and mike, you're updating the crash in fremont. >> that is right. over by the toll plaza for the dumbarton bridge, got a little more detail. that is the only crash of note on our roadways that is reported by chp and that is dwraet. we have a lighter flow of traffic building south 880 toward west 84 and near the toll plaza the crash should be and in san francisco aside from the bay bridge toll plaza we have the closure of a ban for private vehicles along market street and we'll talk more about that coming up. >> we'll check back with you, mike. coming up on "today in the bay," barbie may be plastic but some are calling the company behind the doll fantastic. >> the high praise it is getting on social media this morning. plus facebook reveals new ways to track you around the world and we'll show you how to find out when "today in the bay" continues. >> you pay extra for soda, beer and water. but good luck getting your deposit back. >> you can't charge someone a

said they're innocent of a crime post police body cam video that shows they're innocent? and what if the alleged victim didn't want them to. and time is getting type for sb-50, that proposed law to allow high density housing around transit centers. sc to get that passed. facebook has launched what it is called the off facebook tracker. even if the facebook app on your phone is closed, shut down, facebook could still follow you around in partnership with other apps and websites. so i pulled up mine, this is on a pc and it shows the other websites that are sharing information about me and if we delve into one of them, nbc news for instance, it shows what nbc is telling facebook about me and vice versa. you can manage each relationship, turn it off if you wish. it is under your settings. i think people know this happens. i think they would be surprised

as to how much it happens. now you know that talk that facebook is listening in on the microphone and, laura, we have tested it. we've come up with completely nonsensical stuff. like i'm interested in buying a kawasaki motorcycle to see what happens. nothing does. but i think this is where people think facebook is listening to them, they are tracking you in so many different ways, it seems spooky. >> very much so. and then you have to maneuver through the settings to try to figure out. >> you do. and it is different on pc and -- but it is findable, i thanks, s trending this morning, many people on social media applauding barbie's 2020 fashionista line. there are number of firsts. mattel has included a doll meant to represent the skin condition of vit iego and a barbie with no hair and a da-- a doll with a darker skin tone that has a prosthetic limb and there is a ken with long hair. you name it, and they're

starting to get it. >> i like it when they started doing the different careers of the barbie. the astronaut and things like that. so that is really cool. >> because you think about it, as a little bigirl, there was never a little mexican barbie and it is good to see representation. >> i'm looking for does her homework without prompting barbie. as an example. for example. >> your daughter. >> perhaps. >> one day in the future. >> all right. we've got meteorologist barbie and we're possibly going to see something to track here as we go through the forecast. as we start off this morning, we've been watching out for some dense fog. but we're not seeing it right now in san francisco. a clear view right there on the corner of the screen. can can you see the cloit tower lit the 49ers colors and a lot of celebrations over the next few days. we're walking out of the door to temperatures in the low 40s. upper 40s now in san francisco. elsewhere it feels cooler. so if you are heading out in

concord, grab that jacket. we will start out with a need of a jacket today. but later on this afternoon we will see a nice warm-up with a mostly sunny sky. temperatures reaching into the low 60s. in fact for the south bay we're reaching 63 degrees downtown and in gilroy up to 64 and 65 in concord today. hayward reaching 60 degrees. and also 60 in san mateo and in redwood city. in the upper 50s in san francisco and the north bay reaching up to 65 degrees in napa. now check out the seven-day forecast. it is already up at the bottom of the screen. we're seeing a lot of rain. just not here in the bay area. it is going all to the pacific northwest. they're getting slammed with an athe why. we're missing out on the rain as high pressure builds. high pressure causes the wind to spin clockwise and also descends as it sinks down close to the earth it warms up and that is

why the temperatures will head above normal even close to 70 degrees over the next few days. patchy dense fog.ky cle we're looking at temperatures that will be in the upper 60s over the next few days. and then we will have a cooldown early next week. but it comes along with with more dry weather. mike, you're tracking a few minor issues out there? >> i am. and one major issue. folks know what i'm talking about. but the minor crash by the dumbarton bridge is not a problem. no lanes reported blocked for 84 and south bay showing light traffic from north 101, same pattern. lighter wednesday along the peninsula. and through the tri-valley where there will be patchy dense fog, kari is showing us what we can't see from the dublin camera from time to time and the build now for concord and walnut creek and coming down highway 4 and 680 ought of hercules a traffic should be cleared. the big issue is in san

francisco. not the freeway but the approach toward 101, you cannot access van ness all the way to embarcadero back and forth. now the commute heading in toward the financial district for example, you cannot take your private vehicle. it is banned from market street. which is open to transit and to private taxis but look at surface street traffic and howard with slowing. we'll end with our waze maps. our partners have the maps and the traffic data. mission street is a good alternate heading into the area. as well as bryant. why not these avenues because they are one way. the other direction for howard and harrison. waze knows that. nbc bay area wazers could help you. >> thanks, mike. 6:23 now. on "today in the bay," maybe you have this same security device on your home? what now? we'll tell you about a woman filing a lawsuit against the makers of that popular what she said hackers were able to do that left her daughter terrified. plus some shocking video out

of the east bay. a disabled man assaulted in a target store and what police say the victim refused to do that enraged his accused attacker.

hard to watch video, pleasant hill police posted it a couple of weeks ago. the man that you see approaching the disabled man is now under arrest. he started to wheel the victim outside and the victim resisted and then eventually he gets slammed to the ground. investigators say it all started because of the victim called the suspect's wife out while she sat illegally parked in his disabled spot outside of the store.

later the suspect went on to confront the victim demanding they apologize, which the victim refused to do. a new lawsuit has been filed against ring. the company who sells the popular home surveillance cameras. ashley la may is a customer who claims the ring device are a prime target for hackers. in a video that went viral last month hackers appear to be talking to her daughter through the ring camera in their bedroom. la may and two others are suing ring and they told the "today" show that they created a complex password but they were still hacked. in a statement, thbs news the ring said that it has confirmed that the incident involving the la may family was in no way related to a breach or compromise in ring security. 6:27 now. up next on "today in the bay," months after a murder case that lefted investigators stumped, deputies release new clues to crack the case. plus market street makeover. don't even think about driving down that street any more.

let's check with kari hall and tracking the conditions that we'll see throughout the bay area. >> or not see. because visibility is very low in the tri-valley. but elsewhere it is looking pretty good. we've seen that fog kind of drifting in and out of napa. elsewhere where we are starting tout clear. especially in mountain view as you get ready to head out of the door. it is going to start out at 43 degrees at 7:00. and then warm up today, we have a lot of sunshine and a really nice day aahead. and we'll talk about what is going on for the rest of the week coming up. mike, you're seeing the patchy fog as an issue too. >> that is true. and you're showing us with the cameras what we couldn't does i visibility through pleasanton and dublin so keep that in mindment but speeds are are pleasant, but kicking in from the south bay. a couple of minor vehicles sabled on eastbound 580 and in castro valley. no lanes blocked. but the big issue is one major road that is banning traffic for

all of the vehicles. market street is closed off to private vehicles like you and me. that means that all of this surface street traffic will be another route for folks avoiding the purple route. now this is not just one area with a problem. this is this entire stretch again between the embarcadero and van ness. for more on this and he's reading the signs literally out there, pete you've been out there with the closure with market happening overnight and we're talking about a big project there. >> reporter: yeah, big project. three the first part where folks can't drive along this portion of market street. we're standing in front of that area. fact there is the sign showing folks not to turn on that part of market street. but we'll show the viewers the map of the impacted area. we're talking about two miles of market street going eastbound from tenth to main street and westbound from stewart street to van ness avenue. so this morning, no private cars

are allowed to drive along that stretch of the market street, only buses, taxis and bikes and commercial vehicles and emergency vehicles like police and fire trucks can still drive along that area. now rieft -- now private cars could cross the street, just can't turn on it. the better city project will roll out in three phases with the intent to use public transportation and to create a safer place for pedestrians and parking officers and sfpd to help folks out. here is what people are saying. >> it is longer commute time for me because everybody is bottlenecked. >> i think it is good cause. we have to think about the workers in the city, the pedestrians. >> reporter: now the second phase is going to begin in the spring for that market street project. i was referring to the focus on bus-only lanes from third to

main street. and then the third phase will focus more in that ellison jones area that will begin in the summertime. back out here live and you see the no turns on to market street and 124 collisions happened on market street between octavia and stewart in 2018. now back to pliek -- to mike in studio to talk more about the impact of the changes on market street. >> that is right. and you mention the impact on traffic and you're talking about safety and pedestrians and bicyclist safety one of the major concerns with the changes. get more information on bettermarketstreetsf.org and they have a cool interactive map. i want to show you this key, whether you travel by foot or private or auto or a bike and from the green to the red, you move that around and maybe starting on larkin and toward spear where you're a destination

over in through the closure. it is recommending that the majority of folks including pederians will travel along mission right now. that is one alternate for you. but as you get out of the area you switch to the green and the red and it will reverse the route and give you other options because, remember, howard and harrison, those are one way out of the area from the embarcadero. for more information be sure to download the nbc bay area app as well for more on the market street closure and the changes and also our traffic which is powered by waze. it is free, guys. that is great. >> it is. thanks so much, mike. 6:35. deputies say one person is in custody tied to a scare that put mt. tam high school on lockdown yesterday afternoon when witnesses say they saw a teenager wearing a ski mask carrying an assault rifle. police say the teenager was looking into cars on homestead boulevard near the school's baseball field. the school was on lockdown. it was eventually lifted about 4:00 p.m. after officers searched the area and couldn't find the suspect. right now marin county deputies

they're trying to steal an election, it's not happening foengs. it's not happening. >> but the sound bites out of washington and elsewhere are so skewed instead of he said, she said, we need more he said and here are the facts. case in point, the argument over john bolton who used to be a conservative hero way farther to the right than donald trump who is now being attacked by his own party. and praised by democrats who used to not trust him at all. he is a potential witness who could sink trump's case. trump tweeted why didn't john bolton complain about this nonsense a long time ago when he was very publicly terminated. he said, not that it matters, nothing. this statement is entirely false. john bolton asked his staff to bring in lawyers from the national security council to raise the alarm about the phone call to the ukraine president. we know this because bolton's own assistant fiona hill on the

national security council herself testified to this months ago. bolton did raise the alarm. reports say senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has warn with -- has warned republicans he doesn't have enough votes to block witnesses in the trial. thousand that could be true, that could be selective way to rally the troops. we'll find out later this week. the business of government continues. today the president will sign the usmca into law, the new nafta. both sides like it. democrats got more than they le so many bollic signing in 2018. is pasts the u.s. congress and the other legislatures, it will become official this afternoon. our special coverage of the impeachment trial will continue today. again this is the question-and-answer phase. two days of that. we think. that will start live on nbc bay area at 10:00 a.m. >> thank you very much, scott. 6:49 now. trending this morning, any plans for romance on valentine's day? one hotel in canada seeking

[ laughter ] >> kids, clean your rooms. always clean your rooms. >> good advice. let's get started today. and we're going to also start out with some cool temperatures.

we've seen some patchy dense fog across parts of the bay area. here is a live look outside in richmond as the sun rises. it is a beautiful view and not a whole lot of clouds here but low visibility in napa as well as livermore. just watch out for that fog. elsewhere temperatures are in the mid to upper 40s. we have some cooler temperatures for the inland valley. getting the kids up and ready for school this morning in the south bay, we're at 45 degrees at 7:00. and then as we go throughout the upper0s jacket weather but probably enjoying a nice afternoon outside with light long sleeves. we'll see the temperatures reaching 63 in4. a high of 63 in walnut creek. oakland reaching 61 degrees. and up to 60 today in redwood city. we'll stay in the upper 50s in san francisco and the north bay reaches 65 in santa rosa and in napa. so let's talk about what is going on here as we look at the

wide view of the satellite radar. there is actually an atmospheric river just to our north hitting the pacific northwest. a steady stream of rain, just keep this in mind if you are traveling there but we'll miss out on all of the rain. the reason why is we have high pressure building causing the air to sink and it rotates clockwise so we're seeing the sinking air causing clear skies and keeping the rain to the north of the bay area. so as we also get the clear skies, we're also going to warm up. we're look at well above normal temperatures here. with some mid-60s today. upper 60s by the end of the week. and even as a cold tront moves through on sunday, still looking dry. no r in t s. n san jose. >> i do, kari. we've had very few crashes reported this morning this is a bigger deal because it is north 87 at kurtner where the commute is in the area. i do believe they'll clear that quickly to the shoulder and no

major injuries reported and a standard build for south. that is a critical factor on 87 and i'll do that. and the peninsula moves nicely but getting here there may be an issue a crash just as you exit the dumbarton bridge toward facebook out of fremont and newark. maybe a distraction. maybe a lane blocked for a few. a little build for walnut creek and concord, a smoother drive here and upper east shore and order the bay bridge toll plaza where the metering lights are on but fast track lanes slowly moving. not driving on market. that is what you do today. you drive a vehicle and it is banned from van ness and the embarcadero. pete suratos has been out there telling us about traffic flow but if you avoid market we'll look at traffic already on streets to reroute. let's look at our partners with waze and they map out of the area into the embarcadero. to mission street which is still the best avenue but that is flooded soon. there are other one-way options but mission is the best two-way option and join nbc bay area

technology to detect sidewalk riding. "the chronicle" reports it could judge vibration data at timed intervals when a scooter is on the sidewalk and the technology notifies the rider. lime plans to test in san jose over the next few weeks. right now there is no fine or well gettind llegal sidewalk maybe a ride on a scooter isn't too bad. in the streets. >> right. that is where we're trying to be safe here and the helmet too. so we start out the morning, we're going to see temperatures in the 40s. up to 65 degrees. a lot of scooting going on for the next seven days. >> oto market street in your own private car. >> unless you have a scooter. >> that is true. >> let's ease away from market street and the traffic is banned in a prive vehicle and in the last few minutes they've adapted the route. use mission or bryant and they
