about a 10 degree drop in some spots compared to yesterday. we'll have more on this in the forecast in just a few minutes. vianey, how is it looking? >> i haven't had to uds my car heater for a while. but it looks like i will this week. it's already very busy on the san mateo bridge. i haven't seen anything pop up on the chp traffic reports. it could be overnight slowing. overall, the bay area looks good on a wide scope. earlier we did have some slowing, but it looks like that has cleared out along 101 in palo alto. i did see this pop up on 280, so i will check out and see what that's about. also a bit of slowing along 82 in both directions. overnight construction looks like it's starting to clear up, along the bay bridge, 7 minutes

morning were shocked when they came upon the crime scene. >> and i saw the body of a dead man. >> reporter: the elderly man's cane still at the edge of the crosswalk. this man says it pained him to think about how fast the car must have been going. >> it was three car lengths down there and there was some blood and parts of a car around here. >> reporter: oakland pd says the driver was in a white or tan mini cooper but said they're unable to give more details or share video or images. one thing we wanted to discuss is constant speeding through the intersection and sometimes running red lights. neighbors told us it's a chronic issue. we talked to another neighbor who said she is always concerned when she's walking her dog out here because cars do go so fast. she said she has to keep her head on a swivel at all times. >> especially at night there's always people almost getting

hit, especially dog walkers. >> reporter: shannon taylor worries for herself and her dog, after so many close calls it may have been just a matter of time before something this tragic eventually happened. >> it's scary. i've never seen an accident but i've definitely seen people really blow through these lights. >> reporter: opd is asking anyone with information to share it with the department's traffic investigation unit. thom jensen, "today in the bay." we have another follow-up out of oakland, a story we covered all morning long on "today in the bay," the historic fame church now faces a full rebuild following the devastating early morning fire that happened. the first african methodist episcopal church is the coldest in the east bay and was established in 1858 and moved to its current location in 1954. investigators still have not determined the cause, but at this time they are not calling it suspicious. the pastor tells us the church must rebuild for oakland.

>> it's not about me or our members, it's really about the community. fame is a family church, a community church, and we're just so grateful that people have come from all over showing love, spreading love, and asking how they can help. >> the church has already started a gofundme account to raise money for new construction. you can find a link on our website, nbcbayarea.com. in oakland there's mounting pressure as more supporters call for the reinstatement of fired oakland police chief leronne armstrong. the city's naacp leaders held a rally yesterday at city hall. mayor sheng thao fired him ten days ago after an independent report concluded that the department did not accurately oversee officers' misconduct. armstrong supporters maintain he was unjustly fired. >> the chief was clearly ambushed and sabotaged by elements both in the police department and in this building.

confusion. >> so there are four groups of people. there are people with private insurance, people on medicare, people on medical and people with no insurance. >> reporter: if you fall in the no insurance group, moving forward you may fall between the cracks when it comes to getting free or low cost care, covid testing and vaccinations. >> depending on where you live. in many parts of the bay area and california there are safety nets but that's variable. >> reporter: ending the state of emergency means mass vaccination and testing clinics will no longer be operating and insurance companies won't have to fully cover vaccines and therapeutics after november 11th, this while hospitals are still seeing covid patients. >> there are still sick people, i'm still taking care of people with covid disease in the hospital. our numbers haven't really changed too much in the last few weeks. it's just that it seems that a lot of people have mild disease.

good morning. it is 4:47 and i've been keeping a close eye on the roads. this is what the bay bridge toll plaza looks like right now. smooth commute. typically the metering lights come on at about 5:25. overall, the bay area looks pretty good. green on the traffic map. chp is reporting a slight delay near the altamont pass on 580 from an earlier crash. it looks like the crash has cleared so we should see that start to recover nicely. we had an earlier crash reported along the 280/92 interchange.

that has cleared out so we should see a recovery. south bay drive times, we've got northbound 101 from highway 85, you're looking at about 18 minutes. let's get a check of your weather. >> cool in some spots, not as cold as we've seen recently. and we are right now seeing some mornings in the mid-40s for much of the bay area. it's going to be about 10 degrees cooler today so you're probably going to be keeping the jacket on and holding on to it because it's also going to be very windy today. temperatures head for the upper 50s in mountain view and hayward, 59 degrees there. 59 in novato, as well as santa rosa. and then for tomorrow we're only in the low 50s, hitting 50 degrees for a high temperature in san jose, as well for much of the east bay, even chillier going into thursday. so we're going to see some big changes, too. and we are going to have this wind advisory going in effect at 1:00 today, through 1:00

tomorrow afternoon. take a look at our hour-by-hour wind forecast. we really start to see winds picking up for the coastline at about 11:00 this morning, and it just gets even stronger for today. so if you do have a little bit of time before you head out, make sure everything around the home is secure and ready for the potential of damaging winds, especially near the coastline and also in the hills. and we're going to see that continue into tomorrow as well. you may also want to prepare for the potential of power outages, too. we're seeing the system dropping in much colder temperatures, and also a little bit of moisture. but it does look like we'll start to see more widespread rain across the bay area on thursday, and because of the cold temperatures we're also going to see some snow on elevations above about 1,500 feet. as we go toward the weekend, we are going to to see off and on showers and we're going to see one system after the next, as wes see an overall change in our weather pattern. as we go into the next seven

days there's a possibility that we could measure 2 to 3 inches of rainfall, so this is going to be fairly significant, even after the break in all the wet weather. we're still going to see some big impacts. and look at the sierra snowfall, between now and the end of next week we could see close to 100 inches of snowfall, and we know that we're still well over our normal sierra snowpack. we'll see off and on showers in the forecast. high temperatures, such a big change. we are not done with winter just yet. we're going to see that continue through the middle of next week, as well as temperatures that are going to be cool, winds that will be gusty, and big impacts as we go day after day with all of this off and on rain and cool temperatures. let's turn to our climate in crisis. scientists are finding that snow in some parts of the sierra is melting faster than ever and warmer temperatures are not the cause. in a study by the desert research institute in reno,

scientists analyzed data from past seasons, and we had the caldor fire in south lake tahoe. they found that mid winter dry spells, burn scars had significantly higher snow melt. >> during these dry periods in the middle of winter, we found that you can lose through melt close to half of the snowpack, if not more in some of the lower elevation places. in places higher in the mountains where we don't expect a big change to take place, even if it's dry, after the fire has passed through that caused snow to melt much faster in those higher elevation areas. >> the impacts of wildfire on snow melt include more sun exposure and a reduction in the snow's ability to reflect sunlight, and in the winter, immediately following a fire, snow is dusted with black carbon

from burnt vegetation, which can accelerate snow melt rates. scientists say while extreme weather may be our new normal, we have the ability to adapt, manage and mitigate the impacts. >> how do we deal with fire is through the addition of more fire. we need good fire, low severity, prescribed fire or cultural fires to restore balance into the systems that have had good fire taken away for hundreds of years at this point. >> for more on this study and our climate in crisis, visit our website, nbcbayarea.com. >> thank you. happening today, a student from uc berkeley will get the spotlight for creating an organization to empower women in business. rachel holmes is the founder and director of black girls mean business. holmes created the business in her sophomore year of high school. the goal of the free program is to help mentor and educate young

black girls who want a career in business. she'll be on the "kelly clarkson show." >> i did realize that there was a lack of representation of black women in executive business positions and the lack of black women as fortune 500 ceos was something that really stood out to me as a black woman trying to pursue my own career in business. i wanted to do something about that. i wanted to be the change. >> that will be on the "kelly clarkson show" today at 3:00. ahead on "today in the bay," the bill lawmakers are pushing forward and the way it aims to save you money. >> happening now, two danville intersections are set for makeovers. starting today, the town will convert left turn signals at two intersections along diablo road to include flashing yellow turn arrows. you're looking at video from the
