parts of the north bay, but we see it elsewhere around the bay, that chance of showers for the next few hours. our temperatures will stay cool reaching in the upper 50s and low 60s for today. we will talk more about that coming up in a few minutes. only on nbc bay area, a mother sharing her thoughts after her daughter died in a senseless shooting near the bay bridge with her children in the car. >> do we know about what led up to this shooting? >> that mother said her daughter was heading to a job interview in san francisco before that deadly shooting. somebody fired at the suv as it was heading at the bay bridge toll plaza, and her sons, fianée were in the car with her at the time and they were not hurt. her mother, alicia butler, who

lives in georgia is remembering her daughter as a dedicated mother. she was face timing her 20 myself and the grandkids were on the phone, and she said i will call you later. then i started getting phone calls and i didn't want to believe it was true. that was her world, she did everything for them. she was a good mom. >> chp is investigating and are not releasing any information on a suspect or suspect vehicle. news of the deadly shooting comes as family and friends are scheduled to say good-bye to jasper wu who was killed when a stray bullet killed him on i-80

three weeks ago. according to chp, there have been at least 77 highway shootings, including the shooting -- the one along i-80 yesterday in alameda county in this past highway were shutdown yesterday as chp investigated that shooting, and it's now back open for the morning commute. >> it's senseless. >> yeah, kids were in the car and had to see that. that's a lot of trauma there. a lot of loss. thank you, cierra. two violent new attacks in san francisco are leaving the asian-american community there on edge. first one happened in laurel heights on tuesday. that's when an 84-year-old man was struck with a bottle after he used an atm. he did not want his name used but he now tells the nbc bay area that he suffered a nasal

fracture that may need surgery. >> they were trying to strike me with the bottle. i say, i give all to you. >> we got to do something about all this crime. we're ready to move. i think half of the people in san francisco are ready to move. >> that's sad. that attack happened on wednesday night when somebody pushed an 81-year-old man at a bus stop. he struck his head on the pavement and was taken to the hospital. others held the suspect down until police arrived. the suspect in that case is under arrest. 5:05. a live look inside capitol hill, and new overnight, a vote delayed temporarily. this is on president biden's build back better bill. lawmakers were looking to pass

fund so many during the holidays. today in the bay's bob redell live inside a safeway. people can start giving today, bob? >> reporter: correct. this is really simple. you remember in the old days you would go and buy a bag of groceries and you would check it out and it would be donated to your local food bank, and we are doing this, especially during covid and we're doing it again, and you scan this card and you donate $10 and $10 is enough to buy 20 meals. it's very efficient. we have reggie young, the director of the food bank here. what is the need now that we are this far into the pandemic. has it gotten better or worse? >> it's about the same, still pretty bad within our county. we are seeing 1 in 4 people in this county struggling with food

insecurity. >> who are these people? >> hunger has no face. these are your neighbors, seniors, adults, children. the need is very varied as to who it is impacting? >> yeah, we are not out of the storm. this is still going to be a very big issue going not only throughout the holidays but into the new year. we are working with our community partners to make sure everybody is getting a meal. >> not only are our cost going up, and we're seeing up to 17% increases in a lot of the core items, and it's taking a lot of time to get items to the food bank.

>> $10 for 20 meals. how are you getting that deal? >> we have great partners like safeway to work with. all of the meals go to a good purpose. we are lucky to have partners like safeway. >> happy thanksgiving and merry christmas. you peel this thing off, and it takes hardly any muscle to take it off, and you scan it and pay ten bucks. >> it's so easy. like bob said, doesn't take too much muscle. >> reporter: even i can do it. >> there you go. you can do it more than once. >> yeah, you can do 10, 20 -- >> higher, higher! >> thanks, bob. laura and i, this saturday

right now. how is it looking for us this morning? >> not a lot, as we just said. i was talking yesterday about how la nina brings about 93% the normal of rain, and that's just a little below normal, and that's what the weak showers are bringing through. we need storm ranger because the rain is so light it's hard to detect here as we are seeing it falling across marin, and we could see the spotty light rain elsewhere across the bay area. this moisture rolls on through. it will bring in light rain elsewhere across the region from the central valley to parts of the sierra, and some snow for those very high elevations. we will talk more about this moving out and what is ahead for the weekend, coming up. mike, you have been watching the north bay. it is improving there? >> highway 37, the rainun car h

you find a find, you catch a catch. the company tells "the wall street journal" it has seen a huge uptick in users during the pandemic. and then microsoft xbox is casting doubts about it's partnership with activision. the california department of fair employment and housing filed a lawsuit in july over those issues. meantime, san francisco-based william sonoma warning customers its shelves could be bare this

returns. two lucky birds cannot be more grateful this morning. these are the two turkeys being bidened by president biden. their names are peanut butter and jelly. these two turkeys were raised on a farm in indiana, and following their pardon they will live out the rest of their lives at purdue university's research farm. >> those are interesting-looking birds. >> sometimes when i see things like that, i want to pet them. i don't know why. i wouldn't, but i want to. >> i never thought of a turkey as cuddly, but interesting. >> speaking of turkey, if chewing is too much this thanksgiving, why not just drink it. >> jones sodas, turkey and gravy

soda is back. it's one of their most requested favors. 35,000 limited edition bottles and they are sold-out. >> i like to eat my turkey and dressing. >> i think the whole team can agree on this one. >> kari? >> i'm so glad it's sold out. no pressure. let's see what's going on as we're waking up this morning and seeing spotty light showers falling. as you are heading out in parts of the north bay, you're dealing with this light rain on your commute. of course, falling in mill valley right now, one of the typical spots where we see a lot more of the rainfall as well as novato, and we have seen it traveling up 101 just south of santa rosa.

we can see the rain on the radar right now. most of the rest of the bay area not getting in on the action, but we are seeing this weak storm system just passing by and bringing in light rain for our friday morning. so as we look at the models, they just pretty much show more of the same as we go into the 7:00 to 8:00 hour, but by 10:00 or 11:00, it's starting to clear out. we could see more sunshine at that time go into the rest of the day with drier weather, but it's going to stay cool as a result of all the clouds. we are only looking at highs in the upper 50s and low 60s today. 57 in san rafael, and half moon bay. going into our long range forecast, we do have sunny skies for the weekend and a little warmer, but we will see one more system passing by. it may bring additional snow showers to the sierra, and that could be a little bit of a boost ahead of the thanksgiving

holiday. as far as looking at the fall foliage, we are past peak as we are outside of the bay area, so get out there this weekend with the sunshine and beautiful colors on the trees, and take family pictures. that's also a great thing to do with the nice weather that we have coming this way. looking ahead to the next several days, once again, very dry, but we do have that chance of rain on tuesday before thanksgiving travel. mike, you have been updating what has been going on in the north bay. what is going on now? >> despite the light rain, there's no problem except for in the north bay as kari talked about. in novato, 101 basically down to one lane because of the crash involving the overturned truck or crushed car hauler, and a dozen cars all over the road and they have the right the hauler. coming up next on "today in the bay," "nbc bay area

responds." >> one viewer could not get a closing company to send her the right size. another says a lab error costs him 800 bucks. i am consumer investigator, chris chmura. "nbc bay area responds" to both cases, next.

susan in san josé needed our help with a $28 order for leggings. the company delivered the wrong

size. susan sent them back and expected a replacement and it didn't happen. our team got susan the correct size, wrong color, but she was okay with that. a $28 win, nonetheless. kevin in san francisco, he expected the lab to get 800 bucks back. they had to get tested again at a different company. his complaints to the company went nowhere, but we landed him his 800 bucks. we made a how-to video that walks you through the process of hunting down an appointment for the booster to updating your vaccinated. look for the "how-to" play list. a palo alto animal shelter,

pets in need, the executive director has decided to resign. this is according to palo alto online. seven puppies died there, and the shelter claimed the city breached its contract. ahead on "today in the bay," will it be two or three? the definition of fully vaccinated may soon be changing with the booster now available to everyone? >> we will talk about it all, coming up.

the progress. they have to clean up the cars and move that rig. fortunately, that's the onlyinc. kari, we w it rain? >> i like to call it nuisance rain, mike, because it's just so light. it's really not helping anything out. it's just causing more problems as we are seeing some of the light showers in parts of the north bay. we have seen it around marin county, moving over towards contra costa county. as you are heading out, windshield wipers could be needed in some spots but not everywhere as the weak system passes by. when this moves out we could get some sunshine. we'll talk about in that a few minutes. >> thanks, kari. happening today, bay area kaiser facilities bracing for what could be the wider strike so far this week.

more workers are organizing actions to show solidarity with striking engineers. >> kris sanchez is live. >> reporter: yeah, so there's no question this is going to have an impact on patient care. we just got notice that another unionized group of nurses will join the picket lines along with the mental health clinicians that said they would be on the picket lines today with the engineers as well. throughout the 63-day strike, nurses have supported them, and support staff have come out, and they are calling for a fair contract. kaiser management claims their engineers earn an average of $180,000 and benefits a year,

patients are in the middle. >> we are ready to go back to work. we are hard workers. we don't want this. we want what is fair. that's all. >> we have contingency plans in place. >> if you are a kaiser patient, the ers and hospitals will remain open no matter how long the strike goes on, but care will be managed by managers and contingency staff, and nonurgent appointments will be postponed. that is set to get under way at 6:00 this morning, not just here in san josé, but in santa rosa, sacramento, and other smaller operations around the bay.

5:34. breaking now, moderna just announced the fda granted emergency use authorization for its covid booster shot forever one over 18. regulators are also debating authorization for pfizer and there are reports that that will happen, too, this as the cdc advisory panel picks up the discussion today, and the term fully vaccinated may soon evolve to cover that third shot. one bay area infectious disease expert said it could be tricky to manage that. >> you have two doses there, and then one eight months later, and are you eligible? it's very difficult to enforce. >> of course california is one of a handful of states expanding booster shots to cover everyone over 18. if you have questions, our consumer team broke it down. you can find the full video

there on nbcbayarea.com right there on the trending bar. an east bay family tearfully pleading for the return of their car. this is near kennedy high school in richmond. the dog's name fluffy, he got out of the yard and came back. a woman follows him in. that dog eventually goes back into the kennel, and then the woman takes him. making matters worse, the family says fluffy, 18 years old and needs medical attention. >> he's only had one family. we kind of want him back. i'm sorry. he was just a cool family dog and we want him back. >> the family doesn't know who that woman is. they filed a police report and have checked in with multiple animal shelters and hospitals, but so far no sign of fluffy. >> i hope they get that dog back. >> okay.

we have other details about a incident happened with a woman and a dog with a leash. the preliminary report says the agency is looking at bart's safety procedures and the public's awareness of the rules. a full report may still be more than a year away. happening today, the official thanksgiving day travel begins. you have plenty of time to make it to that thanksgiving dinner. the spike may be in part to air fares. they are averaging 30% below last year. as usual, next tuesday and wednesday will be the heaviest and most expensive air travel days. taking a live at the new

palisades tahoe. they are delaying their opening. live pictures from their resort cameras. they are supposed to open next wednesday but it's still too warm, and the hope is to open in early december. also delaying their openings, heavenly and northstar. we need a good snow. >> yeah, we do, but it doesn't stop the fun. you can still go up there, and it doesn't have to snow like you want. >> yeah, it's more like hiking in the sierra right now with little patches of snow on the side of the trail. we have very little snow in the forecast. next weekend we are looking at 2 to 5 inches of snow, and that's not what we need right now. we need a lot more. maybe you are thinking of heading to the beach this weekend.

we start out today with temperatures in the low 60s. it will get warmer as we go into saturday and sunday. if you are staying there all weekend long, you will see nicer weather after today, even low 70s for santa cruz and for muir woods, we are looking at cloudy skies, and the weekend hikes will be perfect. we are going to see the sunshine continue with highs in the low 60s. for warmer weather, head to paso robles where we will see temperatures in the 70s throughout the weekend, and mid-70s for sunday and 76 by the end of the weekend. yosmite will be nice for a weekend hike there. we are looking at highs of about 60 degrees on saturday, and 65 for a high on sunday. we'll talk about the little bit of rain we're getting right now coming up in a few minutes. mike, what is the breaking news in the north bay? >> if you didn't hear about it, it's breaking news, but if you did, it's continuing news on

southbound 101, the crash involving the car hauler. southbound, we're seeing the build out of the northbound. it expands back past atherton avenue that is right there. if you are traveling down to the golden gate bridge or even north, you are down to one lane in the area past the scene because crushed cars are scattered across the roadway. chp has been mum on how long it will take to clear that up. but no accidents south of there. back to you. >> thank you. the new action in one country as covid cases surge across the globe. build back better, and we

reaching the moon. and one man captured the progress from his home. the clouds not making it easy there. this eclipse, the longest in centuries, lasting 3 1/2 hours. scott budman, he posts those. >> kari likes the sunrise, and scott like the moon. >> well, i say we're all morning people. >> yeah. >> well, at least i am. >> i was just really annoyed that we could not see the lunar eclipse because of the light rain moving through, it's not helping the drought but making the car look extra muddy this morning. we will continue to see that through parts of the north bay. we will see the off and on rain

for parts of the east bay, and for the rest of the day it gradually starts to move out. you can see the overall picture of what is happening here with the light rain moving across the region. we will see some of the rain start to taper off for the rest of the day and it's moving over towards the sierra with light rain. you can make plans to head out to the park today and enjoy time outside. in morgan hill, our temperatures reach in the mid-60s today. it will be a cool morning with low 50s to start. looking at the south bay high temperatures, expected to reach up to 63 in san josé, and 65 in gilroy. mainly some low 60s for much of the east bay with oakland staying in the upper 50s today. for the coastline, we are also in the upper 50s this afternoon. 59 in san mateo. half moon bay, 57. 57 also in engel side. once again, it's a cool start to

southbound, that's the folks commuting out of the north, and that's jamming up now before you get to atherton, that's the cut over here. it could give you an opportunity to take redwood boulevard southbound to just the shoulder. a dozen cars were crushed cars on the back of a big rig that had to be cleared from southbound 101. the toll plaza has the metering lights turned on but no backup there or the rest of the bay. back to you. >> thanks, mike. happening now, it could soon be easier to charge a car at a bart station, and they are installing electric ports. four parks in the system have ports. no word on when or where the new ports will be installed. the growing signs leaving
