stoke street just about the length of a football field. so very compact scene there. a neighbor told me it happened so often to her and her neighbors that police advised her to leave her karun locked to try to save the expense of another broken window. they don't know what to do. they're at their wits end and have taken valuables out of their car and don't know what to do next. police told us these are hard because they have to catch them in the action usually. although one of the arrests in fremont happened because police did use a license plate reader and they were able to track down a stolen car. in sunnyvale, kris sanchez, "today in the bay.." >> kris, go check your own car. a hearing for the man acquitted in the kate steiny shooting. he was found not guilty in november of 2017. his attorneys argued that the gun went off accidentally after zoratty found the weapon under a

the map shows the outline of the deadly wine country fires that happened here in our north bay. the red box shows how big the the wildfires are in australia. over 32,000 square feet have burned. that is the size of of san jose and san francisco and santa rosa combined. and right now at 5:09, we have cool temperatures but not as cold as past few mornings we've had here around the bay area. we're right now at 50 degrees as you step out in oakland. 45 in livermore and 49 in san jose. if you're on the way out of the door in pleasant hill, expect temperatures at 45 degrees. and still a heavier jacket needed but the rest of the day may be some light long sleeves as we reach into the mid-50s with a mix of sun and clouds. i'm tracking the next round of rain and mike is looking at richmond. >> very light rain at the bridge to san rafael but notice the

right now at 5:13, as we check out antioch and the morning drive, visibility is clearer because we do have clouds overhead and temperatures are not as cool as the clouds act as a blanket to keep temperatures from cooling down so much. we'll have a nice day but more rain in the forecast. more on that in less than five minutes. and over the last five minutes we've seen this back-up start to form once again. notice in the fast track lanes in the middle oa lights but an issue you might

ennt into the area. and good morning. i'm rahel solomon at nbc headquarters with the top business headlines. wall street expected to open slightly lower this morning following the missile attacks on the u.s. air bases in iraq. stock futures have plunged and the dow is indicated to fall more than 400 points and have come off the overnight lows and looking like 23 points. oil prices also surge as much as 4% but have now pulled back, up about half a percent as they await a response. we await president trump on a possible u.s. response. stocks in asia and europe lower as well. and sprint is shutting down virgin mobile usa next month and will transfer customers to boost mobile. virgin has 6 million subscribers and customers could keep the phone and pay the same price but you may have to change how you pay because it will not support paypal accounts. and the holidays are over. but we still may be paying for

the head with it. >> i wouldn't really know about either one. >> let's check your weather. >> we're starting out this morning with a little bit of some wet weather left on the ground after a few spotty showers move through. not all of us have the rain. as we take this live look outside in downtown san jose. the rain kind of skipped here but close by in milpitas. as we check out high temperatures today. we're making it up to 56 degrees in east san jose. 57 downtown. toward the east bay, up to 60 in danville and for the peninsula 54 in half moon bay and redwood city reaching 55 degrees. 57 in the mission district. and the north bay reaching 58 degrees in sonoma and in novato. so we are going to see the slight chance of rain today after the weather system that passed by overnight. still brings in some wet weather but our better chance of rain will be tomorrow morning. for today, we're seeing a mix of sun and clouds. and then here we go through the

timeline at 2:30 to 3:00 tomorrow morning. we're starting out with some rain. even though it is light. it looks to be more widespread than the round of rain we had and then by noon it is out of here. so it is an early morning event and it does clear out for the rest of the day. friday is also looking dry. as we look as how much rain this may bring, very light amounts and it is once again going to be all dependent on where you are. some areas could get about three tenths of an inch and other areas barely measuring anything like the parts of the south bay. maybe higher for the north bay. once again we're dry on friday but we're also watching this chance of showers on sunday. and we know we have the 49ers home game. it will be happening. the rain chances highest in the morning. that may linger into the time for kickoff. and then on sunday we're seeing some sunshine and more rain in the forecast early next week. as we head over to mike. folks are lining up to get into

san francisco. that is right. and i want to say lining up to get into san francisco for the fast track because they didn't want to say they are getting up to get out of oakland. that is a negative connotation. we're building in toward the commute. more folks heading toward the office but not at the full commute like back in november. so we're looking over here at a nice drive through contra costa county. one issue for that county is getting toward the bay bridge. around barrett, the overcrossing and a crash and in moments should be clear and should have moved the vehicle but there is concern that the vehicle went through the kay rail so we'll get you updates on whether or not they have to keep the slow lane blocked. a hit-and-run off the dumbarton bridge in the fremont newark side so maybe slowing but no major problem. watch the thornton off-ramp first one as you make land.ut o moves smoothly.

casualties. the president tweeted all is well. these attacks in response to a u.s. response after an attack that killed the general. >> our assignment editor stationed there said the base is very large and it may be why there are no casualties reported so far. >> in the ten months i was there, and this is at a time when we had a lot more troops there than we do now, not one piece of artillery ended up within the base itself. no mortars, nothing penetrated the base. and this is from insurgents that would have been in iraq trying to attack us. >> one of at least two air bases that iran hit with air strikes yesterday. hundreds of american forces in iraq are stationed there. again, no official word on casualties. after an incident like this security is on the minds of people here at home including bay area agencies across the

spectrum. "today in the bay's" bob redell working on that part of the story this morning. >> reporter: there is no indication that local law enforcement are doing anything different. we have reached out to b.a.r.t. and local police and still waiting to hear back. we did speak with sfo and the duty manager said there is no change in operations at the airport but did point out that law enforcement there is obviously aware of what is going on in alert. the department of homeland security issued a security bulletin this weekend letting us know they're working with federal and state and local and private sector partners and if necessary they would be increasing security in order to defend the homeland. take a look at this tweet put out by our colleagues the law enforcement colleagues down in southern california. this is from the los angeles county sheriff's office. urging everyone to stay vigilant to any changes or threats after that launch last night by iran against the troops in iraq and

say that this is a quote from the sheriff, know what is going on around you and if you see anything out of place, please do not assume someone else has called to report the incident. if you see it, call 911. that kind of advice would apply in northern california as well. live in millbrae, bob redell, "today in the bay.." a american contractor killed in iraq was from sacramento. he was buried over the weekend. he was killed minute rocket launch back in december. this is really the genesis of all of these attacks. some u.s. leaders say the attack is believed to have sparked the u.s. to kill the iranian general soleimani. we'll continue to track the developments overseas throughout the morning and provide updates on our digital platforms. if and when the president speaks we'll bring it to you live. 5:34 right now. and here at home, someone may be shooting a pellet gun at cars
