ordinary is the opposite of beautiful. beauty drops our jaws. dilates our eyes. and beauty is something we can create... right now... at floor & decor. right now at 6:00, getting down to business. president trump launching his second term in

office with a flurry of executive orders impacting everything from your finances to immigration at the border. but california is not standing idle. the sharp response expected today as the president tries to end birthright citizenship. also, overnight, all new fires sparking in southern california near san diego. we have our eyes on that as the evacuations are underway. also, did you feel it? a very minor earthquake. a 2.6 centered in the gilroy area. no reports of damage. or maybe it woke some people up. yeah, maybe someone like. wait, what was that, exactly? good morning to you. and thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. and i'm marcus washington. all right. time to get a look at what's happening with that forecast for you today. vianey in for kari and mike this morning. starting out with some cold temperatures out there. it is so cold. and you know, we've got 30s below freezing at some point in some spots, including boulder creek right now, which is still at 27 degrees. check out fairfield also at about 27 degrees. now if

you notice we've got several low 30s in through parts of the north bay. and this frost advisory will remain in place until 9 a.m. for the areas that are highlighted in blue. so it's not unlikely that if you live, especially in parts of the interior, you might encounter some of those frosty windchills this morning. you may have to get out and kind of warm up that car before heading out the door. now we're also going to be seeing some warmth. don't worry, by the afternoon. we do have 30s right now in walnut creek, but the wind speeds are calm and the conditions are clear. once we get that sunshine up, you know we're going to start to see some gradual warming from these 30s into some 50s and 60s. and we're going to have a closer look at the extended forecast, but also have a look at how we're doing weather conditions coming up in just a few minutes. all right. thanks, vianey. president trump already making sweeping changes, signing a flurry of executive orders hours after taking office. and while doing so, the president wasted no time pardoning hundreds of people charged in the january 6th insurrection. we have a live

look at the central detention facility in washington, dc, where two previously charged rioters have already been released and more criminal defendants are expected to be freed any time now. our team coverage continues this morning, including kris sanchez. she's tracking immigration concerns and california's response to those executive orders. but first, we want to go to today in the bay chris pollone. he's live for us on capitol hill this morning. and kris, the president there wasting no time in taking swift action, hitting the ground running. marcus. good morning to you and to laura. the 45th president of the united states is now the 47th president. and yesterday, despite all the ceremonies and celebrations, he still found time to pursue an aggressive agenda. glory, glory. as the new president danced and celebrated his inauguration with supporters in washington. this is going to be the dawn of the golden age of america. some 1500 january 6th defendants celebrated their legal slates

being wiped clean. as one of f s first official acts, president trump pardoned and commuted the sentences of everyone charged with crimes related to the january 6th insurrection, one cutting his ankle monitor off after getting word that the new president, who campaigned on bringing law and order back to american cities, absolved him with the stroke of a pen. this is january 6th, and these are the hostages. but they weren't hostages. they were people who were found guilty by a judge or jury, or pled guilty to crimes committed as a pro-trump mob stormed the capitol to stop the certification of the 2020 election. one trump official posting a picture of two brothers after being released from a washington jail, pled guilty to felony assault charges just days ago. it was one of dozens of executive orders and actions president trump signed in his first hours back in office. definition n of bthright citizenship. president signing an order denying u.s. citizenship for children born in the u.s. to undocumented parents. a right guaranteed in the constitution and order sure to face legal challenges. we

have very good grounds. people have wanted to do this for decades. it came after an inauguration ceremony unlike anyone had seen in decades. i, donald john trump, do solemnly swear. with the swearing in ceremony being held indoors because of cold temperatures and the inaugural parade marching through a nearby arena, many people thought it was impossible for me to stage such a historic political comeback. day one of an already record breaking return to power and just one day in. and president trump's second cabinet already taking shape, the senate unanimously confirming senator marco rubio to be secretary of state. two other trump nominees have been passed out of committee. they will be up for confirmation votes in the senate very soon as well. marcus and laura, back to you. all right. continue to follow that. thanks, chris. well, california is preparing to defend some of its newest citizens against trump administration policies. this as esident trump is vowing to end birthright citizenship. the

state's attorney general now vowing to fight it. today in the bay's kris sanchez joining us from the newsroom. so, kris, talk about the action we expect today. well, good morning to you, marcus and laura. california attorney general rob bonta says that california is prepared to fight for that birthright citizenship on his inauguration day. as kris pollone mentioned, president donald trump signed that executive order ending birthright citizenship for future children born to mothers in the u.s. unlawfully or temporarily, unless the child's father is here legally and permanently. california's rob bonta is not the only state attorney general vowing to fight for that birthright citizenship, which he points out was enshrined in the u.s. constitution after the civil war. that is a full frontal attack on the u.s. constitution, a trampling of the defining document of our nation, and an attack on american citizens who have birthright citizenship. all in all, trump signed ten

executive orders related to immigration, including the restriction of federal funds to sanctuary cities and perhaps legal action against them, halting all refugee admissions, sending the military to the border by declaring a national emergency and reinstating the remain in mexico policy. now, protesters in san jose gathered to decry those ten orders related to immigration. and while the president said there would be major immigration action in the country's largest cities, he did not say when. and my biggest fear is losing my parents. i can't imagine losing my parents. it's difficult to even think about anyone to think about it, because if i were to lose my parents due to deportation, my whole world would fall apart. the only way that we will collaborate with ice is if there is a criminal threat to our community, or if there's any type of criminal charges. but aside from that, we will not be cooperating with ice. so one of the biggest challenges to birthright citizenship was posed by a san francisco man whose parents were born in china in that 1898 case,

the last time the court considered it. the court ruled that because that man was born in san francisco in the u.s, he was in fact a u.s. citizen. marcus. all right, chris, thank you. silicon valley tech giants sitting just feet from president trump during the inauguration. well, just ahead in our next segment, our scott mcgrew will break down the role some of them are likely to play in the trump administration. well, developing for you right now in san diego county, mandadatory evacuation orders are in place east of oceanside. this is as firefighters try to get a handle on that out-of-control fire that started after midnight in the area north of san diego. in the last update, 80 acres have burned. so far, there are no reports of structures damage, but firefighters are dealing with those winds gusting at more than 20 miles an hr. meanwhile, in l.a. county firefighters, they're making more headway on reaching full containment. and both the palisades and eden fires. a total of 28 combined deaths are

now confirmed, with more than 15,000 structures destroyed. but overnight, teams were dealing with those stronger winds. and the latest red flag warning. meteorologist vianey arana is tracking the conditions in southern california. what's the situation right now? they still are seeing those wind gusts upwards of 50 plus. so we're nowhere near the clear. and also how dry it is right now. this red flag warning where you see the areas highlighted in red for southern california, will remain near red flag warning until 2 p.m, but there's fire weather watches that were extended into parts of the evening. so again, the reason for that is for this look at this 10%. with that humidity falling into that 95%. now keep in mind when you think about humidity, we like to see this percentage above 30%. ideally we tend to see a recovery overnight of that humidity, but we haven't seen much of that as the wind speeds pick up. and with that high pressure that dries things out completely. and look at this. we start to see the dry to extreme fire danger category. and if we

look at the wind speeds, we're still seeing 5060 plus mile per hour winds. look at santa clarita. i took this through about 6 a.m. notice into parts of moorpark thousand oaks as well, a lot less for those lower elevation areas. but some of these top ridges, we're talking 80 plus mile per hour winds for southern california. and i want to show you kind of a breakdown of what we're dealing with when it comes to southern california and these fire weather conditions. now mind you, we also saw an increase into that severe category for the drought monitor by 15% in just two weeks. so far, southern california has only seen 16 hundredths of an inch since october of last year, and pair that with strong wind gusts and that low humidity and unfortunately, weather wise conditions. of course, this is just sticking to the weather aspect of it. this creates a very intense situation and we don't really get much relief until late this evening as far as the wind speeds go, but we'll be back with a local update in just a bit. and right now we're going to takake look at how your traffic conditions are doing,

because so far we fared out pretty nicely. aside from the build up at the bay bridge, which is where we're noticing some of those drive times beginning to slow down. westbound 80 towards the bay bridge. right now the metering lights are on and that's about a 14 minutes westbound 82 towards the san mateo bridge. about 13 minutes and no slowdowns at the dumbarton bridge. so we're doing great there. tri-valley also noticing some slowing. a typical slow spot westbound 580 from grant line road to 680. only 25 minutes. we'll have a closer look at the extended forecast. another traffic update in a few minutes. first, let's check in with scott. well good morning. there's lots more to come vianey on today in the bay, including a coming tde war. donald trump says february 1st is the date of all those tariffs. let's go out to the futures this morning. wall street has had a good day yesterday. another good one today. lots of giants may not be in season right now, but one player proving his skills both on and off the field. you won't want to miss it. a lot mor

cases, didn't know they had the government announcing its fining several of the individual bankers. tesla may be a stock to watch. tesla ceo made a gesture twice at a trump rally yesterday. elon musk has been a strong trump supportrter. he was there with the family during the inauguration. he made the gesture once and then turned around and did it again to the crowd behind him. the anti-defamation league spoke out to say that musk deserves the benefit of the doubt on this one, calling it an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm. the central bank of germany and the german defense ministry have both suspended their official accounts on musk's ex. the german chancellor has said he's uncomfortable with musk's support of germany's far right political party. city of paris recently dropped its official account as well. president trump signed a number of executive orders at the white house monday will go over a fuller list when we talk politics. but many did affect the economy, including the crackdown on immigrants. what we

did not see was the institution of the tariffs trump's promised on day one, he said. tariffs on china, mexico and canada would likely come february 1st. the u.s. dollar jumped in value on those comments. the dollar gets stronger during times of conflict and trade. well, that's good if you got dollars. i mean, we all do, right? and it makes travel cheaper. but a strong dollar also makes american products more expensive for people outside the u.s. to buy, like boeing airplanes or u.s. steel or american wheat and corn. one thing to remember, if we get into a tariff war with other countries, people we're at war with are not at war with each other. if other countries raise the price on american goods in response to us raising prices on theirs, they'll still be able to get products from each other at a lower price. president trump also proposed a 100% tariff against any product from a brics country. he the

threatened 100% tariffs on spain, which confused many brics is brazil, russia, india, china and south africa. they're a brics nation. spain. you kno what a brics nation is? well, you'll figure it out, but and if the brics nations want to do that, that's okay. but we're going to put at least a 100% tariff on the business they do with the united states. you know what the brics is right now. there are other countries that did join brics after they came up with the name, just like there are, not every country in nato is on the north atlantic north atlantic treaty organization. either way, though, spain is not a part of brics. they haven't commented yet, but we expect something. no doubt. we'll wait for it. all right. thanks, scott. well, sounds like popping the cork. not quite what it used to be. at least that's if you take to heart a new industry report on global champagne sales. it finds

sales are sinking for a second straight year, including a 10% decline in the last year alone. analysts cite global inflation, economic uncertainty and weather events impacting grapes in france, but they also suggest there's just less celebrating going on these days. well, trending this morning when san francisco giants standout may be used to some slugfests, but his weekend chug fest now capturing the attention on social media. there you have it. giants on saturday, hosting one of four events leading up to the team's annual fan fest celebration. while fans in napa challenged third baseman matt chapman to a beer chugging contest. it was over at napa's beer garden. well, the team posted this video saying chapman basically hit a grand slam, taking only a few seconds as you saw to down a pint. he won the challenge with ease, of course. fan fest, by the way, takes place over at

oracle park on march 8th. he's like, yeah, yeah, i see, i see his college years coming through there a little bit. all right. taking a look outside this morning i was feeling cold. yeah yeah. cold out there. unanimous. you know, to be fair i know we're in california. and if there's folks right now dealing with below subfreezing temps in other parts of the u.s. but for california, this is cold. you guys okay? it's about 39 degrees right now in san jose. and compared to yesterday, we're about two degrees colder right now in downtown san jose. beautiful shot there. look at oakland 37 degrees right now. and as we inch closer towards, you know, areas in the interior, we're seeing several 20s on the map. and notice fairfield still at 27 danville struggling to get into that 30 mark at 29. and then of course in through parts of boulder creek. so these 30s that you're seeing on the map in the upper 20s is the reason why we are in a frost advisory. but i want to show you the 24 hour

temperature change for several spots. so including fairfield, we're running about 16 degrees colder at this hour than we were just yesterday. around the same time, morgan hill, about 16 degrees colder. so if it feels a bit chillier this morning, it is now satellite right now showcasing the clear conditions. thanks to that high pressure that's been reigning dominant keeping us dry. and it's going to keep us sunny through this afternoon. here's what our daytime highs will look like today. san jose 65 degrees in through oakland 63 san francisco i got you in those low 60s. as we inch into the days up ahead. we're still kind of above average for where we should be around this time of year. but again, it's because of this high pressure. so notice the dry conditions that it keeps. that of course, is what's also keeping those humidity levels low, not just for us, but also in through large portion of southern california. so what is in the extended forecast now? i took this ahead into friday and saturday. we were monitoring the development of a system. and if

you notice, it does look like as that system makes its move in, a lot more of that emphasis will be more towards, you know, central and southern california. now it's not looking like a huge rainmaker, but it will be enough to where la could get some of that rain, at least through portions of saturday and sunday. and i'm certain that will definitely help with the concerns for fire danger. and speaking of course, rain. we haven't seen much either in san jose the last time we got a little under half an inch was december 24th. so you might remember that christmas eve storm into christmas day. and since january 1st, we've only seen 11 hundredths of an inch, and a typical rain average to date is a little over an inch. so we're definitely behind there, at least on the water year totals. we're hoping that february plays out a bit more active as far as rainfall, but we're going to end looks like january in a pretty dry note over the next several days. here's what we can expect. that spotty shower chance into saturday for san francisco. and this is what your inland forecast looks like. now. i also

want you to take note of the daytime highs. we're going to drop down into the upper 50s. by the time we inch into that weekend forecast with the approach of that system, but that's actually going to be the biggest impact out of that. all right. now let's get a look at howhose roads are doing. i did want to check in with dublin because i'm starting to notice a building commute. but at least you see that it is moving. no major accidents to report about through this stretch. and as we take a closer look at an area that is definitely busy, it's the bay bridge toll plaza. we saw those metering lights come on just shortly after 5:26 a.m, and notice it's definitely starting to cause some delays. normal delays through there though. not seeing any reports of any accidents on any of the bridges. so that's good news there. a quick check of our speed sensors right now looking green. for the most part. that means that no major slowdowns to worry about through east bay. right now, we've got some slowing from highway four to the bay bridge. you're looking at about 23 minutes, and i'll be back with another look at your weather and your traffic in just a few minutes. thanks so much. well, with wildfires burning in southern california, that raises

chris chmura is here to explain the hardship it can create, and just how easy it is to protect yourself. if the la firestorm mirrors other fire disasters. 67% of homeowners are probably underinsured, which means they'll get less insurance money than the actual cost to rebuild their homes. when we do our surveys after wildfires, it's surprisingly consistent. at two thirds of the people. amy bach heads united policyholders, a nonprofit that's helped families with insurance since 1991. amy says your family blindly becomes underinsured when your policy auto renews each year, but doesn't keep pace with the realistic cost to rebuild your home. well, then, if your house burns down and you don't have enough coverage, you're on the hook to pay the difference. check your policy now and do one math problem. look at the number under dwelling insurance, then divide it by your home's square footage. if that per square foot

insurance per square foot number is somewhere in the $200 range, you're underinsured. amy says 300 to 400 is more realistic. ask a contractor to confirm. then ask your agent about getting more insurance, and you don't have to wait for your policy's renewal date. you can take action today if you have a consumer battle for us to check out, please share your story. scan the qr code on your screen right now to fill out our consumer complaint form online. thank you chris. 626 and we've got a lot more ahead for you at 630 on president trump's inauguration. ahead, our scott mcgrew breaking down everything the commander in chief did on his first day in office. plus, what's likely to come ahead. plus, the search for a new alameda county district attorney. the interview of the seven finalists taking place seven finalists taking place later this afternoon. sta withy

i guess what i'm looking for from you is, i mean, i know how the fire affected me, and there's always a constant fear that who's to say something like that won't happen again? that's fair. we committed to underground, 10,000 miles of electric line. you look back at where we were 10 years ago and we are in a completely different place today, and it's because of how we need to care for our communities and our customers. i hope that's true. [joe] that's my commitment. [ambient noise]

complete restoration of america and the revolution of common sense. it's all about common sense. right now, at 630, he hasn't been at the white house a full d but already president donald trump is changing the country through a long list of executive orders, plus a leadership change. live report on the key meeting set to happen to permanently replace district attorney pamela price,ho was

recalled by voters last november. this is today in the bay. good tuesday morning to you. 630 right now. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. and i'm marcus washington. we'll get to scott mcgrew in just a bit. but first let's get a look at that forecast for you. memeteorologt vianey arana taking a look at those cold temperatures yet again. 35 we've been forecasting these markets. they've been sticking around. and the clear conditions have certainly made for an even bigger drop in those morning lows. you know, marcus said at 35, that's not the only spot in the 30s, though. we're going to see a climb into the 40s until about 9 a.m. once that sunshine is up, it will help warm us up just a bit. and i do want to show you what it looks like in san jose. another spot dipping down into the 30s right now at this hour at about 11 a.m. will be in the 50s. eventually we will climb into the mid 60s through the afternoon. wind speeds today will remain calm. and if you look at san francisco

right about 42 d degrees right now, expect to see afternoon highs in the upper 50s low 60s through the interior. now that frost advisory does expire, and it is expected to expire at about 9 a.m. by the time we inch that afternoon forecast. the good news here is that we will start to see some warmth building in. and that's certainly going to he, because if you notice, we've still got several areas in the 30s and the 20s. so i will be back with another look at forecast. but first let's check in with your traffic and see what's going on in richmond, because i'm definitely noticing a building commute notice there. we're starting to get busy not only in the richmond area, but also the bay bridge toll plaza. certainly another slow spot. we had those metering lights come on at about 528, and n notice just how much we've seen that build up. backing up. i would definitely take some extra time there. i'm sure this is impacting your drive times as well right now. a quick look at your traffic speed sensor maps. i did just see a crash pop up along i-80. i'm

going to get a closer look at exactly what that is, see if it's having any impacts on your commute or if there are any injuries. but bridge drive times right now. here's what you can expect with the bay bridge westbound towards the bay bridge, you're looking at 20 minutes, so definitely take that extra time. i'll be back with an extended forecast in just a few minutes. thanks, vianey. well, president trump has pardoned nearly every participant in the january 6th attack on the capitol. scott mcgrew joins us now. he said he was going to do it, and he did it the first day he did it. okay, so important point, really, because honestly, for the next four years, we're going to be trying to figure out what trump says he'll do and what he will actually do. for instance, he also said he would slap huge tariffs on china and mexico and canada on day one. but he didn't. he did pardon the attackers,ir. yes, sir. first we have a list of pardons and commutations relating to events that occurred on january 6th, 2021. okay. and how many people is this? i think this order will

apply to approximately 1500 people, sir. so this is january 6th, and these are the hostages, approximately 1500 for a pardon? yes. full pardon video here from one of the federal prisons. as friends and family waited for their jailed family members to be released, the law says they have to be released the moment the bureau of prisons is given access to the pardon. there have always been huge differences between trump and biden, but january 6th is one of the biggest. yesterday, when n he ws still president, biden pardoned the police officers who were attacked. then also yesterday, the new president trump pardoned the ones doing the attacking. the police officers had not been accused of crimes, but with his pardon, president biden wand to make sure those officers were not exposed to any legal harassment. president trump said it was all pardons, but later corrected himself to say a few.

around six were commutations. that is, they're still convicted, but they can get out of jail. and chief among them was stewart rhodes, founder and leader of the far right group the oath keepers. he was convicted of seditious conspiracy. he said at the time. his only regret about the attack is they hadn't brought rifles with them. there's a long list of executive orders that trump has signed. we expect him to sign more this week. he took the united states out of the world health organization and the paris accords. the second time he's done that, he instituted a hiring freeze for federal employees, except military. and there were lots of orders to stop immigrants, reuters reporting this morning. 1600 people cleared by the u.s. government and the u.s. military to come to america from afghanistan have been pulled off their flights, reuters says. it includes members of u.s. military, families like spouses and unaccompanied children whose parents are already in america. the white house and state department have not commented. trump also ended america's

asylum program for immigrants from cuba, haiti, nicaragua and venezuela. and he says he ended birthright citizenship. the idea that a child born in american, born in america is american, no matter where his parents are from. this next order relates to the definition of birthright citizenship under the 14th amendment of the united states. and that's a good one. birthright. that's a big one. meantime, trump, ever the showman, showed off the sealed letter that president biden left him in the resolute desk. you'll hear the voice of our peter alexander. president trump, did president biden leave you a letter? he may have. don't they leave it in the desk? i don't know. oh, what's in there? thank you. peter. it could have been years before we found. wow. thank you. katie. what did he say on the outside? maybe we should all read it together. let's read it. well, maybe i'll read it first and then make that

determination. great, peter, thank you very much. i may not have seen this for months. happy to help with the passing of the torch i did. i left him one in the desk, just like this. and video from last night. the president, first lady appearing at several inaugural balls. this is the liberty ball. the vice president and his wife were there as well. moments ago, marco rubio was sworn in as the secretary of state. his appointment was approved by the senate last night. rubio, formerly a political rival of trump's, is now trump's first cabinet member to be approved and sworn in to the job. by the way, as we start a new four years of our checks and balances segment, we have a new graphic. and this is the picture the president wants used as his official picture. marcus. all right, a lot of action happening yesterday and continued today. you were just showing rubio being sworn in. well, scott, before that, secretary of state marco rubio sat down with the today show to discuss the new

role. that's going to come up for you this morning on the today show. that's right after us here on today in the bay. well, later today, alameda county could get a better sense of who will permanently replace district attorney pamela price, who was recalled by voters last november. today in the bay's bob redell joins us live from outside the east county hall of justice in dublin. and bob, the alameda county board of supervisors. they're set to meet this afternoon. right. you are correct. good morning to you, laura. this would be a special meeting at 130 this afternoon. the alameda county board of supervisors will will meet to interview, publicly interview the seven finalists vying to become the next alameda county district attorney who would not only prosecute cases here at the east county hall of justice behind me in dublin, but at the other courthouses throughout alameda county. last november, the voters here in alameda county recalled alameda county district attorney pamela price over criticism that she wasn't tough enough on crime. since

county hall of justice in dublin. bob redell today in the bay. all right, bob, thank you. also today, montgomery monterey county leaders will ratify a local emergency declaration made during the massive fire last week. this is at the vistra energy plant in moss landing. that fire started last thursday. highway one closed through sunday night. happened inside the plant's battery storage facility, and because it involved lithium ion batteries, firefighters decided to just let that fire burn itself out. experts do say that air quality levels are back to normal this week, and epa testing found that most of the toxic chemicals did not make it outside of that facility during the fire. 640 on your tuesday morning, taking a peek outside beautiful live look at the golden gate bridge. clear and cold for this tuesday morning. v. yeah, that's been the headline to start our day. and of course, we've been seeing the dry conditions that will also remain a factor through the next couple of days. so right now in oakland it's about 37 degrees. and we've got several

spots, not only in the 30s, but we've dipped down into the 20s, including fairfield and danville. look at this map here. boulder creek is still at about 26 degrees san jose, dipping down to about 39 right now. that frost advisory will be in place until 9 a.m. and look at the 24 hour temperature change. i mean, we're talking about 16 degrees in fairfield, morgan hill, 13 degrees and satellite right now showcasing those clear skies. but if you notice, we do always keep an eye out in the pacific. and i know folks are wondering, when are we going to see some rain chances around here? well, it's looking less likely for northern california, but southern california could get a sneak peek of that heading into the weekend. daytime highs for today will be comfortable in the low to mid 60s and notice lots of sunshine today in that icon. we've got plenty of clear conditions. now let's get a check of traffic because it is definitely starting to slow down in richmond. this is our live camera right now. notice along the approach we're starting to get some typical morning delays. it doesn't look like anything is being reported. as far as

accidents, it's just that regular morning commute starting to build there. same goes for the bay bridge toll plaza as well. we've got those metering lights on, causing about 15 to 20 minute backup delay through that curve. and if you look at our map right now, i did take a look at that 80 crash. it looks like it's only off to the right hand shoulder. so no, nothing blocking any major freeways right now. we've got mostly smooth commute and your bridge drive times right now, westbound 92 towards the san mateo bridge is starting to show some typical slowing. at about 17 minutes, i'll send it back to you. all right. thanks. vianey. another cash strapped school district facing the painful reality of school closures. in this case, district leaders are trying to get some public feedback first. next. the debate happening later today that you can take part in. no, that's not laura and me. all right, but get ready. is it? look, i want you to get ready to

related. an emotional gathering in hollister to remember three teenagers killed in a south bay crash. mourners attending a car show memorial last night for three hollister high school seniors who died last week in a head on crash near gilroy. the victims were 17 and 18 years old. the mother of one of those boys spoke to us for the first time last night. i feel very appreciative of all the community being here for my son and the other kids, and to see that they were loved like this. it's amazing. it's amazing. victor was a very happy guy. a guy that he liked to move forward all the time, holding no grudges, no nothing. just moving forward in life. the three victims were all riding in the same car, which investigators saveered into oncoming traffic on highway 25. a fourth teenager did survive, as did the driver in the other car. that crash is still under investigation. peninsula leaders want everyone to be prepared when it comes to the threat of wildfires. happening today, they're holding

a virtual webinar on wildfire safety and how to best protect your home and your family. san mateo county's department of energy management is organizing the event. it will focus on topics including defensible space, being prepared, and utilizing free and low cost resources. it all starts at 4 p.m. you can find more information on the county's website. well, today in the bay, getting ready to welcome in the year of the snake and the san jose sharks are getting ready as well. yeah they are. and you know what? we actually got an up close look at that part of the planned celebration. take a look. pretty cool there, right? well, performers from rising phoenix, dragon and lion dance troupe entertained us here at today in the bay studio. they are all taking part in events taking place saturday night over at sap

center. this is when the sharks take on the florida panthers. we actually spoke with sharks public relations director jim sparaco. he says that troupe will be a major part of all of the events before the game starts. so they'll actually bring the dragon in out and they're going to be dropping the puck. they'll also be performing on the concourse pregame and also in the arena bowl during the intermission. and check this out. laura, i got to take part in the ceremonial painting of the lion before it takes the stage. all of this will be featured in the lunar new year celebration at the shark tank, as you mentioned on saturday. game time is at 7 p.m. and all fans will also receive a commemorative beanie. nbc bay area's jim janelle wang will also be attending there. it's very it was an honor to be able to kind of, you know, send it off, right. and by the way, you can catch the entire interview. that's coming up later in our 8 a.m. streaming newscast. the line made its way through the newsroom or the dragon, and it was amazing. yeah, it was cool to see. yeah, we i was asking

some tips, you know, just in case we want to take part in it one year. so we got work to do. we got some work, a lot of work to do. all right. vianey. you've been working hard, keeping track of all this weather. i didn't get to get in on the fun with that yesterday, but you can see it at 8:00, though i sure can. and you can do at home now. right now we are cold. it's about 35 degrees right now in walnut creek. if you look at the temperature trend by about 11:00, we'll start to be in those 50s. and yes, as that sun comes up, it will help us warm up just a bit. but we're going to have a slow, you know, warmer start into about 10 a.m. will be in the 50s, and then eventually we're going to max out in those 60s. san francisco right now it's about 42 degrees. you're going to notice also starting to climb into those 50s. right around 10 a.m, the frost advisory is set to expire at 9 a.m. and if you look at satellite, those clear conditions coincide with a lot of our live cameras showcasing that high pressure that's been keeping us dry, but also

slightly warmer through parts of the afternoon. today, daytime highs will be in the 60s. san jose 65 degrees. martinez 61, san francisco. i got you at about low 60 upper 50s in through the afternoon. the dry conditions will remain, but we're always keeping an eye out in the pacific at what's ahead. so the long range outlook right now shows that high pressure remaining dominant. if you'd like to follow along here this is through thursday. so notice we're going to keep the cold mornings and the mild afternoons. and we were monitoring that saturday sunday forecast for the possibility of some shower activity. notice down through southern california what starts to make its approach. we get a colder system moving through that's going to bring some better rain chances for southern california, but also likely some snow as well for that saturday sunday stretch a lot less as far as the north bay goes, or even areas really northern california. now let's talk about the rainfall percent of average since october 1st, because i want to show you a quick comparison of what we've

seen so far in the bay area, compared to the extreme fire weather in southern california. notice the percentages up top where you're seeing the blue colors there. we're doing good, especially for areas in the north bay. they've gotten over 140% of the rainfall average now, obviously a lot less for areas south of the golden gate bridge. that includes the south bay as well. but we're still doing a lot better when we're looking at a comparison between now pushing this further south to southern california. la has only seen about 1600 of an inch since october of rainfall, so any sort of rain in that future forecast for southern california will, of course, be beneficial when we're dealing with those lower numbers. in addition to the rainfall, we're always monitoring the sierra snowpack. now, we've seen more rain in northern california. therefore our percentage is a bit higher. but if you notice south that comparison between north and south, definitely a bigger discrepancy through there. that also aids of course in the drought conditions. and just for context, that snowpack provides one third of california's water

supply, surface water is just one of it. and groundwater is also something we focus on as well, which depletes a lot quicker. now, let's get a closer look at how the traffic cameras are doing right now. because this is so pretty. this is a live look. no filter. this is just taking it straight from our traffic cameras overlooking dublin. now, aside from the skies, the commute is moving along pretty nicely as well. i haven't seen any major delays in any of our speed sensor cameras. our speed sensors so far have been tracking green, and we did catch some slowing, of course. typical spot that bay bridge toll plaza. very busy, but so far no major accidents. are alerts to report at this hour. i'll send it back to you. thank you very much. well, happening now, vallejo school leaders weighing the possibility of school closures. and they're holding a town hall tonight to try to get public feedback. like other large school districts, vallejo faces a major budget deficit and declining enrollment. right now, stephanie manor elementary and vallejo charter school are on the short
