>> that song just makes you feel. i love that song. >> that's really cute. fun stuff. right now at 6:00, more wet weather and possible snow moving into parts of the bay area. we are under a microclimate weather alert. kari is tracking conditions in your neighborhood. >> a boy scout troop is in mourning this morning after their excursion turned tragic. one mother killed by a falling tree on a hike. new details emerging from park rangers. this is "today in the bay," streaming live on roku, amazon fire, and online. thanks for joining us on this monday morning. i'm kris sanchez. marcus washington has the morning off. >> i'm laura garcia. before we get a look at weather and traffic, let's take a live look outside. we're in the santa cruz mountains off of highway 17 where showers may move through. look at those ominous clouds. kari, gear us up. how will today compare to maybe last weekend's weather? we saw some hail. >> it's going to be about the

same, maybe hail in different areas. we're under a winter weather advisory for some mountains in the north bay. the snow may add up to about 2 to 4 inches over the next few hours. and then looking at the waves of rain moving through the north bay but now also starting to approach san francisco and the peninsula, it's going to be off and on today. but mainly hitting this morning. so as we get a closer look we can see that even though it was raining in santa rosa, there may be more showers returning soon, it's really moving into much of napa county and starting to approach solano county. you're starting to see sprinkles. expect the roads to get wet in the next couple of hours. also a couple of spotty showers along 680 near the san ramon area and we'll see rain coming into the peninsula, hitting san francisco within the next few minutes. it's going to be off and on and, yes, we're still watching out for the possibility of thunderstorms, small hail embedded in some of these

heavier downpours and it's going to be moving into the south bay, as well as the east bay and tri-valley by late morning. but there will be some breaks this afternoon for getting out for whatever you have to do. mike, you're seeing a calmer commute. >> things are calmed down at the bay bridge. it's just sprinkles, but that was enough for an earlier backup. a bigger backup than you might expect at this time. you usually don't see this much backup until another ten minutes on a monday. the approaches are still moving well. we do have wet roadways through the north bay. we've seen some of the rain come through the area. down through hayward and oakland and at the bay bridge itself. we've got this crash still causing an issue for vasco road, slowing you down, affecting folks toward 580. travel time still over a half hour, which is about the right timing but a different distribution today. back to you. >> thank you. and even when we're not on the air, our coverage on this

microclimate weather alert continues online. you can watch live radar with our free nbc bay area news app. a south bay hiking trail remains closed after a mother died yesterday in a freak accident. it happened as a tree fell while a boy scout troop was on a hike in cupertino's rancho san antonio park yesterday morning. scout leaders say it trapped the parent of one troop member. authorities not yet releasing her identity. no one else was injured. the news came as a shock to other hikers. >> what a shame. the likelihood of that happening is very small. >> the weather was never as bad as it's been just lately, so i think probably the trees are more likely to break off after all the bad storms we've had. >> the park district's chief ranger says the incident is still under investigation, but rangers say they have seen higher numbers of trees toppling because of all the saturated soil and they're warning anyone

headed out for hikes to be cautious. students at one santa rosa high school return to class this morning for the first time since a deadly stabbing during a confrontation on campus last week. it happened last wednesday at montgomery high school. it started as a dispute involving three boys, two of whom followed a freshman into an art class. that's where the freshman allegedly pulled a nice and stabbed the other two. jayden pienta died from his injuries. the school will have more security on hand today but there's also a talk about a student walkout. "today in the bay's" pete suratos will have the full story in our next half hour. >> only on nbc bay area, a witness is speaking out about a weekend shooting outside a south bay golfing venue. this happened saturday night in the top golf parking lot in san jose. witnesses say a woman there was shot in the leg, though police are only saying that the victim is expected to recover. preston hart says he was in the parking lot when he heard a loud

bang near the venue's front door. >> i thought it was a firecracker and i looked and she was grabbing her leg and limping a lot and i saw everybody running inside, so i decided to run inside with them, too. >> police have not made an arrest but the witness believes the shooter and victim looked like they knew each other. a north bay tae kwon do instructor is in custody accused of criminal sexual activity with a 10-year-old girl. investigators say the incident happened in sausalito last week at a city-owned facility. the suspect is identified as a 35-year-old josh ya boyes. police say that he admitted guilt after officers arrested him yesterday, and now investigators fear there may be other victims. they're asking for families to speak with their children and come forward. decision 2024 is still more than 18 months away, but certainly already heating up. some presidential candidates are

making an early push. president biden visited alabama yesterday. at the same time, former president trump laid out his conservative agenda, while florida governor ron desantis and former u.n. ambassador nikki haley were on the campaign hail. drew petrimoulx is here with us. the contenders are not waiting around at all. >> reporter: this is a dynamic we will likely see play out over the next year and a half. president biden using the bully pulpit to appear presidential while there's a war to challenge him. >> there is a time of choosing and we need everybody engaged. >> reporter: sounding like a candidate once again, president biden speaking in selma, alabama, to commemorate brave men and women who fought for civil rights. >> on this bridge blood was given to help redeem the soul of america. >> reporter: the race to unseat

him heating up. >> that's why i'm standing before you, because we are going to finish what we started. >> reporter: former president donald trump speaking to conservative activists outside of washington, d.c. as he fights to maintain his grip on the republican party. but opposition to trump within the gop pushing for another option. >> my heart was telling me to run, my head was telling me no, that this does not make sense. >> reporter: former maryland governor larry hogan opting out, hoping the party can coalesce around someone other than trump. florida governor ron desantis has not yet stepped into the race, but this week he heads to iowa, the first state to vote in the republican primary. >> i'll bring the same strength to the white house that i brought to the united nations. >> reporter: former south carolina governor nikki haley is in the race saying over the weekend that it's time for republicans to pick a new generation of leaders. meanwhile, president biden getting his first competitor. >> i have run for president

before. i am not nye naive. >> reporter: becoming the first democrat to formally enter the race. now, in addition to desantis, hickey haley and new hampshire governor chris sununu also planning to be in iowa this week. back to you. >> off to the races already, drew. thank you. it is 6:08 right now. let's take a live look outside peeking over the bay bridge. it looks different since the light installation is dark. beautiful weather out there. beautiful right now. it looks good for many spots as you'retieady to head out. this is a look at oakland where it's mostly cloudy. there's a winter weather advisory for the north bay mountains and hills and also showers continuing off and on. there may also be some hail and thunderstorms, kind of like what

we saw yesterday in a few spots. later this week we'll be turning our attention to warmer weather, rain and wind. let's get a look at stormranger. showers are moving through the north bay, snow farther to the north and we're seeing rain move back into san francisco, the peninsula as well. as it moves toward napa county, moving toward fairfield, solano county, we're going to see wetter roads for your commute in the next hour or so. once again, for san francisco, moving down the peninsula toward san mateo, as well as redwood city, the rain is right back in those areas as you get ready to step out the door. we will see the rain off and on, it is all clear right now in san jose, but i would give it until about 9:00 when the rain starts to move in here. we'll see it getting heavier for the next couple of hours before it clears out again for the afternoon. you do want to be prepared for just about anything and we'll go hour-by-hour with our forecast again in a few minutes. mike has a look at where you can find some lower gas prices. >> lower, exactly.

not cheap, but that is what we call it, because it's the best i can find. $4.25 is the best in contra costa county, the arco on monument boulevard. $4.09 is the best in the south bay, as santa clara county, the city, in fact, diamond gas and market. in mill valley, another arco on redwood highway at $4.07. that's the best in solano, sonoma and marin county combined. we're looking at the roadways where we're mostly at the speed limit, but rain is coming through parts of the peninsula and we'll have wetter roadways and that will slow folks down a bit. this is not the cause of slowing for vasco road. that's because of an earlier crash and what was reported as a car fire. the southbound side still has lanes blocked for the most part, really slow for the first half of vasco road, then clear in the

area where we normally see speeds dip. highway 4, 37 and the bay bridge, the bay bridge metering lights are on. a rare and stunning sight off the california coast where an endangered whale was spotted over the weekend. >> plus, it is girl scout season, but we're taking away from the fun. the reason you'll be struggling to get your hands on one brand new cookie and where you can still get it for a

good monday morning. it's 6:13, as you head out in the north bay, we're checking out vacaville, 40 degrees with a light westerly wind. rain is quickly closing in. we'll see off and on rain throughout the morning, but we should have a break this afternoon. we'll see where we have breaks and when in our microclimate forecast coming up. we're looking at highway 101 in palo alto on the peninsula. we've had express lanes through much of palo alto for quite some time, but on friday they added the express lanes. you want the fas trak flex. you don't want a fine if you get caught in those lanes. if you need an explanation, i've got a segment we covered on friday on my facebook page. 6:14 right now. wall street is set to open slightly higher as investors face a week filled with economic data and comments from the federal reserve. the markets are coming off a

positive week with the dow snapping a four-week losing streak. fed chair jay powell will be on capitol hill tomorrow and wednesday to testify about the economy, inflation and interest rates. republican senator josh hawley is expected to introduce a bill today banning senior officials in the executive branch from owning or trading stocks. the measure is the latest fallout from a series in the "wall street journal" that revealed a pattern of financial conflicts across the federal government. it found more than 2,600 officials invested in companies overseen or regulated by their agencies. efforts to pass a stop trading ban for the executive branch and congress gained some momentum last fall before stalling out. amazon is closing all of the cashier-less go convenience stores as part of an effort to cut cost. they say the stores on embarcadero center, california street, post street, market

street, will all shut down on april 1st. that is in addition to two stores in new york city and two in seattle. the company says it will work to find new positions for the affected workers. amazon go stores debuted in 2018 without cashiers and check out lines, as customers paid automatically through the amazon app. the pandemic and a lagging economy in the city dampened amazon's brick and mortar plans. new this morning, a rare whale sighting in monterey bay. the critically endangered north pacific right whale was spotted yesterday morning. they were able to identify it by its raised patches of rough skin, a v-shaped blow hole and unique fins. likely fewer than 500 north pacific right whales are left in the world. nice to see from all those

angles. girl scout cookie fans are rallying around a brand new flavor. >> it's called raspberry rally. it premiered in august as the first in girl scout cookie history to be sold online but quickly sold out. it turns out you can get your hands on some if you're willing to pay up. boxes are hitting the ebay auction block for up to $100 a box. this morning we saw a dozen boxes for $190, about $15 each. >> if that money was going to charity or to the girl scouts, that would be fine. this is somebody just making money. entrepreneurial, got the spirit, and the cookies. >> i just want to try one. >> that's only like 60 bucks. >> that's how it starts. you have one thin mint and then want the whole box. >> i don't like the thin mints.

i think i'm the only person in america. >> i'll eat them. >> in the shamrock shake. >> i want to try the one at arby's. >> we have the meats. >> and the andes mints. >> i didn't know they had that. >> no shakes today, right? that's off the table today. you're going to want cocoa. it's definitely a blizzard out there. [ laughter ] >> winter weather across the bay area and the sierra, we're seeing snow coming down farther to the north in lake and mendocino counties. also moving into northern sonoma county. in santa rosa, there was a brief break from the rain. it won't be lasting long, as we get a closer look at rain moving through marin county down through san francisco, as well as san mateo and into redwood city. it's continuing to move closer

to palo alto with light showers. if you're about to go out the door, be ready for the rain and the need for windshield wipers. in the north bay it's been adding up for hours at this point, but as we move toward the east bay there hasn't been much rain yet. it's going to continue to move in. as we get a look at palo alto, temperatures only 39 degrees and we'll see the rain off and on through about 11:00, and then we'll see a little bit more sunshine for the afternoon. so as we're timing out the rain, for the north bay it's getting ready to ease up for you at about 8:00 to 9:00, and then it's moving into san francisco and the peninsula for a couple of hours, as well as oakland into contra costa county, and then at 9:30 it's approaching the tri-valley, moving through palo alto, and we're going to see it moving into san jose. and then as we go up in elevation, some rain changing over to snow. mount hamilton getting another coating of snow.

going into the rest of today, it looks like between 2:00 and 3:00 much of us are seeing sunshine, but in the north bay that rain is coming back, so at any point today we could see the spotty showers passing by, and also the chance of thunderstorms. now, much of tomorrow looks dry, all the way up into the evening. between now and tomorrow we're looking at maybe another quarter inch of rain, as high as a half an inch of rain in spots like oakland. and then for if sierra we still have another good coating of snow between now and wednesday, so those travel windows are so small, it's really difficult to get there. snow is piled up so high. i don't think over the next few days or this week it's going to be a good time to go because the snow pretty much continues there. waves of rain for the bay area and then on thursday we're going to be preparing for a bigger storm system set to move in with warmer temperatures, and that may raise snow levels. that means that we could see for a lot of the sierra rain on top

of the snow. that's going to raise our concern of flooding in the central valley, as well as heavy rain moving into the bay area with an already saturated ground. concerns going up, those flags, for preparation and what to do over the next few days. keep checking in as we go throughout the week. temperatures are going from low 50s for the start of the week to low 60s in time for the weekend. mike, you have a look at the richmond bridge? >> i was following this camera because i think i do see the remnants of a few drops, a little bit of prisming going on. as the volume is starting to build, we see a sprinkle on the bridge. kari talked about the rain coming from the north bay and possibly touching down in parts of the east bay section, which would be one of the first to touch ground. we see the green highlighting here, no blue, puddling and ponding, but wet roadways throughout the north bay and parts of the peninsula, toward the east bay. we're still looking at vasco

road. now we have a better drive time, maybe they've cleared the crash. i'm still waiting for chp's confirmation. back to you. >> thank you. it is 6:21. coming up next, nbc bay area responds. >> resort fees are all over the map. we think there are some tricks to help you avoid paying them. i'm

hard to believe that spring break is right around the corner. if you're planning a hotel stay, prepare for those resort fees. >> yeah, chris chmura wants to help you avoid them, even if you've already booked. here is how. >> first, a rant, please. resort fees are totally completely undeniably out of control. okay, now that we've established how inhospitable i feel resort fees are, let's look at five ways you can try to beat them. the first trick is to check your rate. if you already have a reservation, you're not necessarily locked into a rate with a resort fee. many total reservations can be revised right up until the week you arrive. second, comparison shop for package deals. third, see if your company has a negotiated hotel rate. many employers, especially the big ones, broker deals with the hotel chains. part of that negotiation is nixing resort fees and sometimes you can use your corporate late

for leisure travel. fourth, see if your loyalty pays. at least one chain waves fees for top members. hyatt. getting the status requires staying 60 nights a year. that's not for everyone. tip number five is seef using points instead of cash to pay for your stay makes sense. i've done this several times. an example, i researched a hotel in honolulu. a five-night stay in a king room in july. the room rate, resort fee and taxes total $3,324. but if you book this same exact stay using points and you buy all those points, it will cost you $2,800. total savings, $524. and there's no resort fee. coming up next, the top stories we're following for you today, including the return of snow in parts of the bay area. meteorologist kari hall is tracking your best chance to spot it.

>> reporter: students in the north bay are returning to school following a deadly stabbing incident. i'll have the details on their call to action coming up. >> and a live look at the bay bridge, now without the long-time lighting display that used to decorate the span. it may be shut off forever. it may be shut off forever. coming up, what - life is uncertain.

at a north bay high school. now students are promising to walk out on their first day back in the classrooms. we're live this morning at the school with new calls for change and the planned response from police on campus today. >> plus, shutoff forever? a decades-long nighttime lighting display on the bay bridge is no longer shimmering. the investment needed to give it new life. this is "today in the bay," streaming live on roku, amazon fire, and online. ?ñ 6:30 on your monday morni. thanks for starting your day with us. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm kris sanchez. marcus washington has the morning off. let's take you outside to san jose where the sun is starting to rise over the hillside. beautiful start of the day if you're inside looking out. >> and it really depends on where you are. in one spot it's nice, sunny, clear. you're, like, what rain? then in other areas it's pouring do wait, that's what it looks like in san jose? so we a winter weather advisory

in effect in the north bay until 10:00. it is pouring in san francisco, as well as the north bay, all the way down in peninsula, as we've seen some of the rain really starting to fill in here on stormranger. farther to the north it's snowing for northern sonoma county and clear lake as well as in some of those higher elevations above 1,500 feet. then the peninsula, san mateo, getting in on some heavy waves of rain, it's closing in on palo alto within the next few minutes. and then it's just going to be off and on for us as we go into the rest of today as this new round of wet weather moves in for our morning commute. as we head toward 9:00 to 10:00, it's sweeping through the south bay, snow on mount hamilton, as well as light showers toward the tri-valley. much of the bay area gets a break for a while this afternoon. we thought we would show you this on the radar and now the live camera, the slicker

conditions, really changed over the last 20 minutes here in san rafael, and that will be heading south with taillights. they're well spaced, good drive, no problems. in the north bay, 101 shows no slowing. highway 30, the bay bridge and the east bay shoreway shows flooding. oakland, 580, 880 getting some wet roadways. no major problems. still slowing on vasco road, but it looks like the crash may have moved to the shoulder, back to you. >> thank you. 6:32 right now. developing, students at one north bay high school are returning to the classroom for the first time since a deadly stabbing on campus last week. >> "today in the bay"'s pete suratos is live to tell us how students plan to address the incident. good morning, pete. >> reporter: good morning. according to a facebook post we know students here at montgomery high are scheduling the walkout a bit later this morning. we'll see how that shakes out

later when that happens around 11:00 a.m. this is happening as we're getting new details on what led to the stabbing incident last week. per investigators, they're saying this started with an argument between three students, two juniors and a freshman. two juniors following the freshman into an art class and the freshman stabbed them. jayden pienta was a stabbing victim and did die from injuries. the school has been closed ever since, the better part of a week. but students in the district held a walkout regarding the stabbing incident last friday. >> we need change. we need change. we can't have students dying at school because of violence like this. it's incomprehensible how us, the students feel, but how parents might feel as well. >> very distraught. it's a terrible thing. the fact that we have to worry about this in our school systems and that our administration isn't doing anything about it is worrying. >> reporter: as far as extra

security goes, we're being told that three officers are expected to be stationed here on campus and the walkout, as i mentioned, will take place at 11:15. live, pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> thanks, pete. happening today, the south bay mom accused of hosting alcohol-fueled parties for minors is due in court. shannon o'connor is being held without bail. she pled not guilty to dozens of charges, including child endangerment, providing alcohol to minors and sexual battery. investigators say she hosted the parties at her former home in los gatos for her children and their friends. authorities later arrested her in idaho. also today, the man accused of firing blanks inside a san francisco synagogue, terrifying whr shippers, the due to court. surveillance video captured the isn't february 1st. dmitri mishin is facing felony charges, including making

threats, obstructing the exercise of religion. last month he pleaded not guilty. in stockton today, the suspected serial killer prosecutors say is behind seven murders, including two in oakland, will appear in court. authorities arrested wesley brownlee last fall. he has not entered a plea. let's take a live look at the bay bridge this morning, where it was lights out for your morning commute. the aging decorative lights were turned off last night and they're likely going to be out for quite some time. the lights were only expected to last a few years, but then they lasted a decade. ben davis first brought the light display to the bay in 2013, and he is now leading an effort to raise $11 million to pay for a new illuminated creation with twice as many l.e.d. bulbs. >> they'll be on both sides of the cable, which makes the artwork available to communities all around the bay as a matter of equity.

>> until the money is raised and the new lights are installed, the bay bridge will be dark with the exception of the traffic lights lining the roadway. organizers have raised more than $6 millionowarthe $11 million goal so far. 6:35 right now. do you want to get away or snowed in? a live look at palisades tahoe ski resort. they've been seeing hardly any let-up in the latest major snowstorm to hit that area. the weather definitely impacting operations over the past few days. a lot of people wer shut off from the slopes yesterday in ta low because the ski resorts had to close. for one guy, he just improvised. this is actually in a retail store parking lot in truckee. there is so much snow there. >> everywhere. >> no need for the resorts, no need for snow pants. he's got his shorts on and he's got his own little slope. >> that is cold up there. >> oh, yeah, it's been in the

teens and single digits. yeah, no. >> we'll definitely be skiing into the summer. >> we've had snow piled up so high and we're still going to have more on the way. another 10 to 30 inches over the next couple of days. here in the bay area we're seeing more waves of rain and then snow for some of our upper elevations in the north bay. but we're going to see this rain off and on as we go through the next couple of hours. we have such a beautiful sunrise. i always love to see the sunrise pictures or whatever weather is happening in your part of the bay area. so if you can, tag me. i'm at kari hall weather. we're taking a look at our pink sky reflecting on the lake in oakland. we're going to see rain coming in soon, off and on showers between now and 9:00. but we should get more clearing, but our temperatures do stay chilly as the rain continues to make its way across the bay area for late morning into the early afternoon. there will be a break for most of us around 2:00, even some sunshine for the peninsula and

south bay. but still those off and on showers moving through the north bay and that may impact your evening commute in some areas, as you can see some brief heavy rainfall. so once again, changing every few minutes here. if you have the nbc bay area app, you'll be able to get alerts as the rain moves in. mike, you're tracking the slick roads and some additional slowing. >> exactly where you're talking about, kari. the north bay has seen some slowing for highway 37, additional slowing coming toward 121 as the rain pushes over this direction as well, pushing toward richmond, where we see gradual slowing in the westbound commute across the upper deck span. the bay bridge has wet roadways and we had metering lights turned on earlier. we have slowing through berkeley and out of richmond. highway 4 shows the build. i'm sure that's going to meet with rain around the walnut creek interchange. we'll watch for my additional slowing. we had a lot of early slowing for vasco. even though it's still on the grid for the area, the slower

drive approaching the crash scene about five miles south cleared, and we're back to basically the speed limit. the slowing is toward dolphin getting toward i-58 at the altamont pass. we have slowing on 680 and we'll see that for much of the morning. that's become a focus as we had the lane shift, the equipment in the center of the roadway and that's continuing to cause more distraction and delay off the dublin interchange. in the south bay, the northbound route for 101 and 87 show slowing. remember, you need the fas trak flex transponders. >> got to get it. it is 6:39. there was a scary emergency landing as smoke filled the cabin of a plane. the freak accident that led to moments of terror for southwest passengers and the questions

they're still asking about an apparent safety measure breakdown. >> one bay area couple says they were abandoned at sea during their hawaiian honeymoon. the lawsuit they filed against the snorkeling company. >> plus -- >> one of the only markets i'm aware of that is actually negative since the beginning of the pandemic. >> making it in the bay may be getting a little easier for people looking to buy a home. we hear from one expert on what buyers and sellers need to know as prices in some places hit levels not seen in years. you're watching "tod in the baayy.

good monday morning. right now at 6:42, you can see the active weather that's moving through the bay area on stormranger. we have snow to the north, rain to the south. and at some point all of us will at least see some brief heavy downpours. we are going to continue to watch this as it tracks through the bay area and we'll take a look ahead to the rest of the workweek forecast in a few minutes. kari does talk about rain coming down the peninsula. parts of palo alto, the northern part might be getting hit with a little bit of rain. by university, the southbound lanes will be hit with sunshine in your windshield there. it will be a factor for your drive. we're tracking the rain, the slicker roadways. and remember the fas trak flexes if you're going to use the express lanes through san mateo county. 6:43 right now. new this morning, terrifying moments for passengers on a flight out of cuba to fort

lauderdale. video from inside the plane shows the cabin filling up with smoke after the airline says a plane struck a large bird and the engine exploded. some passengers say oxygen masks did not properly deploy, which the video seems to support. they had to bang on units in a panic. the plane did safely return to havana and passengers evacuated via the emergency slides. there were no reports of injuries. southwest is now reviewing what happened, but so far it's not providing any answers. also new this morning, one east bay couple says their hawaiian honeymoon turned into a nightmare after they were stranded in the water. they were on a snorkeling crew and they were abandoned. after being in the ocean waters for more than an hour they were forced to swim to shore. they feared they might drown and added they were fatigued and dehydrated when they final got to dry land. the couple filed a federal

lawst last month. the snorkeling company has not yet responded to a request for a comment on the lawsuit. we are getting a closer look to how deep the coastal divide is among housing markets. according to parcel labs, real estate data, every state between california and texas are seeing negative year-over-year housing prices. two of the hardest city cities, and joining me is jason lewris. what do home buyers need to know? >> thank you for having me. what's happening with a regional divergence in the housing market. not all are moving the same. in the pacific region what we've seen since the peaks of 2022 is a 15% decline, which would put the pacific region into a housing correction territory. zooming in in that region, specifically on san francisco and san jose, we're seeing price declines since 2022 at all-time

highs of over 20%. >> how soon can we expect that to change and what is any improvement going to look like realistically? >> so typically the spring is a performing month for san jose, san francisco metro, san francisco city. so i think the key to look for will be what's occurring in the spring. we've already seen over the last few weeks an uptick in markets like san francisco city, san francisco metro, and san jose. so how much recovery will happen in the spring for the home prices in those areas will give us some evidence in regards to where those are going. one thing i will note about san francisco city in particular as of this morning is it is negative from the beginning of the pandemic. and san francisco city is down about 2.5% since the beginning of the pandemic. >> so perhaps an opportunity if you're ready. getting all the housing news in the bay area is pretty simple.

we have a newsletter called housing deconstructed. you can sign up and you will get the latest edition every week in your mailbox. that is nbcbayarea.com/newsletter. trending this morning, a special celebration here at "today in the bay." >> hey, hey, good morning. and happy birthday! look, sorry i can't be there with you this morning, but i just want you to know i love you and happy, happy birthday. i wish you everything that your heart desires because you surely deserve it. happy birthday, laura! >> oh, so sweet. >> happy birthday. >> he calls me his work wife. i call him my work husband. thank you, guys. so nice to be surrounded by family. we say family and friends, but it's like we are family. and the crew behind the scene are sneaking off. they brought a beautiful cake. thank you.

>> there are fewer of us in the newsroom. >> that's right. >> the brady bunch. >> i've got six stepdaughters and then the triplets. it's a lot of fun. you know what? i was telling the kids, i was blowing out my candles and i said for years and years i always wished to have a big family. then i finally got my wish. i don't know what to wish for now. >> sometimes you probably wish we were a small family. >> i wish for the lotto to help pay for things, honestly. anyway, thank you so much. >> you're welcome. i'm glad you got to be off, too, on your birthday. >> i did, and my husband's birthday was a couple of days before mine. >> party march. >> march madness. >> it is, always, at our house. thank you, that's nice. >> happy birthday. we're going to give you a little bit of sunshine today. i wanted to show you this picture that just came in from lake county. we have snow still falling there, and i got this picture on

twitter. they're saying no school, because of all the snow that's happening in lake county, and i love to see your weather pictures. tag me at kari hall weather on facebook, as well as twitter and on instagram. you can see what's happening around the bay area. it doesn't look the same. and we do still have the winter weather advisory farther to the north and this is mostly for elevations above 1,500 feet. that continues until 10:00. elsewhere, we're seeing the sun kind of sneaking through underneath the clouds. this is a live look in oakland. we are going to continue with that possibility of not only rain and snow, but also the potential of thunderstorms, which may produce small hail like we say yesterday. and then later this week we'll have warmer weather, rain and wind. we'll continue to follow that. now, looking at stormranger, we are seeing it lit up farther to the north with all the snow like the picture we saw in lake county. and then looking at waves of rain passing through in other areas. ahead of that you're still seeing sunshine.

this weather is going to be changing so quickly as we go into today. a quick wave of showers passing through the east bay and approaching the south bay by about 9:00. it's already clearing in san jose for the most part by 10:00, moving into morgan hill and gilroy before lunchtime and then some breaks with some sunshine for much of the afternoon. but we still will have a chance of more rain later this evening, as well as tonight. but not everyone is going to see it at the same time. and definitely not the same conditions. so we're looking at another possibly quarter inch of rain, or as high as a half an inch of rain, what the models are showing around oakland. and we'll see much more snow in the center. it's really hard to get there because the windows to get there and back are so small. we'll continue to see more active weather with another 10 to 28 inches of snow. that's just between now and wednesday. there's more ahead. but, unfortunately, we're going to start to see snow levels

coming up as we get a warmer storm coming in this weekend. and there's possibly going to be a tap into some subtropical moisture, which means this could be an atmospheric river coming in starting on friday. that enhances the amount of rainfall and it continues into the weekend, into early next week. so keep checking back in for updates. in the meantime, we have cold temperatures and some breaks here and there, but just slight rain chances tomorrow and wednesday. and then watching for the bigger storms set to arrive late thursday into friday. mike, you're seeing rain on the richmond camera. >> you said lake county has a snow day. my goodness. over here, yes, rain definitely pronounced on the richmond side of the bring, over toward the north bay, green highlighting and wet roads. southbound 101, enhanced for 37 because of the conditions. you'll want to lower speeds. we're looking at slowing for the san mateo bridge because the volume is building. it looks sunny but we have wet

is scheduled for 11:15 a.m. we're live in santa rosa, pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> thank you very much. we also saw a similar walkout last week, also. >> a north bay tae kwon do instructor is in custody accused of criminal sexual activity with a 10-year-old girl. investigators say the incident took place in sausalito at a city-ownedfacility. the suspect is identified as 35-year-old joshua boyes. they say t suspect admitted guilt after officers arrested him yesterday. investigators fear there may be more victims and are asking any other families to come forward. a south bay hiking trail remains closed after a mother died in a freak accident yesterday. it happened as the tree fell on a boy scout -- as a boy scout troop was hiking in that area of cupertino's rancho san antonio park. scout leaders say it trapped one of the parents of a troop

snow expected in the upper elevations. we're going to continue to see our weather changing minute-by-minute. if you have a nbc bay area app, you'll get alerts and we'll see much less rain over the next couple of days. we'll be watching out for possibly bigger storms in time for the weekend. >> we're looking toward the live camera. san mateo bridge, a lot of slowing westbound, the direction away from us toward foster city. a smooth drive but there is some rain that's hitting portions of that along the peninsula. you see how wet the roadway is across 92. it's not unusual for us to see that volume increase over the last few minutes and the bay bridge toll plaza as well, but a lot sunnier, we had rain on the lens and slicker roadways. right now it's sunshine hitting the windshield in this shot through palo alto but there may be rain farther north. >> the sun comes out and then
