structuring the discount airline declares bankruptcy overnight. what travelers will need to know ahead of the busy holiday travel season. while you were sleeping, president elect donald trump mass deportation plan taking shape. the new promises he's making involving the u.s. military, plus, i think we need

a lot more regulations on that. like we need more screening on that so that they don't get put on shelves in the first place. an e coli outbreak leads to a nationwide recall. we're live this morning with the california farm now at the center of the investigation. this is today in the bay. 6:00 on your monday morning. thanks for starting your day with us. i'm laura garcia. and i'm marcus washington. we'll get a look at that commute with mike coming up in just a bit. but first let's start out with that forecast for us. kari, how's it feeling out there? it feels it feels? yes. we've had these cold mornings. it continues today. a lot of our temperatures are in the 40s, but when the north bay, we're seeing it near or even below freezing to start in palo alto. it's 48 degrees with a light wind and all calm in san jose, with our morning start in the upper 40s. as we take a look at what to expect in dublin. it is a clear morning and we'll see sunshine throughout the day and

temperatures going from 50 degrees to upper 50s kind of on the cool side even for this time of year. so we're going to see highs cooler than normal, lots of sunshine and a light wind. tomorrow is also dry, but then by wednesday we're tracking the arrival of our first major storm of the season. i'll have a look at that timeline coming up. and mike, you have an update on that crash in san jose? yeah, we have the build of a first phase of our commute is easing off now, but we still have that crash north 101 at 87 blocking your fast lane. so there's still more slowing than you might expect. starting about oakland road, heading up past the airport and the merge with guadalupe parkway. everything else for the south bay. looking all right as far as those speed sensors go. southbound 880. there is a crash at stevenson. in fact, i heard there were two separate crashes leading to about five vehicles involved. so a spectacle. i believe only one lane might be blocked. as you travel past the scene, but that is slowing through. fremont. the crash or the disabled vehicle did clear from the bay bridge, and now it's just the morning commute. back to you. all right. thanks, mike. well, we are following

some breaking news this morning. spirit airlines officially declaring bankruptcy. the struggling airline filed for chapter 11 as it deals with mounting losses, including growing debt and failed merger with jetblue. spirit says it has secured a deal with bondholders to keep the company afloat. the airline is promising ticket sales and other operations will continue as normal. now scott mcgrew is following what this all means for the future of the company. we'll have an update for us in his business and tech segment coming up in just a bit. also breaking at this hour, president elect donald trump confirming he is prepared to declare a national emergency and use the military to carry out his promised mass deportations. overnight, trump responded to a truth social post saying that true to the post, which states that trump would declare a national emergency for his promised mass deportation program. it is a program which focuses on the southern border. today, in the bay's barry jackson is following the latest on his transition back to the oval office. reporter. president

elect trump with a ringside view of the u.s. sea fight over the weekend as the country gets a clearer picture of his picks for key roles in his new administration. trump's latest is fossil fuel executive chris wright as energy secretary. he's argued that the climate crisis is a myth. you get the truth from people who. this comes amid news that mr. trump's pick for defense secretary. pete hegseth paid a woman an undisclosed amount of money after she accused him of sexual assault. seth's attorney says his client is completely innocent of what he calls a consensual encounter. lawmakers also raised alarms about seth's past comments that the military should not have women in combat roles. there is deep concern, but also a deep opportunity to sort of make sure we are putting only qualified people in these jobs. there's also controversy surrounding trump's choice for attorney general matt gaetz. some lawmakers want the house ethics

committee to release its report into allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use. gaetz denies wrongdoing and resigned from congress last week. some republicans argue the report should not be released. the jurisdiction of the ethics committee is limited to those who are serving in the institution. i believe the senate should have access to that now. should it be released to the public or not? that that's i guess that will be part of the negotiations. democrats are also blasting trump's selections, including robert kennedy jr, as health and human services secretary. these nominations are insane and crazy. congress gearing up for a battle over cabinet selections in washington, brie jackson nbc news. important news. before you pack that lunch this morning. developing right now, the fda is investigating a new e coli outbreak. this one is tied to carrots, and at least one person has died. today in the bay's bob redell joins us live this

morning. bob, do we know where these carrots were sold? we do. they were sold at stores like walmart, trader joe's, sprouts and target. good morning to you, laura. they came from grimmway farms. that's based in bakersfield. the e coli was found in select bagged, organic, whole and baby carrots. the whole carrots alone are sold under 15 different names, including bunny love and o organics. the cdc says the outbreak has been reported in 18 different states. it did kill one person and sickened almost four dozen more, including at least three people here in california. san jose state food safety expert todd engstrom says e coli comes from the intestines of animals. if you're not familiar and can sometimes be passed on to produce through contaminated water. it seems to be an ongoing problem, and it's somewhat alarming, especially when dealing with raw vegetables that people aren't cooking becomes really problematic, and

cross-contamination from that pathogen going from one surface to another can be really, really challenging, especially on the home front. symptoms of e coli contamination poisoning include diarrhea, stomach cramps, and fever, but can also be much more serious. children, the elderly and people with compromised immune system. they are most at risk. the outbreak comes on the heels of an e coli outbreak back in october that sickened more than 100 mcdonald's customers. it was traced to slivered onions from taylor farms in salinas. grimmway says that the contaminated carrots are no longer on store shelves, but if you have them at home, you want to throw those away. reporting live, bob redell today in the bay. got to check the fridge. thank you very much, bob. 607 right now. new at 6:00. governor newsom has reportedly closed in on a new home in marin valued at more than $9 million. marin county sf standard reports he just purchased a home in

flooding and big sierra snow coming our way as we see this storm getting its act together out in the pacific, it's going to be reaching into the bay area starting on wednesday, so i'll have more on that timeline coming up. mike's been tracking lower gas prices around the bay. yeah, lower. not just here, though. the rest of the state pushed us off the top ten list. still, livermore is on. our role is on a roll with our best, though. 349 at marathon on home street. next up in the middle here. san jose shows up for 375 at dimond gas and market on south winchester boulevard. and the best price for a quick fill up in san francisco. you head to speedway on cesar chavez street. 389 a gallon there. go ahead and check for those changes in your area or wherever you're going to fill up. that's gasbuddy.com. on the roadways, we're still tracking a number of incidents. we'll show you the slowdown. southbound 880 coming down into fremont out of union city. we have this crash or actually two crashes at stevenson, and it sounds like we still have it in

the middle of the roadway, from what we can tell. we'll track that. no major injuries, but that is leading to some more slowing into the south bay. in the south bay north 101. at 87, it looks like they may be moving things to the shoulder. speeds are greatly improving there by the airport. back to you. thanks, mike. 609. this morning, a bay area private school teacher fired. she says it was for pins she wore supporting palestinians, but some wonder if it infringes on free speech. well, coming up for you at 625, we investigate celebrity lookalike competitions are exploding coast to coast. when we return the new challenge in the east bay, calling on the doppelgangers for an oakland starlet. you won't want to miss it. you're watching today in the bay.

fight on friday night. paul ruled the winner after a not particularly active bout. the fight before the title card, though, became the most watched women's sporting event. 72,000 people watched it in person at cowboys stadium. netflix getting into live sports. you know, they got two games on christmas, which i think everyone is looking forward to. that's right. pretty big name. yeah. and speaking of that, christmas day game, let's talk about this because netflix securing a big one time performer there. yes we're talking about beyonce. yes. let's move it on up for us this morning as we talk about this. because beyonce is heading back to houston for the holidays. take a look. here. but let me make myself up. queen bee is performing the half time show. this is during the texans matchup against the ravens. it will be streamed on netflix. now, this will be the superstar's first live performance of those songs from her 11 time grammy nominated album, cowboy carter. beyonce is

expected to bring some special guests on stage as well. game starts at 130 in the afternoon on christmas day. quite a show. i'm sure it will be. i'm sure it will. but you know, that song says this ain't texas. well, technically it will be. texas is who? all right, 616 for you this morning. also trending one oakland a-lister now subject of a celebrity lookalike craze. so check out this post on reddit. it is a flier promoting a zendaya lookalike contest. it will happen wednesday at oakland's wilma chan park at 1230. the winner is being promised $40, along with shampoo and conditioner. the other recent contests include one in new york city for timothee chalamet and dev patel contest that was in san francisco, and most recently, one yesterday in chicago for the bear star jeremy allen white. it's kind of fun to see everybody. it is. i think they should push for equal pay, though. the other prizes were 50 bucks, but they didn't get the

shampoo. that's true. that's true. i'm sure it's more than $10. so boom, there you have it. good stuff. all right. all righ. all right. for weather, for them out there on wednesday. it looks good, i guess. i mean, you know, you want to get out there early, but we're going to see some rain coming in, and it's much needed rain. we just don't want it all at once. so we're starting out cold as you're heading out mainly in the north bay. we're seeing temperatures in the 30s. look at santa rosa. now we're down to 35 degrees. it is 43. in fremont and 49 in san jose. san mateo checking in at 49. let's get a look at these high temperatures that are going to top out at 60 in los gatos, 59 in san jose. we've seen a lot of these temperatures, but this is cooler than normal. only 60 in danville and in oakland. mostly sunny today. upper 50s for the coast into much of the peninsula. san francisco reaching a high of 62 downtown, but mostly 50s and 60. in santa rosa and bodega bay, about the same. so we're looking at some

cool temperatures to start with. this storm that will be approaching for the middle of the week. as of now, we're seeing the rain across the pacific northwest. eventually, this storm system is going to drop in and we'll see. it just kind of waving back and forth across the region. so that's going to make it really hard to time out exactly when it's going to be raining. it just starts out on wednesday and just lingers over the region from wednesday into thursday, friday, saturday, sunday, monday. you see that we are going to have several days of rain off and on, and this is going to bring us a lot of rainfall that will add up day by day, and rainfall totals farther to the north, north of calistoga and up toward ukiah. the yellow that's six inches of rainfall. and that's between wednesday and saturday. it looks like it may continue beyond that point in the pink in the north bay. that's about three inches of rainfall. and then for areas south parts of the peninsula into the south bay, about two

and a half to possibly closer to three inches of rainfall. while we're getting the rain, the sierras getting the snow. and this could really help jump off the ski season and get those resorts opening right in time for thanksgiving. we're going to see heavy snow before the weekend and more coming next week. in total, there could be about two feet of snow for south lake tahoe and possibly closer to five feet of snow in some spots. so we're going to see that once again, really help start off the ski season and also give the bay area a wildfire ending season rainfall. so we're going to see this into the weekend. heavy rainfall as well as gusty winds. and our temperatures in the 60s for much of the week. and it will be cool in san francisco as that rain begins on wednesday. mike, there may be another issue on the bay bridge. yeah. kari we've been tracking this. the first one cleared at just past treasure island. things recovered on the span, but look how things are really jamming up. i've been watching. i don't see those

flashing lights here anymore, but between the tower and the tunnel we had flashing lights again arriving and a lot of jam right around this curve, so we'll double check. chp had no new incidents to report on the span, but we do see a slower drive here. of course, there's a bigger backup and they may have slowed down the metering lights. if anything is going on. they see the berkeley curve more compressed as well. highway 37 highway 4 showing your traditional building now over out of richmond, across the bridge towards san rafael. typical pattern there here. atypical. more slowing than you would expect. south of the dumbarton bridge. there may be a second crash as you're heading south this crash. two crashes at stevenson still blocked one lane with five vehicles, maybe more involved. a lot of activity heading south through fremont. 680 is fine through fremont and south of mission. everything seems okay. crash still on the grid 101 at 87, but not presenting any major issue over here. 101 heading south through san rafael. shows you what's going on. that sunrise is coming up that will get you in the eye. so bring those sunglasses, or at least put down the shade. back to you. thanks. 621 for you this

progressive politics. but this morning, senior investigative

reporter bigad shaban explains how one polarizing issue is pushing the limits of free speech at schools and where you work. good morning. the war in gaza continues to test the boundaries of free speech here at home. we want to introduce you to a longtime english teacher, aaron donovan, who was recently fired from her oakland high school, not because of something she taught, but something she wore a free palestine pin. the principal of the high school told her some students felt uncomfortable and said the pin created a negative impact on their ability to learn. the school repeatedly asked her to stop wearing the pin, but she refused. donovan says she wore it to show solidarity with students who may be grieving about the ongoing humanitarian crisis in gaza. ever since hamas attacked that music festival in israel and surrounding villages more than a year ago, both pro-israel and pro-palestine groups report a spike in complaints from u.s. employees who say they've been made to feel uncomfortable

because of their personal stance on the gaza war. over the past year, college campuses have been blanketed by protests and encampments in response to the conflict, which has led to some universities implementing new rules to limit protesting, which some constitutional law experts believe could be regarded as an infringement to free speech. now we delve into all of this in our full investigation, which you can watch right now. that's at nbc bay area.com/investigations with the investigative unit. i'm bigad shaban. thank you bigad. we've got a lot more ahead at 630, including a new push to help teachers make it in the bay. the one of a kind housing opportunity set to break ground today. we're live at sfo. this morning. thanksgiving holiday travel forecast are out. we'll run that through with you up ahead, including when you should and should not hit the road.

going to look at what's prompting the order and what it means if you're heading to the doctor's office. plus, the thanksgiving travel rush is setting new records this year. we're live this morning with new data tracking the times to avoid heading out this is today in the bay. here we go. monday morning, quickly approaching 630. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. and i'm marcus washington. it's time to get a look at that forecast for you this morning. meteorologist kari hall has been tracking those temperatures for us. cold start there, but a beautiful sunrise. it is a beautiful sunrise this morning as we're getting started and you walk outside. does it feel so beautiful right now? but we are going to have a nice day. and temperatures going from upper 30s and low 40s to the upper 50s today. yes, it will be a cool day. probably keep the jacket on throughout the afternoon with a light wind and a lot of our temperatures. a little bit lower than what we typically see for the middle of november, a high of 59. in

morgan hill, while we're going to see a high of 60 in santa rosa. not much of a range here, but we are looking at a fairly mild week. but then the rain arrives on wednesday, so we'll be timing that out for you. mike is checking that backup coming out of richmond. yeah, it's forming right on schedule here for a monday. we're looking at the maps and the live shot here. you see the backup at the toll plaza? getting out of richmond and getting through richmond. you see the slowing from pinole all the way down in through berkeley and continuing on to the berkeley curve. things have calmed down quite a bit, though. whatever disabled vehicle or other situation was on the span, we spotted those flashing lights. west 80. looks like things are smoothing out once again back to the normal morning commute. we are looking at more slowing. the earlier crash at stevenson has cleared both crashes there. there is a crash in that slow drive in the backup around thornton that should be clearing soon as well. so south of highway 84, 80 jams up, but 680 moves pretty smoothly after you get through sunol. the south bay a nice easy drive. there may be a new crash on 237 getting over towards sunnyvale. there's the north bay with a smooth

drive southbound with those taillights past through san rafael. back to you. thanks, mike. well, breaking news this morning out of san jose. where police now confirming an officer involved shooting which followed calls from a family disturbance. now, this happened when officers say that the suspect threatened them with a knife and an officer fired. it happened around 8:00 last night near south first and sutter streets. here is a live look for you at the scene there. now, the suspect has then barricaded themselves inside the home. officers eventually moved in for the arrest. that suspect is now in critical condition. a two block radius of sutter street remains closed at this hour. happening today. another bay area county is enacting a mask mandate. but before you blame covid era practices, you should know that it was a policy long before the pandemic. today in the bay's kris sanchez joining us now with more on why now for sonoma county? kris. well, as you might know, we are in peak respiratory virus season. and while cases are

holding steady around california, sonoma county is asking its health care workers to mask up in order to stay on the job during one of the busiest times of year. now, for years before the pandemic, sonoma county used a mask mandate for doctors, nurses and other providers to limit the spread of viruses like the flu and rsv and bacterial infections like whooping cough. now, several other counties enacted mask mandates starting november 1st. so in alameda, contra costa, santa clara, san mateo and napa counties, you've probably already seen your health care providers wearing masks anytime that they're dealing with patients in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and other health care facilities. we need our health care workers during the winter. the winter is the time when we see many more patients per day, and we want to be sure we have a whole and healthy workforce. now, while covid levels are low and flu levels are also low, right now, cases of respiratory syncytial virus or rsv are

starting to increase. and as we know with holiday gatherings and travel ahead, we could still see those cases go up. now, if you have not gotten your covid or flu shots yet, you are not too late. but you should act quickly if you want to get one, because it takes your body a few weeks to build immunity so you can still get some protection in time for thanksgiving. now, the cdc recommends vaccination, particularly for children under five and adults 65 and older. pregnant women and all people with underlying health conditions such as heart diseas, diabetes, asthma or who are immunocompromised of the respiratory virus season. you know, we used to call it flu season. now there are more bugs rotating around that generally peaks in february. laura. all right. try to stay healthy. thanks, chris. 634 right now, the city of pacifica today takes a new step in helping more teachers make it in the bay. crews are breaking ground on a new affordable housing project. it will be located at what's

called the ottestad property on ottestad boulevard. it's currently a group of old buildings which used to serve as a school and later an athletic venue, and community center. the city hopes it will assist in better recruitment and retainment of teachers and staff at pacifica schools. the groundbreaking is planned for 4:00 this afternoon. we continue to follow the breaking news where spirit airlines filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. this comes as the company is struggling with losses and growing debt, and a failed merger with jetblue. spirit says that it has secured a deal with bondholders to keep the company afloat. ticket sales and all other operations will continue as normal. new this morning, new numbers projecting record travel over the thanksgiving holiday. some 80 million americans will be on the move, including record numbers they think in the air. yes, a lot of folks there today in the bay's ginger conejero saab live for us over at sfo this morning. and ginger, the travel period also extended for the first time this year. that's right. marcus

and laura, we're getting in the holiday spirit of things. i guess you can say, even with the lights behind us here at sfo, they're already red and green, but we are talking about the thanksgiving travel period. as you mentioned, it's been extended from the tuesday before thanksgiving to the monday after. so that might explain the boost in numbers. but nonetheless, it's looking like a busy time to travel. around 80 million people projected to travel 50 miles or more this thanksgiving travel period. that's up 1.7 million people from last year. 2 million more than 2019. now, of that 80 million, almost 6 million will fly domestically for the holiday. let's talk about driving to your holiday destination from that 80 million triple a projects a record 72 million people will travel by car. a lot of people, that's an additional 1.3 million travelers on the road, which also surpasses pre-pandemic levels. there's good news for those planning on hitting the road. gas prices will be lower this

year. i think we're going to see $3 a gallon national average by thanksgiving. overnight, it was about 3.7. now, last year, the national average was 3.26. so that's already lower than last year's average. there are the best times and the worst times to hit the road. as we all know, the general rule is try to get out around 10 or 11 in the morning. on the days leading up to thanksgiving, and if you're lucky enough that you can extend your thanksgiving break all the way until that monday, you are suggested advised to leave before 8:00 in the morning, or then you can wait until after 7 p.m. so it's pretty extended break there, guys. triple a and its partners do have a more specific breakdown by metro on their website. we're live at sfo. ginger conejero saab today in the bay. but if you're going nowhere, just stay in the bed and watch nbc bay area all day. yeah that's right. thanks, ginger. well, kari, you brought

up a good point. a lot of kids are actually off all next week. or at least, you know, a certain chunks of days. but a lot of people may travel. they may be traveling, starting this weekend. so if that's the case, there will be a big storm coming in and you will have to maybe plan around the weather that we are going to see arriving, because it could definitely delay you getting somewhere or even a flight. getting out of the bay area. we're going to start to see the rain picking up on wednesday into thursday, and this atmospheric river is just going to be waving back and forth across the region, hitting southern california on saturday into sunday. and it looks like at least here, we're going to start to see the weather clearing up for early next week. but still having to watch what's happening elsewhere across the country. and a look out at the next ten days for san jose. at least temperature wise, it's going to be cool and the warmest day will be on this thursday and next week. we may only make it into the low 60s as we get the off and on showers at least into monday, so i'll be tracking that for you. mike, it seems like

it's looking a little bit more like what we expect at the bay bridge. yeah, the pattern at the bay bridge. we did have a lot of slowing in these hov lanes until just a few minutes ago. because of that disabled vehicle, whatever was causing the slowing for a short period of time across that flat section, heading over in toward the bay bridge treasure island tunnel, things have greatly improved there, and they've brought those metering lights back to what looks like your typical pace slowing through richmond, north bay highway 37 east bay. look at contra costa county highway four and now pushing down 242. there may be a new crash coming down through concord will track that. meanwhile, i want to give you a look ahead. remember that the last overnight, last night and every night through thursday, they will have this traffic control highway 37 and lakeville highway. they're working on the drainage before that rain comes in. hopefully they can complete the project again. i said through thursday. but kari is talking about those systems changing as early as wednesday, so we'll watch that area. at least one crash over at thornton for southbound 880, slowing you down in toward fremont. back to you. thanks, mike. daring rescue in san francisco. this after a man gets trapped on a cliff.

air rescue in san francisco. it happened on a cliffside near baker beach yesterday. the chp posted a clip on social media showing crews pluck a man from the cliff and safely hoist him to the beach below. the man was not injured. president biden has given permission for the ukrainians and to fire a medium range american missiles into russian. scott mcgrew joins us now. the u.s. and ukraine, concerned about the messaging of north korean troops on the border. yeah, yeah, well, there

are a lot of north korean troops on that ukrainian border. with any luck, they can hit them. the ukrainians can. with those american missiles. they're called atacms. it's an acronym. ukraine has been itching to send those missiles into russian territory, though military experts say ukraine has done a pretty good job using long range drones as a replacement. biden has resisted giving permission, as he was concerned it would cause russia to escalate the war, maybe even against nato. but here they go. president biden, meantime, in brazil for the g20 conference on sunday, he became the first sitting u.s. president to visit the amazon rainforest because the fight to protect our planet is literally a fight for humanity for generations to come. it may be the only existential threat to all our nations. incoming president trump, meantime, confirmed on his social media something he's said in the past he will declare a national emergency, send u.s. troops to protect the border. state national guards already make

regular appearances in texas and arizona, but active duty is different under the law. trump says 20 to 30 million undocumented immigrants will be deported. trump is standing by his proposed secretary of defense, pete hegseth, who it's been reported, was under investigation after an alleged sexual assault in monterey at a republican women's conference in 2017. no charges were filed. hegseth lawyers confirmed there was a sexual encounter and that money was paid to the woman under an agreement on a confidential settlement. but the woman, they say, was the aggressor and eyewitnesses. they say, support that claim. the lawyer said, quote, this is a situation where a consensual encounter occurred and unfortunately, the woman had to come up with a lie to explain why the woman had not come back to her husband's room that night. more pressure this morning on the speaker of the house and the house ethics committee to release the report about trump's pick for attorney general, matt gaetz. now, gaetz

had been under investigation accused of sexually trafficking a high school girl, at first by the justice department, later by congress itself. no charges were filed there, either. the speaker says the report should remain under seal because gaetz is no longer a member of congress. tesla's elon musk, who was named as co-chair of a cost cutting effort in the trump administration, says he and vivek ramaswamy will cut so much from the budget, it will be, quote, an extinction level event. ramaswamy promises thousands in reductions in force, a government term for firings and layoffs. are you expecting to close down entire agencies like president trump has talked about the department of education, for example. are you going to be closing down departments? we expect mass reductions. we expect certain agencies to be deleted outright. we expect mass reductions in force in areas of the federal government that are bloated. we expect massive cuts among federal contractors and others who are overbilling the federal

government. so yes, we expect all of the above. and i think people will be surprised by, i think, how quickly we're able to move with some of those changes, how massive will. musk has said they will cut 2 trillion out of the budget, but you can see here when you take out the stuff we have to pay for, like social security, the discretionary budget is less than $2 trillion. this is important context as we listen to musk and ramaswamy's plans to make whole departments extinct. a vast majority of the federal budget a huge amount of the federal budget goes to just three things very few americans, marcus, want to support the cutting these three things. absolutely. all right. scott mcgrew for us this morning, scott. thank you. well, we here at nbc bay area doing our part to help nourish our neighbors this holiday season. members of our today in the bay team, they kicked off our annual food drive over the weekend. mike inouye was up early saturday morning there with janelle wang and raj

mathai over at the safeway along el camino real and menlo park. now the group helped hand out some of. nbc bay area swag, of course, to some of those folks who came in. meanwhile, kari hall was joined by bob redell and jessica aguirre in livermore. there were a total of 167 safeways participating this year in the food drive, so there's really no excuse not to step up and help, especially if you can during this holiday season. a lot of folks need the help out there, and we don't want to go without saying, hey, there's me, along with kris sanchez and liza over one of our teams here. and you know what wonderful time over there at rivermark safeway in santa clara. look, we've been meeting a lot of our today in the bay viewers out there this year. a lot of people came by and they said hello to you as well. i had to go to a wedding this weekend so i wasn't able to participate. but the food drive goes for a while that it does. nourishing neighbors food drive lasting through christmas day, so you have time to get out there and help. so the next time you're over at safeway, you can donate $10 at the checkout counter.

that's going to go a long way. as of last night, though, the food drive has already raised more than $191,000. with several weeks to go and we know that your donations can really make a big difference in the lives of so many people throughout the bay area and their families. all right. always good to see that. you know what else is coming this this friday. yeah. so friday highly anticipated fall blockbuster wicked finally hitting the theaters. but tomorrow night, the countdown officially hits a fever pitch right here on nbc. bay area. so if you care to find me, love to the western sky. and that's when she yells, look at her go behind the scenes glimpse of cynthia erivo performing the high flying stunts for that highly anticipated defying gravity, the musical's most popular song. tomorrow night, nbc airs defying gravity. the curtain rises on wicked. audiences will get to see a little behind the scenes look at what it took to really

bring that movie, magic of oz, to life. that included massive construction across 17 soundstages, four backlots leaving cast members spellbound. the scale is kind of a little hard to really wrap my mind around. i still have not processed any of it like i. this still does not feel like real life to me to be honest. yeah, yeah yeah. until until the movie comes out, i think it will not feel totally real to us. well, it's going to come out around the corner. wicked is distributor of course. is comcast owned by universal? defying gravity. the curtain rises on wicked that airs at 10 p.m. tomorrow night, followed by nbc, bay area news and of course, the film itself comes out this weekend. don't forget we have a behind the scenes look of our own tomorrow morning for you. right here on today in the bay. and also shout out to john chu, who's the director there from the bay area. so there you go. yeah. his parents bringing it back home for his parents over at chef shoes. yeah yeah

yeah. it's a great restaurant there in los altos okay. hey let's check the forecast for today. enjoy. today i understand some rain is coming. yeah. you want to take a little time to prepare for the big changes we have coming for the middle of the week, we are waking up to sunshine this morning as we take a live look outside in palo alto. beautiful orange hues in the sky and it is now 50 degrees there. it's going to be a cool morning and gradually seeing those temperatures rise with a mostly clear sky throughout the day. we'll only make it up to about 59 degrees there, 60 in oakland and 62 in concord. there's not much of a change temperature wise. cold mornings and some fairly cool afternoons, but we'll start to see clouds moving in tomorrow and rain arriving on wednesday. it's all a part of this system that we are seeing, this long line of clouds. this is the atmospheric river that we're going to see. that's the flow of those upper level winds that also taps into some deep tropical moisture. and that brings in for the bay area, about 50% of our annual rainfall. we see these atmospheric rivers coming in.

this one looks like it's on a scale of five, about a three or a four. so this is going to be a significant one. and it kind of stalls out. so it's going to just wave back and forth across the region. there will be times of rain, and then there will be times that we get a bit of a break. but the north bay is going to be in the target for the heaviest rainfall. and notice how the rain stays in the area through friday, saturday, sunday, possibly into monday. so we have several days of rain that's going to be off and on in our forecast. that begins this wednesday. as far as how much we may be seeing with at least the heaviest rainfall in the north bay, where we see the yellows. that's parts of northern sonoma county extending up to lake and mendocino counties, possibly six inches of rainfall here, and then the south bay, possibly getting about 1 to 2in of rain. so this is going to be a heavy rain maker, a heavy snow maker for the sierra and into the sea

about a foot and a half to two feet of snow in some spots, and a lot more coming next week, possibly. so we're going to really start to see our stormy season ramping up, and this is going to be affecting the bay area into the weekend, as well as early next week. we do have a couple of days to prepare, and that's today. and tomorrow before that rain arrives and mike, you are tracking a crash now in fremont. actually, a few crashes. we're looking over here. 880 southbound is fine over as you're approaching tesla. it's just a little farther north where we had two crashes at stevenson and another at thornton. i believe all of them are cleared, at least to the shoulder. there may still be some activity with the distraction and some slowing, but look, there's a good volume of traffic coming down out of san leandro all the way into fremont. and that's typical for the nimitz, as well as 680 showing that build and the slowing through pleasanton. but no problems for that portion of the tri-valley getting across the san mateo bridge. there's a bit of a build. so a little more slowing there. nothing major typical for the east bay as well. back to you. thanks so
