looking at south bay slowing. >> yeah, we are looking at different trends to help folks anticipate where they might need to leave early. san josé showing the recovering of 101, and i did see slowing on 101 past the airport. they are doing continued work at the off-ramp here. we are going to watch the trends. so far san josé does seem like a standard build as far as the volume goes. slowing sensors out of hayward south 880. no surprises for 37 or the bay bridge toll plaza but the metering lights are on. happening today, the father accused of trying to kill his family by driving over a cliff on devil's slide will be before a judge. bob redell is outside the courthouse in redwood this

morning. this is a heartbreaking story, but it will be interesting to follow in court, bob. >> reporter: correct. good morning, laura. later this afternoon at the superior court behind me in redwood city, patel will be facing a charge on charges he tried to kill his wife and two children. on january 2nd he intentionally drove his tesla off a 250-foot cliff along the san mateo coastline. he's a doctor from pasadena. his wife and 7-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son were seriously injured but remarkably survived after stays in the hospital. and the d.a. charged patel with three counts of attempted murder and enhancements of causing great bodily harm and domestic violence. he made the charging based on eyewitness accounts and the wife making incriminating statements to paramedics and traffic video.

>> there are cameras, so we have video showing the movement of the car after it left the tunnel and went up the hill and turned off the road and turned to go down the cliff. >> reporter: the judge issued a no harassment order to limit contact with his family, especially his wife. attempted murder cases are hard to prosecute and in this situation legal analysts believes the prosecution only has circumstantial evidence. if patel is convicted he faces life in prison. >> like i said, it will be so interesting to follow this one. thanks for the latest, bob. word this morning of americans killed in the powerful earthquake in turkey and syria, this as the number of confirmed deaths moves past 17,000.

to remove a crude tweet from krissy teigen, calling the president names. the whole thing was about the danger of the government trying to influence content on twitter. that was quite the revelation. a firm in san francisco said it will cut about 500 people, it's the buy now and pay later service on the web. the ceo says what every other ceo seems to be saying, they over hired. netflix trying to clarify its policy on passwords. this change is not in america yet but it's getting closer. they just started enforcing that in canada. some people have questions like what if i travel and want to use my account? the company has a history of confusing announcements. back in 2011, netflix tried to

split itself in two companies leaving customers confused and angry and then ended up just apologizing for the whole thing. >> how sorry i am of the way we handled the communication around these big changes. we do think over the long term it will help us innovate much faster, build a better dvd service and a better streaming service and earn everybody's interest. >> we were talking about what a debacle this was. >> yeah, i remember. >> such a debacle, "saturday night live" made a clip. >> you know me, i am andy. we heard you are upset about the changes, but you won't be upset when you hear about our newest changes. first off, netflix.com is no more. okay. full disclosure, we forgot to renew the domain name. >> i knew he was back on "saturday night live." >> yeah, he was great.

>> i had no idea that they had marathons in antarctica or the north pole. huh-uh. >> this meteorologist is not taking a chance. >> you want to go? >> no. all right. we are talking about how cool it has been, but it's also been dry. we just got an update on the drought monitor this morning. all the heavy rain we had through the first of the year has really improved the drought status significantly. we have not seen a change this morning. we are going to continue to see improvements in the drought and also even as we go into the next few weeks if we don't get anymore rain, most likely this won't change. we are abnormally dry with the yellow that we are seeing there along the central coast into santa cruz as well as around the tahoe region, but for us here in the bay area, still a moderate drought. our temperatures today warming up and headed for the upper 60s. santa rosa reaching 68 degrees. you will see a high of 68 in

fremont and mountain view. look at morgan hill and san martin, the warmer spots today reaching into the 70s. unfortunately it doesn't last because we are going to see a significant cooldown for the weekend. tomorrow a lot of us will stay in the 50s from the peninsula over towards the east bay and parts of the north bay. as we take it hour by hour, here's the reason why we will be cooling off. scattered showers in the forecast late tomorrow evening. it's going to be very hit or miss. i think only parts of the north bay will see the highest chance of rain, but much of that falls apart before it makes it into the rest of the bay area. still lingering showers across the region between friday evening and saturday morning. we may see some spots able to measure a little bit of rain before it moves out on saturday afternoon. the rest of the weekend is dry. moving ahead, we see that system quickly passing. there's not a whole lot coming into the forecast, even through next week. much of the storm systems that

do approach dissipate and the rain doesn't make it to the bay area so that's where we are expecting to continue. it's going to be cold. there's no significant warm-up here. gilroy today reaching the low 70s. a big cooldown for the weekend. on sunday, a nice little rebound but we are still looking at cool weather all throughout next week and into the weekend. our inland temperatures kind of going up and down, a little bit of a roller coaster here. today will be the warmest day we will see in quite a while. mike, you are tracking a new crash in concord? >> yeah, west highway 4 at an on-ramp, somewhere near san marcos off highway 4 and that's why it's not causing more slowing. we have the build with more traffic coming down 242. more traffic at the bay bridge toll plaza. the metering lights turned on at the normal time. the rest of the bay, a pretty

typical pattern. back to you. >> thank you. next on "today in the bay," "nbc bay area responds." >> he lives here but the phone company is charging him taxes like he lives 1,500 miles away. what is the hang up there? i am consumer investigator, chris chmura.

we reached out to verizon and the very next day it contacted michael saying it would work on a fix. the next month michael's phone bill had no south dakota taxes. he told us without your intervention i am confident the problem that had gone on for 13 months would not be resolved. and then verizon credited him for the extra taxes. verizon said they were grateful to michael for allowing them to continue to earn his loyalty. if a phone company charges you for services you did not order, you can ask our team for help. scan this qr code to fill out the consumer complaint form online. and seeing heart

we talked about the changes ahead, and mike, you are tracking changes on the roadways. >> yeah, looking at more volume for dublin. an easy build, a predictable pattern. slowing down through pleasanton and that will stick around for much of the morning commute. no surprises for the south bay. we have a little build again for 101. thought we might have more expensive slowing, but holding steady and a little blip coming off west 880 as well. under 20 minutes from highway 4 to this spot. back to you. >> thank you, mike. a man terrified worshippers when he fired blanks in a synagogue. he's scheduled to be arraigned in a few hours.

the officers arrested that suspect on friday. this is when prosecutors are calling for that incident to be a felony hate crime. synagogue members say they are relieved that suspect will face serious charges. >> the shooting itself was very, very quick. people don't know what was happening. there was a concern in my mind that somehow he will only be charged with the more minor crime and then be let out in half a year to a year. >> prosecutors added hate crime enhancement based on statements the suspect is believed to have made and social media media showed anti-semitic views. he will be held without bail. and then the san francisco police department is offering a 50,000 reward to help find a killer. 21-year-old carpenter was shot near jefferson square park. he was later dropped off at a hospital where he died two days

this morning. and kris sanchez has a look at what this study shows. >> it was a national study that looked at heart attack deaths in 2020, and it showed heart attacks were up for all groups. here are the numbers for you. a 30% increase in adults 25 to 44. again, this is a group not usually considered high risk for heart attack. 20% increase in adults 45 to 64, and a 15% increase in adults 65 and older. researchers say they have seen heart attacks can be brought on by infections like the flu, but the post pandemic covid spikes they say are unlike anything they have seen. covid appears to trigger or accelerate pre-existing coronary artery disease, even in you know people, and that combined with social logical stress in

response. the deaths correlated more with the timing of the covid surges and not with the timing of covid vaccinations and boosters. >> the data would strongly suggest the timing of the spikes of heart attack deaths are in timing with the infections with the different waves caused by the different variants, and does not coincide with the boosters. >> that doctor said covid makes blood more tacky and can clot more, and the covid virus creates inflammation within the blood vessels causing the problems. >> there are some things just to be aware of that we can all do for our own heart health. >> we heard it before and hear it every year, and some people are more at risk, women, people

of color, but you have to exercise -- >> yeah. >> i know it's national pizza day, but eat in moderation for your diet. >> it's interesting data. >> yeah. >> okay. let's get moving. >> it's a good day to go outside, because there are spring-like temperatures today. >> yeah, let's take a live look at san josé. it's going to shape up to be a nice one today. >> yeah, we have warm weather but it cools down by the time you get to the weekend. the lantern parade on saturday evening in napa, and we go from low 60s to temperatures dropping quickly as soon as the sun sets. make sure you are bundled from the downtown area to veterans park as that lamp parade makes its way through town.

more than 1.50, and we are going to make sure the oil companies are going to play their role and it will go further. take home pay from workers is going up slightly. manufacturing is rebounding at the fastest rate in 40 years. the economy is going at a solid clip. i hate to disappoint you, but the biden economic plan is working. he is accurate on the numbers, but there are two problems. the problem for him, many americans say he is not handling the economy well, but the economy is doing well if you base it off the data, the record job numbers. and then we don't want the economy to do too well and it's the central bank's job to slow the economy down in order to get a handle on the inflation. the economy keeps surprising us with new records.

here's kashkari saying the interest rates need to go higher. >> it tells me so far we are not seeing much of an imprint on the tightening of the labor market, and i have not seen anything yet to lower my rate path, but i am obviously keeping my eyes open and we will see how the data comes in, and right now i am still around 5.4%. the biden administration is looking at new rules and policies that would allow the deportation to mexico even if they are not mexican. "the posts" says the white house is in negotiations with the mexican government, and it would affect those asylum seekers that violate the rules like not showing up for the hearing, and if that person is from venezuela it's unethical to return them

here. haiti and nicaragua also on that list. >> scott, thank you. a new void this morning in the east bay with leadership. an alameda supervisor has died. richard valle died yesterday, and many will remember him for his compassionate leadership. many people say he championed issues for working families. this has been an extremely trying time for the board. >> it's been very difficult. it was supervisor chan, and now supervisor valle. both served for many, many years. they have a lot of knowledge and wisdom between the two of them. >> the county has roughly two

months to fill his seat. in a statement his family said supervisor valle began his service to the nation when he served in vietnam in 1970. he continued his commitment to the people until his death. a popular broadcaster that hosted his show from san quinton prison could do that wherever he polices. he was greeted by friends and fans as he walked out of san quinton yesterday, this after governor gavin newsom last month granted him clemency, citing his dedication to rehabilitation. thomas was serving a sentence of 55 years to life after being convicted for murder in 2000. in 2017 he started producing his podcast through collect calls. 6:48 right now. trending this morning, valuable pieces of the niners super bowl legacy can be yours. >> we can't forget, you know,

the stripes on his jersey was different from his teammates, and back then they were not so sensitive. >> how cool would it be to get some of that? the collection is valued at more than $4 million. no, montana will not be selling his four super bowl rings. joe plans to pass those down to his children. >> a lot of history there. >> there is. it's never too early to start thinking about lunch. >> especially when it's national pizza day. to celebrate we are offering you just a slice of pizza knowledge this morning. the national day calendar reminds us pepperoni is the most popular pizza, and americans consume an average of 23 pounds of pizza per person every year. 17% of all u.s. restaurants are pizzerias. the first opened in naples, italy, in 1738. what is your favorite kind of

pizza? let me know on social media. i posted this this morning, and look, pepperoni, overwhelmingly winning at 63% so far. there are deals on our page for the pizza pie. >> almost lunchtime for us. when you wake up at 2:00, 7:00 is lunchtime. >> i was trying to order for the crew, though, but nothing is open right now. >> yeah, you can get gas station pizza. >> there we go. oh. >> you can. >> that's all that is open right now. let's talk about the drought monitor. just got the update this morning as we are looking at no changes now. we are still doing very well after all the rain that we had earlier this year. we had significant improvements and there's no more in red in california which would mean extreme drought. we are in moderate drought for us here in the bay area. we are also seeing abnormally

dry conditions for the central coast up to santa cruz as well as the tahoe region. once again, significant improvements there. it's a hazy sunrise this morning. this will be not only the warmest day of the week but also the day with the worst air quality, unfortunately. we talked about the high pressure yesterday, and it pushes the pollutants and particulate matter back down to the surface. across the bay area air quality will be moderate. we will have something tomorrow that will sweep everything clean once again and maybe even bring in a slight chance of rain. there's a cold front that will be approaching. as it comes in we see clouds and even spotty showers by about 6:00 tomorrow evening, and it's going to be so hit or miss that not all of the bay area will see those rain chances. there will be a slight chance between late friday night and early on saturday, but the north bay seeing the highest chance of the rain before we all dry out

heading into saturday afternoon. beyond that we are not seeing anymore rain chances. even for the middle of next week, when we were hoping to get another chance of showers on valentine's day, it looks like the system will bump up against dry air and the rain falls apart before it arrives in the bay area. we are putting a lot of sun icons here on the 7-day forecast. notice the temperatures are going up and down. it's warm today with upper 60s inland, chilly tonight and then we make it up to about 60 tomorrow. upper 50s on saturday and then a warm-up on sunday. then we are back down for the middle of next week with only mid to upper 50s for highs for next tuesday and wednesday. mike, you were telling me police were warning about a crash in san ramon. >> it's not affecting 680 but the approach to 680. there's an overturned vehicle and somebody is stuck in the car just off the freeway traveling west. you cannot access the freeway -- at least not directly access the

freeway from this road. if you head south to canyon road, that's clear as far as accessing 680. 680 moving smooth until you get to pleasanton. same thing for 880 south. and no crashes, and the crash is on the peninsula and we will continue to look at that. a new relief center opening for recent storm victims, and they are opening a disaster recovery center at the county event center. it will help veterans and information on housing options. it opens at 9:00 a.m. and will operate daily through february 22nd. the deadline to register for relief is march 16th. up next, a top look at the stories on "today in the bay," including new details emerging about the father of purposely driving his car off of the
