why i decided to call the microclimate weather alert. some spots have seen half an inch of rain in the north bay and in the santa cruz mountains. san mateo bridge, a very fasty commute if you are planning to head that way during the next couple of minutes to an hour. we're seeing that widespread rain, pushing on through at this current time over the east bay. we'll give you a closer look neighborhood by neighborhood. antioch from clayton into brentwood this hour, as well as the peninsula down into palo alto, as well. here is the santa cruz mountains extending into gilroy and parts of the 5. coming up in my full forecast, we'll talk about the next atmospheric river on the way. >> cinthia, thanks. happening now, san francisco police are searching for this missing toddler. the 1-year-old hasn't been seen

since friday night. police believe he was taken by his biological mother who does not have custody. this is the mother, chelsea, last seen wearing all-white clothing on ashbury at hayes street. anyone who has seen this woman or the child or may know where they are is urged to call sfpd. a life-changing announcement for millions of californians that will likely save lives. the governor said the state is going to start making its own brand of insulin. not only that, it will cap the price and the state also is planning to make a generic version of the drug that reverses opioid overdoses. >> reporter: governor newsome saturday morning. >> this is a big deal, folks. this is not happening anywhere else in the united states. >> reporter: the state is partnering with a pharmaceutical company to make insulin

available to everyone in california for $30. >> so i was rationing insulin, i was gambing with my life. >> reporter: $30 is what he was paying to treat his diabetes. then he watched the prices climb 1200%. he's been a leading voice for lower insulin prices for almost a decade. >> anybody who uses insulin would benefit from this program. the only ones that don't are the pharmaceutical manufacturing executives and their shareholders. >> reporter: he said he could barely keep his head above water. >> what this does is a game changer. this fundamentally lowers the cost, period, full stop. >> reporter: the state is also changing the game in the fight against the fentanyl crisis. it's devoting $79 million for a

plan for california to manufacture maloxone and make it available over the counter. the state already provides the drug to schools. >> we had 120,000 known reversals last year in 2022. >> reporter: and that's a big help for first responders who have seen how well the drug works to reverse the effects of an overdose. >> the department uses it often. we have run several overdoses already today. >> reporter: making it more widely available to schools and others who can add minister the drug before first responders arrive could save lives. >> anything to give them a better chance at survival in that unfortunate circumstance, yeah, we support that. >> reporter: both drugs should be available to californians by early 2024. tom jensen, "today in the bay." three people were injured after segt off fireworks in san

francisco around 8:00 last night at ocean beach. u.s. park police say a group of about two dozen minors were around a bond fire when someone set off fireworks. three injured people were rushed to the hospital, two of them with serious injuries. park police are investigating. to the south, people are still waiting to return home after flood waters set you have evacuations. the storms caused massive flooding near watsonville. the water has receded a bit, but before people are allowed back in, cal fire specialists must survey the area. they are keeping an eye out for potential hazards and checking the stability of homes. county leaders are hoping most evacuees can return home in the next few days. >> the focus is not code violations, we just want people to return home safety and be equipped with the knowledge and resource toss clean up their

homes. in terms of health inspectors and dealing with violations, that's not the focus. the focus is safety and getting people home. >> so far teams have inspected nearly 500 homes. at least 30 have major damage. there is an official gofundme set up to help those farm workers. just go to nbcbayarea.com. we have a link on the flooding. the san jose sharks, as we told you yesterday morning, showed their support for the lbgtq community at their game last night, but not every player was a fan of the warmup jerseys. in honor of pride night, the sharks sported rainbow warmup jerseys, but the goalie didn't wear it citing religious reasons. he did not warm up with the team or start the game. he did stay in a statement he believes every person has value, including members of the lbgtq community.

he went on to say he believes everyone should be welcomed in the game of hockey. the naacp wants to see more details on san francisco's reparations plans. yesterday at the third baptist church, the naacp asked the city's reparation committee and supervisors for more action. the association supports reparations but wants to know specifics, including who qualifies. >> acknowledge that there was no formula, no rational, no mathematical calculation, that number was just thrown out there. that does not show things have been thought out. >> the reparations committee will submit a final plan in june. we have a live look for you now at the bay bridge. it's pretty foggy and rainy out there, but it remains quite an

attraction for people in the bay area. the lights display was turned off earlier this month. but some lights are refusing to stay off, though. we caught up -- >> reporter: it turns out after the official shutoff on march 5th, there were some strands that just didn't want to go dark. >> there's no power going to the system. >> reporter: more than a decade ago, ben davis got the idea for a public light display on the bay bridge. in 2013, it became a reality. ten years later, those lights were failing faster than they could repair. on march 5th, davis officially shut them off while fund-raising for a brighter, more durable version. >> the lights were supposed to go off, but they have a fierce spirit. >> reporter: one week later, he says a glitch turned the lights

back on. davis joined a crew back on the bridge thursday to physically remove the power, or so they thought. saturday, he walked with us to look at the bridge and -- >> this is really something people need to no, i see lights still on. >> reporter: he wasn't sure how it happened but found it poetic. >> i love the fact that it's not going quietly into the night. >> reporter: he's hoping the tenacity of the lights will inspire donations. his nonprofit is raising $11 million to create a new display that will run on both sides of the bridge and have double the number of bulbs. >> $11 million. i think in the long run with the city it will be worth it. >> reporter: so far illuminate has raised more than $6 million, more than 100,000 coming from crowd funding, a smaller donation. >> if we are going to put that towards art and design, it should be done here. people love this. >> reporter: so davis is getting to work, marveling at the lights

and selling the vision of an awe-inspiring bridge. it's almost 7:10. we have much more ahead. coming up, we go live to washingt, d.c. for ouron

we are back with this morning's preview of "meet the press." please join me in welcoming chuck todd, nbc news political director and moderator of "meet the press." hi, chuck. as always, thanks for joining us this morning. the biden administration continues its efforts to pressure china's owners to sell their share of tiktok, and if they don't, they're threatening to potentially ban the app here in the u.s. i would love to know what the political and economic reverberations of threatening the chinese and banning the most popular app in the world you think would be. >> well, it's interesting.

one of my colleagues, the nbc news white house correspondent, had some reporting about what tiktok's ceo plans to tell congress. he will testify before congress this week. he's going say the company here in the american market, he will talk about how they will showcase that people that make money on tiktok and make a case that it will impact folks economically. obviously, you have some folks that have made a political argument, particularly for democrats here since they rely on voters under the able of 30 and tiktok is their primary source of news for voters under the able of 30. so i think -- i understand the different concerns here. i think those arguments end up falling on deaf ears, number one. there are alternatives. you can go to youtube, instagram. i don't think as much as i get what tiktok is trying to do here. if they don't have a good

explanation why they won't divest. everything they are trying to do to appease american government officials short of divestment costs them more money. but for whatever reason, the chinese government will not allow the parent company of tiktok to sell tiktok to an outside entity. i have to tell you, that in itself is probably evidence as to why so many government officials are skeptical of tiktok's assurances. >> fascinating. i mean, i don't have tiktok as a millennial. i am capable of finding my news elsewhere. we will see if the influencers save tiktok after all. >> kira, if you're geriatrics, i don't know what i am. i guess i'm stuck in a wheelchair. >> we'll see you soon.

thanks, chuck. be sure to join chuck for this morning's "meet the press." coming up in about 30 minutes from now, we'll talk to political analyst larry gerston for our segment to take a look at former president trump's post on truth social yesterday when he said that he expects to be arrested as soon as this coming week, and how a potential indictment could impact his 2024 presidential campaign. in oakland, ousted police chief laron armstrong held a town hall about community safety and other concerns for the city. armstrong was fired last month by the mayor. despite that, armstrong says he remains committed to addressing violence in oakland.

armstrong says while he does not want his job back, he just wants to clear his name. >> i didn't do anything, and so i think that's what is most important. the department needs to move on, the city needs to move on. i think it's still important i restore my reputation. >> some are calling for him to be rehired. now to a followup on a story from yesterday morning with lights above the sky over the bay area on friday night. we are getting more answers on what that is from. you may have seen these lights, passing ththrough ourur skieies. the sight was seen above the cicities across n northern califofornia fromm the south bao the northth bay, even up in sacramamento. it wasas a comommunicationons m that wasas attached to the international space station in 2009. >> in 2020, after they were no

longer using it, they detached it and let it drift in orbit. eventualally that orbit decayed and it reentered the atmosphere over central california last night at about 9:35 or so. the hope was with reentry on the next orbit where it would be out over the pacific ocean. so most of the earth is covered by water, so when they do these, most of the time they enter over the ocean. but this one happened to come down a little bit earlier than was expected and came down o ov centraral californiaia. itit put on a great light show. > wow. he said i it is likely all or mt of the space junk burned up before touching ground. if you are looking to go outside today, we have some ideas what you can do. >> good morning. we have a reminder about the closure of north bound 683.

stage. >> here at home, at the shark tank, san jose celebrating pride night on the ice. great time by the great randy la hahn. sharks out to a 1-0 lead. after that, it was all new york. the islanders scored one in the first, two in the second and another goal in the third period. the isles win 4-1. sharks are back on the ice monday in edmonton. st. louis city, up two scores over san jose. this one hurts. they blank the quakes 3-nil. that's a look at your morning sports. it is 7:26 right now. thanks, anthony. much more ahead. coming up, more rain making its way across the bay area.

welcome back. we are under a microclimate weather alert. we have seen a lot of rain fush through in the last 12 hours or so.

you can track the rain right down to your street level. so i'm seeing this cell push through the bay bridge into berkeley right now, even down 880 into parts of hayward. going south, felton, santa cruz, those colors of yellow and orange are heavy rain rates and could bring us the chance of thunder. on the coast, good morning to you in bodega bay, petaluma. you get the point, we're seeing light rain this morning to wake us up in parts of the bay area. i see it continuing. by 10:30, you can follow along, with the gusty winds from 30 to 50 miles per hour, especially along the coast and on our higher peaks. be careful of that as you walk out the door and get hit with that rain and wind. lunchtime, hit or miss, the peninsula getting a break

perhaps, but continuing hit or miss activity through the rest of the evening here. the possibility of downed trees is a concern with this storm system, just because the soil is so saturated. i'm not going to rule out the possibility of power outages. so make sure your phones are checked at this hour. temperatures for today, not going to be what we saw yesterday. it was definitely a tropical feel to it as we got the rain system ready to line up for today. 62 in san jose. yesterday, we were at nearly 70 degrees. a dramatic change in 24 hours. the next 48 into 72 hours are definitely going to be a whirl wind as we track the next atmospheric river. this is a closer look at tuesday morning, maybe time to call the boss to see if we can stay home because the winds are going to get stronger. and the rain rates will increase from an inch locally to about one to three in the santa cruz mountains. if you notice the colors of pink on your screen, this model is

trying to bring snow into our higher peaks. as we get closer to it, it will get a better detail of that. we will keep you posted only "today in the bay." temperature wise, we are going to cool down dramatically for the next six to seven days. we'll see well below average. so even though the calendar says spring, as long as we keep getting the rain and that tremendous snow pack, i will be okay calling it winter. >> i just need to know what to what. it is 7:44. much more ahead. coming up, nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston is here to discuss the recent troubles of former president trump, and whether his

welcome back.

trending this morning, for some, it's the most wonderful time of the year. girl scout cookies are back. the girl scouts celebrated their 111th anniversary last week, but it is tomorrow that so many people are thinking about. and get this, there's a brand new flavor called raspberry rally, sold out and going for five times its list price on the resale market. troop leaders say this teaches the scouts valuable skills. >> we have over 4.1 million packages of cookies in markets, and over 12,000 girls eager to go out and sell. that's record breaking for us in northern california. so we're rally excited to bring those cookies out to our customers and support our cookie entrepreneurs and learning all those business skills. >> you can be on the lookout for cookies starting tomorrow. but to buy them right now, go to

the website and there is a digital marketplace to connect you. my neighbor has her own cookie website. as we told you yesterday morning, former president donald trump posted on his social media platform truth social that he expects to be arrested as early as tuesday by the manhattan district attorney. in anticipation of his arrest, trump has asked his followers to protest on his behalf. beginning with a rally in waco, texas, this coming friday. nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston is here. good morning. great to see you. if this is true, there is a big if -- >> sure. >> how unprecedented would this be? >> about as unprecedented as unprecedented can be, kira. no kidding. no former president has ever been arrested for anything, much less something like this. so no, this is something brand new. he's under investigation, not just for this, of course, but

several crimes. and in some sense, it seems like the walls may be closing in. >> if you can, remind us, you know, i'm not trying to make any commentary here. but there are various investigations surrounding trump. can you remind us of what's going on and the significance of that. >> absolutely. we begin with tuesday's indictment. that has to do with the investigation of stormy daniels receiving $130,000, remember the adult film star to keep quiet about their affair. that's the first thing that's happening. and from there, we go on to other ones. i think probably the second one has to do with the district attorney from fulton county, georgia. remember that story about how trump called the secretary of state brad raffensperger and said can you find me 11,780 votes. that is serious. and you've got two more.

these done by jack smith, the special counsel appointed by attorney general garland. what is that about? the first one has to do with all those files, those folders, some of them very serious, that trump refused to return, allegedly at least. and the second has to do with his possible role in the 2021 january 6th attack on congress. how much did he have to do with inciting damage there? you put it together, and you're talking about some serious stuff. >> yeah. and you know, trump has announced his candidacy, of course, for the 2024 republican presidential campaign. somewhat impact might all of these investigations have on his efforts? >> i think there are two variables here that we have to consider. the first is the timing of these indictments. will it be tuesday? are others coming sooner or later? the second has to do with trump's standing with fellow

republicans. you know what? over the last month, he's gained support, according to two very important national polls by quinnipiac. he's got 46% this time, 42% in february. desantis is falling back some, at least from february to march. this is very volatile. we don't know what is going to happen if charges come. but there is a lot going on ahead of us. let me tell you, strap on that safety belt. >> it will be interesting to see how it plays out. my understanding is he cannot be arrested until the indictment is filed. so where did he get this information? we know you will continue to follow it for us. larry, as always, thanks for your insight. it is 7:51 right now. up next, a quick look at the top stories, including rain falling across the bay area once again. our nbc bay area storm ranger scanning the skies and our
