san rafael camera that we showed. and we are seeing some light showers moving into the north bay, but the heavier rain still well to the north of us. and we're going to see that rolling in by late morning into the early afternoon. so as we take a look live right now in san jose, showers coming in today as well as some very snowy cierra cierra travel snow levels coming down to about 6000ft, and the rain chances will continue midweek into the end of the week. so right now we're starting out cool temperatures headed for the low 60s in dublin 62 today, 64 novato. and for tomorrow it's going to be just a touch warmer in some spots as we are going to see some highs in the mid 60s. so i'll be tracking that rain. we'll go with our hour by hour forecast coming up in a few minutes. mike, you've got a already. a couple of crashes out there. yeah. traffic is very light right now. but the crashes there are a couple. this one i just learned is only allowing one lane through. it's counter commute. in fact, both crashes are counter commute in the east bay eastbound 24. as

you're just passing wilder road. you see folks slowing on the approach to this crash. i'm just told only one lane is open. as you're traveling east toward the caldecott tunnel, we'll follow this. hopefully, that quick traffic break will clear shortly. we're looking over here toward eastbound highway four as well, coming over towards somersville. another crash reported there. car went off the shoulder into onto the edge of the roadway and onto the dirt. so do be careful as you pass by. there will be a crew there. here are the conditions out here. approaching the bay bridge. there's the berkeley curve water on the lens. definitely water on the roadway as well. use caution folks, back to you. thanks a lot, mike. caught in the act, a fed up south bay homeowner takes action. this is after being repeatedly targeted by mail thieves. today in the bay's kris sanchez joins us in our newsroom with the story. you'll only see on nbc bay area. and kris, this is really interesting. the victim here provided some critical evidence. if an arrest can be made. oh for sure. so that sunnyvale homeowner tells us that his mail was stolen twice in two days last week. and

then another time, at least one more time before that. and this homeowner was only one among dozens of people whose mail was swiped. here's the moment that it happened. on friday. in the security video, you see a person opening a number of mail boxes, not prying them, opening open, not using force, but opening them with a key. the neighbor who got that video took his personal investigation another step further, putting a gps tracker inside a fake package, which he says he tracked all the way at a home in san jose. now, the man who we are only referring to as jay in order to protect his privacy, did file a police report with the sunnyvale department of public safety and also reported it to the u.s. postal service. but he says he can't believe that the locks were not changed. we've only captured three incidents on video, but we believe this has been maybe the fifth or sixth

time this has happened. at least we look at a number of security options and again, that is one of our security options. it's just it's based on security. it's based on operational considerations. this is video from february of 2023 which captured another time. mail was stolen from the same community that time, jay says the thief made off with his w-2 form. one of jay's neighbors also says one of their credit cards was compromised after their mail was stolen last week. while this case is ongoing, we can tell you that postal inspectors arrested nearly 9000 suspects for mail theft in the five year span between 2018 and 2023. laura, it's become quite a problem. thanks for the latest kris 504 right now on your monday mornin, 70 days from today, president elect donald trump takes office. and at this point, questions are

swirling over what the future may hold, especially when it comes to his response to the investigation surrounding his first term and the future of the u.s. supreme court. today in the bay's chris pallone has more from washington, where reeling democrats are bracing for trump's next moves. there ain't no doubt president elect trump completing a sweep of all the battleground states in this election, winning arizona this weekend and touting his success on social media, writing thank you god. one all swing states and the popular vote by almost 7 million voters with just over two months before inauguration day, mr. trump is filling out his cabinet naming former immigration and customs enforcement director tom homan to be the, quote, border czar, putting him in charge of deporting immigrants who crossed the border illegally. there's no price tag on protecting the safety and security of our country and our citizens. president trump is going to enforce the law, and we haven't had that over the last four years. as the department of justice winds down, investigations into the president elect's first term,

his allies in congress may just be ramping up. congressman jim jordan says nothing is off the table when it comes to special counsel jack smith sending a letter to preserve all investigation information while we said is we want you to preserve the preserve the documents, we want to see what's going on on the other side of the aisle. democrats bracing for changes turn their attention to the supreme court, specifically, 70 year old justice sonia sotomayor. some democrats have called on her to retire while president biden is still in the white house, but on meet the press, vermont senator bernie sanders says he doesn't think sotomayor should step down. no, i don't is. have you heard any talk of this a little bit? yes. i don't think it's a sensible approach. president biden has promised a peaceful transition to the second trump term. he and president elect trump are expected to meet wednesday at the white house. chris pollone, nbc news. firefighters this morning are not saying if they

know yet what started a fast-moving fire that destroyed a duplex and heavily damaged another in oakland. it happened yesterday on east 17th street and 24th avenue. drivers could see the smoke from nearby interstate 880. everyone made it out safely, but at least a dozen people are now displaced. the flames also destroyed a garage and several cars. witnesses say it started in the garage before spreading. so the whole the whole garage that was there before is no longer there. it's completely wiped out. the house over there next to his house suddenly got burned in the back. the fire also knocked out power to nearby homes due to a downed power line. the red cross is now assisting those displaced families. firefighters in southern california are making more progress on the wildfire that has destroyed dozens of homes in ventura county. the mountain fire wiped out at least 130 homes since last wednesday, and has burned more than 20,000 acres. last night, firefighters reported that it is about 30%

contained at this point. meanwhile, over the weekend, some of the victims of the fire tried to stay strong as they faced the painful task of returning to what's left of their homes. we kind of have nothing left but our family, so it really just makes you think of is it all worth it? keeping a bunch of things, or is it more just staying in contact with family and just being there for each other? governor newsom has already declared a state of emergency. he also issued an executive order to support firefighter and recovery efforts. it is 508 on your monday morning veteran's day holiday as well. looks kind of quiet there on the golden gate bridge, but look at the sheen on the roadway out there. some rain coming towards the bay area today. kari has a look at our forecast. yeah, we can see this storm system approaching from the north and the roads are wet already out ahead of some of the heavier rain that will be arriving in the next few hours. it's the north bay and some of the coastal areas, the golden gate bridge that is right now seeing some of that rain moving

in. and we're going to once again see some of the heavier rain reserve for the next 2 to 3 hours. first starting in the north bay and then continuing to sweep its way across much of the rest of the bay area as we go toward 10 to 11:00, some pretty widespread rain, and then by noon, it's starting to taper off for the north bay while still raining from san francisco to the east bay on southward. and we are going to gradually start to see this rain moving out for the afternoon into the evening. and we're looking at some clearing skies later on tonight, so i'll continue to track this. we'll talk more about how much rain you can expect as we go through the forecast. that's coming up in just a few minutes. mike has been tracking where we can find some lower gas prices. yeah, we have good news at the gas pump. at least at one station. we're going to start the week with the best. one of the best in the state. now, livermore has made the chart. it's got the outlier there at 355 at springtown gas on bluebell drive. same station we talked about last week. much better price. we're looking at

the solano county next. fairfield has the best price with 385 at bond fair market on walters road. and then the same lows in the south bay. 385 at cupertino, car wash in cupertino on north deanza boulevard. remember you can check gasbuddy.com. there have been some changes over the weekend. we're going to look at the roadways where traffic flows very smoothly. now it's a holiday, a federal holiday, so a lot less of a commute right now. but eastbound 24 things were very slow. word is that they have all traffic stopped temporarily. as you're traveling eastbound toward the caldecott tunnel, you can get off the freeway at wilder, which is the exit just prior to the crash. but that will take you to some surface streets, and it's a windy roadway. you may want to just stick it out. i think they should clear that in the next few. we'll continue to track that, but your commute direction coming in toward the bay bridge is clear. the skies above the bay bridge, though, they're making things a little damp. so be careful out there. back to you. good advice. thanks, mike. it is 510 right now. on this veterans day, we shine the spotlight on successfully transitioning away from the military service. ahead, the

best resources for veterans who may be struggling now. the stock markets are open today, so we'll have the numbers for you. plus, an inventor creates something that is a very safe face saving measure. you're watching tod ♪ i'm on my way ♪ ♪ home sweet home ♪ there's no place like the road home. receive a $5,500 bonus on a new 2024 audi q5 plug-in hybrid during the season of audi sales event.

heavier for a couple of hours. but then it's already clear by 2:00 and we will have very cool temperatures today compared to what we've seen recently. we'll talk about this clearing out and more rain, waves of rain coming our way in the microclimate forecast coming up. has reached oakland right here. the nimitz showing a little slicker roadway, a little less traffic though. we expect this the federal holiday. some businesses, schools off today. so we'll watch the drive. we still have that crash on 24. still waiting for that break in the eastbound direction. well good morning. very happy veterans day to you. and to my dad, who served aboard the us aircraft carrier uss shangri-la. bond markets closed today. stock markets, though, are open. the stock markets used to close for the day, but they changed their minds about veterans day back in the 50s. most banks and government offices are closed today. record markets again on friday. airbnb tumbled after the

we really did pump more oil could get to cheap natural gas producers are already slowing production down because energy prices have gotten so low. looking ahead on the week, we get key inflation data on wednesday with the october cpi, inflation has been falling for a while. we're down to 2.1%. that's just above the fed's target of 2%. and a guy in japan who prides himself on inventing marginally useful things says he has perfected a shield that will protect you from dropping your iphone on your face. the shield closes automatically if it detects the phone has slipped out of your hands and headed towards your head. kusa, shibata says, works nine out of ten times. he posted the plans online so you can 3d print your own. i think that's a very convenient and not at all weird thing to have in your bed. yeah, yeah, i was i was reading about this and somebody said that they had dropped the phone on their face and gotten a bruise so bad

work, you can find employment and training through the edd website and america's job center of california, or upload your resume and apply for work at cal jobs. and if you're hiring, you can benefit from hiring a veteran. just head to the edd website to learn about the work opportunity tax credit and restaurants across the u.s. are offering veterans day deals for our service members and their families. applebee's providing free meals to veterans, active duty and reserve national guard members. ihop offering veterans and active duty military members. a free red and white blueberry combo. starbucks is offering a free 12 ounce coffee and current, as well as former military members can enjoy a free donut over at dunkin donuts. also today, california state parks will offer free admission to veterans active and reserve military. it's really nice. thank a veteran. a lot to do. have a chance. some parades today and sorry it's going to rain on them. yeah we were really focusing on the big one

in san jose. and we are going to see unfortunately those showers moving through. let's time it out for you because i know that if you are going out, just bring the umbrella and it will be at times a little bit wet. it does start at noon. it looks like the rain for san jose will still be happening at that time, and then we'll see it taper off as we go into late morning, into the afternoon or early afternoon. i should say, into the evening, and then eventually clearing out. temperatures will also be cool, so not only will you need the umbrella, but also a warmer jacket. as we're seeing this system approaching in from the north with a cold front. some of the heavier rain just to our north, and that will be advancing into the north bay by about 8 to 9:00. we're seeing some pretty widespread rain over santa rosa, calistoga and approaching napa at that point, and then going toward 10:00, it's raining still steadily in the north bay and just getting going in the peninsula and approaching the south bay, as well as parts of the east bay and then into the noon hour. we're still seeing the rain over the south bay while the north

bay, for the most part, is catching a break. and we're going to see the rain taper off for this evening. and clearing out and temperatures dropping. so we're looking at the possibility of some spots getting about a quarter inch of rainfall, mainly near the coast, but it could be higher for the north bay, closer to a half inch of rainfall by this evening, and about a quarter inch of rain for fremont, dublin as well as los gatos. now, that's not our only chance of rain this week. tuesday is dry, but then wednesday into thursday we have scattered showers coming in and there could be a couple of waves of rain coming in for the end of the week. this weekend is dry, but then more rain ahead, mainly for early next week. possibly a bigger storm system approaching that could bring the cierra some snow with the rain that we're seeing over the bay area right now, the sierra's going to see about 2 to 6in of snowfall that we always early in the season, get people who get caught in some of the roadways as they're trying to head through the sierra, and you just want to make sure that you already have

those chains in the car for the season. if you're going in that direction. now we're also going to see more snow for the end of the week into the weekend. and in total, we may get about a foot of snow and some of those ski resorts. so that's some great news. now that we're heading deeper into november, we are seeing the wet weather to go along with that. looking at our 7-day forecast, we are going to see some off and on showers by midweek and drying out for the weekend. temperatures staying cool. it will be in the 60s all across the bay area for those highs at least through sunday. mike, you're still tracking that crash in the east bay? i am kari still tracking highway 24. however, the sensor change leads me to believe there's been a change in status. chp says they still have all lanes blocked of eastbound 24. but look, we saw some slowing start to clear. and now the sensors are almost completely green. eastbound 24 just past wilder road is where the crash happened. the break and the activity on the shoulder again. i think they've reopened the lanes heading back over toward the caldecott tunnel. i'll keep tracking that of

course, if you're heading through the area, commute direction is fine. through the caldecott toward the maze and the bay bridge. lighter traffic throughout the east bay, although we do see a little slowing already. again, typical timing. lighter than normal traffic flow though, and lighter than slowing over there. the conditions are tough, so watch out there for anywhere north of oakland. we're looking at wet roadways, so do be careful. back to you. thanks so much, mike. 522 for you this morning, the 49ers win an absolute thriller, but this game has a lot more to do it to it than that. coming up, we're going to take you on an emotional roller coaster, including a dramatic comeback. a cathartic score, and even a little bit of drama on the sidelines. a lot more news

in the second half of the season. a thrilling and emotional win over tampa, along with the return of a key star. yes, certainly it was a great game. fans are still talking about the emotional charge of seeing ricky pearsall yesterday score his first nfl touchdown, a 46 yard catch only about two and a half months since surviving that shooting that he had in san francisco and christian mccaffrey. season debut included a nice catch, gaining more than 100 yards from scrimmage. the niners took the lead late in the game with a george kittle catch in the end zone, and they won it on a last second field goal. afterward, cmc talked about the thrill of returning from a frustrating injury. i'm just

happy i'm here, man. i mean, that was that was a long journey and a lot of long days. so it feels good to win and it feels good to just play in a football game again. well, things weren't all rosy late in the game. deebo samuel got into a sideline spat with long snapper taybor pepper after the niners missed their third field goal. soon after that, jake moody kicked the field goal to win the game 23 to 20. deebo later called his reaction out of character. all right. 526 for you, this morning. next. the top stories we're following today, including an emotional homecoming. a contra costa county city. a salute. a family of a world war two soldier whose remains finally returned home. live report on the emotional service plan for this veteran's day. i'm ginger conejero saab. we're live in san francisco this morning. if you are driving in the city and looking to park, you're going to want to listen up.

there are new parking rules that will be enacted today that have to do with how you park close to

cisco. we're live with the first steps being taken today that should help warn violators and closure for one family. as an east bay woman lays to rest the

father she never got to meet. the emotional veterans day service for a world war two soldier who never made it home, and a live look outside as rain is headed to the bay area. meteorologist kari hall tracking its arrival and how long it should stick around. this is today in the bay. 530. happy veterans day to you. hope you're coming off a nice weekend. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. and i'm marcus washington. time to get a look at that forecast, because we've been talking about that incoming rain. meteorologist kari hall has a look at that timeline for us. yeah, we don't have to say incoming because it's already here. it's been raining in the north bay. we're seeing the rain coming down in san francisco. and much of the rest of the bay area will continue to see that rain coming in over the next few hours, but the heavier rain is still to the north of us, and we will see that moving in by about 8 to 9:00 in the north bay and moving into san francisco, getting heavier there. and we're going to continue to see the rain continue, at least into

noon. but for the south bay, it may be a little bit later as the north bay starts to get some clearing and then into the evening, it is looking much clearer and temperatures will be dropping as well. behind this cold front moving through. so it's already creating the slick conditions now at the bay bridge toll plaza. min carey. as we show folks at home, you see the sheen on the roadway. that means the pavement is a little slick. now, it's not a complete, you know, covered with puddles, but that's enough to make the cars slip around. we've seen a couple of spinouts, so solo car spinouts over the course of the 4:00 hour. just saw some flashing lights at the toll plaza. we'll go back and check on what's going on. but i did want to check in on this. eastbound 24. we had the full stop. that traffic looks like it's been cleared for some time. although chp has not updated the crash. located at wilder or just past. so watch for any activity as you travel toward the caldecott from the bay bridge. but look how light this traffic flow is. just a little bit of brake tap out of the altamont pass and vasco, is that your minimum travel time out of

contra costa county? back to you. all right. thanks, mike. a new state law officially takes effect in january to boost pedestrian safety. but happening today, san francisco takes its first step to enact it. drivers will really have to pay extra close attention, and if they don't, it may cost you. today in the bay's ginger conejero saab live for us in san francisco, explaining just how this new daylight law will be forced enforced for us. ginger. good morning, marcus and laura. that's right. this day, lighting law. these new rules are already in place. but today there will be the start of violations. if drivers break those rules now, the penalties, they don't start until next year. but the violations and the warnings do start today. i want to give you a look at an intersection here in san francisco, where this new day lighting law may be in questions now in question, i should say the rules say that you cannot park within 20ft of any marked or unmarked crosswalk. you can see there are two vehicles that are close to

the intersection here. one arguably 20ft away from the intersection, the other looking definitely like it's not within 20ft of that unmarked intersection. now, some of these spaces are painted red, some are not. the law is designed to improve pedestrian visibility, specifically at busy intersections like the one that we are at where a parked car may make it more difficult to see a small child or an elderly adult. now, san francisco, as many of us know, has limited parking. this will cut down on that even more. sfmta estimates that about 5% of the city's 275,000 parking spaces on the street will be impacted. drivers will start getting warnings for violations, as i mentioned. penalties will begin next year. now, in neighborhoods close to stores, restaurants and other commercial areas like the one that we are in, the loss of parking could make it difficult for convenient spaces, though those rules do not affect outdoor dining areas. i know that is another concern,

possibly for businesses here in the west portal area. the goal of these new parking rules is to make progress on vision zero and pedestrian fatalities, such as a fatal accident that took place near oracle park last year that killed a four year old in a stroller. the force of that crash from a car making a right turn at an intersection. it crushed the stroller. it sent the girl's father flying into the roadway. he suffered critical injuries in that case. now back out live. we're at this intersection where it is clear that it may take some time for drivers to get used to these new rules, because you can see this intersection not specifically marked, but there are going to be questioned, you know, questions around this. what is 20ft? that is typically they say, the length of a car that you can put between you and the intersection. today we'll start to see how this all plays out. violations are in place, but not the actual enforcement, which

will start at $40 an hour, $40 per violation starting next year. we're live in san francisco, ginger conejero saab. today in the bay. all right. good morning there. thank you. ginger. the diocese of oakland is formulating controversial plans for survivors trust. this is as it emerges from chapter 11 bankruptcy. oakland's catholic bishop michael barber announced the bankruptcy filing about 18 months ago, citing a slew of sex abuse with children lawsuits. now, as part of the reorganization plan, all claims will be consolidated into court supervised settlements. once that plan is confirmed, the trust would provide compensation of at least $160 million to settle about 350 claims going back decades. one victim's attorney, meanwhile, claims the church is purposely undervaluing its assets and the plan is being forced upon survivors. later today, alameda county's registrar is expected to provide an updated count on the results of the pamela price recall. nbc bay area has still not called

the race, but price at this point appears to be well behind in the vote count, with workers spending the entire weekend counting additional ballots. if a yes vote becomes certified, supervisors would then appoint an interim to serve the remaining two years of the term. we're tracking all of those local results on our website to get updates anytime. be sure to download our free nbc bay area app. well, this veteran's day, one east bay woman later today says that a final farewell to her father she never knew. and it actually comes 80 years after he died in world war two. today in the bay's bob redell joins us live this morning and bob, eight decades later, she and her family finally have a little bit of closure. correct. good morning to you, marcus and laura. her father, lieutenant herman j. son said he was in the army. he was fighting in world war two, and sadly, he was killed and declared missing in action. well, this past june, his remains were finally accounted for. and in a story

you'll only see on our station, nbc bay area, his remains were flown to the bay area this past friday, and this weekend you can see traffic came to a stop in walnut creek as lieutenant sunny was honored with a procession for a fallen soldier and his remains reunited with his daughter, diane robin of clayto. now carbine, who is now 80 years old, was born a month after her father was killed while serving as a member of a composite unit known as merrill's marauders. growing up, carbine always wanted to know more about the man she never got to meet. i have felt his spirit with me all my life, but i've never touched him before. never met him before. but i did tonight. a lot of tears today. a lot of awesome. he was just. just to meet him, you know, he didn't go to my walk me down the aisle for my wedding or anything, but this was just incredibly honorable.

it is not clear why it took so long to return the lieutenant's remains, but for decades, the family was told her father's remains were unrecoverable until june of this year, when his remains were accounted for. shortly after, a soldier met with carbine to give her the good news and to coordinate his return. later today, the family will enter his remains at a cemetery in lafayette. reporting live, bob redell today in a touching story for that family. thank you bob. 538 this morning, let's take a live look out in san francisco. and you can see, as kara has been telling us, the rain has arrived. how long is it sticking around? meteorologist kari hall has a look at that. kari. this is mostly a morning early afternoon event clearing out by this evening, but it is a sloppy morning commute as we take a live look outside in oakland. and as you're heading out, you do need the windshield wipers. it hasn't yet made it to san jose, but we will see the showers arriving by about 9:00. here and it will be early with

some of the rain and cool temperatures, but we're also watching some sierra snow that will make it down to about 6000ft. and then rain chances continue for midweek into the weekend. here's a look at some of the heavier rain that we can see with this storm system arriving. it's a cold front that will bring us a drop in temperatures overnight, but we're seeing a lot of the rain in parts of the east bay from 680 over toward 880, and it will be raining for a few more hours here. and getting even heavier. we're also seeing that rain near the coast and in the santa cruz mountains. watching all of this wet weather arriving and continuing to bring us about a quarter to half inch of rainfall throughout the morning. and mike taking us back to the bay bridge for a look at that commute. yeah, i would have taken the shot from the emeryville camera looking at the span, because there's something going on on the span, but we can't see it because of the low clouds and the mist and the rain in the area. so there you go. the conditions on the roadway, a little bit more volume of traffic heading across the span.

there's some slowing around the treasure island tunnel. reports of a crash there. again, can't tell you if it's in the tunnel or if it's just before, but judging by that slowing, there may be some activity just before folks get into the tunnel near the off ramp. but we're watching a little bit of a build. again, this is a holiday is a lighter volume of traffic around the bay. we have eastbound 24 with a crash still on the grid, but traffic is flowing seemingly smoothly past wilder and toward the caldecott. there's a crash around mare island, but traffic is still going westbound in your commute direction. typical bit of slowing early in the commute, but it hasn't gotten any worse over the last 20 minutes. that's a smooth drive for highway four and an easy flow, but watch those conditions. as we talked about throughout the area. a nice drive out of the altamont pass with just a minor break, taps barely any slowing there, again indicating the lighter traffic flow. south bay doesn't show that first burst just yet, and i don't think we're going to see it really this morning. the second one might kick in, of course, at 640. remember downtown at noon? we have that veterans day parade. i've posted information to the parade site on my social media. you can get information about parking

downtown as well. keep that in mind. and look, there's barely any slowing coming out of san martin, indicating lighter traffic. back to you. thank you. mike. 541 for you, this morning, sharing her emotions for the first time since the pair's olympic games coming up this morning, jordan chiles in an exclusive interview and her feelings on being stripped of the bronze medal and president elect trump starts naming some names, including the person who will be in charge of the huge roundup of people living in america. plus, we offer a way for service members to video record themselves reading stories to the family members that they have left behind. helping military families through deployment one book at a time. unique event for veterans. bringing joy to local school children as well. you're watcnghi

live. look outside in walnut creek, where it may be sprinkling, but we are going to stay cloudy and the heavier rain making it to the east bay. at this point at about 9:00 and getting heavier at 10:00. we're still going to see some lingering showers around noon, but clearing up this evening. early morning rain for parts of the north bay already coming down. so we'll be tracking this for all of our microclimates coming up. yeah. stick with kari for the timeline because look over here. palo alto has been untouched by this rain. smooth drive, easy light traffic flow as we expect this federal holiday. but over here in

oakland, again, lighter traffic, but the rain. definitely having an impact on the pavement. there may be some slicker roadways, so be prepared just because you can drive faster doesn't mean you should. 5:45. right now, the washington post reports president elect donald trump and russian president vladimir putin has spoken by phone. scott mcgrew with us this morning here. and, scott. under normal circumstances, this would be just a routine phone call. yeah, it happens all the time. a call between two leaders, right? one leader calling to congratulate another leader. except in this case, the kremlin is denying this happened at all. the post reports the two did talk and that trump warned putin not to escalate the war in ukraine. this, the post says, is, according to several people familiar with the call. nbc is working on matching that, reporting the escalation could come any time the general in charge of ukrainian forces says the russians and north koreans have massed 50,000 soldiers preparing for a strike. that

attack could come in days. meantime, the white house may ask congress for one more round of funding before time runs out on president biden. here's the national security adviser speaking on the sunday morning shows walking away from ukraine means more instability in europe and ultimately, as the japanese prime minister said, if we walk away from ukraine, in europe, the question about america's commitment to our allies in asia will grow. now there's word out of washington. president elect trump may nominate this man. alabama congressman mike rogers, for secretary of defense. he's a longtime member of the house armed services committee. and interestingly, he is a big supporter of ukraine. over the weekend, the president elect said he would choose former immigration and customs director tom homan as border czar that would oversee the roundup of millions of undocumented immigrants. trump has used a number between 5 and 30 million people living in america

illegally. now, border czar is not an official title. it's not exactly clear what title homan would hold. it's a media created term for people placed in charge of something like the border or war on drugs. trump kept claiming kamala harris was biden's border czar. she never was. we also learned over the weekend that former trump officials nikki haley and mike pompeo will not be invited to serve in a new administration. trump making that announcement on social media. haley, you remember, ran against trump for the republican nomination for president and criticized trump for mocking members of the u.s. military, including her own husband. we can't have someone who sits there and mocks our men and women who are trying to protect america. it's a pattern. it's a pattern of chaos. it's a pattern of irresponsibility. it's a pattern of just saying things that are that are not helpful in strengthening americ. nbc reports the justice department will pivot to concentrate on prosecuting the most serious offenders of the

january 6th attacks before president elect becomes president, particularly those who attacked law enforcement. trump has indicated he may pardon those who attacked the capitol. looking ahead on the week, republicans in the senate will vote to elect their next senate majority leader. now that they've won the senate back, longtime leader mitch mcconnell is retiring from his position. though he will serve the remainder of his term as senato. still no word on which party will lead the house. that is because of this incredibly slow counting of the vote, particularly laura. out of california, to do it right, though. all right. thank you scott. team usa gymnast jordan chiles speaking out for the first time about her battle to reclaim a bronze medal. she lost, then won, and then lost again in paris. the drama played out during the women's individual floor exercise. chiles moved into third place after challenging the score of one of her elements, the sports

arbitration court later moved her down to fifth after ruling the challenge was submitted four seconds late. chiles was then asked to return her medal for the romanian gymnast, who moved into third place. chiles is taking talking in an exclusive interview with the today show, and says she's fighting for what she calls her peace and justice. it's hard to tell yourself that everything is going to be fine when you know you feel like you literally like we didn't do anything wrong. everything was very right. everything was in the time that it needed to be, and for them to come back and say that it was four seconds late. when we've had proof, we've had everything that really can show that everything was right. chiles right now is appealing her case to the swiss federal tribunal with the hopes of reclaiming her bronze medal. you can see her emotional interview in its entirety, including the evidence she says proves her challenge was

submitted in time. that's ahead on the today show at 7 a.m, right after today in the bay. well, as the holidays approach, more families are facing some tough choices when it comes to paying bills and putting food on the table. volunteers at second harvest silicon valley telling us that they are now serving about half a million people each month, and many are skipping meals or turning to fast food when they can't stretch the paychecks far enough. oftentimes, we'll hear stories from folks who have been donors, and then suddenly they're in need of help. and they're so grateful for the assistance. of course, many times people are back on their feet again, and they become donors and volunteers. so really, that's what i love about this work is it really is about everybody in the community coming together to make a real impact right here locally. here's the thing. second harvest can turn every dollar donation into two meals. they can do that thanks to the help from volunteer labor, donated food from retailers, and less than perfect produce from local farms. they also get deals on buying in bulk, but two

thirds of their funding comes from people just like you watching now. nbc bay area and telemundo 48. kicking off our nourishing neighbors food drive at local safeway stores to help get the word out. and we will be live over at the rivermark safeway store in santa clara the morning of saturday, november 16th. you can stop by and say hello, but you can also make that donation if you can. it's greatly appreciated and go a long way. that's right. well, on this veterans day, we feature one organization answering the call to help families stay connected despite the distance of deployment. for 35 years now, united through reading has recorded videos of service members reading stories. the recordings are then sent to children and loved ones at home, along with a copy of the book, so they can follow along. the nonprofit says it can really help create the feeling of a treasured family ritual, especially with some of the younger families. what we hear is, you know, when the person you know, the service member leaves it really disrupts that family routine. so this is a way

for them to have that deployed or away service. member available on demand. any time somebody in the family is missing them, missing that connection, they can just pull up those videos and see them and hear their voice. what a treat to hear their voice. well, not only that, but to honor veterans day. this week, more than 100 california schools will get their own story time with a service member. for more information on either program, head to united through reading.org. love it. all right. and if you're looking for a way to honor veterans, today, san jose will host its 106th annual veterans day parade. it is considered the largest veterans day parade in northern california. this is video from previous parade and today's pre ceremony starts at 11 a.m. over at the plaza de cesar chavez. the parade through downtown begins one hour later. all right. it's a nice celebration. they have there. maybe bring your umbrella, though. absolutely. and we are going to see some off and on showers. not a really big downpour enough to keep you from going, but we are going to have to watch out for

that wet weather. and it does start at about 11:00 and then starts to lighten up. hopefully it will clear as the parade goes on. at 1:00 we are going to see a mix of sun and clouds, but it will be chilly out there as this cold front comes in and will continue to sweep across the bay area going into later this morning. we're already seeing that rain approaching 680 right now in the east bay from danville all the way down to past dublin and sunol. we are also seeing some light to moderate rain over the santa cruz mountains and moving closer to los gatos. as we go through our hour by hour forecast. the north bay seeing some of the rain moving through by 830 to 9:00, and then it continues to move into san francisco. parts of the east bay and approaching san jose at 11:00. and then by early in the afternoon, we're seeing it clearing in the north bay, but it will still be raining in the east bay to the peninsula, and then eventually clearing out later this evening. and then by tonight, the temperatures will be dropping as

that cold front moves in. as far as how much rain we could see, it could be a pretty good soaking here with about a half inch of rain possible from oakland to mill valley. and then for san francisco, about 3/10 of an inch of rainfall and a quarter inch for much of the rest of the east bay, as well as the south bay. so for morgan hill timing, it out for you, it's 48 degrees right now. it will be mostly cloudy. the rain starts at 10:00 and gets heavier by noon and continuing into the early afternoon, with our high only up to about 62 degrees. so a lot of these numbers well below what's normal for this time of year. it's going to be a cool start to the weekend. even though it's dry tomorrow. it's only slightly warmer in santa rosa. we're looking at a high tomorrow afternoon of 66 and 64 in oakland, going through the rest of the forecast. more rain coming our way. so tuesday is dry, but the next system arrives on wednesday and may bring in some lingering showers on thursday as well as friday, the weekend we do get a break from

the wet weather, but there will be more coming next week, possibly a more significant storm system moving in next monday. so we're starting out our week and our veterans day with some light showers getting heavier by late morning clearing out this evening. tuesday is looking good and it will be a touch warmer on wednesday. that's as more rain will be moving in during the afternoon. mike, how are the conditions at the golden gate bridge? kari even though you showed that weather moving over in towards 680, we're showing still slicker conditions because the rain has fallen on the golden gate bridge. you see that water kicking up, but that means less traction there. those tires are doing their work. we see some rain at richmond bridge and some slowing highway 37. this crash is counter commute heading away from mare island toward vallejo, but still, we're watching these smaller crashes around the bay. i did just hear about one on highway 13 around park. sounds like a solo spin out again. watch those slick roadways, but traffic volume is light around the bay, keeping these sensors green. back to you. thanks, mike. well, happening now. police in fairfield cracking

down on illegal cannabis farms over the weekend. officers announcing the seizure of 8000 plants from eight homes over the past four months. police and state agents there have already issued nearly $4 million in fines. while it's legal to grow small amounts of cannabis in california, large scale cultivation still tightly regulated. south bay mailboxes targeted by thieves again and again. coming up at 6:00. one resident certainly fed up. only on nbc bay area. the extreme steps he's taking to track down his stolen mail. and don't forget nbc bay area streams 24/7. you can watch us whenever you like on roku or other streaming platforms. a lot more news ahead on this monday morning, verans day. you'reet
