awaiting a verdict. after seven days of jury deliberations, a decision is reached in the murder trial surrounding the death of cash app founder bob lee. ahead, we hear from legal experts on the possible outcome we could see take shape. plus

the deepening drone mystery over the northeast. heads to capitol hill. we're live from washington with the growing calls for action and transparency. also, across the bay area, a foggy start to the morning commute. meteorologist kari hall is tracking the dangerous driving conditions, and when you head out, what you'll likely see. this is today in the bay. a whole lot of nothing. what you're going to see. i can't just move it. just move it out of the way. good morning to you on this tuesday. i'm marcus washington, and i'm laura garcia. we'll check in with mike because that visibility could be a concern for commuters out there. kari has a look at our forecast. yeah, we're starting out with low visibility all around the bay area. after the recent rain that we've had. this is a live look in san rafael, where a lot of the clouds and fog is just above the roadway, but you are still having that reduced visibility as you're driving to work this morning there, we're seeing it down to about a quarter of a mile in san

francisco. it's zero. and then for the tri-valley, it's said about two and a half miles. once again, it's just above the roadway there. and three quarters of a mile in concord. while in san jose, we're also seeing the really dense fog and a look at walnut creek, where the headlights are traveling there and making it okay. but we are going to see the fog linger through 10:00 this morning. it's going to be with us for quite a while as our temperatures will be cool, but just a touch warmer than it was yesterday as we get some sunshine this afternoon. so in oakland look for a high of 62 today. it will also be 62 in novato and napa and san francisco. looking at a high today of 60 degrees, it's going to gradually warm over these next few days. so we'll talk more about that coming up, mike. tracking the impact of all of that fog. yeah, fog is our headline. so watch those headlights as you have the fog. and these are the low clouds kari was talking about. we're okay on the deck for 101. but, look, we don't usually see this

on the south bay map. this highlighted is the fog impact from the weather system. so there's a lot of fog. 85 has been seeing that down 17. want to show you 101 coming up through morgan hill san martin this morning. commute is going to get met with some lower visibility. those street signs and exit signs may not be visible or may look different, so lower those speeds to allow yourself to get oriented. we're used to that fog along the delta. but look, it's extending all the way down across the benicia and the carquin bridge, down through richmond where there's one crew. looks like they're sticking around around san pablo will track that, but no backups at the toll plazas. back to you. thank you very much, mike. well, nearly two months of testimony. seven days of deliberation. all coming down to this at 930 today. this morning, the jury is set to announce its verdict in the murder trial of nima momeni. he is the man charged in the deadly stabbing of cashapp founder, bob lee. today in the bay's ginger conejero saab joins us live in san francisco this morning. and, ginger, you spoke to lee's ex-wife. what's her mindset

ahead of the verdict? good morning, marcus and laura. bob lee's ex-wife krista says there is nervous energy before the reading of the verdict today, but she says her family knows the truth. they believe nima momeni killed bob lee wherever or despite where the jury might fall in their verdict. now, she shared several photos with us. i want to share you some of those. share with you some of those photos she shared one of her and bob lee from about 20 or so years ago. she told me they first met at a local spot in saint louis. their first date came weeks after that, and they celebrated that date every year for 20 years. they shared two kids and they maintained a very cle relationship. even after splitting in 2018. now, krista shares, bob's birthday would have been on friday, and he would have been 45 years old. now, krista and her family will be at the courthouse this morning. i also assume that

members of nima momeni family will be anxiously anticipating that reading of the verdict as well. the mom of nima momeni has been there as well. every day throughout these proceedings, marcus and laura and we've been waiting for a while. the jury is deliberating for seven days now. do you think it speaks to where they lean in today's verdict at all? yeah, well, legal experts say that the amount of time that a jury deliberates may be indicative of where they lean. we spoke with steven clark, our legal expert, who has been following this case closely. he says there's a lot of evideou fx week trial, which included testimony detailing that drug fueled party scene of san francisco's tech elite. they heard testimony from momeni own sister, kesar, who was the key piece in connecting lee and nima, and they heard from the defendant himself, who says he acted in self defense the night that lee was fatally stabbed. now prosecutors, they laid out

their case, saying momeni fatally stabbed lee to avenge sexual assault claims from his sister and a man that lee introduced to her. they presented testimony that said momeni dna was overwhelmingly on the knife or what is believed to be the murder weapon. and he said, they said i should say that he fled the scene and he never called police. now the jury was instructed to unanimously decide whether or not they believe momeni is guilty of first degree murder. if they could not, they would unanimously agree he is not guilty of that charge and then move down to lesser charges. we're likely to see a verdict somewhere between second degree murder and voluntary manslaughter. it will be interesting to see what the jurors thought of momeni testimony for the defense. putting momeni on the stand was a high stakes gamble, but it was a risk worth taking. now, laura marcus, irregardless of where today's verdict falls, bob lee's ex-wife krista says that this

may be just part of the bigger legal picture. she plans on taking momeni mother, his sister and his brother in law to court. we're live in san francisco, ginger conejero saab. today in the bay. we will be watching. certainly, ginger. thank you for that. 506 for you right now, the man accused of killing seven farm workers in half moon bay is expected in front of a judge in a matter of hours. a hearing is scheduled to be scheduled to set a date. this is for chung. lee zhao's jury trial has been in custody since the arrest in january of 2023. now he has pleaded not guilty despite confessing to that shooting. during a jailhouse interview with nbc bay area's janelle wang. today's hearing is scheduled for nine this morning just into our newsroom. a top russian general is dead after a bombing attack in moscow. ukraine's security service claims its operatives carried out the mission one day after it opened a criminal investigation against him. the general served as chief of russia's nuclear,

biological and chemical protection forces. he died from a bomb embedded in a scooter outside his apartment building. russia is vowing to respond in a matter of hours. the house intelligence committee is expected to receive a briefing as questions remain over drone sightings across the united states today in the bay's brie jackson joins us live from washington this morning. and, bree, four federal agencies are now speaking up ahead of today's briefing. and they say the public has nothing to worry about. that's right. good morning laura. so the group says that the drones are not from any one entity, the fbi, the department of homeland security, the federal aviation administration and the defense department released a joint statement yesterday. they say the sightings include drones used for commercial uses and by people who fly them as a hobby. people are also mistaking aircraft and even stars for those drones, which have been spotted over multiple u.s. states over the past several

weeks. the group adds that it is. it still has not found any threat to the public, something that the white house is echoing. now, president elect donald trump says he's canceling a weekend trip to new jersey due to what's happening, and that is driving fears that the government is not telling the public the full story. something strange is going on for some reason. they don't want to tell the people, and they should, because the people are really i mean, they happen to be over bedminster. we want to know the truth. they're very they're very they're very close to bedminster. i think maybe i won't spend the weekend in bedminster. and because drones fly so low, aviation hour, faa officials or aviation radar typically does not spot them. fbi and faa officials have said most drone sightings appear to line up with airport takeoff and landing patterns, suggesting the public might be mistaking regular air traffic. even passing satellites for drones. meanwhile, a company

specializing in drone radar is now working with state police in new jersey. now, today's briefing of the house intelligence committee is expected to begin at 11 a.m. this morning. laura. all right. a lot to cover there, bree. thank you very much. new this morning, pg&e will reportedly receive a record setting federal loan to upgrade its grid and infrastructure. sources tell the wall street journal the utility is finalizing a $15 billion low interest loan. it will go towards boosting projects tied to climate change, hydroelectric power and modernizing power lines. it will be paid out over several years. pg&e and the department of energy are not commenting. let's take a live look outside at downtown san jose. you just got to take my word for it. it is a foggy morning across much of the bay area. visibility is tough. if you got to head out the door, you've got to add some extra time. yes, you do, because we're not only just seeing the fog in san jose, we're seeing it all across the south bay, the peninsula, as well as the north

bay. and as we take a look at walnut creek, you can see it's foggy there as well. it's also a chilly start in the fog will linger a lot longer with san jose still seeing it overhead and also reducing our visibility on the roadways through 8:00. by 10:00 we're seeing it lifting and then gradually clearing out as we go throughout the day. and temperatures in the low 60s. we'll be in the upper 50s for martinez this afternoon. still cool for the inland parts of the east bay, where that fog lingers a lot longer. and in santa rosa, look for a high of 62. it will be slightly warmer tomorrow, with some of us heading to the lower 70s. mike, that fog may be a surprise for some. yeah, because we're talking about the fog, usually along the coast where it is there up in san francisco, daly city. but look, it's over on the eastern side of that part of the peninsula. and then creeping all the way down the last hour has seen this really register. remember, we've got the road weather index, which takes the weather data. we share the systems with kari, and that takes the weather data and

see what it might be like on the roadways. it'segisteng fog along 8517 throughout south bay freeways. that's really unexpected for many. meanwhile, over here in the tri-valley, it's a simple, simple drive for the morning commute. but look again, this cama in walnut creek shows those low clouds really kind of just right above the road. back to you. all right. good to know. thanks, mike. well, expanding flights to paradise. ahead on today in the bay. the new options. travelers booking with alaska will soon have when flying to hawaii. and here comes the money. one of the biggest investors in silicon valley ready to spend billions. and it benefits everybody. i'll show you how. out to the futures this morning. the dow has been on a losing streak, the longest one since 2018. wellhat's t

and what to expect today. it's going to be a cloudy start and at times some low visibility and fog. by noon it's all clear, but it's still chilly. we're in the mid 50s and only reaching into the low 60s very briefly today as we dip back into the 50s around 4:00, and definitely seeing those temperatures fall near sunset. we are going to have some warmer temperatures ahead and more sunshine. we'll talk more about that coming up in a few minutes. yeah, that fog kari talked about will be a factor. here's san jose give you the locator. rooftop camera over 280. here's southbound, 280 right there. northbound would be going that way. can't really

make out those tail lights. just again from the rooftop. visibility will be lowered in many patches. and we'll talk about how that might be impacting your morning commute. well good morning. very happy tuesday to you. marcus mentioned that big loan to pg&e. so pg&e is a publicly traded company certainly worth watching this morning. this one is alaska airlines. it says it's adding more routes from san francisco to hawaii as part of its merger with hawaiian airlines sfo to kona four times a week, three times to kauai. the f starts its two day interest rate meeting today. the expectation is they'll cut rates a quarter point. what does that mean to you? well, you're paying too much for your credit card debt. your car payments probably fixed your mortgage rate more related to the ten year bond than anything the fed does. so not much, but we'll talk more about it tomorrow as we get that decision. we got word incoming president trump has met with the head of tiktok as that company tries to head off a ban next

month. banning tiktok actually got its start during the first trump administration, but mr. trump has since changed his mind, saying publicly a ban on tiktok would help mark zuckerberg and facebook, with whom trump has issues, though meta, you'll remember, just contributed $1 million to trump's inauguration. one way or the other, president trump cannot overturn the ban alone. he would need congress to reverse itself. trump met with softbank's masayoshi son at mar a lago yesterday, where masayoshi son promised to invest billions in american businesses, much of it in tech. we know this investor very well in silicon valley. he's spent billions here already on all kinds of startups. here's the president elect, and we've just concluded a very productive meeting. and today, i am thrilled to announce that softbank will be investing $100 billion in america, creating 100,000 american jobs at a minimum. and he's doing

this because he feels very optimistic about our country since the election. now, if this sounds familiar, the same pair made the same or at lst similar announcement at trump tower shortly before trump became president, the first time. to be clear, a venture capitalist does not need to stand alongside an incoming president tannounce a new fund. it's not mr. trump's money, and the bank doesn't need his okay to make the investments. but why wouldn't you? masayoshi son kept his promise spent wildly, particularly in the bay area. some ideas were winners, uber comes to mind, and some were a giant waste of softbank's money. investments like wework, the one that always stands out in my head is his investment in a dog walking company called wag. somebody come to your house sort of like a doordash and walk your dog. softbank sank $300 million into wag, a business not that different than the dog walking business you might have thought up when you were a kid. a third

of $1 billion. so long before we knew masayoshi son and his money were coming back, we did a full breakdown of softbank spending in silicon valley with its head american investoon our podcast, sand hill road. the title of it is inside softbank vision funds new billion dollar bets, and you can find that in past episodes. it is good for all of us because although the bets he makes can be really weird, those startups then need to go to lunch. they need to pick up the dry cleaning they need to. and if somebody wants to spend that kind of money in silicon valley, let them well, and they've been able to hit some big ones too. yes. all right. thank you very much. all right. 519 right now trending for you. while you can't say if the title has changed for the better, it certainly has been changed for good. okay. we're talking about wicked here. and the team behind the movie

revealed the second installment of the musical adaptation is now known as wicked for good. subtitle takes its name from the beloved ballad from the end of the musical. the film surpassed that $500 million mark this weekend. wicked for good hits theaters november 21st, 2025. big fans will be counting down. we'll put that in the corner every morning. a little countdown. countdown. oh, yeah. the countdown. we'll start it. how many days away? all right. countdown to clearing the sun will arrive today. eventually, it's going to take a while, and i think that fog is going to hang out a lot longer than we'd probably like. especially with the difficult drive to work this morning. but looking at the storm track and the wide view of our satellite and radar, the rain that we had yesterday has moved away. and now we're starting to see that long connection of those clouds, that pineapple express or atmospheric river has moved to the north, and that's where it's going to stay for a while now, at least

into the end of the week. looking at our temperatures, it is still a little bit milder because of the fog. and that's that's keeping our morning start in the 40s for the most part. we're at 47 in sonoma, 50 now in san mateo, and it's 49 in fremont, pleasanton checking in at 48 degrees in morgan hill. it's also 48 and foggy, 100% humidity. so you know what that means as you're in the mirror this morning getting ready for the day, don't even bother with curling your hair. it's going to be foggy and very humid. and then we start to see things clearing out as we go into late morning, as well as the afternoon, and temperatures just a touch warmer than yesterday, with some low to mid 60s. and tomorrow is even warmer with the south county making it into the low 70s in gilroy, while most of the rest of the bay area will be in the 60s and then going into the end of the week, we're looking at some slightly warmer temperatures and continued

sunshine on saturday. that's when our next storm system will be coming in, and after that, it looks like a very busy and active weather pattern for our christmas week, even into christmas day. and then the day after, we're going to have some rounds of rain coming in, as well as sierra snow weber between the first part of next week into christmas day, we are going to see the potential of about a foot to possibly 18 to 21in of snow in the sierra. good news that we may see a white christmas in the sierra, with some active snow coming down. and for the bay area, we're enjoying the sunshine, at least for our afternoons over the next few days. and mike, we were trying to take a look at san rafael. yeah, trying, but i can't clear this up right here. this is that fog going on southbound 101. we only see just past the overhead. the overcrossing. the exit sign would normally say north san pedro. well, it still says that we can't see it heading south

toward lincoln. we can't see that far. but we do notice that it registers with that fog on the road. weather index throughout the north bay, throughout much of that north bay over there along along the delta, coming off the cordelia junction, down through contra costa county. no major slowing, but highway 37 does have that first start we expect, even especially on a tuesday. the bridges are moving smoothly, but there may be fog that passes across from the peninsula. and definitely watch that south bay. back to you. thank you mike. well, one spacecraft ds away from a historic flyby next year on today in the bay, kari goes one on one with nasa about its mission of the parker solar probe as it makes its final approach toward the sun. you don't want to miss that. keep it ♪ i'm on my way ♪

it's been a viral year for the sun. from april, the total solar eclipse across america to the northern lights shimmering all the way down to the bay area. this past october, the sun has spread light in all of our lives this year, and now our sun is back in the news. as nasa spacecraft prepares to make a historic close approach next week. after traveling for seven years, i spoke with nasa, nasa, nasa mission scientist who describes how the parker solar probe will be able to get close to the sun and what they're hoping to find out. the sun's surface is about500 degrees.

pretty hot. but as we rise up sun, rather than cooling off, the particles become a million degrees hot. this enables the acceleration of the particles, but we do not understand the physics, the details of how this heating and acceleration takes place. the best way to do it to study it, is to send a spacecraft and actually make the measurements locally, make the magnetic make, measure the magnetic fields, measure the particles, and that will allow us to develop the necessary understanding, which can be then converted into space. weather prediction. the parker solar probe will reach its closest point to the sun the morning of christmas eve. it will take about three months for scientists to analyze that data, and the spacecraft has enough fuel to continue to gather more information for an astounding

100 years. so this is not the last we'll hear of this mission. back to you. so a christmas gift on christmas eve. there you go. all right. thanks, kari. thanks, kari. well, coming up next, top stories that we're following for you today, including a tragedy on a south bay freeway. this morning, we're hearing from family and friends who are remembering a six year old boy who died after being struck by a car. you're

530. a foggy morning commute. a live look this morning. we are monitoring dangerous driving conditions. be careful as you head out the door. we'll talk about when it is expected to clear. jurors have reached a verdict in the nima momeni murder trial. an announcement is due in a matter of hours. the new promise this morning from the victim's ex-wife to continue her legal push, no matter what. also, oakland's mayor serving her last day in office, her outlook as she exits the public eye. and a look at the transition of power. this is today in the bay. a very good morning to you, and thanks so much for joining us. i'm laura garcia. and i'm marcus washington. want to get you started with a look at what we've been dealing with this morning. if you're driving out there, you see it rht there. that dense fog this morning. triggering an advisory for you. now, here is a look at those conditions. right now, you see across san jose today in the bay's bob redell live for us in

santa clara. this is after making his way through the tri-valley. okay, so, bob, talk about the visibility on your way to that spot. i mean, i'm sure it was pretty foggy out there. yeah, but the fog can be patchy. you can see there is some fog behind me here. we're in santa clara, not far from great america parkway, where it intersects with highway 101. this was what we saw driving down 101 through santa clara around 415 this morning. the national weather advisory marcus has issued this dense fog advisory until 9:00 this morning. so for a few more hours, a warning that visibility could be a quarter of a mile or less. but as you can see inhis video, unfortunately not the case here in santa clara. i had no problems seeing the drivers in front of me. visibility not really an issue. the only place i noticed dense fog on my drive in this morning was coming over highway 84 out of livermore, on to 680 south when i crested over what used to be pigeon pass. the

fog was thick, probably because i was at an upper elevation, but again, i was able to see the brake lights in front of me. i had no issues with the fog on 688 8237 here in the south bay. my photographer jesse, he had no issues either in sf or coming down 101 on the peninsula. again, the dense fog seems to be very isolated. if you do find yourself in dense fog, as always, you want to remember you don't want to put on the high beams because that could reflect light back on you off the fog. it can be blinding, and if you have fog lights, you want to use them. reporting live here in santa clara, bob redell. today in the bay. got to be careful out there. thanks so much, bob. well, now we want to head over to meteorologist kari hall. she's been tracking those conditions for us. and, kari, when do we expect to see some improvement there on the roadways? it's going to be a while. i mean, it's 5.30 right now. it may be 10 or 11:00 before we really start to see it clearing up. and so we're seeing in some spots quarter mile visibility or less. that's the reasason why we do have the dene fog advisory in effect. and in

novato we're seeing it's now at a quarter mile visibility. san francisco parts of the city. it is at zero, san jose at a half of a mile. and looking across four of our microclimates right now, you really can't see anything on all those cameras. and today, once again, it's going to slowly clear out. it will become mostly sunny for the afternoon, and we are looking at highs about normal for this time of year in the upper 50s and low 60s. today in palo alto it will be 62, about the same in san jose, and one of the warmer spots will be gilroy with a high of 66. so we'll talk about more sunshinehead in the forecast. mike, you saw something at the berkeley curve. i did, things were really bunching up at the curve here. this is west 80 down the east shore freeway over toward the bay bridge. it's smoothed out now. visibility is okay here, but you do see a few clouds around the bay and you need some reaction time. so slow those speeds to allow for that. here at the bay bridge toll plaza, we already see the backups starting to form. the metering lights were not registered on as far as the caltrans kohler as far as the

chp blotter goes, but we see the backup forming. it's a pretty big burst of traffic coming off the 880 overcrossing as well. the big factor aside from that backup is that look at the clouds, the highlighted yellow here, north bay throughout contra costa county and across the delta. that's where there's going to be lower visibility. our road weather index takes that weather data. remember it translates to the conditions on the roads. look at this all the way down the peninsula and down through the south bay. all of silicon valley has that yellow highlighted as well. definitely a factor. we're not used to the fog in the south, but quite so much so that will make things look a little bit unfamiliar. there's that look in san jose, low clouds, but visibility on the deck is okay. back to you. thank you very much, mike. well, later this morning, jurors are expected to deliver a verdict in a high profile murder trial. the one surrounding the stabbing death of cashapp founder bob lee. jurors reached a consensus late in the day yesterday. the judge then sent them home with the idea of announcing it this morning at 930. nima momeni faces first-degree murder

charges for the stabbing death of bob lee in san francisco last year. the jury can also consider lesser charges. lee's ex-wife plans to be in court today when the verdict is read, and no matter the verdict, she says she plans to file a civil claim against momeni family members. this is just the beginning of our battle, but tomorrow, hopefully we will all get just a little bit of closure in a way. momeni took the stand in his own defense, testifying lee actually attacked him and acted in self-defense. the trial started nearly two months ago. deliberations took place over seven days. our ginger conejero saab will have more in a live report at the top of the hour. but to make sure you don't miss the verdict when it is announced at 930. download our free nbc bay area app. our full coverage of the momeni verdict will be live on air and streaming. the moment it comes down. departing oakland mayor sheng thao says that she'll be looking forward, not back, as she serves her

final day in office today and one of her last acts in office. yesterday, mayor delivered hundreds of donated gifts to 300 oakland families. her term will end once council members certify the recall results today. her time in office has been filled with successes, including a notable drop in crime, but also controversy, starting with the fbi search of her home and ongoing corruption probe and massive defect leading to severe budget cuts. now, through it all, tower says that she has no regrets. it's emotional. you know, we spent less than two years in office, but i'm just so proud that my team led with values. i think it's a little unfortunate that there was some misinformation that was put out there. you know, in regards to like where the state of the city and the finances are, because we always knew that there was a way to actually lead the city out of its structural deficit. of course, you know, it doesn't happen overnight. voters in the

city of oakland will elect a replacement in april to serve out the remainder of her term. for now, council member nikki fortunato bas will serve as an interim. but once her term ends on january 6th, the newly named council p presidentill serve as interim. heartbroken friends and family members remembering a young boy struck and killed friday night on a south bay freeway. candles, toys and flowers now lined parkmore avenue south of leland, near interstate 280, in san jose. it's all to honor six year old king holguin. friends say his family lives in a nearby apartment complex. and a little before 11:00 on friday night. the chp says he ended up on the northbound shoulder, running into lanes where a car struck him. his aunt remembers him as very loving. he was a very energetic kid. he loved to play. he had autism, so he wasn't. he was nonverbal. so that was. he would communicate with like tablets and like other stuff.

relatives also say king was ready to turn seven in just two weeks, just after christmas. the chp says the crash is still under investigation. later this morning, san jose mayor matt mahan will join south bay housing leaders to help launch a manual count of unhoused people along coyote creek. the city is in the midst of the long term effort to clear the creekside of encampments. the goal there is to provide an update census for resource allocation. this is to help manage and clear the encampment. the city and valley water are funding relocation costs. taking a live look at i-80 in kingsville, chains no longer required this morning as the snow is taking a little bit of the break, but the conditions over the last several days, making it a winter wonderland for some two and a half year old, kaylyn begged his mom and dad to do some sledding yesterday. the snow parks close as family had to go to plan b, pulling him around the parking lot there. but listen to his laughter. what an unexpected day off. so i don't want to stay

home with the kids. so we just decided to come out for a little bit. well, how are the roads? what's it was like driving? they were getting better as we were going. they were cleaning them. but i saw that it was pretty bad this morning. that's why we didn't come up so early. got to get outside or else you go a little stir crazy with the kids. all right. this weekend snowstorm, possibly more this week, should give a big boost to the sierra snowpack. meteorologist kari hall has been tracking all the conditions. just in time for a lot of people to be off. yes. so we saw the over the weekend. a lot of spots had about two feet of snow in the sierra. and thihis is a look at the live view in palisades tahoe. it is not only a very slick, but it's also foggy and temperatures have dropped down into the 20s. so whatever's on the roadways may be freezing, but over the next few days it's going to be clearing out and temperatures warming up enough to give the crews a chance to clear the roads. and also looking at some better conditions. this weekend we'll see another round of snow coming in into early next week, and we could see about ten to possibly

11in of snow from south lake tahoe to tahoe city. truckee about 12in expected kingvale could see 18in of snow and 21 at kirkwood. so we are going to see some more active weather going into the week of christmas. but at least for now, we are taking a break from all of the storms and seeing it heading farther to the north. but if you will be traveling up to the pacific northwest for the holiday, maybe even this upcoming weekend, expect it to be a very slow getting there and also plan ahead for any delays. mike, you're seeing cars. more cars, more fog at the bay bridge. yeah, both are coming together and that's a tough time for the commute. i'll talk about that in a second. but i-80 here is what we're looking at. i-80 through the sierra. i just checked cars are being held in placer county at nyack because of a truck crash heading over towards state line truckee tahoe. so keep that in mind. i'll keep watching that, and i'll let you know if there's anything extended they talk about. but we are looking over here toward the commute through the bay area, and we're

noticing more of this yellow along i-80 highway 24. we're looking at highway four as well, and the corridor 680 heading south through walnut creek. they're all going to get some heavy fog. you're going to have this issue for visibility all along the east shore freeway coming across carquinas, benicia bridge, the richmond san rafael bridge, and across the north bay as well. that's the yellow highlighting. remember, we take our weather data and we can translate to the conditions on the roads itself. better news for the system. smart system is back in service this morning. yesterday they had to extend the maintenance work as well as some repair work and clearing some debris from the weekend. storm damage. that's all back and they should be okay. if you had to extend any expense because of the lack of smart yesterday, you can file that report on their website and they can possibly reimburse you if it qualifies. over here we have the last day of the manzanita lower parking lot that's also closed because of the high tides, not necessarily the rain, but that contributed to more water in the area. meanwhile, we're looking at a smooth drive, but that fog is a factor for the south bay as

well. back to you. thank you mike. well, just ahead on today in the bay, looking for answers after the tragic school shooting in wisconsin. police revealing new details about the shooter and what happened before she opened fire. also overnight, new details on the critically injured victims and what seems like a made for social media crisis. those mysterious drones will have the very latest. plus, moving the bay area forward ahead of the holidays. the new plea for help. this is from one charity as they work to make this a special christmas for families in need. and if you want to help give back this season, you can. our nourishing neighbors food drive is underway. it's an easy way to help families in need. the next time you're at your local safeway, you can donate $10 at checkout. that money benefits bay area food bank, serving hundreds of thousands of people. our nourishing neighbors drive runs through christmas day. a lot more news ahead. it's 543. you're watching

as we take a look at what to expect in cupertino. it's going to be foggy through 8:00 and temperatures very chilly, upper 40s. and then as we go throughout the day, it's going to quickly clear out. we wil have a very nice but chilly day, as our highs here only briefly make it into the low 60s. we'll get a look at some slightly warmer temperatures and more sunshine in the microclimate forecast coming up. yeah, it's

still going to be foggy because it's foggy right now and many patches along the bay. here's palo alto peninsula stretching down toward the south bay. that fog is registering on the road weather index. we'll check out those speeds and other cameras. see your conditions coming up. thank you very much. kari and mike. it is 546 right now. and this morning, multiple people remain in the hospital following a deadly shooting in wisconsin. police say the shooter was a 15 year old female student. they're now identifying her as natalie rubino, who went by the name samantha. investigators say she killed a student and a teacher during study hall at abundant life christian school in madison right now, then turned the gun on herself. officers are now focusing on finding a motive and are combing through her home as part of the investigation. they're still going through evidence in the home, and so we do not have a complete list of the things that were collected from the home. again, that was

done with the consent of the parents. six other people were injured in the shooting. two students are in critical condition at last check. the four other victims are expected to survive. 547 right now, the judge in donald trump's new york felony fraud case says he will not dismiss those charges. scott mcgrew president elect trump. they're his lawyers anyway. they argue that he was immune from prosecution. right? that was their argument in so many words. remember, the supreme court had ruled that presidents cannot be prosecuted for crimes they commit while performing their official duties. but you see the flaw in their argument right away. donald trump was not president when the crimes took place. trump was running for president when he made the payoffs to stormy daniels and others, and then tried to keep those transactions a secret later. there's a separate question as to whether evidence gathered after trump became president should have been used to convict him. trump's pick to run america's health agencies

robert kennedy jr, making another round of meetings in the senate office building in washington. kennedy now says he supports the use and distribution of the polio vaccine after it was revealed a member on his team had petitioned the fda to pull the vaccine from use parts of the government could shut down this weekend unless congress passes a funding bill or a temporary measure to once again kick the can down the road. here's senate minority leader mitch mcconnell on the senate floor warning we need to fix this. extending government funding by friday is our top priority. shutting the government down is a one way ticket to needless disruption of important functions. it's never been a winning proposition, and this time is no different. the house intelligence committee will get a classified briefing about all those drones on the eastern seaboard. faa, fbi assure americans they are not in

danger. some, they say, are hobby drones. many are airplanes, even stars. incoming president trump joining the debate from mar-a-lago. the government knows what is happening. look, our military knows where they took off from. if it's a garage, they can go right into that garage. they know where it came from and where it went. and for some reason, they don't want to comment. and i think they'd be better off saying what it is our military knows and our our president knows. and for some reason, they want to keep people in suspense. have you received an intelligence briefing on the drones? i don't want to comment on that. now, mr. trump is having it both ways here. either he has been briefed, in which case he knows the very thing he claims the government is not telling us, or he has chosen not to be briefed, even though at this point in the transition, he's entitled to the very same classified briefings that president biden gets. trump says he thinks the government might be hiding something, something

that he's entitled to find out about. meantime, people continue to post all kinds of mysterious lights on social media, like these red blinking lights, which on closer examination, most commentators say are radio tower beacon lights. it's just too dark and foggy to see the radio towers, which is why radio towers have red flashing tower beacons. the former governor of maryland adding to the fray with a video he posted to social media. people are rightfully clamoring for answers but aren't getting any. he wrote, the american people deserve answers. now. this is the video he posted the user generated fact check system on x says based on what they can see, what the former governor was seeing with stars, specifically the belt of the constellation orion, where three stars make a perfect line. adding to the confusion, when you use an iphone or a video camera, marcus and laura's to laura to zoomn on a star. it looks bigger, like an object. that's a limitation of the optics. stars don't get bigger

in a telescope, they just get brighter. interesting. thanks, scott. you bet. well, we are moving you forward this morning as one south bay, one of the south bay's largest nonprofits, tries to make sure that everyone is squared away for the holidays. yesterday in san jose, sacred heart community service launched what it calls distribution week, which continues today. volunteers handed out boxes full of holiday food for about 700 families in need. it includes turkeys, hams, chickens and other holiday food supplies. our mike inouye recently spoke with the charity's senior development director. she says between food handouts and a toy giveaway starting tomorrow, a lot of help and donations are needed right now for holidays. our operation gets even bigger so we see a daily during this food distribution. we have like 500 volunteers coming in today and throughout the rest of the week. love to see it. well, toy donations are still being accepted and food donations are

distributed all year long. to learn more about volunteering, visit sacred heart. c s.org/holidays. season of giving. yeah, it's tough to think about the need, but it's nice to know that there's so many people who are reaching out and there's a big need out there. a big need, certainly. so. okay, maybe for a warm coat as well. a little foggy this morning. it's foggy. it's cold. and we are going to have more days like this now that we're into december. after quite a bit of rainfall, we typically do see that moisture condensing in the air, causing the fog as our temperatures cool down during the overnight hours. and that makes it hard to see with all those water droplets floating through the air. and we're going to see visibility down to a quarter mile in san jose, as well as concord and in san francisco. dense fog advisory in effect through 9:00. so that's most likely when we'll start to see it clearing up for parts of the bay area. right now we're in the upper 40s for concord as well as pleasanton, 48 degrees.

san jose is at 51 and 49, in los altos, san francisco at 49 degrees. and then looking at san rafael, where we are once again taking a look at that drive on 101. for a lot of people, that fog is reducing visibility, but it doesn't make it down to zero. so at least it is good enough for you to drive and keep at a good flow of speed as you're driving on the roadways. but we're going to see the fog here in the north bay continue through about 10:00, and then it starts to lift up a little bit, and then it clears out around noon. but it's going to be a cool morning and gradually making its way toward the low 60s for this afternoon, 62 will be the high in napa and oakland as well as palo alto. and for the south county, that's where we have slightly warmer temperatures headed for the mid 60s for today, and even making it into the upper 60s and low 70s tomorrow, while the east bay will be up to the low 60s tomorrow afternoon, we'll see san francisco's high 62 degrees on thursday. it's also going to

be milder, with more sunshine throughout the day and looking at some dry weather continuing. but then saturday, busy shopping day, busy day to try to wrap up all of the holiday activities and get family in town or you're heading out of town. there will be some rain coming in and we are seeing quite a few storms moving in early next week, as well as sierra snow, so we're going to be watching out for all of that. temperatures will be on the cool side, a bit of a warm up going into the weekend as well as early next week, but then cooling down once those storm systems start to arrive. and we're seeing that in our 7-day forecast, as well as our temperatures will be mild and well above normal for this time of year through friday. and then saturday. it does get cooler as the rain moves in. mike has a look on that emeryville camera. can't really see anything, but that's because kari, as you talked about, the fog is just above so low clouds, just about just above the deck for folks who are driving through the area. but 20 minutes ago this

was crystal clear. and so we are looking at that fog continuing to reach down. look at that. every time we take a look, that yellow kind of pushes aund throughout contra costa county, alameda county now being affected. there may be a crash at powell. we're waiting to see any updates from chp. we are looking at a slower drive, but look for a tuesday. highway 37, highway 4 and the bay bridge are the only spots showing any real slowing that's relatively light for a tuesday. lower those speeds, but there should be lighter traffic flow as some folks are starting to get out of town and think about their vacations. the south bay is experiencing lower visibility. watch that through palo alto all the way down toward the south bay, san jose. we do have that slowing for north 101 even now. starting to ease up from their first burst, though. back to you. all right. thanks, mike. well, the bird exhibits at the san francisco zoo temporarily closed this morning. the zoo has shut down the african aviary as well as the south american rainforest and aviary. it says that it is all to reduce the risk of human exposure of bird flu. the zoo says it's been taking other security measures

to minimize the risk of transmission. infection between birds and humans is rare, but it can be deadly. last month, kqed reports that one of the zoo's hawks died from the flu after seven days of deliberating. the jury in the nima momeni murder trial has reached a verdict. ahead at 6:00, we're live breaking down when it will be announced. and all new reaction from bob lee's ex-wife. you're wahingtc

right now at six, awaiting the verdict. seven long days of jury deliberations and a decision is reached in the murder trial surrounding the death of cashapp founder bob lee. hopefully we will all get just a little bit of closure in a way. the problem is now being made by the victim's family. no matter what today's outcome may be. plus, amid its financial troubles linked to california wildfires. pg&e will now get a loan from president biden. the reason? the record settingected to receive a
