forecast and i know if you stepped outside at all today, you know it's still cold. >> it's cold out there. we have not seen that change. eventually we will see changes in the form of wet weather coming in. as we get a look at what is going on right now, yes, it's freezing in parts of the north bay and the south bay and into the tri-valley. after this cold start we will start to seat clouds coming in. this is out ahead of the next storm system that will bring us rain early tomorrow morning. we are dry today. you can leave the umbrella at home. then at 4:00 we start to see heavier rain move into parts of the north bay. it will start out heavy and then get a little bit lighter as it transitions from that yellow to green, that's a lighter rain. we will see that spreading across the bay area off and on throughout the afternoon. we will talk about the weekend as well as the sierra snowpack, but first mike is tracking the

commute. developing for you at this hour, alameda county investigators are taking a look at new numbers. this is a police shooting and in police deaths. >> today in the bay's bob redell joins us at the hall of justice in dublin, and the district attorney is the one asking these questions, bob. >> reporter: correct. the newly elected county district attorney, pamela price, promised she would do this once she took office. she is opening the investigation into eight officer-involved shootings and in-custody deaths. this is part of the public accountability unit. and loved ones of gonzalez said this was welcome news. he was killed after three officers tried to restrain him in 2021. then the district attorney cleared the officers involved of

wrong doing. and blanco has been working with his mother for two years and learned recently gonzalez's case is one of the eight d.a. price plans to investigate. >> in speaking with her, she has a lot of faith that hopefully this is something the d.a. is going to take serious. >> reporter: in a statement district attorney price wrote, i promise accountability. this unit and its work are the start of the reckoning add media county asked for in holding people accountable for their conduct. and then another statement said, price has had a long-standing act on officers. i fear that in alameda county that standard will be entirely disregarded by d.a. price when evaluating cases involving

police officers. reporting outside the justice hall in dublin, bob redell for "today in the bay." and then providing more military support for south korea. earlier this week lloyd austin, secretary of defense, made a promise that is not going over well with north korean leaders. there was a statement that was released saying it is prepared to counter the moves. we are learning more about president biden's first one-on-one meeting with kevin mccarthy. there was another search for classified documents in president biden's beach home. and brie jackson is live in washington.

let's start with the meeting between the two leaders. how did it go? >> well, the white house is under the microscope when it comes to the classified documents as president biden tries to move forward with his agenda. the president did meet with house speaker, kevin mccarthy, for more than an hour where there were no signs of a breakthrough agreement on the debt ceiling. negotiations over avoiding a catastrophic default on the debt continues, after what is being described as a good first meeting between president biden and house speaker, kevin mccarthy. >> we both laid out some of our vision of where we want to get to. >> republicans demanding spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt ceiling but are not providing specifics. >> do the republicans have a plan? what is that plan? >> speaker mccarthy expressing optimism in reaching a deal. the top house republican faces

opposition within his own party. >> kevin mccarthy doesn't have 218 points to put an actual deal and proposal forward for spending cuts. >> one thing gop members are uniting around is the investigation of president biden and the classified documents found at his delaware home. >> somebody leaked it out. we never would have heard it from the white house. >> administration officials revealing no classified documents were found at his beach house. >> we have addressed openly and directly the searches that were conducted. >> president biden ignoring questions about the matter as he prepares to address his challenges and triumphs at next week's state of the union. president biden will deliver his second state of the union dress

i think we will see it remain unchanged. when we talk about the sierra snowpack, yes, it's more than double its normal amount. this is the best we have seen since february of 1995. as we go into the weekend we are expecting additional snowfall to come down anywhere from about 4 to 16 inches. when we think about how climate change affected our sierra snowpack, only two of the past 11 years have we finished the season of 100% of normal. that's really great news we are seeing here. even if we don't get another snowflake, we will end the season with our average snowfall. we are going to see another 15 to 12 inches of snow, so heads up if you are going to the sierra this weekend. mike, you have been watching where we can fill up for slightly lower prices? >> yeah, we're trying, but some just squeaking in under the $4

remark. lucky service. and then concord, that's contra costa's best, and it's 3.89, 20 cents higher than earlier. and then 3.69, the best in the bay area. looking over towards the rest of the bay, and we are looking at vasco still at the speed limit as you are traveling out of 580. just a build out of the altamont pass, just below the 20-mile-per-hour mark. and then 880, a great flow of traffic after the crash investigation was blocking some right lanes. back to you. >> thanks so much, mike. we want to give you a live look at the international space station.

and then fed raised rates by quarter percent. that has some thinking the fed may be done raising rates. powell says not so fast. he uses fed speak, so it's pretty dry, but here's what he said. >> we continue to anticipate ongoing increases will be appropriate in order to obtain a -- >> ongoing increases. that means interest rate hikes. wall street doesn't believe him. wall street is acting like we are done. >> that's been the communication on it. it would have been a shock if he would have raised it even higher. >> we are swimming in jobs data. we got the job open and labor turnover, and they call it j.o.l.t. we get jobless claims in about

15 minutes, and this is people who should be getting lay off, but are not. the economy still is super strong and evidence it's strong may cause the fed to raise rates, so we are hoping for mediocre news tomorrow. they call that the goldilocks number. we want the jobs number to come down. what is the strongest economy, the state with the strongest economy in the union? >> right here. >> california. what happened in california that we are measuring? it rained and rained and rained. nobody highs in the rain. so all that flooding may help the jobs data, and it's something we are watching for. >> interesting. >> yeah. well we now know how netflix

will implement a plan to stop password sharing. it will have a verified code. netflix will send an e-mail with a four-digit verification code, but you have 15 minutes to enter it before it expires and you may have to pay extra if you are caught sharing, but the amount is not clear. in peru, coasta reeka. >> the community opening up a creative retreat, and rogan insists this is not a contest. the retreat only has three evenings you can book, so

let's talk about what we have going on around here as we go into the weekend. it's going to be freezing in some spots again in parts of our inland valleys as you get ready to head out the door. it's a mainly clear start, but as we see the storm system approaching we will start to see more clouds moving in today. this weekend we're getting ready for off and on showers and totals anywhere from half an inch. as far as our temperatures, we'll reach into the low 60s today in livermore. 66 degrees in palo alto. and in san josé 66. more clouds moving in earlier and the temperatures holding down just a few degrees as the rain approaches. we can see the clouds right now as it is now off the coast, and once again it's going to become mostly cloudy today and rain moving in as early as 3:00 in the morning for parts of the north bay approaching san francisco at about 4:00 tomorrow

ceiling, something congress has to do each year. president biden wants congress to raise the debt ceiling, as it always does, because not doing so could cause a worldwide recession. speaker mccarthy on the right wants to negotiate first, find places the federal government can cut costs in the future because in his words, this is unsustainable. >> we both from different perspectives on this, but i thought this was a good meeting. we promised we would continue the conversation and let's see if we can get there. at the end of the day, we can find common ground. >> the white house says it won't negotiate but will have parallel talks if mccarthy will agree the debt ceiling has to be raised. the debt ceiling does not allow congress to spend more money. congress already spent the money. we were talking yesterday, if congress were to make cuts in
