meteorologist, kari hall, tracking the weather. >> yeah, the weekend weather going to be fantastic right now, but for drivers not so much because visibility is down to quarter of a mile and less in spots like novato where it's at zero right now, so be careful on your way to work. that north bay 101 commute will be foggy for the next hour or so and then it quickly clears out and we will have sunshine in the forecast for the rest of the day and it will be fantastic for outdoor activities. we'll talk more about that coming up in a few minutes. >> we'll check back with you. it's 6:01. developing overnight, two children abducted in contra costa county in two separate incidents. bob redell is live from the concord police department this morning. so interesting. two separate cases, not related? >> reporter: good morning,

laura. two incidents, one child abducted in pittsburg yesterday, and the other in concord. restaurant on clayton road.p the was recovered not too far away from where he was abducted. the family went into the wing stop restaurant and left their child in the van and that's when somebody stole the van, and then the police found the van 20 minutes later with the child inside and nobody has been arrested. in pittsburg, a child's father was adjusting a car seat and talking with a friend, and then a woman jumped in the driver's seat and sped off.

somebody spotted the stolen suv a couple hours later about a mile away after police issued an amber alert. >> they were blocking the drive weigh and it was just sitting here, and they say it was heard because they heard a baby scream, screaming and crying, and the baby was in there and the door was open so they got the baby out. >> family members and police officers took the toddler to the police department for a medical check. once the girl checked out, the family took her home. several members of the family and friends rushed to the hospital to make sure everybody was okay. police think the woman abandoned the suv once she realized the baby was in the back. they are using surveillance from where the child was taken and they are using that to try and identify this woman. reporting live outside the concord police department for "today in the bay." >> so happy those kids were able

to be reunited with their families. thank you, bob, for that. a gunman that killed a toddler is still at large. there will be an award to anybody that can help track that person. kris, i know this is something a lot of people have been talking about and they want to really help out here. >> yeah, we expect to hear about a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person that killed jasper wu. jasper, as you know was asleep in his car seat as his mother drove along i-880 in broad daylight when that little boy was struck by a bullet, he was an innocent victim of somebody shooting out of a moving car. the chamber of commerce will put up the $10,000 reward and will ask anybody in that area on that day to give police any dashcam or cell phone video or photos that they could have taken, and

they are talking about saturday november 6th at around 2:00 in the afternoon. in oakland, this year 119 people have died by homicide, more than last year. and then a woman was hit by a bullet buying tickets, and then a 68-year-old man was shot, and then a woman was shot at lake merritt. oakland says it's time for the police to do something differently. >> the criminals know we don't have enough police officers to police the city and it's like they know whatever they want and won't get caught. >> i am communicating with caltrans to see what we can do here in oakland with the installation of cameras on certain areas of highways. >> some of that crime prevention may be focused on getting firearms out of the hands of criminals. listen to this.

not even counting the homicides, gun related-assaults in oakland are up 30% this year. >> big numbers there. thank you very much. it's 6:05. taking a live look at the golden gate bridge where a crash during a protest led to hours of backups. an suv veered into a street sweeper truck that strikes that fence alongside a mass of protesters. the chp says two chp officers and three golden gate bridge employees were between the truck and wall and were taken for treatment. >> we got good help from the demonstrators. there was a little conflict at first, and a couple started to come across the walls and we were not sure what the intentions were. >> authorities closed the bridge to pedestrians. here at nbc bay area, we're

continuing the conversation about race. marcus is hosting our special "race in america: the conversation." >> we explored the issue last night of how you look may affect the search for you if you go missing. that difference can really inspire this term, it's called missing white woman syndrome. i spoke with harrison, his brother was last seen by their family in 2019. harrison told me weeks passed before news outlets looked into his brother's disappearance, but when gabby petito went missing, the search was immediate. >> i knew that's how it was supposed to be. we are at the toteam pole of all

that. >> many people of color say a slow response is a brutal reality in society for certain groups, but we wanted to find out if that was true so one stanford expert backed up those claims with research. >> there's gender research that found that white women specifically are seen as more fragile, and they are put on a pedestal. we can think of the damsel in distress narrative. the research on missing white women syndrome found that they receive quicker attention as well as prolonged attention. >> a lot of people, it was an awakening to realize, wow, i never thought about it. but when you think about the coverage you have seen, and the people you put that attention on, there it is, proof is in the pudding sometimes. if you could not watch last night, we have you covered.

>> yeah, in walnut creek, visibility is low in parts of the east bay. let's get a bigger look at the picture here. you can see the headlights and some people are traveling to work and maybe having to take it slower, and you compare that to san josé where we are waking up to temperatures in the low 50s. as we go into today, sunny and slightly warmer compared to other spots. reaching into the low 70s this afternoon, livermore reaching 73 degrees. in san francisco, we will see a high of 68. oakland, 69. concord, up to 73 there as well as santa rosa reaching 73 degrees. a very comfortable day. we'll continue to see more of this going into the weekend. we'll talk about when we will see changes in a few minutes. mike, you are seeing two factors slowing the commute? >> yeah, the volume of the commute is slowing the commute

his death the result of a traffic crash that took place in front of the elementary school that he worked at for years. this is memorial that is honoring that aide continuing to grow. >> reporter: good morning, marcus. you can really feel the love. some of these cards and notes were written by some of the students saying thank you, and there's a photo with cancels and flowers at the memorial at the corner of franklin and union. he was a paraeducator that worked here at the elementary school. according to investigators, police responded to a crash involving two cars here at sherman elementary at franklin and union, and when they arrived they were notified as a person down, and that person was later identified as a paraeducator at

the school. in a letter released by the school, he was a long-time staff member and attended the school as a child where he now works. parents and students learned of the death and many came to the school for a moment of silence as well as to pay their respect. >> when we told him yesterday what happened, he told us that he was the kindest teacher. >> reporter: as students returned back to school today, the school did notify us that there would be counsellors on duty to help the staff as well as the students work through any grief they have from this situation. as you can see, really it appears this individual was loved by, both, the students -- there are notes there from the parents of those students as well. we also learned the principal will address the students and staff later on today. we're live in front of sherman

telling you about the cdc guidelines, but you can throw those out, because here in california, anybody who wants one can get one, everybody over the age of 18, and two months after last pfizer or moderna vaccine, and two months after the johnson & johnson shot. demand for boosters in california was not robust right away. here in the bay area, though, santa clara county has already been offering boosters to all eligible adults and those appointments were filling up fast and the county started to add more so people could feel protected over the holidays. >> yeah, there was a lot of appointments available and i was able to get it. >> very easy. went online and looked it up. >> it's good to know people are

accepting the vaccine. >> i tried to book an appointment yesterday. i did find one at the fair grounds. i also found one through my local safeway pharmacy, and i found a vaccine available at my health care group. if you don't find one right away, don't get discouraged and maybe just try someplace different, and give a couple weeks for that vaccine to build up before you gather for the holiday. about 2,500 pharmacy workers are threatening to hold a week-long strike. patients are being told to pick up medications ahead of time. in a statement kaiser says it has an offer on the table that keeps its pharmacists among the highest paid in the profession and it is continuing to provide

highway 92. we're also tracking a crash -- sorry, disabled vehicle on the bay bridge causing delays from the east bay. thanks, mike. we have new details on the massive shipping backlog in southern california. the ports of los angeles and long beach are now requiring waiting ships to anchor further away from the coastline. right now dozens of ships are in a large group 40 miles off the coast. the new system will require ships arriving early to anchor 150 miles away in an effort to reduce congestion and coastal pollution. president biden will meet with his cabinet this morning to brainstorm ways to free up the jams. >> the white house hopes that new infrastructure bill will help speed up the supply chain. >> yeah, that's what they are saying, but the infrastructure bill is not law yet. for something the democrats have been waiting around for a long time, but there's no rush to sign it. the president said he will do that on monday presumably so he

can be joined by members of congress on break right now. biden will meet with his cabinet to see how they can implement some of the solutions as quickly as possible. and then president biden is electric cars.ax break for he has been enjoying all of the electric cars that manufacturers are bringing to the white house. not only can you get a tax break of $7,500, but you get an extra tax break of $4,500 if you get a car built by union labor. joe manchin says he will not vote for the bill if that's in it. press secretary, jen psaki, back after testing positive for

covid. an appeals court delayed the white house records being sent to the capitol city. mark meadows is supposed to give a deposition to the bipartisan committee investigating the attacks. if he does not show up the committee may recommend the household meadows in criminal contempt. we'll be watching the capitol steps to see if he shows up. you can follow me on twitter, i'm @scottmcgrew. a actress is in a coma this morning after she suffered a stroke on wednesday night. she's being treated in mexico city. her relatives are asking fans for prayers.

weekend, but before we get to the weekend, we have to face friday, and meteorologist, kari hall, is tracking that and a lot of fog. where is that? >> yeah, we're trying to see through the fog to get to the weekend and that sunshine we are expecting. as we look outside in walnut creek right now, visibility is low. you do need to allow extra time to get to work, slow it down and use your normal beams. don't throw on the high beams. we will start out about in the low 60s and 70s. palo alto, at 10:00 you could make plans to head out to the park and enjoy a beautiful sunny day and heading for the low 70s here. in the south bay, looking at a high of about 74 in morgan hill, and 75 in gilroy. east san josé reaching 74 degrees. our east bay temperatures reaching 73 in walnut creek. oakland up to about 69 degrees. we'll see mid-60s in daly city. for san francisco, mid to upper

60s today. marina district, still cool at 62. 69 in mill valley, while clearlake will reach up to 75. it's all clear here in terms of rain, but take a look at where it has been just pouring. this atmospheric river causing flooding concerns and that's where it will stay for a little while longer. you can see the connection, the long line of clouds that makes it all the way to the hawaiian islands. it's the reason they call it the "pineapple express." it just is up and down the coast. usually a storm track to the north may be the case for us throughout the winter, but it looked like even though the atmospheric river dipped to the south a little bit the rain dries up before it gets here. we will have a cooler next weekend, but this weekend it's going to be very warm. take a look at gilroy, for the weekend 70s and even 81 degrees on sunday.

will feel like summer in some spots. then we will cool down next week, and i'm keeping the hope alive for the next rain chance on thursday and friday, and then we will have early morning clouds and fog. mike, you are continuing to see the delays on the bay bridge? >> yeah, i have been watching closely on the sensors. it's slow as the fog starts to clear from the bridge itself. this is why you don't use the high beams because that light makes things tougher to see sometimes. that was a bright shot. meanwhile, a slow drive on the bart, no delays. highway 37, not so bad. highway 4, just your typical slowing. there could be a crash coming through the san mateo hills that will affect the drive to or from the bay. happening now, the oldest

muni line up in the air. "the chronicle" reports muni directors are wondering what to do with the j-church line. ridership for that line has been slower. the line is no longer running underground. it's likely j-line service will be shortened permanently with fewer runs or keeping an aprevious kwraeuted route. two children abducted in separate instances in contra costa county. both have been returned to their families. you're watching "today in the bay."

welcome bang. before youdoor, two children abducted in contra costa. >> bob redell talking about these strange incidents that were not connected. >> there's no indication of police they were connected. there were two abductions, one in pittsburg and one in concord. they took place yesterday.

this is new video from the concord abduction, a 4-month-old reunited with her parents last night. earlier in the evening, around 10:00 last night. the family went to a stop to get food and left their child in the van, and the van was stolen with the child inside it. the other child was taken yesterday in pittsburg. the child's father was at the back of the suv adjusting her car seat when a woman walked up and asked for cigarette and walked off and then hopped in the suv and sped off. somebody spotted the stolen suv a mile away after the amber alert. both incidents, the abductors are still out there. >> gosh, i hope they get answers. thanks. a new $10,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of jasper

wu's killer. the toddler struck by a stray bullet as his mother drove along interstate 880 in oakland six days ago. his family are asking anybody in the area on that day to give police any dashcam or cell phone video around the time of 2:15 last saturday. >> yeah, i hope they can find who did that. and then grief counsellors will be on hand after the death of a teacher's assistant just steps from the campus. here's a live look from the growing memorial outside sherman elementary for andrew siemann. students were not in class for veteran's day. he not only worked at the school but once attended as a child. the cause is still under investigation. two chp officers and three golden gate bridge workers are recovering after a chain reaction crash during a protest last night. this is a look from above when
