breaking right now at 5:00, an overnight fire engulfs an east bay home with multiple people inside. new information from fire

fighters while you were sleeping, including word of hospitalizations. lights out in one peninsula neighborhood after a tree crashes on power lines. we have live team coverage with the latest on bay area cleanup after heavy rains, and we are tracking the arrival of the next storm. ♪♪ ♪ bang bang ♪ that will be catchy. two local hip-hop artists hope the niners do it for the bay area. the backstory of the latest faithful and getting fans pumped up for the super bowl. this is "today in the bay." you're already moving, marcus. >> for the bay. >> good friday morning. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. we're going to get a check of the commute because traffic will be slow this morning. but let's talk about that forecast. kari, some places you're going to see heavy rain, some places you won't. coming in, i got three different

types of cells. >> and it's changing every few minutes. so you're driving, it's barely dry and then it starts raining and then it pours and stops. that's the kind of conditions we'll see throughout the day as we're still getting a lot of this moisture coming in as we get a look at the radar this morning. so this is the kind of activity that will stick around for a while, and we're tracking it with stormranger that gives us the best amount of detail and exactly where it's raining and where it's not because it is changing every few minutes. we are seeing rain just north of morgan hill, on 101 the roads are very wet. there's still a lot of puddles left over. the peninsula, it is mostly dry for now but a next wave of rain is coming into the coastal areas and will be with us off and on throughout today. so once again, very soggy conditions and a bigger storm on the horizon. i'll be tracking that. mike, you were warning about those sloppy conditions. >> we were talking about what we

encountered coming in. for me, 101 traveling north, this is wet roadways. you see the water kicking up. i drove south into san jose and as i drove through the stretch long santa clara, things were really tough. the same area they were cleaning the sides of the roads, there's grooves in the roads with potholes and other roads, which pulled my car to either side. i had to slow down even though there was very light traffic because the conditions didn't allow me to go at the speed limit. that's the note around the bay, you may have to allow a little extra time. i would say slow it down even throw the drive is a clear flow of traffic on the freeways. >> thank you very much. first this morning, breaking news in contra costa county, with an overnight fire sent two people to the hospital. it started a little before midnight. flames quickly engulfing the home on pacheco road. firefighters say two other people inside the home made it

out safely. ginger conejero saab is at the scene and will join us with a live report in our next half hour, including new details about what may have kept the situation from being far worse. cleanup continues in some bay area neighborhoods following the latest storm. a massive tree falling onto power lines in los altos was picked up overnight. kris, there's concerns we could see more trees falling because the soil is so saturated. >> reporter: right, and the trees are becoming increasingly unstable. people are really trying to prepare for the next round of rain while they are still cleaning up from the last round. but the tree that came down in los altos was a massive tree, it took out power lines and damaged a fire hydrant and took out a bit of a water main. some folks had no water or power on camellia way. a reminder to have your emergency kit ready to go with flashlights and snacks. some people were, again, without power, and as we prepare for the

next round of really heavy rain, you'll want to look around at the trees around your home as well. >> because of the recent storms, the soil is at maximum field capacity, which means it is holding all the water it can possibly hold. so these new storms, the water has nowhere to go. >> reporter: so that can create danger for trees. you might want to take a look outside and look for any dead or falling branches, missing bark on your trees, roots that are near water because the water can kind of erode the soil. if you see fungus on the roots or cracked or raised soil around the root, that could be a sign that your tree is starting to tip. also cracks in the trunk can compromise the tree. pg&e tells me they are keeping a close eye on the trees, especially in the santa cruz mountains and peninsula based on their weather predictions. they warn that we could see rocks or landslides in super

saturated areas. and speaking of super saturated, this is what i had in my back yard yesterday afternoon around 3:41. we got a burst of really heavy rain and a lot of hail, and in just six minutes we went from that water draining away to completely flooded in the back yard. so i had a lot of cleanup duty yesterday, i had a lot of close contact with my trees. i will remind you to keep an eye on everything because you need to be prepared to fix things yourself, because all of the -- the arborists and roofers are really busy and you might be waiting a while. >> we've got more storms on the way so a lot of good things to keep in mind. thank you so much. well, president biden will be on hand for what is expected to be a solemn day in delaware, where the remains of three fallen service members will be received at dover air force base. all three dying earlier this week from a drone attack in

jordan. the president and first lady are expected to attend today's dignified transfer, which commonly involves a transfer of the remains to loved ones. the white house vowing to authorize what may be a lengthy military response, saying that iran-backed malitia groups are to blame. a potential major breakthrough in washington this morning as senate leaders appear to have reached a tentative deal on the long-awaited immigration reform, including funding for ukraine and israel. senate majority leader schumer says the full proposal will be unveiled no later than sunday. if it does cross the finish line, it would make a big victory for president biden, but gop hard-liners, including donald trump, are standing in the way. the bill still has a long road ahead, including passage in gop-led house of representatives. if everything goes as planned, schumer says the senate may hold a procedural vote by next wednesday. new outrage in new york city, after the recent beating of to nypd officers caught on

camera. we need to tell you, the video you may find disturbing. it happened over the weekend in times square. seven suspects were taken into custody. police are still looking for several more. all but one of them has been released without bail. the alleged instigator is still being held. city leaders are joining police in blasting prosecutors who say the evidence is still being gathered and the suspects are still facing charges, including assault on a police officer. but because they are migrants, there are concerns they may be heading out of the state, perhaps to the west coast. the officers were not seriously injured. the vta is working to move the bay area forward by creating more affordable housing in the south bay. it will be adjacent to the winchester light rail station in campbell. the vta says the housing will be built on vta-owned property. the goal is to build close to public transit and make it accessible to lower income families t.vta will hold a news conference to discuss the

project at 10:30 this morning at the winchester light rail station. the countdown to super bowl kickoff is on. there is only one week until the niners battle the kansas city chiefs in las vegas. here is a live look at las vegas at the mandelay bay total, and allegiant stadium not too far away as final preps are under way. >> niners fans played a huge part in getting the team hyped for the game and what better way to do that than the new 49 anthem. ♪♪ ♪ okay okay okay ♪ ♪ for the bay ♪ ♪ it's game day ♪ >> the niners released do it for the bay just a few weeks ago. maybe you've heard it at the games or on social media. two bay area artists collaborated to create that beat. 49ers marketing director told us the song took only a week to

write. they did the whole thing pretty quickly. the hard work paid off because fans so far are said to be loving it. >> the fan reception has been absolutely incredible and the stream numbers are looking really good, fans just keep hitting repeat. so that's what we wanted out of the song. >> do it for the bay. we've got a team of anchors, reporters and niners insiders all heading to vegas for the game. you can check out our full coverage at nbcbayarea.com. >> i like that song. >> catchy. >> just got word that we're taking "today in the bay" in vegas. no, we're not. >> wait, what? i hadn't heard that. >> okay. >> let's go, let's do it for the bay. so we are watching a lot of rain here, and it's going to continue as we go through the forecast. only a few breaks here and there. but we are starting out pretty soggy this morning, and the roads are wet for the morning commute, but it should improve a little bit more for the afternoon to evening commute. as we take a look at our

temperatures, most of us right at about 50 degrees, and look at how sloppy it is right there on the camera in oakland as the cars are driving on the interstate. we're going to continue to see, once again, very active weather conditions, with the next storm that we've been talking about developing farther off to the west. a closer look at the radar this morning does show that stormranger is picking up on a wave of showers coming into the coastline and then there's another one moving across the east bay down to the south bay. and as we go into this afternoon, it's going to be much cooler. we're only headed for the upper 50s today and these are the temperatures we'll see for the next several days. mike, you were looking at the bay bridge toll plaza. >> we are literally looking at the toll plaza. they've turned the camera over here, it shows how light the traffic is. it also shows a little spray behind these vehicles. still slick conditions. it's great at the toll plaza, but you do see the green highlighting all over. contra costa county starting to show a little less green.

highway 24, coming down 680 toward san ramon and toward the dublin interchange. new no entries, they're starting to clear the flood logs around the bay. freeways are moving well. travels times, highway 4 with no delays out of antioch, a little slowing out of the altamont pass for 580 and vasco, able to go at speed. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 5:11 right now. today is groundhog day. the famed east coast tradition is back. but how accurate is this year's groundhog in predicting? we're going to take a look at it straight ahead on "today in the bay." facebook goes really old school and mark zuckerberg gets ri

you want to see who we are as americans?

i'm peter dixon and in kenya... we built a hospital that provides maternal care. as a marine... we fought against the taliban and their crimes against women. and in hillary clinton's state department... we took on gender-based violence in the congo. now extremists are banning abortion and contraception right here at home. so, i'm running for congress to help stop them. for your family... and mine. i approved this message because this is who we are.

good friday morning. it is 5:14. as we take a look at our day planner for san francisco, a little soggy right now, and within the next hour still some scattered showers, but there will be a break by late morning. then at any point today we could see some rain coming through, so just be prepared for a little bit of everything. we're going to talk about that and the next storm coming in on sunday in just a few minutes. and right now we're looking at the san mateo bridge, which moves very nicely. good spacing between cars. notice, still wet roadways,

slicker conditions, and we're going to watch the speeds. there goes the box truck on the right, you see the spray. it will be on the windshield of the cars behind it. good morning. very happy friday to you. apple ships its vision pro headset today, tesla updating more than 2 million of its cars with a software update. they call it a recall, but of course tesla can do this over the air. government regulators say the warning lights need to be bigger, and when you have a screen that's a dashboard and a dashboard that's a screen, you can do that overnight. it's jobs friday, more about that in a minute. shares in meta, facebook jumping 14% after that company reported big profits. biggest quarterly sales in years. a stock buyback and a dividend. now, years ago a high-tech company would have been embarrassed to provide a dividend. a dividend is a payout to shareholders, usually quarterly, which is something a widows and

orphans stock did, companies that didn't plow their profits back into getting bigger because they didn't have to. facebook is now one of those old-school companies. mark zuckerberg had a rough wednesday. he was the target of so many senators at the judiciary committee meeting, but his week ended nicely. the jump in stock earned him billions and he'll make $700 million a year on the new dividend. san jose zoom laying off 15 people, about 2% of its workforce, second layoff. last year it cut about 1,500. layoffs are horrible. yeah, they tend to come with generous severance packages, but they're horrible. but at companies like facebook, like amazon, they're showing huge improvements in the company bottom line, but only after those big cutbacks. we expect the unemployment rate to increase with today's release of the monthly jobs report. we get that at 5:30. economists looking for 185,000 jobs added, though they've

seriously underestimated in the past. and amazon is updating your amazon app to add rufus, an ai that can help you shop. you can ask about various products or ask him to compare two products or summarize the reviews. in this example, rufus is helping you find a coffeemaker. now, do you have any wild guess as to who rufus was named after? >> their dog. >> yes. it sounds like a dog, doesn't it? one of the very first dogs to ever be at amazon. >> oh, it really was? >> really was. so it's called rufus. you get a gold star for the day. >> i like it. do i get to go home? >> i'm going to put rufus thomas on my playlist. new this morning, google is adding a generative ai feature to maps. it's currently only available for certain areas and members. it allows you to speak to the app using natural language to help find new places in your

hometown or throughout the country. you can ask follow-up questions as well to narrow down the options it gives you. trending this morning, you're waking up to the prediction of an early spring on this rainy friday. >> so within the last hour, groundhog punxsutawney fill did see his shadow -- >> did not. >> -- he did not see his shadow, so as usual, thousands packed today's event in pennsylvania, and it may just seen six more weeks of winter is off the table. or is it? so one new analysis of phil's forecasts shows a coin toss with being more accurate than he's been, noaa weather data finds that phil only gets it right 40% of the time, and hardly ever for the person united states. another group, climate central, finds if phil predicted an early spring every year, he would be twice as accurate. [ laughter ] >> it's just fun. >> that's true.

what do they say about a broken clock, it's always right twice a day? >> there you have it. there's phil. >> pulling out the scroll this morning. >> not feeling like spring today. i know that with all of this rain we kind of think, okay, are we normal, like have we gotten enough? we're going to talk about that, because we are seeing more storms coming our way. it is a sloppy morning commute, as we take a live look outside in oakland this morning, and let's talk about where we stand with our water year. we're now nearly 3 inches above normal for santa rosa, after starting out with a big deficit even just a month ago. and in oakland where we were having a really big 3 to 4 inch rainfall deficit, we've made a big dent in that, even though we're still not caught up to normal. in concord, slightly below normal for the east bay, and we're seeing it a little bit lower. for the rest of the bay area, we

are more than above what we typically see for the water year. and then we do, once again, have more rain that's going to be coming in. as we take a look at stormranger, i wanted to widen out the view to show you there's another storm that's going to be coming in that we'll be talking about quite a bit. looking at the east bay, we're seeing waves of rain coming in from danville to san ramon, down to dublin. then it gets a little lighter toward livermore. san jose getting a break in the activity, but it's still raining in morgan hill where you will see a break within the next few minutes. off and on rain will be what we can expect throughout today and into the afternoon. there may be a little more in the way of peeks of sunshine for us for later this afternoon, but more rain coming in on saturday, starting out in the morning, and it's not looking like it's going to give us a big break before the next atmospheric river arrives early on sunday morning, first starting out farther to the south with some heavy rain on sunday morning.

so throughout the weekend, we're going to get some fairly significant rainfall totals, and as we mentioned, a lot of us are already above what we typically get for this date for the water year. we have 2 to 3 inches of additional rainfall, this time the heavier rain is going to be south of the golden gate bridge. that's because that's the direction of the next atmospheric river, and the way it will be coming into the bay area. then we're just going to see off and on showers through at least the middle of the week. so looking at our seven-day forecast, a lot of rain icons on here, every single day. but we know how it goes, there are some breaks we'll get here and there, especially throughout the day today, and then early tomorrow there may be some breaks in the activity. but it does ramp up and become more widespread late tomorrow night into sunday. mike, you were saying that you really do need to take it easy on the roads right now. >> and we can for the most part because it's lighter traffic, it's friday morning so we don't expect a dramatic build.

there are crews that are out there doing the work even in the drizzle and rain. that's tough, but it's a smooth drive across the span. westbound, there wasn't a lot of slowing. nor was there eastbound, slowing, even though they had one lane blocked for quite a bit of time. the green shows you wet roadways. slowing shows up eastbound 24. it was there for a few minutes. a couple of slower moving vehicles out of the altamont. no problems for the tri-valley. taking a look at the rest of the bay, smooth drive south bay and peninsula. back to you. >> thanks. coming up next, nbc bay area responds. >> a customer service outage after the cable company, and a seating drama at a theatre. two cases our team was eager to tackle. tackle. i'm consumer investatorig

how intense those flames were and give you an update on the people liv

two leading candidates for senate. two very different visions for california. steve garvey, the leading republican, is too conservative for california. he voted for trump twice and supported republicans for years,

including far right conservatives. adam schiff, the leading democrat, defended democracy against trump and the insurrectionists. he helped build affordable housing, lower drug costs, and bring good jobs back home. the choice is clear. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message. breaking right now at 5:30, an east bay house fire sends two people to the hospital. we are live there this morning with reaction from neighbors who describe a heartbreaking scene. and they're here, those apple goggles are in stores as of today. but what are they good for? this is "today in the bay."

>> i wonder if they make a petite version. those look kind of big. good morning to you all. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm laura garcia. bay area getting a chance to dry out a little, depends on where you are, but not completely. we want to start out with meteorologist kari hall, in between the back-to-back storms we're still getting this rainfall, even a funnel cloud, i understand, in the north bay that's getting a lot of attention. you've got a closer look. >> so let's take a look at the video because it was very interesting to see what we think is a funnel cloud. a funnel cloud is basically a circulation that comes out of the clouds during those storms, and before it touches the ground it's considered a funnel cloud. if it does make contact with the ground, then it would be considered a tornado. and so they do have to go out there and assess and see if there's any damage to make that determination, but it's so far away, it almost looks like it's over the water. so we're still trying to get some more information on that, but that circulation is

something very typical that we can see in these types of thunderstorms and the cells we've seen moving around those mountains, which also create a little more turbulence with the storms that do develop. so we will possibly see more activity like that, and of course with these wintertime storms that we see, this is the best chance that we could possibly see either funnel clouds or even those types of very interesting looking clouds. we are in between the rain now with still a very soggy commute as we take a look at storm ranger and the activity we've seen. a closer look from san francisco down the peninsula, some wet weather coming in, and another wave that's been moving across the east bay. i'll be tracking this for you. we'll talk about what to expect ahead of our next atmospheric river that's in the microclimate forecast coming up in a few minutes. >> we'll check back with you, kari. we are following breaking news in contra costa county with an intense fire overnight engulfed a home, sending two people to the hospital.

>> "today in the bay"'s ginger conejero saab is live for us there at the scene. ginger, what are you learning this morning about what happened? >> reporter: well, marcus, laura, we haven't heard back from the fire department just yet. we have reached out to them. but what we do know is still pretty minimal at this point. i want to show you the home that went up in flames overnight. there are two longer fire crews here. there is a fire damage truck that's seemingly cleaning out, clearing out the garage and the fire damage from there. you can see the entire front of the home is boarded up, the garage as well. i want to show you the flames that caused this fire. they were very intense overnight. you can see those fire crews working to fight the flames that looked to have engulfed the home. at one point crews appeared to be sawing the garage door, a firefighter could be seen with a saw in hand on the roof. now, one neighbor said she heard

screaming, she came out to the street and saw the devastation. >> there was flames coming out of the living room window and the door and in the roof, the corner in the front. smoke coming out of the garage area. and there were two women in the driveway crying. they were on their knees crying. >> reporter: now, emergency responders could be seen transporting one person into an ambulance. we have not heard in detail from the fire department the extent of their injuries, but they did put out this tweet before 1:30 this morning, con firefighters responded to the 1200 block of temple drive in pacheco at 11:23 p.m. two adult victims were transported for injuries and two adults are displaced, but safe, thanks to working smoke alarms. we anticipate that we will learn

more about what caused this fire, but just looking at it, you can really see how tragic it was for the people living here. we will bring you the latest as soon as we hear back from the fire department, marcus and laura. >> i can't imagine for that poor family, too. thank you for the latest. stay with us here on nbc bay area, both on air and online as we continue to follow the latest on this fire. you can also download our free nbc bay area news app for updates 24/7. happening today, south bay state senator dave cortese will join california labor leaders in a push to support his bill to boost robotaxi restrictions. cortese calls it the autonomous vehicle service deployment and data transparency act, but it would move the regulatory power of autonomous taxis from state puc to local jurisdictions. just two weeks ago waymo applied to expand services across a large chunk of the peninsula, as well as into los angeles.

today's news conference is planned for 9:00 this morning. also happening today, apple is starting to ship its vision pro headset, the first new product in seven years. >> scott mcgrew is joining us live. no surprise that these sold out, but people should be able to try them out at the store, right? >> that's our expectation, try them out with an appointment ahead of time. as far as your expectation, maybe don't expect much. the goggles do a lot, but it's not clear they do anything that people really need them to do. for instance, when the personal computer first came out, the spreadsheet was the killer app, a must have. what's the killer app on apple's vision pro? nobody knows yet. chances are the killer app has not been made yet. the developer who is going to figure out why we need these goggles will figure it out when they arrive at our doorstep this morning. this is not uncommon. the iphone, we use it to call

ubers and order doordash and check our bank balance. when it first came out, it didn't have an app store. we can't imagine an iphone without the apps. some day we won't imagine the vision pro without some kind of amazing app. it's $3,500 and you can't use them if you cannot see properly without glasses, without buying special prescription inserts. you use the apple store app, like i'm doing here, to measure your face ahead of time so you can get a proper fit. this is not the first time, as you well know, that a company has tried to sell some sort of glasses or goggles. meta had a virtual reality, still does have a headset. they've got to deal with rayban for smart sunglasses as well that you've never seen anybody wear ever. and of course years ago google had the google glasses and we pulled up this picture of ben and our friend joanna stern. so which one do you think is the future? it's the one on the right because it looks so much more

sophisticated. it did so much less. it barely did anything at all. but we thought ben was looking unusual on air wearing that, and joanna, it looks like she's ready to ski. >> that's what i was going to say. i've got a pair of those. i go skiing. thank you very much. speaking of skiing, in tahoe it's actually been a slow start to the season, but with flurries this week, ski resort workers are expecting it to be a very busy weekend. more snow is expected to fall on sunday and monday. cal tran crews will be stationed up and down 80 and highway 50. crews are advising drivers to certainly be careful and take your time. you've got to plan it if you're lucky enough to head to the mountain. >> working double-time, tracking both the rain and snow. there will be some brief breaks, but conditions will be very slippery trying to get to the sierra. palisades tahoe, beautiful this morning, and we're only headed for the low 30s. what we'll see today will mostly

come down as snow, even as some of the lower elevations. overnight low down to 18 degrees. tomorrow temperatures go up slightly above freezing, so we could see, as you're making your way there, some breaks in the activity as well as some of it coming down as rain. and then on sunday, temperatures going up just slightly, but we are going to see the next big storm coming in. and then next week we have a lot of snow coming in. the forecast between now and next friday, a possibility of anywhere from 32 to 53 inches of additional snowfall on top of what we are getting right now. and then there's a lot going on in the bay area, including the lunar new year and black history month celebration in oakland. we are going to be watching out for some slight rain chances throughout the day. the later in the day, the better the chance of rain. so toward the end of the event, we may start to see some showers coming in. and then for the weekend if you're going to pebble beach,

off and on rain. look at these temperatures. probably not ideal as we'll only be in the low 50s tomorrow and most likely rain off and on throughout the day, as well as more rain and gusty winds on sunday. for sonoma valley, also jacket weather, umbrella, too. we'll see temperatures in the low 50s, and overnight lows as cold as 39 degrees. mike, you're starting with that drive through san jose. >> we're looking at the conditions. you know about this, but folks, look at this live shot of 101. the water kicking up, water on the lens. there will be slick conditions and possibly issues with visibility as that water kicks up onto your windshield. so make sure you still have wiper fluid. 101 shows a tiny bit of slowing, but the green highlighting all over the bay, those are the slick roadways. we're watching for any issues. no major complications reported. in fact, crews are able to get out and we may have some on tiburon boulevard, 101 and 131, just the last day of work that's scheduled up in this area.

you see the wet roadways through that portion of the bay. we are looking at the drive across the richmond-san rafael bridge. there will be some daytime work going on on saturday, so keep that in mind as you're traveling westbound. you may lose a lane. there will be crews. watch for them. mild slowing just kicking off for highway 37, highway 4 still at the speed limit, and the bay bridge, just a little slowing now into san francisco. you see that as folks are entering the area around fremont street. back to you. >> thank you so much. recent financial aid changes triggering big headaches for students around the nation, and it's starting before they even get accepted into college. coming up this morning here on "today in the bay," we're going to talk about delays leaving families in limbo and the likely springtime scramble for those families. and i'm bob redell. we're live in oakland at what is not only northern california's oldest, but as you can see looking around, largest rummage sale in full swing.

we're going to take you to the white elephant sale coming up in a live report. we're moving you forward with our friday morning school shout-out series. this comes courtesy of a fifth grade class in danville. >> this is my fantastic fifth grade class at vista grande elementary in danville. >> good morning, bay area! >> what a nice glass. good morning, to you as well. we would love to see your students take part. you can email video to us at you can email video to us at schoolshoutout@nbcuni.com.

nothing comes close to this place in the morning. i'm so glad i can still come here. you see, i was diagnosed with obstructive hcm. and there were some days i was so short of breath. i thought i'd have to settle for never stepping foot on this trail again. i became great at making excuses. but i have people who count on me so i talked to my cardiologist. i said there must be more we can do for my symptoms. he told me about a medication called camzyos. he said camzyos works by targeting what's causing my obstructive hcm. so he prescribed it and i'm really glad he did. camzyos is used to treat adults with symptomatic obstructive hcm. camzyos may improve your symptoms and your ability to be active. camzyos may cause serious side effects,

including heart failure that can lead to death. a risk that's increased if you develop a serious infection or irregular heartbeat or when taking certain other medicines. so do not stop, start or change medicines or the dose without telling your healthcare provider. you must have echocardiograms before and during treatment. seek help if you experience new or worsening symptoms of heart failure. because of this risk, camzyos is only available through a restricted program. before taking camzyos, tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, including current or planned pregnancy. today with camzyos, i don't lose my breath as often. my symptoms have improved, helping me go from expecting less to experiencing more. my name is mike. and this is my camzyos moment. call your cardiologist today and see if a camzyos moment may be in your future too.

good friday morning. the time now is 5:54. we take a look at our current stormranger that is scanning the waves of rain we're seeing this morning, moving through san francisco and across the bay, as well as the east bay. watch out and allow some extra time to get to work this morning. we'll track more rain in your weekend forecast coming up in a few minutes. kari just showed you the radar. you can kind of see a little halo around the lights. that does indicate a lot of moisture in the air. let me show you the road. that's also slick. the golden gate bridge in both of those shots, travel coming south into the city without any problems right now. >> thanks so much, kari and mike. president biden pushing hard in michigan, a key state in the upcoming election. >> scott mcgrew, it's home to a lot of union workers and the

democrats are trying to pick up as many as they can. >> good morning to you. you know, 30, 40 years ago democrats just expected union and blue collar workers to vote for them. democrats were the party of the working man and woman. the flip to republicans started back during the '60s and the civil rights movement gained speed with reagan democrats and hit full stride with trump. so president biden is working rust belt states and factory towns hard. he's got the endorsement of united auto workers already and he stopped in a coffee shop in detroit. the local reporter says the two were talking to somebody on face-time. you've got to be surprised to have your president pop up on facetime. >> we have in large part because of you and organized labor, the strongest economy in the whole damn world. >> the president today will attend the dignified transfer of those three american service members killed in jordan. that happens in delaware. secretary austin will be there

as well. and of course we're still waiting to see how america responds in retribution against iranian-backed malitia, or even iran. in washington, senate majority leader chuck schumer says he'll get the all-important border bill, the same one that contains funding for israel and ukraine's defense, to fellow senators tomorrow or sunday at the latest. then he'll call a vote on wednesday, which sounds like, okay, here we go, that border bill, it shuts down the border maybe every day, it will get its day in congress. money for ukraine, money for israel, except the speaker of the house, mike johnson, has indicated he will not bring it to the vote to the house because donald trump has urged him not to. trump wants to be able to keep the border issue an issue as he campaigns. >> he used $50 million of his campaign funds to pay for legal fees. are you kidding me? $50 million. no wonder he's worried about how

he's going to pay against joe biden. >> nikki haley on the campaign trail in south carolina where she warned voters that donald trump will lose to biden in her opinion. as for her claim, trump's campaign has spent millions on defense, we can rake that as mostly true. his pacs have spent tens of millions of dollars, not the campaign specifically. meantime, the supreme court says it will hear trump's arguments that he should remain on the ballot in colorado and maine next thursday. his new york city fraud trial has been moved to later this month. we thought it would start in a few days. trump's legal calendar is going to get very busy as we move through the year. >> no doubt. thank you very much. students are busy right now. march madness should take on a whole new meaning for colleges across the country, but it has nothing to do with basketball. it's all from a recently discovered mistake in federal financial aid forms, better known as fafsa. they're provided by the education department.

the forms were supposed to arrive at colleges this week following previous delays due to a program overhaul. but inflation tables were never adjusted, so the forms will now go out in mid-march. the fix will no doubt help struggling families, but experts say it will cause some havoc because in many cases college applications will have less time to weigh their offer letters. >> the department of education estimated it was going to cost families $1.8 billion. >> it is compressing an already very compressed timeframe. >> experts are trying to warn families some colleges may not send out their offers until mid to late april, even may. may 1st can often be the deadline for students to make a decision on enrollment, so some colleges are now considering an extension. bay area sports bars will be packed with niners fans. this is for next sunday's super bowl. but you know what? the chiefs fans, well, there's

one place in san francisco that vows to be niner-free. buzzworks calling out chief fans to come out and watch the game. the owner says he decided to give chief kingdom a place to watch. you know what, he expects it to be filled to capacity. do you think so? he says they did the same thing when the same two teams met at the super bowl in early 2020, and believe it or not, he's a niners fan. >> we wanted to make sure we gave them their fair share, which means we are not letting in any niners fans or fans of any other team. >> he also plans to send any unsuspecting niners fans to a bar across the street, the owner is fully expecting his customers to be wearing red and gold. >> it's a niners fan but businessman. the largest and oldest rummage sale in northern

california is still in full swing in oakland. >> it is pretty amazing. we sent "today in the bay"'s bob redell and he's been shopping early this morning at the white elephant sale. it benefits the oakland museum of california. it's pretty extensive out there. any good finds so far? >> reporter: tons of great finds. this thing has been running since 1959, it's over 96,000 square feet. you can see furniture here, we've got books, hardware. is there anything you're looking for? i'm putting you on the spot real quick. anything you're looking for? >> a fire hose attachment, yes, this is what you guys are looking for. it's only $75. what about a van halen pinball machine? no, we don't have that. but will you settle for a kiss pinball machine?

it's only $5,000. you can spend a lot of money here for just dollars on the items. good to see you. is there anything that has surprised you, considering all the items that you have that have been so unusual that you didn't think you would see it or have you seen it all? >> i think i've seen it all. >> what is one thing that stands out? >> nothing surprises me anymore. let me take you over and show you one of our -- >> i was hoping that you maybe had an edison c-250 from 1916. >> head right on over. >> we'll come over here. go ahead and fire this up. it still works. it is how much? >> $700. >> we've shown a $5,000 item, a $700 item. you can come in here and spend just dollars. >> we have items here for a dollar. >> what is the most popular

section of the sale? >> i would say household, jewelry, art department. but it depends what you're looking for. people who are book lovers, they'll tell you books. ♪♪ >> i love that. >> reporter: i'm going to get this for our rave party we're going to have later. this is great rave music. this is cool. and where do these items come from? >> they're all donated. >> all donated. and the donations start in march, which is right after the sale. >> they start in march and at the end of the sale, the warehouse is empty. >> reporter: i know mike inouye, you were looking for a c3po, but i do find r2d2, so i hope that

works. anyway, so this sale, it will be running later today. it goes through march 4th -- 3rd, facts, just the facts, you can go to whiteelephantsale.org. they've got that website name. you can get more information. you do have to buy tickets to come here and rummage through the warehouse. i came here 20 years ago to do live shots. >> i remember. >> reporter: it's still got the same quality of selection and everything. and, of course, it benefits the oakland museum of california. >> which is great. cool things out there. thanks, bob. >> a good place to go to get away from some of the rain. >> yeah, it's inside. definitely a plus. we are going to see off and on rain, hard to make plans to do anything, because this is what it looks like outside in oakland right now. very sloppy as you're heading out for work this morning. let's talk about what to expect, with a chance of showers in the forecast through tomorrow, and then the next storm coming in on

sunday morning. so there's not much of a break here. and as the storm comes in, we'll be watching for the potential of dangerous winds and possible flooding as well. along the coastline we have also some very dangerous waves, and as we go into now through early tomorrow morning, breakers could reach anywhere from 14 to 18 feet. they're already up to about 12 feet right now. and so you do want to stay well away from the water. and it's all because of the storm systems that are coming back to back. in fact, the next one is developing and reaching its way closer to the bay area coastline. we're still dealing with the lingering effects of the atmospheric river that has already pushed to the south. we're still getting a stream of moisture coming in, which is developing all of the rain we're seeing right now. at times the pockets of rain is heavy, and we're watching out for the chance of thunderstorms as we go throughout the day. notice that there will be some breaks and not everyone is seeing the rain all at once. that will continue into your saturday. with the next storm coming in on

sunday, that continues into monday as well, with the ground already saturated. that's the reason why we do have the possibility of flooding, and then more rain toward the end of next week. so not many breaks here. as we go hour-by-hour, things will change. one minute you may see peeks of sunshine, and then the next few minutes it's raining. all of that will continue in the forecast until next week. i zoomed in a little because we see the glow for all the water. the mist kicked up behind the vehicles. there will be spray on the cars behind you. a slower drive across the span. the green highlighting shows you how prevalent the roadways on. use caution. a smooth flow of traffic with the san jose slowing moving toward santa clara for north 101. >> thanks, mike. tesla is set to pay $1.5 million in a settlement

with several california counties, 25 counties sued tesla, claiming the company illegally dumped hazardous materials. tesla will have to train employees and hire a third party to do an annual waste audit for the next five years. it's been a very busy morning here on "today in the bay." an uncertain future for a controversial bike lane in san francisco. the reason city officials say it's time to go back to the drawing board when it comes to a highly congested street. and nbc bay area news is streaming 24/7. you can watch us whenever you like on roku or other streaming platforms. platforms. a lot more news ahe
