good morning. it is saturday, march 25th. we are taking a live look at the city of san francisco. it is beautiful out there, but it is chilly in places. we're going to have your full forecast in a second. i'm chris chmura. thank you for joining us. cinthia pimentel is up first with a look at the forecast. 32 on the map somewhere, gilroy? >> yes, you are right. you saw that, took a little peek. in san francisco, we're seeing plenty of sunshine. no rain on the radar for this weekend. going to be spectacular once we do start to warm up from the chilly temperatures.

44 in the city. drive inland, into places like dublin and livermore, we're at 36 right now. as well as in los gatos and the santa cruz mountains. gilroy and san martin coming under the 30s, which is why the national weather service issued the frost advisory. not only for today and tomorrow with these temperatures running anywhere from two to five degrees cooler than what we were having on friday, but, of course, we need to protect the pets and plants. if you have lost power from the storms, make sure you're going to a warm place. we'll talk about what's ahead for the weekend and the next storm in the seven-day outlook coming up in a bit. >> thanks very much. breaking news overnight. at least 23 people are dead following tornadoes and storms in mississippi. unfortunately, that number is expected to go up. that video you're seeing right there is just in from our nbc affiliate in jackson, mississippi. among those killed, a father and his daughter. 13 people died in rolling fork, a small town in western

mississippi. dozens more people are injured. at least four people are missing. search and rescue operations are now under way. thousands of mississippi residents remain without power this morning. let's bring cinthia back in. this wasn't just one tornado. it was several that touched down, wasn't it? >> exactly. most of them happened in the evening/night hours, so it catches a lot of people off guard. another thing about places like mississippi, there are several mobile homes so the impacts from all of these storms, very tragic. i have satellite and radar on a loop right now, and you can just see all that green and yellow, that severe line of storms just pushing on through the east, dropping golf-ball sized hail in the overnight hours. and those very gusty winds. i was looking at the data from all of this. so far, it stretched about 80 to 100 miles. the severe threat continues today. definitely something that we'll keep an eye on, chris. >> cinthia, thank you very much.

family members are grieving this morning, and the community is asking for answers after a high-speed police chase ended with a deadly car crash. a 31-year-old mother died. her twin 6-year-old boys are still in the hospital. one of them is in critical condition. "today in the bay's" thom jensen says one police chief is taking a closer look at the case. >> reporter: the intersection where the deadly crash happened thursday evening is an unincorporated part of contra costa county in rodeo. a cousin of the woman killed visited the crash scene. >> played sports, healthy, took care of her kids. this didn't deserve to happen. >> reporter: what happened according to hercules police chief, one of his officers pulled in behind a stolen suv in hercules, and the driver accelerated immediately. there was a short pursuit, and the suv slammed into a nissan driven by the victim who had her two twin 6-year-old boys in the

backseat. >> look how long the street is. it's not even half a mile. >> reporter: francis placed flowers at the site of the crash today. she said it's a needless tragedy that she thinks would have been avoided if police did not chase after the driver. >> nobody thinks that chase is okay. they had no place to go, and they know that. the other thing is, they have no business to be in rodeo. >> they arrested 20-year-old whitevallejo, charged with manslaughter and the theft of a stolen vehicle. the police department is heartbroken. >> words can't describe what we are feeling. >> reporter: chief vasquez is reviewing the department's policies toward high-speed chases. >> i think in this situation here, everything was so fast and so fluid, there really wasn't time to determine that that pursuit needed to be canceled at

that point. >> reporter: thom jensen, "today in the bay." >> the hercules police chief says his officers tried to avoid leaving their jurisdiction, but sometimes that can't be avoided. in this case, he said the chase began in hercules but, quote, tragically ended in rodeo. police say a peninsula crime spree is over. a man is accused of breaking into homes at night and sexually assaulting women. redwood city police say 21-year-old christian broke into homes and, on two occasions, touched victims while they were sleeping. elizabeth molina lives in the neighborhood where this took place. she said what happened to the women is terrifying, and she'll see the suspect before. >> somebody come to me, i don't know what i can do. call the police or whatever, you know? >> you recognize him? >> yeah. i recognize him, yeah. >> when you saw him, would he be walking around the neighborhood, or did he live in the neighborhood?

>> well, i don't know that he's living in the neighborhood. i just seeing him out walk. >> he pleaded not guilty to all charges. yesterday, he is in the san mateo county jail. police are asking anyone with information to come forward. for weeks, it's been raining glass from san francisco high-rises, and we are now learning those newer buildings were never inspected. two weeks ago during one of those major storms, a window fell from the 43rd story of the old bank of america building. the wind also cracked another window. this week, more windows either broke, fell or failed in some way. that includes fox plaza, the salesforce east building, and the millennium tower downtown. our nbc bay area investigative unit uncovered these buildings were exempt from an initial inspection. workers finished salesforce east back in 2015. because it was so new, under city regulations, it didn't need to be inspected another 30

years. originally, city leaders wanted to focus on inspecting older buildings. after falling glass this week, these buildings must be checked out within the next two weeks. more trees are falling following this weekend's windstorm. sky ranger spotted this one which briefly trapped two people inside the home. a tree fell yesterday and smashed into a home on yolanda drive. fire crews used a ladder and chain saw to reach the pair who couldn't get out on their own. the base was completely rotted. meanwhile, disease and mosquitos are becoming a byproduct of this year's nonstop rain. health experts warn that's what normally comes after any major rainfall and flooding. "today in the bay's" stephanie mageone says there's concern in

the area. >> reporter: mosquitos are multiplying, taking advantage of the recent flooding. >> i'm concerned, yes. there's water by the freeway. >> reporter: in belmont, families can still see and smell the floodwaters that have been inundating them all year. >> there was damage in the insulation of the homes. >> reporter: these conditions and the standing water around the bay area are a concern for the san mateo pest control department, who says they've had more mosquito related requests than usual in the past few months. they wrote, they anticipate water will continue to stand in many locations into the warming months. they're acting now, regularly checking 40,000 sites throughout the county to prevent a large mosquito population and the viruses that come with them. the county is also working closely with communities prone to flooding by checking their crawl spaces, something they recommend all residents should do in case of standing water. alameda county already detected the first mosquito with the west

nile virus, an unusual case for this time of year. but there's even bigger concerns for the families and health experts. >> the floors started to buckle. from the bottom up. >> reporter: and disease. >> dirty water, it all comes to our area. the outside, you know, to keep it clean, all the disinfecting we have to do all the time. >> there are multiple places in the country where we've seen an increase in transmissible diseases like diarrheal diseases. again, skin diseases after flooding. >> reporter: this infectious disease expert says the contaminated waters can cause norovirus and salmonella. >> well-known health consequences after tremendous flooding, stress, as well. >> reporter: watch for mold, stay away from floodwater and

call pest control if you see more mosquitos than usual around your home, or5" standing water.

referred the case to the police chief after finding the officer used unnecessary and exsensitive -- excessive force and set a bad example for the rookie who no longer works for the department. >> we want to make sure the public is protected. when they are not, that there is accountability from the systems that are in place. >> reporter: paul henderson, head of the department of police accountability, told us he can't discuss specifics of this or any other case, but he welcomes the release of the video under the transparency law. >> i don't think we could be as effective without transparency laws. the result of that are records like this that objectively and independently, anyone like you're or the public, can log in to see. well, what actually happened? was there accountability? did something happen? >> buddy. >> reporter: what did happen to officer burk? documents show the chief found that burk used unnecessary force and ordered that he be suspended for three days, along with mandatory retraining. >> get up. >> reporter: but the incident

didn't stop burk from getting promoted to the rank of sergeant in late 2019. the department says while it cannot discuss this or any other personnel matter, it respects the watchdog agency's findings and has been making changes to use of force policies. jackson vander beckon, bay area news. a follow up from the east bay. family members are grieving and a community is asking for answers after a high-speed police chase ended with a death. this happened thursday night. the hercules police chief says one of his officers pulled in behind an suv reported stolen in hercules. the driver accelerated. there was a short pursuit, and the vehicle slammed into a nissan driven by a 31-year-old mother. she had her two twin 6-year-old pois in the backseat in rodeo. she died. the boys are still in the hospital. one is in critical condition. after a foot chase, police arrested a 20-year-old, ralph elsworth white iii.

possibly even on monday. we're seeing these areas in blue. the north bay valleys, over on the east bay valleys, parts of the santa cruz mountains and down into gilroy, morgan hill. we'll see the cold temperatures continue through the weekend, lowering as much as to the upper 20s, 30s to start off the day. make sure you're protecting your pets and plants. i know it is the mud break season for a lot of wineries, so make sure you're covering those precious plants. let's go to san rafael, the north bay. good morning to you. 43 out there right now. we'll see a lot of sunshine. something we haven't seen in a long time as we go into the afternoon. over on in livermore, good morning. another chilly spot there, 36 degrees. we'll still be in a little bit of those chilly temperatures by around 8:00, 9:00 this morning. then a little bit of a breeze as we take those temperatures in the afternoon to the mid 50s. enjoy the sunshine while it lasts because we are talking about another storm already coming in the pacific. it is going to drop down, i believe, late monday night, and

we'll see those winds start to pick up. we've been through this before. even though we have the sunshine this weekend, great opportunity for you to prepare, clear all those leaves. make sure your evacuation route is prepared and even a backup plan to that in case things get wild. rain estimates right now as this storm drops down for tuesday's commute, another perfect chance to stay home, avoid this mess. 2 inches in the southern marin area, of course into the parts of the northern california areas. down into the santa cruz mountains, as well, we'll see those rain chances. gusty winds at times. right now, early estimates of those, anywhere from 35 to 50 miles an hour at the coast and down through the santa cruz mountains. thunderstorms will also be possible with this low pressure system bringing us a lot of instability. that could even increase the rain a little further as the cells drop down some more rain. look at this. it clears up by the time we get into thursday, but we're looking ahead into april. yes, it is already going to be april in a couple of days. another possible chance of

showers as we go on into next weekend. let's take a look at how this plays out. of course, the north bay, we're talking about areas like santa rosa, the darker purple spots are from 2 to 3 inches plus. i believe san jose and even on into the trivalley, we could get a little rain shadowed by this. going to near an inch or two if we're lucky. sierra looking good if you have plans to head to tahoe. avoid it at all costs throughout the storm. we're looking at 2 to 4 feet of snow there. if you live or work in san francisco, you're dealing with those very gusty winds. almost nearing 60. be careful with your surroundings. >> thank you for that.

all right. there has been a little drama, maybe a lot, for the warriors this year. draymond green's punch the beginning of the season. steph curry's injury. wiggins leave. a big game at chase center last night. draymond green and his son d.j. spending some quality time.

76ers taking the lead near the end of the game, but the warriors came alive in the final five minutes. jordan poole was the clutch. steph curry slammed the door. the warriors beat the sixers, 120-112. the warriors host the timberwolves tomorrow night. it's not every day you get invited to the white house. our colleague, gia vang, was there yesterday. she visited with members of the organization she co-founders, the very asian foundation. it works to shine a light on asian experiences through add advocacy and education. women's history is our focus all month on nbc bay area. this morning, we want to shine the light on a retired colonel known not just for breaking barriers but also her heroics. kim campbell, from the bay area, rose to the top of a male-dominated field. in 2003, she was awarded the

distinguished flying cross. here's why. she successfully recovered her battle-damaged airplane after an intense, close air support mission in baghdad. this week marks the 20th anniversary of operation iraqi freedom. colonel campbell says it shaped her life and career. >> i think what i remember most and what i reflect on most is the men and women i serve with, my brothers and sisters that i serve with, and the hard times we went through, but also if camaraderie we shared together. >> a piece of that airplane is actually hanging in her office, but it will soon be on display at the smithsonian. she has this advice for young women. >> i think my advice to young women, which is probably the same advice i would give to young men about becoming a pilot or going after your dreams, is that you have to work hard. you have to put in the effort to achieve those dreams. >> campbell also details her heroic story in her new book. it's called "flying in the face of fear."

it's available right now at local bookstores and on amazon. we have much more ahead for you. a quick look at the top stories, including breaking news in mississippi. nearly two dozen people confirmed dead following tornadoeand storms.s
