right now at six. an overnight shooting briefly shutting down lanes on the caldecott tunnel. new details. this morning on that investigation. plus a car plows into a security guard booth in a gated community. the deadly crash was captured all on camera. the dramatic video that may play a role in that investigation. and we are on verdict. watch as deliberations resume in the high profile murder trial of nima momeni. this after a mysterious delay last week due to a juror. the outlook this morning from experts who are closely following the case. this is today in the bay. good monday morning. thanks for making us a part of your morning. i'm marcus washington, and i'm laura garcia. we'll get a look at that morning commute with mike in just a little bit, but there's certainly a chill in the air this morning. bundle up if you're headed out the door. yes, it will be a cold morning cold the next few mornings and then mild weather for the afternoons.

this is a live look outside in dublin where we are seeing those temperatures now in the mid 40s, and we will have another chill for the next several hours. and then looking at a beautiful day as it warms up nicely for the afternoon. headed up to about 62 degrees. yes, these temperatures are a little bit cooler than what we had over the weekend. for some of us while in the south county, it will be in the upper 60s today and mid 60s for much of the north bay, and really there's not much change tomorrow as well, but it may be a little bit cooler in some of those inland valleys. so we'll talk more about the changes ahead right now. mike, you've got some unexpected delays as well as the expected. the expected is the bay bridge toll plaza. but let's look at the bigger view of the east bay. typical slowing for richmond 37 here. highway four as well. unusually slow from early on. southbound 242 continues with the jam. there is a crash at the 680 merge there, and that's forcing perhaps some more folks to take this highway four over to 680 junction. taking that corner instead of cutting the

corner because there's a good delay in through concord and into pleasant hill. meanwhile, in the south bay still jammed south 880 toward 237, where i believe only one lane is open. northbound 101. in san jose. so slowing around oakland road, there's a crash southbound at trimble. and so i think that distracts the commute as well. back to you. all right. thank you very much. new overnight, the chp investigating an apparent freeway shooting either inside or near the caldecott tunnel. here's what we know so far. the chp confirms officers are investigating a shooting incident that closed lanes on east bay highway 24 until about 2:00 in the morning near orinda. video from a cruiser shows a car with bullet holes on the shoulder near the tunnel. but so far, the chp is not confirming any details or if there were any victims. and later this morning in san francisco, jurors reconvening to deliberate the fate of nima momeni. he's the man accused of murdering cash app co-founder bob lee today in the bay's bob redell joining us live this morning. okay, so, bob, where do things stand now?

because those jurors are going to head back into their room and figure something out. right? correct. that's the idea. good morning to you, marcus. jurors were off on friday later this morning, they will return to superior court in san francisco for what would be day three of deliberations in the trial of nima momeni. nima momeni is accused of stabbing to death bob lee in april of last year. lee, if you'll recall, is a former tech exec who co-founded cash app. the defense has argued that lee was the one who actually brandished the knife, which he then used in self defense. the jury is considering a single count of murder with an enhancement for using a deadly weapon. legal analyst stephen clark says they have to unanimously agree on that charge to find him guilty, but if they don't, if the jury does not, the judge has advised them they can consider lesser charges, meaning second degree murder or manslaughter. but they typically do. is do is handle the case in

a stair step fashion that they will not get to second degree murder unless they all agree that he is not guilty of first degree murder, and they would not get to voluntary manslaughter unless they all agreed that mr. nima momeni was not guilty of second degree murder as well. on thursday, something unusual did happen with the jury that left 11 of the 12 jurors sitting in a hallway for nearly an hour at a time. they were supposed to be in the jurors room deliberating. our own sergio o quintanalso noticed that the lead defense attorney was sitting outside the courtroom. then the prosecution team with the judge, legal analyst steven clark says the judge was likely asking something of one of those jurors, perhaps what, if anything, did they come into contact with? or is there something going on that they need to talk about with the judge? but the jury did reconvene. they continued deliberating on thursday. that was day two. day three expected to resume around 930 this

morning. again at superior court in san francisco. reporting live. bob redell. today in the bay. all right, bob, thank you. now, when the jury reaches a decision, of course we will break into programing to bring you that verdict. we will also send out breaking news alerts on our nbc bay area app, along with complete coverage at nbcbayarea.com. developing right now. police outside and inside new york city expanding their investigation after the targeted shooting of unitedhealthcare ceo brian thompson over the weekend. they released new images of the suspect. the photos are from a taxi. police believe the shooter took to a bus terminal after the murder and before the trail went cold. that investigation has now expanded to a second state over the weekend. investigators look for clues in atlanta. they also found new evidence near central park. a backpack with a jacket and monopoly money in the middle east. growing new uncertainty

after the swift downfall of syrian dictator bashar assad. the fall of damascus yesterday triggered celebrations outside san francisco city hall. people there were calling it a victory over a tyrant whose family ruled without mercy for 50 years. today, in the bay's chris pallone has the latest political reaction in washington. reporte. as celebrations continue in damascus, there's cautious optimism in washington. it's a moment of historic opportunity for the long suffering people of syria. president biden, speaking at the white house sunday pledging u.s. support to help bring stability to the country which had suffered under the assad dictatorship for more than 50 years until rebel groups captured damascus over the weekend. this is the best opportunity in generations for syrians to forge their own future. reporter the u.s. struck 75 isis targets in syria after the regime collapsed trying to prevent the terrorist organization from filling the

newly created power vacuum. about 900 american troops will remain to help with that, to keep the pressure on isis and to deny them the ability to easily research. the president, acknowledging for the syrian people who have suffered through a decades long civil war, nothing is guaranteed. make no mistake, some of the rebel groups that took down assad have their own grim record of terrorism and human rights abuses after assad's fall. president elect trump said on social media that russia, which had protected assad, lost interest in syria because of its invasion of ukraine. mr. trump has not said how he will handle the crisis, but allies promise a different approach when president trump comes into office. we're going to see a complete sea change. the u.s. presidential transition is just six weeks away and will come amid increasing instability in the middle east. chris pollone, nbc news, washington. well, police in antioch now believe a late night shootout on saturday night led to the deaths of both of those men involved. it

happened at a parking lot outside of delta bowl bowling alley on delta fair boulevard. one man died there at the scene, the other at a nearby hospital. investigators now say it started with some kind of altercation that escalated into gunfire when one armed man approached another in his car. they're still trying to piece together the issue that led to that gunfire. dramatic video shows the seconds leading up to a deadly high speed crash in the east bay that killed a security guard. we should warn you, we do stop the video before the impact. cameras from a tesla car captured that crash. you can see it speeding along. we freeze the video. once that car goes airborne. but it slammed into a guard post at a gated community called the lakes in discovery bay. it killed one guard, seriously injuring another. it happened just before midnight on friday. the chp says the driver was 17 years old, suffering minor injuries. a memorial is now growing at that guard station. one berkeley pastor

says the victim, who died attended his church. he's the person that actually oversees also the maintenance of our church. you know, and so, i mean, it's a big loss. very sad. he's working hard just trying to make a living for himself. the 17 year-old driver is now being detained in juvenile hall. the chp is ruling out dui, but they're still trying to determine why the driver lost control. 609 right now and hundreds of aftershocks have now shaken that same area from last thursday, 7.0 earthquake that struck along the coast of humboldt county. now the strongest one overnight reached 3.3. and while some of those homes and businesses were damaged last week, authorities are now confident that there were no serious damage to major public infrastructure. let's turn now to meteorologist kari hall. she's really been monitoring the shaking there ever since that tsunami issue was warning was issued and then canceled as well. but, man,

they're getting a lot of aftershocks. yeah, and that's expected. i mean, it was a 7.0. so the ground is not going to just suddenly stop moving. there have been 32 aftershocks. as we look at the past 24 hours. and mind you, that earthquake was on thursday. but we could continue to see more of these small quakes in that area through at least the next several days or possibly weeks. so not expecting that to have an impact on anyone inland. probably not even feeling the shaking farther to the north. while we are going to have some dry and quiet weather for now. we are also going to see the winds picking up as we go throughout the day, and then chilly overnight temperatures with frost in the valleys for this morning and then again tomorrow morning, and then possibly some rain later on this week. so we'll talk more about all of that coming up in the full microclimate forecast. mike's been tracking where we can find some lower gas prices. yeah, and livermore was that place all last week. three of the ten best still in the city there. we'll start with a shout

out for foxy gasoline at 3.29. it's on old first street, again in livermore, then next to marin county, where they have the lows of 3.59. that's the best deal at arco on redwood highway. and then in the south bay, cupertino is the one with a lot of 3.69 price points. we're going to call out alliance on stevens creek boulevard. you can check your city, your area gasbuddy.com on the roadway. we do have a slower drive. a lot of crashes reported. be careful out there. this one had five vehicles involved. south 880 approaching 237. we still, i believe, have a lane restrictions there. and that's why for the early slowing in fremont into the south bay and north 101 slows past trimble, where there's a crash on the southbound offramp. watch that if that's where you're exiting the freeway. back to you. thanks so much, mike. well, people claim fireworks are polluting southern california beaches, and they're blaming seaworld. coming up, the evidence, they say, proves their claim and how the park is handling it all so far. and new studies say that people

who work from home aren't. i mean, they're home. they're not working. let's go out to the futures this morning and see what's up. it looks like it will be a mixed open. we've had three weeks in a row of higher market. birds of a feather. we should stick together and i said i'd never think i wasn't better alone. can't bailey taking over the bay area this week. yeah. billie eilish making sure that you take care of the planet. the eco friendly mode of transportation that may leave you happier than ever. stick around. you're watching today in the bay. i could love you

very happy monday to you. the s&p 500. the nasdaq had their third winning week in a row last week. abc is reporting the labor department is investigating hellofresh for allowing migrant children to pack food in its warehouse. hellofresh says it has zero tolerance for such a thing. the new ceo of unitedhealthcare spoke to employees via video about the killing of the previous ceo. that videoleaked to journalist ken stein, who posted it online. ceo andrew witty complained about what he said was unfair media coverage, and defended the company's system of approving

and disapproving health care care claims. just into our newsroom, china apparently looking at santa clara's nvidia as an apparent anti-monopoly threat. shares are lower in premarket, and that's about all we know. we're working to understatand that story better. donald trump's interview on meet the press gave us all kinds of things to consider, from deporting citizens to arresting lawmakers. but for the first time, he also acknowledged his tariffs may indeed cost americans more money at the store. trump has long said that foreign countries pay american tariffs, but they don't. the fed, meantime considering another interest rate cut one week from now. friday's jobs report showed the economy still strong. we get more inflation data two days from now. economists and analysts giving the feds a thumbs up on its soft landing of the economy. the wings are level on both sides. the inflation wing and the employment wing, which are their

dual mandates. so i think they're they're they're on approach for a very smooth landing. and finally a stanford grad student has caused quite a ruckus with a study he did that found a fairly big percentage of work at home. engineers don't really do much work at all, claiming some of those engineers work less than five hours a week for between 200 and $300,000. he even listed companies with the most slackers, though we are not going to show that. but actual ceos have thanked him and said we are looking io this to discover what's actually going on. they can't do the little mouse. oh yeah, they have the mouse. jigglers. yeah, yeah. thanks, guys. you bet. well, new threats of a lawsuit this morning against san diego's seaworld tied to our climate in crisis. environmentalists say debris from the park's nighttime fireworks shows over mission bay end up in the water. and that seaworld uses the bay as a garbage dump for their poorly

treated wastewater. these are the claims the group is now filing a letter of intent to sue seaworld, which has 60 days to respond. so far, seaworld is not responding to a request for comment. trending for you this morning billie eilish performing in san jose tomorrow and wednesday night. and she's making some special changes for her fans. so her concerts are happening over at sap center, and she's teaming up with caltrain just to encourage fans to take public transportation. a special billie car will depart from san francisco and make stops along the peninsula through san jose. riders can also win some tour merch. eilish is also working with sap to make its menu fully vegan and vegetarian like her own diet. okay, i don't know if i got that, but okay, look, let's do the part. all right. that means it will include vegan hot dogs and teriyaki veggie bowls. okay. to your health. i'll be willing to try it. yeah. if only for one night. birds of a feather. come

on. we stick together. exactly. with our vegan bowls. yeah. all right. let's talk about this, too. it's pretty cool. excuse me. the buddhist temple in mountain view is already gearing up to celebrate the arrival of the new year. i love all the different cultures in our community. take a look at this. yesterday they gathered for a special japanese tradition dating back 1000 years. mochizuki translates to making mochi mochi. i should say. at dawn, people pounded and shaped all those little rice cakes to sell and give to family and friends. when the new year arrives. the temple estimates people pounded more than one ton of rice into mochi every, each and every december. and you know who took part? oh, that was me. as soon as you come out of that, prove that i do some work sometimes. yeah. yeah. we do this every year for generations, and there are generations side by side. that's lovely. that's the beautiful part of it. passing on traditions from grandparents to grandchildren and through the years. i love

it. how many hours? i'm sorry. go ahead. no. how many hours does it do you. oh, we start steaming the rice at 6 a.m. you got to steam the rice before you can pound it. and then we distribute it. so we were there from 630 yesterday morning, 6:00, all the way down to about 3:34 p.m. wow. it's a big day. long day. it's nice to see those traditions doing more work than those tech workers that scott was talking about. you have the proof. that's right. video proof. all right. sounds good. all right. bundle up. this morning. it's a cold start to our day. yes. and we've seen some of those temperatures down into the 30s in parts of the north bay, as well as the inland east bay. and it is a clear start as we take a look live right now in walnut creek. we are in for lots of sunshine today, so it's going to be very much like the days we've seen recently where it starts out cool, but then it warms up nicely. just takes a while before we get there because we are going from 40 to 60 for today, a high of 66 expected in hayward and 64 in napa. a little bit cooler in parts of the inland east bay, where that

central valley fog is having a little bit more of an influence and is slow to clear. so temperatures in those areas will be cooler and we'll see the same thing tomorrow. in fact, there may be some more widespread fog creeping in from parts of the sacramento valley into the delta, as well as the tri-valley. but as far as any weather systems for now, we are still clear. but the high pressure that's blocked all of these storms and kept them out over the pacific will start to move out of the way, and then eventually we'll start to see rain coming back into the forecast. the next storm coming in will arrive on thursday. it looks to be a fairly weak and quick moving systembut there is another one right behind that that may be a little bit stronger, producing some heavier rain from friday into early saturday and then tapering off on sunday and then back behind that o is another one. so we're about to open the storm door once again, as we call it, and start to see some more storms coming in every few days. and we're looking at the possibility of parts of the

north bay getting about 3 to 4in of rain, but much less farther south, maybe a half inch. and while we get that rainfall, the sierra will see snow this weekend. there could be 1 to 2ft of snow in some of those higher elevations, seeing the higher snowfall totals. so looking at our 7-day forecast, a couple of more days of warm and sunny weather before we see the rain coming back to the bay area. mike, you have an update on the jam at the nimitz? yeah, there was first a crash at 237. now one in the backup there is dixon landing road. they got all vehicles to the shoulder, so we're starting to see speeds move better. but it may be a little slower than you'd like or expect. fremont down to milpitas north 101. starting with the second build for the morning in the south bay, there was a crash at trimble on the southbound side that has been cleared from the roadway and northbound routes through the south bay. looking okay. a cluster of crashes in the east bay, but no major concerns. back to you. thank you so much, mike. 623 right now, next here on today in the bay, nbc bay area response. who do you call when your

sam had a lyft pink subscription with the rideshare company, which came with a roadside assistance benefit for his personal car. well, he says his car broke down while he was out of town, and lyft couldn't find

a tow for two days. he says lyft told him to go ahead and tow it himself and save his receipts. well, he says the tow plus two nights in a hotel totaled $1,347. sam submitted that for reimbursement, but says lyft and its towing contractor simply kept pointing fingers at one another. after more than a year of that, he contacted us to break the cycle. we contacted lyft. it then sent sam a check for $1,347.99. we reached out to lift for comment, but it did not respond the way we see it. sam did everything right here. he tried to follow lyft's normal procedure. then he followed its backup plan. yet lyft still didn't pay him until we stepped in. we're glad sam had good documentation to show he was just doing what they told him. if you need help getting a consumer issue on the road, just snap the qr code on screen right now to fill out our consumer

it's going to be very difficult to police the city right now at 630. oakland facing a dire budget crisis. cuts may soon lead to fewer police officers. at a time when the city is dealing with a surge in sideshows and other violent crimes. we break down what may be on the chopping block, and the impact it will have on people who live there. plus, an explosive allegation. rap icon jay-z accused of sexually assaulting an underage girl, which sean diddy combs. the shocking claims being made in a new lawsuit and the star's denial overnight. and a chilly and windy morning in the bay area. meteorologist kari hall tracking the cold conditions. this is today in the bay. you can see how clear it is out there. and that means a cold

start to this monday morning. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. and i'm marcus washington. let's get a look at just how cold it is out there for us today. meteorologist kari hall has been tracking that. she's got her boots on. you know, it's cold. i'm staying warm, and you'll want to do the same. layering up today with our temperatures starting out in the low 40s. and it will be slow to climb in parts of the bay area as we take a look at four of our mioclimates. we're in the upper 40s, low 50s right now. while san rafael is waking up to a clear start, and it is 37 right now. we will be in the 30s through 8:00, and then seeing those temperatures quickly warming up, headed for the mid 60s for today and 64 expected in san francisco. there will be more changes ahead this week. so we'll talk about that coming up in a few minutes. laura marcus. sounds good. thanks so much. kari happening today. oakland leaders will try to tackle a major money crisis and potentially painful cuts. at city is facing a $129 million budget shortfall. today in the

bay's kris sanchez is following where those budget talks stand right now. and this should be concerning to a lot of people because it may include cuts to the police and fire departments. i mean, public safety is a big part of the budget, and the council is going to talk this morning at 930, and likely the conversation will center on cuts to that are included in an 18 page report. there are two phases here. and the first cuts would happen fast. the city would reduce contracts, dip into the city's emergency reserve and self-insurance funds, and perhaps other city funds. but this is what really has people talking. the first part of that plan would eliminate two police academies. police overtime and several oakland pd special units and two fire stations would be browned out next year, which means oakland would have five fire stations offline, which the firefighters union says is unsafe for everyone. staffing equals safety for us, and the more firefighters you have on the street, the safer it is for

oaklanders and the safer it is for all of us. i mean, we are stretched thin already. i have confidence in our fire fighters and our fire chief that we will minimize the impact, especially with it being the rainy season. so that is just the first phase. there could be up to four more stations browned out before the budget gap is closed, and starting in january, the city will ask department heads to eliminate 91 positions through reassignment or layoffs. some of these cuts hinge on the sale of the city's share of the oakland coliseum to the african american sports entertainment group. rather, the a's share of the coliseum. investigators are waiting for alameda county to approve the a's half of the deal. that discussion is set for tomorrow. the budget talks for the city start at 930. this morning. marcus. all right. thanks, chris. you know, this all comes as oakland dealing with another chaotic weekend, including chaos caught on video showing crowds rushing to a

convenience store. look at this. you can see that crowd there rushing in people grabbing items from shelves and the owner telling us this happened around two yesterday morning at the shell gas station over on hegenberger road. now, we did reach out to police about the robbery, but we did not get a response. also, a chaotic weekend in oakland continues as this includes several illegal sideshows. take a look. now, police say one sideshow started about 130 yesterday morning. this is near stanford avenue and market street. this is in west . nearly 200 cars involved here. then about 30 minutes later, another sideshow. this was reported. look at this. this is near 17th street and san pablo avenue. video from that scene there showing bmw engulfed in flames. police are not yet saying if any arrests were made. rap mogul jay-z is responding after being namedn a civil lawsuit accusing him and sean diddy combs of raping a 13 year

old girl in 2000. the lawsuit was officially filed against combs in october. attorneys refiled it yesterday to include jay-z, whose real name is sean carter. the suit claims the assault happened at an mtv video music. afterwards awards after party. it also mentions an unnamed female celebrity and claims she watched as carter and combs raped the victim. combs is currently in jail, facing a string of assault and rape accusations. he has denied any wrongdoing. jay-z has issued a strong response to that claim, saying in part, quote, these allegations are so heinous in nature that i implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one. whoever or whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away. would you not agree? the response goes on to say these alleged victims would deserve real justice. if that were the case. jury deliberations resumed today in the high profile, high

profile trial tied to the murder of tech ceo bob lee. nima momeni is facing life in prison if he is convicted of murder in the stabbing death of cash app founder bob lee. while the defense team claims he stabbed lee in self-defense after lee brandished a knife, prosecutors argue the dna on the knife handle is almost entirely momentous. if jurors do not reach a consensus on the murder charge, they can consider a lesser charge of second degree murder. voluntary manslaughter or involuntary manslaughter. when the jury reaches a decision, we'll break into programing to bring you the verdict live. we'll also send a breaking news alert on our nbc bay area app, along with complete coverage at nbcbayarea.com. 636 this morning, let's take a beautiful sunrise so i can tell you this is a meteorologist kari hall favorite time of the day when we have these beautiful sunrises and laura garcia and micah noho

know. but today it's nice because you're indoors. well, yeah, that's true because it's really cold out there. kari. but beautiful though. yeah, it is a beautiful start this morning. we're seeing that sunrise all around the bay area. take a picture. we love to see them shared on social media. and as we take a live look outside in san francisco, it's going to be a sunny day, but also quite windy in some spots, mainly in the hills and mountains in the north bay, and then chilly temperatures in the valleys overnight with some patchy frost once again. but then we'll be watching out for rain later this week. take a look at the view in palo alto this morning. don't let that distract you as you're driving. grab those sunglasses and also a nice warm coat. temperatures in the low 40s to start there at 9:00. it's 50 degrees and will be in the low 60s for the afternoon, eventually making it up to the mid 60s very much like the weather we've seen recently. we'll talk about changes later on this week coming up. but mike, you've got an ongoing

delay for the bart system. yeah, unfortunately we can't focus on the sunrise because over here in oakland, right by the coliseum and the coliseum station, i'm showing the bart tracks. it's not just here. it's system wide reports of 20 minute delays because of a problem on the tracks between macarthur and 19th. that's over in oakland. and pretty much every line goes through the area. so there are delays basically system wide for bart right now. they continue for the morning commute. meanwhile, on the roadways, we have a pretty standard backup at the bay bridge, actually. we see movement and that's pretty good. any time after 630 in the morning, we do have more traffic coming in bearing down the east shore freeway. standard distribution for the slowing, except for this crash, there's a spin out south 680 coming down into benicia right around parrish. so watch for that. and we have continued slowing with a slow start for 242. the crash cleared slow now through walnut creek. back to you. okay. i think you said parrish will worth talking paris this morning. the bells sounding again at notre dame coming up five years after a devastating fire. we'll take you inside the iconic paris cathedral. now open again to visitors from across the globe. and some democrats

asking president biden to step up and not let president trump or incoming president trump take the spotlight out to the big board this morning as well, where we've got another increase in the markets. we set records these last three weeks, plus born on the water in the city by the bay. yeah, you don't want to miss this proud papa moment for bay area's best known four-legged deckhand.

president elect donald trump does not become the actual president for another 42 days. but scott mcgrew joins us now. trump is already meeting with foreign dignitaries and already making some deals. right. and this is something we need to be very careful. legally, there's a fine line because america only does have one president at a time, though. current president biden getting some of this blame as well. one democratic leader calling him the lamest of lame ducks as donald trump appears on the world stage touring the newly renovated notre dame with french president macron and meeting with ukrainian president zelensky and speaking about the end of the war in syria as well. the wall street journal, quoting a number of democrats this morning who are unhappy with biden's relative quiet. president biden did also speak about the war in syria over the weekend, though a day after trump did. we will remain vigilant. make no mistake, some

of the rebel groups that took down assad have their own grim record of terrorism and human rights abuses. we've taken note of statements by the leaders of these rebel groups in recent days, and they're saying the right things now. but as they take on greater responsibility, we will assess not just their words, but their actions. now, at the end of the war, has huge ramifications for the middle east as there's now an enormous power vacuum and our allies in turkey don't like our allies in syria, the kurds. it also may up free, may free up russian troops to fight in ukraine. so there's lots to watch. very busy weekend. president elect trump on meet the press, where he covered a variety of topics, saying the congressional members of the january 6th committee ought to be jailed and claimed crime is at an all time high. it is not. he was also asked about his plan for health care. he says he wants to repeal and replace the affordable care act, but still says he only has concepts of a plan to do so.

when he was president, he often said the release of a master plan was just days away. he also said he would end birthright citizenship. that's when somebody becomes an american citizen because they were born in america. it doesn't matter if their parents are american. this is in the constitution. so it's not something a president can revoke on his own. and for the first time, he acknowledged that tariffs may cause higher prices. economists say it's not you know, may it's will you are now proposing tariffs against the united states. three biggest trading partners, economists of all stripes say that ultimately consumers pay the price of tariffs. i don't believe can you guarantee american families won't pay more? i can't guarantee anything. i can't guarantee. tomorrowow, presidt elect trump says he'll place a 25% tariff on mexico and canada, making those products from those countries that much more

expensive. now, over the weekend, the province of ontario ran a commercial during the 49ers game, reminding americans how dependent we are. and they are. laura on free trade. interesting. thank you very much, scott. well, as scott was just alluding to today, for the first time since fire ravaged notre dame more than five years ago, visitors can tour the newly refurbished cathedral doors officially opened over the weekend. yeah. nbc's jay gray was in paris with a closer look for us at this historic, worldwide celebration. hey there. good morning from paris. and just outside e of notre dame where you can hear the bells ringing. lines started to stretch from the cathedral before sunrise this morning. the excitement surrounding the reopening of notre dame, fueled by a historic weekend here. the solemn toll of the ancient bell. the haunting moan of the cathedral's grand organ along with the angelic serenade of

youth choir announcing the return of notre dame. it's a symbol of paris, of course, but it's a symbol of humanity and freedom and kindness all over the world. the iconic church ravaged by fire five and a half years ago. firefighters rushing in, followed by construction teams, artisans, craftsmen and architects. close to 2000 men and women, many of those heroes honored with a standing ovation that lasted several minutes. as they take their place in the cathedral. they brought back to life such an amazing, amazing structure. so the flying buttresses and gargoyles and the ro window. it's amazing. they did it right. amazing. very proud of them. saturday. dignitaries and heads of state gather for the opening ceremony,

including first lady doctor jill biden and president elect donald trump. sunday morning, paris archbishop laurent ulrich leads the first mass since the fire, joined by nearly 170 bishops from france and around the world and 2500 invited guests. a special moment during the service, the blessing of a new bronze altar. then sunday evening, the first mass opened to the public. the faithful finally returning to worship inside the pristine, refurbished cathedral. in the coming days, notre dame will extend visiting hours until 1030 at night, expecting as many as 40,000 each day to visit the refurbished cathedral. jay gray, nbc news, paris. and today show's craig melvin was the first u.s. broadcast journalist to get a look inside. so later this morning, he's going to provide

exclusive access to the restored cathedral with a special tour of the second level that's coming up for you at 7:00 this morning, right after us here on today in the bay. also trending for you this morning. we figure if pier 39 is best known deckhand knew what was going on right now. probably be a lot for him to bear. okay. congratulations. still may be in order. you need to know that we're talking about bear. it's a german shepherd. san francisco police are tweeting that bear a new father time seven. their marine team assisted in the delivery. now, we don't know who the mother is. well, that should be the easy part. you think maybe they're withholding that information? but bear works on the kitty cat catamaran, which conducts whale watching tours. he even has his own tiktok account. our joe rosado did an entire feature on bear a couple of months ago at the time, bear never said anything about, you know, seven buns in the oven. but again, we just want to bark out our

congratulations to bear. big daddy bear didn't have time to tell you about it because i got to work. i got to support these seven kids. got to support these little pups. we have a dog named bear that works on kitty cat. the boat. exactly. okay. i had a cat named mouse once. oh. oh, yeah. go figure. but bear a bear of some cold out there this morning, too. you need some fur? yeah. make sure bear is wearing a nice little warm jacket today. coat. you guys. all right. it's all clear as we take a live look at the golden gate bridge. and we are also seeing a clear sky as we check out walnut creek. so, fog. not as much of a widespread issue. still seeing some patches of it in the north bay as we start out at 47 degrees. it's going to be a very cool start to the morning, and we see those 40s lasting through about 9:00. and then quickly warming up late morning going into the afternoon. it will be back in the 60s for today, and in fact some upper 60s for parts

of the south county, with morgan hill today up to 66 degrees 63 in cupertino and the east bay also looking at 60s, but maybe a little bit cooler in livermore, where some of that central valley tule fog just kind of rolls in and may keep those temperatures lower there. while in hayward, it's going to be a sunny 65 today. and looking at low 60s for much of the peninsula in san mateo today, 62 degrees and a high of 64. downtown san francisco mission district in the low 60s as well, and mid 60s for much of the north bay. let's get a look at what's happening on the bigger picture here. the satellite and radar. it's been clear and dry all across the west, and the storms held up offshore. while we are going to see this pattern changing throughout the week as high pressure moves out of the way, by thursday, we'll see rain chances increasing for the bay area as well as sierra snow. and then we're going to see not only one, but several systems moving

in starting this weekend. round after round of rain going into next week. so we're about to enter into a much more busy weather pattern here after a nice quiet stretch and then just this week into the weekend, parts of the north bay could possibly see 3 to 4in of rainfall. much less south of the golden gate bridge. maybe a half inch for the south bay. big changes ahead and also some snow for the sierra coming this weekend. anywhere from seven to possibly 20in of snow before those next storm systems come in later. so we are going to see once again things changing. a couple of more days of sunshine and well above normal temperatures, at least for those highs. and then as for thursday into the weekend, we'll start to see some scattered showers coming in. but it looks like it's going to be at times, a soggy weekend. mike, you're seeing the east bay commute building. yeah, and a lot of it's according to the typical pattern, but maybe a little heavier than we would think for a typical monday here at the richmond side of the bridge. the

note also for the bart system, as we show the map throughout the east bay, you may see a few more folks hitting the road because there is a 20 minute delay reported system wide for bart. basically because of a problem on the tracks between macarthur and 19th. again, there's a delay on the bart system. you want to check for the timing on your trains over here. we have a good deal of slowing heading sth on 680 toward the walnut creek interchange, 24 still bears a pretty good speed there. heading to the caldecott, though a slower drive across the san mateo bridge because of that build off of the east bay. no major concerns for 880, just the build there as well as the crash around dixon landing road, looks like it's starting to ease up that slowing much easier now. south bay kicking in with northbound routes. so look at that. 85 shows slowing now to. back to you. thank you very much mike. well happening now calistoga animal shelter is asking for help after crates of small dogs were dumped just outside of town. workers say 27 chihuahuas were crammed into small crates and abandoned a few nights ago. the shelter's already at capacity. to help ease the crunch, it's now asking

people to foster or adopt, and it's waiving all the usual adoption fees. however, they say the 27 chihuahuas are not adoptable just yet. and new for you overnight. once we get back, we're going to have more, including an overnight shooting. a brief shutdown of lanes on highway 24. we have the new details this morning on that investigation. plus, oakland faces a budget crisis. the cuts may lead to fewer police officers as the city is dealing with chaotic scenes, like sideshows going to break down what's on the chopping block. but first, here's hoda. jordan thompson coming up on today. the one, the only kelly clarkson. she's going to treat us to a morning of festive music. she will join us live right here in studio one a we're going to have that. and a lot more a little later this

we are moving you forward with a look at our top stories here on today in the bay, including an apparent freeway shooting in on the east bay. right now, the chp will only say an incident overnight closed lanes on east bay. eastbound highway 24 until about 2 a.m. this is near orinda at the caldecott tunnel. also, video from the scene shows a car with bullet holes on the shoulder near that tunnel. so far, the chp is not confirming if there were any victims. jurors this morning resumed deliberations in the high-profile nima momeni murder trial. he's facing life in prison if he's convicted of murder in san francisco. the stabbing death of cash app co-founder bob lee. now, the defense claims he stabbed lee in self-defense after lee brandished a knife while prosecutors argue that the dna

on that knife handle is almost entirely momentos. if jurors cannot reach a consensus on the murder charge, they can consider lesser charges of second degree murder, voluntary manslaughter or involuntary manslaughter. oakland leaders today will answer some tough questions about how to solve a massive budget shortfall. the budget gap is believed to be approaching $130 million, and some of the proposed changes include reducing current contracts and dipping into the emergency reserve. also, the elimination of two police academies and police overtime, and several police special units. two fire stations may also be browned out, starting next year. council members will meet at 930 this morning. all right. this morning, bring out the coats, scarves and hats because it's cold. yeah, it is cold, but it warms up nicely for today. it's going to be a pleasant afternoon. upper seconds for today and tomorrow. a then the rest of the week will be

watching an incoming storm that starts to bring us some showers starting on thursday, and the south bay shows warmer colors. that means slower speeds. your typical pattern, except for mountain view. there is a crash around ellis which is causing some more slowing, so watch that off. 237 and continue to delays for bart through oakland. today's show is just ahead, but we continue today in the bay on roku and other streaming platforms. join us for our 8 a.m. newscast. you can also see it online at nbcbayarea.com or on our smartphone app. take us wherever you go. all right. monday morning, kicking off nice and beautiful out there. so make sure you get out there and enjoy it. that's right. that's what's happening today in the bay. a nice day outside. it is. we're inside and cozy for now. have a great morning. we'll see you back here at our cut in coming up in about 30 minutes. east. >> after the sudden and swift
