52 in the morning. remember, the last few weeks of the year we have that shift later and lighter for the commute. northbound 17 slowing though coming up toward lexington hills. i don't think it's related to that construction or landscaping. it's going on for a while but early start for that slowing there and we have right on schedule predicted out of sman martin 101 over the hill for highway 17 the drive back tough for early afternoon. the landscaping doesn't clear until about 3:00. starting to see it unclear, slow down out of lafayette west 24, the backup at the bay bridge toll plaza with the metering lights on and gradual slowing along the east shore freeway, a build out of richmond-san rafael
