hitting the roads and skies as thanksgiving nears. this is "today in the bay." a very good friday morning to you. thank you so much for joining us. i am laura garcia. >> i am marcus washington. we will get to kari in the forecast, but first let's start with mike and breaking news. >> look at the video that we have. this is an overturned rig and all of this damage and debris, and there were no serious injuries as a result of the crash on highway 101 where both directions are down to one lane in novato. folks are being forced off of the freeway or on to the shoulder. northbound has stars strewn across the freeway, and that is

blocking the lanes. the cars involved were the ones on the back of the trailer. kari, we have only one lane open in each direction there, and we have traffic control in the area as well for highway 37. i'll talk about that coming up. over to you. >> you have a lot going on there. we have a little going on here as we look at storm ranger. with spotty showers just moving by, that's about it, we are going to see a slight chance of rain throughout the morning and the afternoon as we weak weather system comes in. we will see the light rain tapering off as we go through the afternoon. we'll have more of that coming

up in a few minutes. >> sounds good. we begin with the heartbreaking story. a mother talking after her daughter was killed while sitting in the passenger side of a moving vehicle, and she died right in front of her two own young boys. >> this is the 77th freeway shooting this year. >> she was beautiful, creative, energetic. >> alicia butler spoke to us by phone in her home in georgia, and she said she face timed her daughter 20 minutes before she was shot and killed. >> my husband, myself, and our grandkids were on the phone and she said i will call you later, and then i started getting phone calls and i didn't want to

believe it was true. >> she and her two boys were in the burgundy suv around 9:00 a.m., heading to san francisco for a second job interview. the 29-year-old was in the passenger seat when somebody fired at the car as it was heading towards the bay bridge toll plaza. alicia is trying to wrap her head that her fiancé and two boys watched it happen. >> that was her world. she did everything for them. >> her son heard the shots. >> he didn't know she was hit. the little boy said, what happened to mommy? my son looked and he noticed she was gone. blood was everywhere. >> the shooting was random and as reminiscent of the death of

jasper wu who was killed on 880 earlier this month. >> we have to stop killing each other. why are we burying the people that are supposed to be our future. >> cheryl hurd on today in the bay. police say a girl was taken by her boyfriend and friend as a joke outside a gas station on santa rosa. we have surveillance video from that gas station. witnesses say they saw the teenager standing on the corner when a man grabbed her and forced her into a dark vehicle. once in the car, she realized she was with her friends and not in danger. then they headed to l.a. for a

road trip. >> it was just a practical joke. >> it's unclear if any charges will be filed related to this incident. are you fully vaccinated? the answer to that question may be changing again. the booster, some experts say the definition of fully vaccinated will mean three shots. >> everyone 18 and older is now eligible for a booster in california. federal health officials are expected to approve boosters for adults across the country this week. ucsf professor says three boosters are needed. some medical experts say the

definition of fully vaccinated will mean three shots. in israel, you will need a third shot to be eligible for a green pass. sometime next year americans will be needing a booster to be considered fully vaccinated. >> i suspect in several months it will be required. >> without a national system, it will be difficult to enforce. >> you have two doses there, and then you have to get a third. >> our consumer team, they have broken down the entire thing for you. you can find the full break down

make the car look dirty especially this afternoon. temperatures are in the mid-50s, and we will see that it's cool throughout much of the morning and into the afternoon. our temperatures will head for the upper 50s and low 60s for a high. we will have a warmer weekend with sunshine. we'll talk more about that in a few minutes. mike, what is the 101 update? >> both directions reportedly have one lane or the shoulder open to get past the scene of the crash. in the last couple of seconds i saw the sensors lighten up in both directions. 101 between 37 and it's in the north bay. traffic is flowing in both of

the areas and around the rest of the bay is light right now. back to you. >> 4:39. coming up next on "today in the bay," the trial of kyle rittenhouse this morning, the evidence the jurors want to take a second look at. >> tiktok taking over, and it's not the number one app just yet. the digital powerhouse that is still beating the fast growing app. >> is that a cat with a wig? >> probably. light traffic on the bay bridge, and mike has his eyes on a trouble spot he mentioned on 101. that and all your bay area roadways, when we return.

i am silvanna from cnbc. the dow ending the day in the red. the dow is on pace for its second negative week in a row, and the markets have been powered by better than expected earnings, and results have been reported at 80% beating the average. last-year instagram led the age group versus tiktok. tiktok is not the top social

app, but youtube. nike launched nike land. users could dress their avatars. several games such as tag and lava. nike will continue to update the virtual world to include events, products -- >> my kids love roadblock. >> really? >> yeah. it's fascinating what they can do on you. >> the things you learn even when you don't have kids. >> what, i am hipper than youtube? >> yep. >> far from it. saying good-bye to filling in the bubble. we will talk about the move uc

schools are taking that could help kids get into schools easier. >> the country shutting down once again because of increasing cases of covid. seems like every day this week we have had to deal with fog throughout the morning and this morning is no different. we are down to a mile and three quarter visibility in santa rosa, but we will talk about where we are seeing rain and what is ahead for the weekend, coming up. traffic flowing west will continue throughout the morning. we are worried about the build through novato, where it was still down to one lane because of cars spilled across the roadway.

your doctor gives you a prescription. let's get you on some antibiotics right away. you could have it brought right to your door, with 1-to-2 day delivery from your local cvs. or same day if you need it sooner. but at a time like this, aren't you glad you can also just swing by to pick it up? and get your questions answered.

because peace of mind is something you just can't get in a cardboard box. that's healthier made easier. at cvs. a very good friday morning to you. taking a live look outside, this time in downtown san josé there from a distance. it's friday, we made it through and the weekend is right there. >> yeah, and a little sprinkle of rain to enter into the weekend, but not too bad for us, kari. >> not too bad. i was hoping we could get a little break from the clouds to see the partial lunar eclipse overnight, but that has not happened. we have seen light spotty rain in parts of the north bay, and that's what you can look at as you head out the door, just the nuisance rain, as i like to call

it. spotty showers over towards richmond, and it's a hit or miss as you head over to contra costa county. there will be a light dusting of snow over parts of the sierra. this is a warmer system coming in, even though we won't see much of a change in our temperatures for today. we're looking at a cloudy start, and in some spots dealing with patchy dense fog. in walnut creek, we are seeing the clouds that are hanging with us and will stay with us throughout the morning. looking at our hour-by-hour forecast, once again, doesn't show a whole lot going on here. another dud of a weather system because we know we need a lot more rain. we will be better if we got the weather systems coming in that could bring us a quarter inch of

rain. this will quickly move out and we have clear skies in the forecast. temperature wise, low to mid-60s. in some spots, mid-50s. downtown san francisco and our northbound temperatures will only reach into the upper 50s. as we are heading out for the weekend, once again, clearing out and looks really nice. we will see if we could get another chance of rain in here. that's ahead of thanksgiving, which is pretty dry. only a slight chance on tuesday, and next week it looks good for your holiday travels. mike, what is the update on the breaking news? >> the breaking news is the big deal in the north bay. the smaller crashes are on the shoulder in the east bay. just a couple of them. the nuisance rain did hit the

north bay and that's where this crash is, and the driver driving southbound on the 101 with the car hauler fell asleep and hit the center divide and that scattered the cars on the roadways. over a dozen cars need to be cleared. here's a popular cut through if you are traveling between 37 and 101. back to you. this morning in wisconsin, jurors are starting their fourth day of deliberations in the kyle rittenhouse homicide trial after killing two and injuring one. the state's national guard have been put on standby ahead of the

verdict. we have not heard of this in a while. a european country going on lockdown because of covid. austrian leaders earlier this week ordered a lock down for all unvaccinated people. in a decision today, they expanded it to everyone. it will last a maximum of 20 days. standardized testing for undergrad applicants, uc regents shut the door on using any kind of alternative to the sat in the future. last year schools threw out test scores. schools are now relying mostly on grade point averages. housing options for a lot of people in san francisco, one step closer, especially to those trying to make it in the bay. supervisor raffaele man dullman

had his plan approved. that proposal now moves to the board of supervisors. coming up next on "today in the bay," a lesson on manners ahead of the holidays. we'll show you how kids are getting ready for thanksgiving dinner. >> oh, so cute. first, happening now, it could be easier to charge your car at a bart station. they are expecting more electric vehicles on the road in the feature, and no word on when or where new ports will be installed.
