robots. why some believe certain procedures were violated and how it may impact today's final decision. starting over from scratch, a moon moving from oregon loses everything when thieves steal his u-haul truck. and the help he's gotten to help restore some of his life and possessions he fears may be lost forever. and also easing cannabis restrictions, new ordinance up for debate that may widen access in parts of the east bay. this is "today in the bay." good morning to you on this tuesday. i'm marcus washington. >> and i'm laura garcia. let's get a look at that forecast. and kari hall is tracking that. >> and starting out wet, but it will gladly start to dry out for some as we get a look at the radar and satellite showing that we are seeing the bulk of the

rain through the north bay especially for that commute on 101. heavy rain just moved through san rafael and just north of the richmond/san rafael bridge. some of the showers moving through there as well as the east bay and concord as well as the danville, that is moving off toward the east and we also have some rain approaching redwood city and san mateo. and for the south bay, we're also seeing some of the heavier rain moving through there as well returning for morgan hill, gilroy. and all of it will continue today as the storm system sits right overhead. at times it may be sunny, and at times it may be pouring so be prepared for it all. so a wet commute. >> and this is the richmond side where it is already wet and

those are some of the conditions that you will see for a lot of folks. the radar showing the activity coming just north and heading over toward richmond. green on here highlights the wet roadways which continue for highway 4 coming off that bridge. walnut creek and lafayette, here on this\, it sounded like a spinout or at least a car that lost traction and went to the roadway. no injurieses and no lanes blocked right now. and happening today, san francisco supervisors hold final reading on that controversial plan that would allow sfpd to arm with lethal force. and the first vote sparked heated debate and more of that is expected today. ginger, one supervisor already vowing to switch his vote here. >> reporter: that's right. and law enforcement equipment policy was approved i would the board of supervisors by there is

a lot of back and forth including one who said in a tweet yesterday that he will change his yes vote to a no vote today. take a look, it was written yesterday and it says in part despite my own deep concerns with the policy, i voted for it after additional guardrails were added. i will vote no tomorrow. and it is a change that many were calling for yesterday at a rally outside of city hall. supervisors along with others who oppose the measures say even in extreme circumstances robot who may be allowed to use deadly force needs to be looked at with more scrutiny. >> to authorize this legally is to open up a window in which eventually the sfpd will be able to use it in increasingly casual circumstances. >> reporter: but robots are not new, they were acquired in 2010 and 2017 but this is the first time that the sfpd is addressing

use of forward with robots because of a requirement in state law. afpd says it does not own or operate robots out fitted with lethal force options and the department does not plan to put them with any type of firearms. they will consider use of force in extreme circumstances to save or prevent further loss of life. going back to that vote last week, it looks like it will be 7-4, but we'll see how things are turning. >> certainly one a lot of people will follow. ginger conejero saab, thank you. also happening today in san francisco courtroom, a pretrial hearing for a man accused in a deadly attack that sparked anger. and watson already pleaded not guilty to murder charges in the death of a man known as grandpa. he died from injuries he

suffered from being pushed to the ground. they will be reviewing the case for possible hate crime enhancement, but that is yet to be announced. for a man on a life changing trip, a quick stop has become a nightmare. he is moving from san diego to the pacific northwest which started with packing everything he owned into a u-haul. you see it there. last friday night he made the stop in north oakland and he woke up next morning and everything was stolen. the truck and vintage van all on the trailer tow. >> anything from my.pants to my trash can to my computer to my bed frame. just visualize any room in your house and whatever is in it is gone. >> and he received tips on where to find his van which was park near a homeless camp on wood

street. police were call there had yesterday and officers arrested a squatter sleeping inside that vehicle. while he is grateful for the help, he still wishes that he could locate the u-haul that carried all of his possessions including a handmade bicycle worth more than $15,000. a critical election in georgia where voters will decide runoff election between raphael warnock and his challenger herschel walker. and brie jackson is in washington. this could make a big difference in the direction of the new senate. >> reporter: absolutely. and yeah, here we go again. all eyes back on georgia. and in their final pitches to voters, herschel walker painted raphael warnock as a rubber stamp voting with president biden 96% of the time. while raphael warnock says that herschel walker is unfit to serve. voters returned to the polls

today for georgia's u.s. senate runoff election between democrat raphael warnock and his republican challenger herschel walker. >> you got to get out and vote because if you don't vote, you'reschumer and president biden. >> and we know that he is unprepared and unqualified. he is unfit to represent the people in georgia in the united states senate. >> reporter: record number of early voters have given the incumbent an edge. walker a newcomer to politics is banking on turnout to take the lead. this race has remained close despite multiple allegations against the former nfl football star claiming that he paid two former girlfriends to have abortions. accusations walker denies. >> the fact that he came t-that he came to within a point tells you there are other things in play other than intelligence or

character. >> reporter: it is a numbers game. democrats control the senate with 50 seats. a republican win in georgia makes it an even split giving the gop a better chance to block president biden's judicial pick and stop legislation. >> we have to change the direction of the country. >> reporter: warnock win expands the democrat majority to 51-49, critical leverage to pushing president biden's agenda forward. >> it really is critical because all the things that raphael warnock has supported are things that the people of georgia care a fwral about. >> reporter: today georgia voters will decide which candidate are l. represent them in washington. >> thanks, brie. and this morning south bay health leaders will talk more about what they warn is the

latest covid surge. want to give you a look at that data. supporting their concerns. it is a graph showing the spike in covid levels over the past 2 1/2 years in santa clara county. waste water samples is higher than last winter. omicron surge of course is spiking. today's briefing will start at 11:00 a.m. about. happening today, cannabis deliveries. supervisors will weigh an ordinance allowing the delivery of nonflavored cannabis vaping products, it would apply to all unincorporated areas. supporters argue not everyone who allows to cannabis vaping can travel to receive them especially seniors. taking a live look this morning at the golden gate bridge, still some wet roads out there. but let's talk about the forecast for us today. how long will the rain stick around and where is it now? kari hall is monitoring that for us. >> and the rain is mostly in the

north bay but also seeing wet roads around the bay area after early morning showers move through. and we're still seeing much of the rain there as well as moving through the south county. but in between, there is a bit of a break right now and it will be kind of off and on for today as we still see the center of this storm spinning right over the bay area and producing the rain that has been very hit or miss. but even as we go into the afternoon, only slight rain chances linger and we'll see some more sunshine for today. and it will start to dry out this evening. but also the cold air will be settling this. so we'll talk more about what to expect as we get those chilly temperatures and the next storm coming in. but mike, may have to stop at the gas station? >> and in morgan hill, $3.99. looking at this one with low gas on monterey street.

valero is at $3.95 that is on the fairgrounds. thank you for reporting in these prices to gas buddy. and let's take you to the roadways. a little more slowing out of the altamont pass. at the worst speeds at 21 miles per hour just after the merge, but then everything smooths out very quickly. green highlight shows where it is still wet in many parts of the commute. back to you. 5:11. if you or your kids are a gamer, get toward pay up more. coming up, we'll tell you the price increase now in the works for users of one of the world's most popular consoles and the games you may have to dig a little bit deeper to afford. plus air tag, does apple have the stalker problem solved?

we're looking at santa rose. the wind is calm, but the rain

still coming down and will continue through about 9:00. we'll go hour by hour coming up. and here is fremont in towards the south way. traffic picking up. we'll show you what to watch out for coming up. and very happy tuesday. the stock market got whacked yesterday. once again it was the good news is bad news phenomena. we got good news about the economy, factory orders are up, growth in the service industry and that freaked out investors who worry all the good news will cause the fed to raise rates three quarters of a point instead of half a point before salesforce is saying good-bye to another important executive. stewart butterfield runs slack

owned by salesforce. he invented slack and also co-invented flicker. he is one of several to leave salesforce in the last week. two women have filed a lawsuit against apple, they say the air tags are a dangerous product because they enable stalkers to track them. and air tags can be attached to keys or luggage or an ex-girlfriend's car if you are creepy and tell you where those things are. and apple has made several improvements to discourage stalking but the suit says air tags are still dangerous. president biden is headed to arizona to celebrate the opening of a chip plant. but a taiwanese company is celebrating their second chip plant. we'll talk more about this in politics.

arizona and jobs, democrats and republicans both voted for the bill. american foreign policy. and finally hertz is spending tens of millions of dollars to settle complaints that it called police hundreds of times to arrest customers from stealing their cars even foe they did not steal their cars. in some cases customers were arrested at gunpoint. chris chmura brought this to light for you. it terms out that hertz was just misplacing their cars. either the person said i'll keep it another day and it doesn't show up and so they call police or they just literally misplace them in the parking lot and assume that they were stolen. and people on family trips were visited by police. >> you'd think that they would just call you and say hey, do you have the call?

look -- >> don't want to get arrested. wow. thank you. and new this morning, microsoft is raising questions for its new xbox. they will charge $69.99 for the new first party and next generation game. it amounts to a $10 hike in most cases. and microsoft says price increases have been relatively unchanged over the past two decades. ahead of christmas, kris sanchez posting what she calls the 12 days of kris-mas. the ideas are often locally based, very thoughtful and budget from independently. >> and today let's say stocking stuffers anyone? >> hey there, it is day three

and we're getting peace of mind. with all the stormy weather, i wondered do i have what i need in my car in order to hang out for a couple hours if i get stranded. so i went to the local hardware store and i bought a small first aid kit, an emergency blanket that will keep you warm especially if you have a couple packs of hand warmers and a flashlight. and you can throw a couple snacks in from the pantry, maybe a bottle of water, zip it up and for less than $15, you are the hero. >> kris also. >> she does a lot. and she is the mother of two beautiful girls herself. so no surprise. we talk about who gives the best gifts? moms. more often than not, they are considered the best gifter in most families. and that is for people really who have taken it more of like a competition. same amount of people more than 60% believe looking for

someone's special gift can be the most stressful part of the holidays. i'm probably in that list. but something tells me if you are on kris sanchez's list, you are a fortunate person and you will get a nice little holiday gift. >> and you should also ride with kris because she's prepared about. >> that is true. and keep the umbrella handy. >> that emergency kit is such a great idea. and it will be cold these next few days. and don't forget the umbrella too. let's talk about how much rain we've already measured. it has been so hit or miss, in spots getting over an inch of rain. that is what he have we've seen in the south county. and other areas, barely measuring anything, only a tenth of an inch of rain in oakland and san francisco.

s if sloppy as you head out, but we have some rain on 101 moving east. and then we'll see the waves of rain coming through for the near term. by 9:00, it will be more spotty, but north bay is still the target. and this evening there is a chance of rain in the south bay, but then the rest of the day may pretty much be sunny for you. tonight we're clear and chilly. and we'll be staying cool and even on thursday, as the next system arrives, it will be just slightly cooler. but take a look at these overnight temperatures.

this is what we'll have tomorrow morning as you are waking up, temperatures in the near freezing in the north bay. and napa and santa rose, 33, but 36 in dublin. and more rain ahead going into friday. especially for the afternoon into the weekend, saturday, sunday, looking wet even into early monday. kind of on repeat. and then we get another storm system moving in late on tuesday. but at least for the rest of the week, we could see another 2 to 3 inches of rain for parts of the north bay where you see the pink shading, and where we have the red, that is indicating another 1 to 2 inches of rain. and for the sierra, several more feet of snow. so it could be difficult getting there, the roads may be icy as we at the time at least another 2 feet of snow falling toward the end of the week. and temperatures not warming up at all. in fact it will only reach into the 50s. morning temperatures in the 30s. and about the same in san

francisco. mike, it seems pretty calm right now. >> the calm during some of the storms i guess. still damp roadways here at the bay bridge, but earlier this morning, there was a bit of puddling and water kicking up. more rain coming in waves. right here just north of that richmond bridge toward san rafael, there is more activity going. east bay side getting a bit more rain at the toll plaza. and the green highlighted around the bay is slicker roadways. a car lost control reportedly crossing the lanes here westbound 24, no injuries and no lanes blocked. the car went off the roadway into the side there. so checking on injuries but nothing reported. there may be a new crash near dumbarton bridge, but watch for the slick conditions. back to you.

welcome back. some experts believe that the u.s. has a maternal mortality problem and some argue that overturning abortion access is only compounding the problem. according to new data, last year nearly 1200 people died as a result of pregnancy or childbirth and 60% were people of color. policy makers argue that that number could go up by 30% with the national abortion ban. >> frankly, more than 80% of pregnancy related deaths are preventable. so it is a matter of making the right investment, providing the right attention to this crisis and starting to implement the solutions that we know will work for mothers across the country. >> she also says legislators should be works to close the health care gap to provide equal

access to prenatal and pregnancy care as well as increasing provider reimbursement and ensuring access to safe abortions. she says because california is already doing many of these things, it has a lower mortality rate than the rest of the nation. next, top stories that we're following this morning including a special street naming now in the works. it is an honor some argue has taken way too long for this hip hop star. >> reporter: managing the afternoon commute. the new metering lights that are about to be turned on along northbound 680. stay with us.

heated late night vote other the balance of power. council members reject special election to fill two open seats. the pushback that it is already getting. and big changes for the bay area commuters. a live report on the impact it will have as soon as tonight's evening commute. and a live look outside where the wet weather is sticking around. kari hall is tracking the hour by hour forecast for us. this is "today in the bay."

thanks for starting your day with us. and let's get you started with a look at the forecast when you walk outside, will it be raining? kari hall has the answer. >> and we're seeing some rain in some spots. we see the rain on the camera lens and it will be spotty as we go into the next couple of hours. but once again, most of that is in the north bay and it is kind of hit or miss elsewhere, but as we've seen some of the pockets of the heavier rain moving through san rafael, that makes the commute more difficult. and we're still going to see the waves of rain coming through as the storm system spins right over the bay area. but once it clears the cold air settles in and it will turn our attention to the next storm system coming in. so more on that in a few minutes. and we have team coverage on the new meters set to be

activated along interstate 680, and it starts tonight. >> and we want to begin with bob redell live near one of the such meters along northbound 680. >> reporter: good morning. we want to point this out, it has nothing to do with your morning commute, this is your afternoon commute when caltrans will be activating the metering lights along northbound 680 south of milpitas up to pleasanton. and you can see on this map where they are located. northbound 680. and all the way up to here at stone ridge drive. lights will turn on between 2:00 and 8:00 when there is a lot of traffic. otherwise they will be turned off or just left on continuously

green. and also washington avenue and mission boulevard route 238, they already have metering lights which will be extended to 8:00 p.m. anyone here in the bay area is familiar with the metering lights. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thanks, bob. and so a closer look at how it may change the commute for us? >> yeah, ideally it will smooth things out as bob was talking about. it is kicking in as early as 2:00 p.m. because folks know that as early as 1:30, things can start to get more crowded headed into this area. so the deal is if it gets crowded enough, the metering lights will be activated.

so throughout the evening that will hopefully smooth out the drive. this is the peak of the slowing for the north bay portion of 680 coming in through the tri-valley. so hopefully it will smooth things out. but word of caution in the area, be prepared as you approach the on-ramps because you may have a backup that forms on that section. here there is a crash southbound 880, sounds like a vehicle lost control and went off the roadway. and here west 24, another vehicle lost roll. and so watch for the slick conditions. back to you. and antioch police announced a a break in the case of a violent assault that left an east bay fast food worker blind in one and i. u.s. marshals arrested white carter and he is facing felony assault charges. the incident happened in

antioch. the man was in a violent altercation with a staff member and the worker said that she was defending a special needs person when the man started yelling violent threats. doctors could not save her right eye. and a bombshell decision by san jose leaders. they voted to appoint two council seats. >> and kris sanchez is looking at that fallout from the decision. and this runs counter to what the council has done before. >> it does. and the question is why. right? so the two big points raised were the cost of a special election which the reregistrar' office says that it could run to $7.5 million to $11 million. and special elections have lower turnouts and could be less democratic. and there are a lot of people who weighed in until nearly

midnight last night. there was a heated meeting with hundreds of citizens speaking out. 134 from districts 8 and 10 which are the ones with the open seats. and others spoke out urging the council to consider the long term effects of appointing replacements rather than having special elections. again, district 8 and district 10. and the district mayor elect -- >> so he will continue to lead our city and also represent district 10 whereas my district,s it is almost always forgotten, will not have representation and so with a special election people are asking to overlook that. >> we don't have the luxury to say that cost doesn't matter.

>> last time council member was appointed was back in 1994 and then the next five say cans is is were filled with special elections. latest was in 2014. last night he said clearly they don't know what the voters want. >> how ironic that they think that they should appoint council members for these two districts. despite the fact that they got it pretty wrong only two week before. at least in the view of the majority of the electorate. so, yes, this is unprecedented. and i think it brings shame to our city.

>> and he says the council for the wrong. laura. and now talking about the city of richmond, finally taking aun unusual step to determine a winner in last month's city council race there. both candidates received the exact same number of votes in the race for the district seat. and that means that a tie breaker. but this is literally left to luck. last friday the county elections office certified the results. so today each candidate's name will be placed in a sealed unmarked envelope. one will be drawn to determine the winner. they resort to a draw because they couldn't afford a runoff election. and today is the day oakland leaders will consider renames one of its streets against too short. ♪♪ if approved one stretch of the road in oakland may soon be

called too short way. it will cover about a three block stretch from 47th to high street which also runs past fremont high school where he graduated. too short has not commented publically on that plan. and taking a live look at san jose, dry right now. hopefully doesn't stay that way too long. we've been enjoying the rain because it is so needed. >> and still need in the north bay as we are seeing in is an are a fall. and some of the showers moving through much of the north bay.

we'll see the rain tapering off in the afternoon but we'll talk more about that coming up in a few minutes. and nothing to be worried about anything, but slick roadways. you will need some extra time again this morning because you will want to slow things down a tad bit. look at this blue, puddling likely throughout the northwest bay. and it pushes toward richmond. the green shows you again wet roadways. we had a spinout or what sounds like a spinout. car lost control and off the shoulder on the right west 24. a little slowing past the scene as volume builds. volume will be more at chase center, but warriors playing tonight. and adam sandler has a concert 8:00 p.m., so maybe more traffic

on 280. so a little warning for you. 680, we talked about the metering lights, that is one factor hopefully making things easier for you this afternoon. but starting next monday, overnight closures approaching highway 84. and over here typical slowing which we always predict north 101 through san jose. and possible changes in the works to help people make it in the bay. and coming up, first of the kind push to even the playing field when it comes to finding new housing. and we're down to the wire in georgia. arizona turning a lot more glue. and a also for you, historic bay area landmark turns 50, up grades to celebrate the big milestone.

the time is 5:45. we're taking a live look in oakland where we're still seeing puddling. still a cool day and we'll talk about what is ahead as get more rain in the forecast coming up. and at the bay bridge, more backups but the metering lights are not on.

damp roads here and we're following a couple spinouts. and big day for president biden. a trip to arizona and that election in georgia. >> yeah, and scott mcgrew is joining us. so good news about the chip plants and the senate seat? >> yeah, we may not know the results for a few days. democrats think that they have the advantage based on turnout we'll see. s it is raphael warnock versus herschel walker. and this is the second time georgians are going to the polls to vote for senator. general election in early november left neither with a majority so we have a runoff today. walker has said his supporters will show up today in person, election day. forecast for atlanta, rain. for savannah, rain.

macon, rain. in arizona, democrat katie hobbs officially the governor elect, the state certified the result of its election. challenger kari lake still claims she won but that is irrelevant now. and current doug ducey. >> we waited patiently for the democratic process to play out. and now the votes have been tabulated in all 15 counties certifying the results band in arizona we built a strong foundation and our future is bright. >> ob hobbs was next to doocy at that announcement which also confirmed the election of mark kelly. the reason hobbs is at the head table she is currently the secretary of state, she is in charge of elections, in charge of her own election. republicans objected to that understandably, but not

uncommon. brian kemp supervised his own election. but arizona is a lot more blue. and president biden will be in arizona today to celebrate the opening of one chip plant, a plant built during the trump administration. and then in the middle of all that, the taiwanese company tsmc is expected to announce that they are building yet another chip plant. big picture is world trade america relying less on china, on taiwan for critical chips. part of the plan with the bipartisan chip bill. we'll watch that and the house vote on gay and interracial marriage as well. respect for marriage. we'll talk about it on social media. on twitter you can find me at scott mcgrew. a new push to even the odds. there will be the new fair chance housing ordinance that

would ban all landlords from considering background checks. and san francisco is one of two cities with the law on the books right now. and today's debate will get under way at 1:00 p.m. and happening today, a san francisco icon celebrates a golden anniversary. i'm talking about the trans america pyramid. >> and later this morning they will celebrate it 50th anniversary. it opened back in 1972. and the current owners will also break ground on a renovation. one of the owners recalls the first time he saw it visiting from israel. >> i remember seeing the golden gate bridge, cable cars, and of course the pyramid. and looking at this building, and coming from israel and

living there with no running water and no electricity, this was the future. i think i felt i was on a different planet. >> so why invest $400 million now as we are with to enter a recession. >> he said there is no good or bad time to buy a building like the trans america pyramid and invest in it. he says there is more demand for office space in the mere mid now than pre-covid. there is a new restaurant owning in new york city that may say thank you for being a friend. >> whether and you have a chance to eat in the golden girl's kitchen about this is the latest pop-up restaurant opening in new york city. the setup look like that miami hangout where the famous foursome once enjoyed banter. for the $40 admission fee, fans get a 90 minute reservation with

anything. a lot more for novato, nearing an inch. for san jose, about an tenth of an inch. and it is still pouring once again in the north bay and some of the areas racking up on the rainfall totals. novato seeing the heaviest moving through, but that is also complicating the commute heading through the north bay as we continue to see the rain in spots. other areas are just seeing some of the lighter showers. right now the temperature is at 47, it is starting to clear out a bit and then we'll have a cold morning and then we'll start to see the temperatures in the mid-50s going through late morning. but the rest of day, scattered showers will continue. here we are at 10:00 and it is mostly the north bay the focus of where we could see more of that rain. but it does start to wind down and even this evening there will be a slight chance of showers.

tonight it clears out and then we'll have our next round of rain coming in late on thursday. so not much of a break, but of course all of this much needed. as far as temperatures, we're in the mid to upper 50s for today and tomorrow morning we'll start out cold near freezing in parts of the north bay. inland valley may be dealing with frost. next cold front comes in on friday, another system right behind that, it looks like it will stay very busy over at least the next week. as additional rainfall continues to move in. and as far as how much rain we could see between now and sunday, the potential of getting about 2 to 3 inches of rain in parts of the north bay where you see the pink, the red indicates where we could have about 1 to 2 inches of rain over the next few days. and more snow for the sierra. and another couple of feet for south lake tahoe, possibly up to 42 inches for king veil and kirkwood. so you can see that the rain is off and on really only wednesday is our dry day in the forecast.

rain comes back thursday night off and on friday. but it does look like it will be another one of those weekends to catch up on the movies and maybe enjoy some time inside with family. mike, looks like the meerting lights are on about. >> backup is forming here. chp report doesn't say it is activated. there is slowing westbound 830 and across the span as well. there is rain just north of san rafael. but smooth drive from santa rose down to the golden gate bridge. the crash still on the shoulder, but watch for the west 24 slow. back to you. and happening now, walnut creek leaders are getting ready to finalize a new downtown out door dining policy. council members gave the green
