5:01 am
i'm marcus washington. >> i'm laura garcia. busy monday here on "today in the bay." we're going to check in with mike in just a little bit. but let's look at the forecast today. >> it was so beautiful over the weekend, and yesterday was almost like a taste of spring. >> it was. >> we're going to go back to winter here for a couple of days. it's cold already right now as we're getting started. temperatures just above freezing in santa rosa, 34 degrees. it's 36 in dublin and 44 right now in oakland. we have some mid-30s right now in san martin. as you get ready to head out in san rafael this morning, it's in the upper 30s and we'll see temperatures remaining in the upper 30s. low 40s. we will have a lot of sunshine to start out, but as we go into this afternoon still pretty comfortable. but it's going to be very windy, especially near the coastline. and big changes ahead, even some spotty showers in tomorrow's forecast. we'll talk about that in a few minutes. mike, you're looking at fog
5:02 am
at the bay bridge. >> it's creeping into our view right now. look at that. floating around, can't really see the eastshore freeway well. when you're on the eastshore freeway, i believe you can see fine, but the overhead signs might be tough to read. this is a familiar view, folks approaching the toll plaza. the speeds not really impacted, but if you come across a patch like in vallejo, simply slow your speeds a bit. you've got to do that for safety's sake. just because you know your way, you should still look and others might not know it that well. we're looking at the reopen of northbound 680. it looks like everything has cleared from the grid. we'll check on the tri-valley and build for 84. back to you. we're working to find out more about overnight police activity in san jose. this was the scene about 2:15 this morning in the alleyway near west chester boulevard. our photographer says investigators responded to a report of a woman hit by a
5:03 am
vehicle. we're still working to confirm what happened. we've contacted san jose police. as soon as new details come in, we'll update you right here on "today in the bay." happening today, newly formed discipline committee will meet to consider the fate of oakland police chief leronne armstrong. >> "today in the bay's" bob redell is joining us live. the committee should consider whether or not chief armstrong should be punished for his alleged mishandling of the case involving officer misconduct. >> reporter: you are correct. good morning to you, marcus and laura. last week the oakland police commission created this newly formed discipline committee to take control of the case involving oakland police chief leronne armstrong, who the mayor suspended last month because he allegedly failed to hold accountable an officer accused of misconduct. according to sources within the police department, the officer was tied to a hit-and-run crash and then later the same officer allegedly fired his weapon inside a police station service elevator. all of this came to light
5:04 am
through the federal oversight process that originated two decades ago following a widespread scandal that shook up the oakland police department. armstrong is adamant and says he knows he did nothing wrong and acted appropriately based on the information that was given to him. groups like the oakland naacp have called for his reinstatement. the newly formed discipline commission can choose to fire the chief and pose some other sort of discipline, or do nothing at all. the commission must move fast because a federal judge has ordered the city to court by april 4th with a plan for handling the misconduct cases. there's a special meeting of the police commission tonight at 5:30, followed by the discipline commission meeting at 8:00. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you. well, developing for you now, growing calls for answers. this is after u.s. forces, once again, shut down another high-flying object. the latest incident happening
5:05 am
yesterday between canada and michigan. this is over lake huron. a total of four similar situations have taken place in the past two weeks. three taking place on friday alone. "today in the bay's" brie jackson is live in washington tracking the latest. what is the pentagon saying about this? >> reporter: good morning. well, the pentagon is declining to describe these objects as balloons, these most recent objects as balloons. military officials are still trying to recover the object that was last shot down so that they can get more information about it. but lawmakers here on capitol hill say they're being left in the dark about the situation. the u.s. military shooting down a fourth unidentified high altitude object, this time over lake huron. >> what's gone on the last ten days has been nothing short of craziness and the military needs to have a plan to not only determine what's out there, but
5:06 am
determine the dangers that go with it. >> reporter: president biden ordering the takedown after military officials raised concerns about the object's path and altitude, saying it was a safety flight hazard and a threat due to its potential surveillance capabilities. this marks the third object blasted out of the sky in just three days, and comes a week after a chinese surveillance balloon had americans' eyes glued to the sky. >> they do appear somewhat trigger happy, but it's preferable to the permissive environment they showed when the chinese spy balloon was over some of our most sensitive sites. >> reporter: military leaders say they're scrutinizing airspace and examining data to determine what the objects are, as bipartisan calls for transparency grow. >> why it's taking so long, number one for me personally to identify these objects, why is it taking so long for them to be shot down. >> in the absence of information, people's anxiety leads them into potentially
5:07 am
destructive areas. so i do hope very soon the administration has a lot more information for all of us on what's going on. >> reporter: lawmakers are pushing for a briefing on the unidentified flying objects. the pentagon continues to search for debris and answers about their nature and purpose. and defense officials say there was no indication of aliens with these recent takedowns, marcus. >> glad to hear that. still, very concerning, four within the past couple of weeks. that is scary. brie jackson in washington this morning, thank you. now to continuing coverage of the devastation in turkey and syria, where massive earthquakes hit just over a week ago. the death toll is hard to believe, but it stands over 33,000 people. turkish officials have arrested three people, they're investigating 130 additional contractors allegedly linked to the collapsed buildings. hope does remain in the search for survivors. a pregnant woman and two
5:08 am
children were found among the rubble over the weekend. here at home, communities are banning together to help those earthquake victims. students at santa clara university are planning a special candlelight vigil for tonight and aid is coming in. this east palo alto driveway has been overflowing with hundreds of boxes. volunteers with the northern california turkish american association are collecting tents, sleeping bags, baby formula, and feminine products. organizers say they hope the items make it in time to help during the harsh winter weather. >> this box has toys and even if one single item reaches to the right person, we are okay with that. >> the boxes go straight to sfo and are loaded onto turkish airlines flights. if you want to help quake victims, we've posted information on charities raising money. head to nbcbayarea.com and click
5:09 am
the link in our trending bar. happening now, the search continues for an east bay man suffering from a brain tumor who went missing over the weekend. the family of antonio silvera say he left his home on mercy avenue in san leandro on saturday and hasn't been seen since. family members say he's fighting a tumor and diabetes and does not have his medication. he was wearing a gray hat, black jacket and gray jeans. if you have any information, you are asked to contact police. new video showing an in-air rescue over stinson beach. chp helicopter responding yesterday afternoon to a water rescue and found a person there stuck on the rocks below highway 1. you can see a firefighter drop down and put the person in the basket and fly them to the air onto the highway. that person was taken to the hospital but is expected to be okay. good to know. 5:09 on your monday morning.
5:10 am
taking a peek outside. winter making a little return after a touch of spring over the weekend. chilly and windy start to the day. kari has a look at our forecast. we're starting out with fog, but as we go into today the wind is going to start to pick up and we'll have a wind advisory for these areas highlighted in orange, mostly along the coastline and in parts of the north bay, as well as the hills. some of those gusts may top 50 miles per hour. let's take it hour-by-hour. i'm going to stop it right here at 11:00 this morning, where we are seeing some of the higher winds picking up. where we see the purple, that's 50-mile-per-hour wind gusts. and then as we go into the afternoon and into the evening, it's move through parts of the peninsula, marin, sonoma county seeing high winds, and it's still going to be breezy elsewhere, but some of the highest winds will be near the immediate coastline. we're also going to have changes. our temperatures today reaching into the low to mid-60s, the next few days will be much cooler.
5:11 am
so i'll have a look at that coming up in a few minutes. mike has a look at where we can find lower gas prices. >> in the north bay, the safeway in vallejo reported at $3.97. i think that was so they could eek out the $3.99. contra costa county, $3.89 at the 76 on monument boulevard. south bay's lowest is great days in cupertino, same as all week last week, but now we're watching the price at $3.89. that's 20 cents higher than last month. roadways, 65 is the highest you're supposed to go in most spots and that's what you're doing. we've cleared the construction from the weekend and north 680 should be open again. over here on northbound 101, the only slowing. we saw a smooth drive away from

5:18 am
"today's" jenna bush hager is getting a firsthand look at the technology to explain love from a professor who has been studying this for decades. how do our brains react and how do feelings evolve when looking at loved ones and even strangers? >> i think what's important to realize is that it's normal and okay for love feelings to change over time, especially to decrease in long-term relationships. it doesn't necessarily mean you need to break up. >> you can watch jenna being put to the test later this morning on the "today" show. that's at 7:00 right after us here on "today in the bay." 5:18 right now, and if you are still one of the many looking for love, new research shows that you might be barking up the wrong tree. >> that's right. trending this morning, world's best cat litter commissioned a poll. you see where this is going. it found the majority of people find potential suitors more
5:19 am
attractive if they have pictures of cats on their dating profile. 75% of cat owners and even 61% of people who don't own a cat of their own, supposedly, think you're prettier if you show a cat. it's something to keep in mind when maybe filling out your next dating profile. 70% of those surveyed think you need to reveal whether you own a pet or not. which i can see that's important if you have allergies. >> if you own a pet, maybe. but i know many people say if you had a cat, you're out. >> yeah. >> i should put one on my driver's license picture. >> so when you get pulled over -- >> oh, go ahead. >> you go home to your kitty cat. >> good luck trying to do that at the dmv. >> interesting. we're just one day away from valentine's day. it's about to turn much cooler so we've got a lot of changes in the weather department over the next couple of days. let's get a look at what to
5:20 am
expect. today is going to be windy, especially for the coast and hills. some of those gusts will reach 50 miles per hour. be ready for that. now, our temperatures are also going to be dropping and it's going to be feeling much more like winter, especially after being spoiled this weekend and the rest of the week, our mornings started out near freezing. we'll have cold and sunny days. take a look at our rain chances in the forecast. hour-by-hour, stopping it at 9:00 tomorrow morning, even a chance of some wintery precipitation for our hills farther to the north, around ukiah and clear lake. as we see the spotty showers rolling on through, not everyone gets wet weather tomorrow. kind of like what we experienced on saturday with it being hit or miss. and our temperatures are headed for the low 60s for today. we're going to drop at about 5 degrees in many spots compared to yesterday, reaching 64 in oakland, as well as novato, and in san francisco 60 degrees.
5:21 am
let's take it to tomorrow and this is the high temperature. it's going to be much cooler compared to what we had over the weekend. today the cooling trend continues. but it will be the coolest day of the week. we head for the upper 50s for wednesday. so we are going to see rain chances moving in as well as colder temperatures and there will even be a slight chance of rain on friday. it looks as of now that system stays off the coast, but if it jogs in a little bit more inland, rain chances will be going up. so we're only going to see high temperatures once again in the low 50s tomorrow, but then you see low 60s. there is not a significant warm-up here. we're still going to have to layer up over the next few days and every now and then get out the umbrellas. mike, you're seeing foggy conditions at the bay bridge. >> that may be an issue if you're not familiar with the area. most folks kind of know this like the back of their hand. we're looking at any possible issues and fog might be one of
5:22 am
them, visibility across the span here. i believe the maintenance crew went eastbound on the bridge toward richmond so we're not looking at surprises. highway 37, a little slow out of vallejo, fog and your typical build. the rest of the bay, no surprises. back to you. >> thanks, mike. meta platforms have delayed finalizing budgets for several teams within the company, and it prepares for another round of layoffs.

even some patchy frost. take a look at some of these temperatures. we're at 34 degrees in santa rosa, 36 degrees in san martin and 39 in livermore. martinez, it's 40 right now. we will have sunshine, but the warm-up happens a lot more slowly compared to yesterday. that's because it won't be as warm. but still pretty nice. 64 degrees, but it will be gusty at times. i'm tracking that, as well as a significant cooldown in our forecast for tomorrow. mike, you were tracking a smooth drive through sunol. >> we had a closure over the weekend that's reopened. we just saw the southbound side slow with the yellow sensor read. the northbound side, continued road work for the next few weekends through february. a reminder, there are no lines likely through the area so that might be an issue for some folks and their technology on their cars. 84, a little build. also at the dublin interchange. no surprises. this is a time when we see more
5:32 am
cars coming into the area. the fog is registering on the road weather index so that might be creeping around the south bay. the last few shots have brought brighter lights and less low clouds through palo alto. back to you. >> thank you very much. new overnight, all lanes of northbound 680 are back open following a deadly hit-and-run crash that happened a little after 11:00 last night. the chp tells us one vehicle veered into the right lane, hitting another driver. the driver died and was the only person inside the car at the time. so far, no word on any arrests. continuing coverage this morning, and new video of the deadly home explosion last week in san francisco's sunset neighborhood. we should warn you, it may be hard to watch. that explosion destroyed one home on 22nd avenue near noriega. you can see two people nearby at the time. albert ing and his neighbor were

"today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live in san jose with more on the local food banks scrambling right now. >> reporter: you know, food banks like second harvest here in san jose and across the state, they're going to be trying to figure out how to stretch that dollar even farther, as food prices continue to go up and now that they know that some of those federal benefits are going to be cut in march because of budget cuts. now, the benefits have been in place for low income families across the state for the last
5:35 am
three years through the pandemic. now, current monthly benefits are $281 for those who are single and then the number drops to $23 per month in march. $23. the numbers vary based on household size and income. second harvest silicon valley tells us that it is expecting an increase in demand as the aid is splashed and many are dealing with rising costs. food prices across the state skyrocketed with increases from 2% to 18%, depending on the product. the ceo says the food bank is already seeing a spike because of inflation. >> starting in early january of last year we started seeing another uptick in demand just due to inflation. in our high cost of living area for so many families, food and fuel is a large percentage of their budget, so our numbers are back up to almost the numbers we were at at the height of the pandemic. >> reporter: there are also
5:36 am
concerns that reduced calfresh money spent in stores could affect the economy, so the whole ripple effect. california is one of 32 states set to cut food stamps in march, making this a problem for those struggling to make ends meet. if you have questions about the emergency allotment coming to an end, you can dial 211 for more information. the second harvest hotline also has -- second harvest food bank has a line in english and spanish to answer questions because they know if they can help people with assistance from the state, that will affect the local level. >> hold on, kris. with the demand so high, is there a way for people to help or perhaps get involved? >> reporter: always there is a need for assistance here. the food bank depends on your dollars and they can take that $1 and turn it into four meals. so the best thing that you can
5:37 am
do if you're in a position to help is to donate money because they buy in bulk and have partnerships they've built over years. so money is the best way to help. you can donate goods. if you find yourself in a position where you don't have extra cash in your household, you can volunteer your time because as need rises and they provide more assistance for people in the form of food, they need more people to process it, to package those boxes, to distribute it as well. that's a good way to help and it won't cost you anything. >> it gives a lot as well. your time is a treasure. thanks so much. here is a live look this morning, a dark san francisco. this is ahead of what's being billed a major housing announcement. it's no secret that san francisco suffers from lack of affordable housing, as does the entire bay area. later this morning, mayor london breed, state senator scott wiener and construction workers and affordable housing advocates are holding a news conference. they're expected to announce

5:39 am
get are from ecuador. >> the national retailer federation reports americans plan to spend an average of about $193 this valentine's day. overall, household spending is set to rise by $17 compared to last year. that is actually the second highest level in almost two decades. one booming category is for furry friends as well. more people are buying presents for their pets. or maybe a spa experience. >> for their pet. [ laughter ] >> get ready. >> love is in the air and so is a chill. it's going to be one where you have to cuddle up to stay warm. we're starting out with some fog in parts of the bay area, especially the north bay, but also seeing it move into san jose. take a look at the visibility. about a half of a mile there at the airport and around the bay
5:40 am
area we're going to see a foggy start but then clearing out and then the winds will pick up, as we get a look at our clear view in dublin. already a lot of people up and out the door with temperatures in the upper 30s right now. today we are going to see a slow warm-up as we reach into the mid-60s for this afternoon. san mateo will reach 60 degrees today, 68 in fairfield, one of the warmer spots, while san jose is headed for 64 degrees. not as warm as yesterday, but i guess we better enjoy it because it is the warmest day of this week. we'll talk more about that coming up. mike, you were looking at fog at the bay bridge. >> it is playing a factor for the morning commute, as we're seeing more cars fill in the lanes approaching the toll plaza, where the metering lights should be turning on about now and visibility may cause them to be turned on even though the volume is still manageable. we do see a build for highway 37 and highway 4 coming into concord. look at this over here, there is more slowing heading toward the
5:41 am
bay bridge. highway 24 and 4 and 580 are showing more volume of traffic. the speed sensors are starting to slow. i haven't heard about a problem by the maze, but i'll double-check on westbound 580 heading up to berkeley or to the bay bridge toll plaza. plan well ahead for this one closure, one bore westbound. that would be after the commute is over and one bore remains open. it's an overnight closure tonight and tomorrow, reopening before the morning commute kicks in, at least that's the schedule. we had on schedule the reopening of 680 northbound. overnight closures continue, remember that, starting every night at 10:00, and through the weekend, all weekend next weekend and the following. we're looking at no problem right now at the dublin interchange in your commute direction which comes down this way into sunol. a smooth drive for the rest of the bay. look at the south bay. sometimes we get fog and not everybody is expecting it. do note it's registering on the
