closing and what's my new schl right now? at 5:00, voicing concerns ahead, we hear from parents who are upset about possible school closures in the south bay. the negative impacts they say this would have on their children. plus, san jose city leaders are facing a serious budget crisis. the multi-million dollar deficit they're now facing and the solution they are now considering. also, new setbacks for president donald trump. this as his administration continues its push to shrink government spending. this is today in the bay. and here we go. 5:00 on your tuesday morning. thanks so much for starting your day with us. i'm laura garcia. and i'm marcus washington. mike is tracking our commute this morning, but want to start things with meteorologist kari hall. she has a look at the forecast for us. and another cold morning. kari. yes. and we are under a frost advisory and a freeze warning for the inland valleys. but it is all mostly clear as you head out across the

bay area. but we will start to see clouds coming in and rain chances overnight into early tomorrow morning. and then a stronger storm arrives late tomorrow night and continues into early thursday with a potential of some heavy rain, gusty winds and that will also pose its own threats. but as we focus on what you're going to feel in the next few hours, cold temperatures with some upper 30s and upper 20s and low 30s across the north bay into solano county der a freeze warning in the inland valleys, where we are already near or below freezing for much of the east bay, and it's going to be another cool afternoon after starting out in the lower 30s. but for now, mike seems like a pretty clear drive. yeah, i think a crisp, clear drive over here getting over from oakland side into san francisco. nice spacing here. the bay bridge, no problem. no advisories, no problems throughout the east bay. a little slowing heading north, actually on toward the golden gate bridge. i think the first of the cruise is starting to

clear from the san francisco side. everything else is at green sensors, cars, contra costa county goes. there is an incident i'm checking on over here in hayward, just off of 880 at hesperian. i believe everything is off to the shoulder, but we'll double check with chp once they give the next update over here. typical little bit of slowing out of the altamont pass because of the volume of traffic starting to build. nothing unusual over here through the tri-valley and vasco, you still have speed out of the county and toward 580. back to you. all right, mike, thank you. families in two more bay area school districts a facing campus closures and the possibility of having to start a new year in a different community. today in the bay's kris sanchez joining us from the newsroom this morning with more on what's happening today kris. well, good morning to you, marcus and laura. so families in san francisco unified have gotten a little bit of relief, but the franklin-mckinley district in san jose is vowing to do what they can to protect their communities. but with budget holes this big, something's got to give. let's start in the franklin-mckinley district, where up to five

schools may close and up to 50 teachers could lose their jobs. the district says they have 40% fewer students than they did just 14 years ago. and lower enrollment, as you know, means fewer funds. parents plan to rally ahead of a board meeting tonight, hoping to get the board to postpone a vote or ditch the vote altogether. one of the schools is captain jason dahl elementary school, named for the united pilot who died on nine over 11. and we talked with some mothers who are not only worried about their kids, academics and social emotional learning, but also what it will mean to go to a different school farther from home. they're running up to teachers and hugging them. they have that sense of community and family there. and every day he's asking my oldest like, is my school closing and what what's my new school? the nearest school would take me about 40 minutes to just get there. and it's just it's hard. now they

are a walking family. so 40 minutes walking in the morning and the afternoon. now school districts, this is the statement from the franklin-mckinley school district. they say school districts throughout california are facing structural budget deficits driven by declining enrollment, lower birth rates and people moving away due to the high cost of living. the statement goes on to say, this is a process that weighs heavily on our community, and we empathize with everyone who may be affected. now, san francisco unified also was discussing its budget today. that is the plan. and on one of the slides in the presentation, the title is keeping the lights on. so that's what we're talking about there. in october, sfusd released a list of 13 schools that would close or merge, but the board directed their newly hired superintendent to stop that plan, at least for the next school year. marcus. all right. thank you, chris. well, in san jose today, budget talks kick off. city leaders are facing a potential $60 million shortfall next year. this comes as lagging

tax sales revenue and increased costs. mayor matt mahan says that there are several avenues to look at to save money and avoid the layoffs. that includes deferring planning work, delaying the opening of a new police training center, and reducing the number of vacant city positions. fremont leaders are expected to finalize their plan crackdown on public camping later today. council members have already approved a new plan to criminalize not only camping on public property, but aiding, abetting or hiding illegal encampments. they approved the ordinance last week. it calls for a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. opponents fear the new rules may actually be used against aid workers providing services for the unhoused. fremont leaders, meantime, insist the new rules will be focused on violators. a federal judge says president trump's administration must temporarily stop a sweeping funding freeze. that ruling forces the white house to fully comply with the previous directive. the judge going as far as threatening to hold criminal contempt if a

temporary restraining order is not followed. it comes as another judge is extending a pause on federal worker buyout offers and a third block the trump administration from slashing research funding through the national institutes of health. the president is pushing back against the judicial checks. no judge should, frankly, be allowed to make that kind of a decision. it's a disgrace. the consumer financial protection bureau is the latest federal agency on the administration's chopping block. the president calls it a waste. democrats are defending the agency, which was created after the 2008 u.s. financial crisis. one week from today, expectant families in hayward will have one less option. saint rose hospital is temporarily closing its family birthing center. the closure could last up to 18 months. the hospital first made the announcement last fall, saying all 17 beds will be closed to allow for a reimagining of the unit. in a new statement, the hospital says it currently sees on average,

less than one birth per day. the hospital also says, quote, this decision was made by the board of directors due to a consistent decrease in the number of births at srh, which has created challenges in maintaining a sustainable, high quality birthing service for our community, unquote. registered nurses are outraged over the decision, claiming it will impact patient safety. the year of the snake will be on full display in san francisco later today. the public has a chance to get a sneak peek at the floats for this year's lunar new year parade in chinatown this weekend. they are over at pier 54 today and tomorrow. reservations are required to get a look at those. according to the chinese new year, the snake represents calmness and introspection, traits seen as important for guiding one's life with wisdom and grace. and the lunar new year festivities continue. of course. keep you informed. just head over to

nbcbayarea.com. a handful of north bay evacuees who recently returned to their flooded homes, fear a repeat may be coming as the next round of rain returns. last week's russian river flooding caused problems in low lying areas of forestville and guerneville, including at river bend resort rv park. many neighbors there ended up parking outside the pub next door up on higher ground. they're now keeping a wary eye on the forecast. a little nervous, i'll be honest, you know. but we'll take it as it comes, you know, go back in the pub if we need to. just started setting it all up again, getting the yard back in order. the entire bay area is set to see some rain tomorrow. meteorologist kari hall is tracking the timeline for us, and the round of rain that we get tomorrow is going to be very light. we're expecting the heavier rain to come in on thursday into friday, so that's when we have the bigger concerns of more flooding coming in. this is a look at the atmospheric river that's on its way. and as

we see the arrival of the rain during the overnight hours into early tomorrow, this first round of rain is going to be very light in and out of here quickly, because already, as we're waking up and heading out tomorrow morning, that rain is moving out, the next heavier rain will start to move in right around midnight for much of the bay ararea. from wednesday night into early thursday morning, and then it just continues with rounds of heavier rain, but pretty much all of the bay area is expecting the same amount of rainfall totals. so we'll talk more about the impacts and how that could affect our weekend plans. that's coming up. mike's been looking around to find us some lower gas prices. yeah, it's getting harder. kari because my local stations and now i'm seeing the averages around the bay go up a bit. gasbuddy does see the national averages coming up. so let's talk about south bay. the low is higher today just by a penny. san jose's 389 is the best we can find. that's at gulf on tully road. the best for santa clara county. same low price for

alameda county at the big box. pleasanton has that. 389 at costco on johnson drive and in the north bay. vallejo has their low for solano county. it's 393 at arco on sonoma boulevard. you go to gasbuddy.com. i hope you can find prices you like, but well, you'll find the prices that are there on the roadways. we're looking at what's not there anymore. i told you that crash was likely going to be cleared north 880 at hesperian. all incidents clear, all lanes clear. and no slowing for that morning commute in either direction. actually, through hayward and san lorenzo, we're looking over here toward 580. a new incident, maybe a hit and run reported at north flynn road west 580, a commute spot where things tend to lighten up. we're still okay for those speeds. back to you. thanks so much, mike. 510 for you thisorning, the world's richest man closes in on openai. and here on today in the bay. elon musk making a massive offer for the company behind chatgpt. the response from openai ceo and a girls school cancels engineering day over dei concerns out to the futures this morning. you can

see all that red. plus put your head on my. shoulder. a memorable audition on the voice for a south bay native ahead who saved the singer from being eliminated at the very last second. much more news ahead. you're watching today in the bay. fall in love.

who's day to you? wall street. digesting the news of new steel and aluminum tariffs. mostly they're waiting to see what other countries are going to do. in response. mcdonald's says sales slowed in the last quarter. part of that might be the hangover from that e coli scare. lyft says it will soon have automated taxis in dallas. elon musk and a group of investors have offered to buy openai, run by sam altman, there on the right. musk was already one of the original investors, but the two are not seeing eye to eye on the future of the company. musk wants it to be a nonprofit with a focus on safety. altman a more commercial focus. musk's group is offering $97 billion for the company, and altman said no. altman says he's worried musk, who has his own ai company, might be trying to slow openai down. no secret the two

don't really like each other. altman appeared with donald trump recently. musk is trump's so-called first buddy. okay. interesting story. this is a girls school in charleston, south carolina. our affiliate tv station reports school administrators canceled a girls engineering career day after the organizers said federal workers, air force pilots, coast guard pilots said they could no longer participate because of rules trump's broad order to endident federal dei included participation in girls science days, but it is a good example of the confusion that vague executive orders cause. we've asked the white house about it. all right. i'm sure your friends and family have already sent you a screenshot, but google maps has done as it said it would and changed the label on the gulf of mexico to the gulf of america. this, after trump ordered the name change on the federal level. google uses government

names for locations. turkey recently changed the spelling of its name. google changed the map. you may have seen this over the weekend. the governor of illinois says he's making a change. chicago, illinois sits on the shores of the massive lake michigan lake michigan. governor pritzker of illinois says enough of that. a great lake deserves to be named after a great state. so today i'm issuing a proclamation declaring that here and after lake michigan shall be known as lake illinois. the proclamation has been forwarded to google to ensure the world's maps reflect this momentous change. as we were putting this together, someone in the newsroom said this. this is a joke, right? and i said, oh, yes, of course it is. and i thought, well, i'm pretty sure. yeah, these days it's hard to tell. yeah, it's a joke. very much so. san francisco bay is still the bay, right? next week it will be the oakland bay. i'm just saying. who knows? they tried that with the airport already, right? yes they did. very true. thanks,

guys. 517 for you right now. and we are now less than oneear out from the 2026 winter olympics. and milan, italy, almost ready to host thousands of athletes from around the world. now construction of the six buildings that are going to make up that core structure of the olympic village recently wrapped, and this is the first time milan will actually host the games, sharing the honor with the town of cortina, which some 250 miles east of milan. now this will be the most spread out winter games ever, spanning nearly 10,000mi■!s. the olympics will run from february 6th through the 22nd, and the paralympics will follow on march of 2026. nbc bay area, of course, is your home for all things olympics. make sure you join the today show tomorrow morning live from milan. they will preview the venues and look at the host city and of course, right here on today in the bay, we are highlighting bay area

athletes representing as well and training for you this morning. a south bay singer has performed his way on nbc's the voice to cabeza mi otro gaugh. nadira. ahora de b-boy. that was 25 year old ricardo moreno, originally from san jose but now living in tracey. he sang a rendition of paul anka's put your head on my shoulder with a bit of a latin twist. while his performance didn't initially get any chairs to turn, michael buble had second thoughts and decided to use his replay button to add ricardo to his team. ricardo is now more than ready to be on team bublé. how do i feel? i feel, i feel great, i feel surprisingly not nervous. not, you know, i'm comfortable. i'm just i'm ready to get this ball rolling. i'm mostly excited working with michael buble.

just. i mean, i've always been a big fan of michael bublé. so now the fact that i'm getting to work with him and vocalizing with him is amazing. make sure you tune in to cheer on ricardo on the voice. it airs right here on nbc bay area every monday night at 8:00. i saw that audition and i thought, i'm surprised no one turned around. and then when they came and said, boom! i was like, okay, i can see that. did you text michael buble? i was like, dude, what are you doing? and then he went, he was like, okay, marcus, i got you. so, you know, i'll be there to help out later. no. just kidding. phoning a friend. all right. different show. got you. oh, we can phone our friend. don't need to do that. we can just talk to her. kari. okay. weather wise, we can do that all the time, though. yeah. what's the weather going to be like here? it's kind of cold. we do a pretty wild over the next few days, changing quite a bit. it's just cold this morning and all clear. and it's 36 in walnut creek as you're stepping out the door, 37 in san jose and palo

alto and 41 in san francisco. but look at this big storm system that is just about to make its way into the west coast and making an impact as well. so let's talk about what we're expecting here with this atmospheric river. a little bit of rain during the overnight into early tomorrow, and then some of the heavier rain arriving tomorrow. continuing into friday, there will still be an elevated landslide threat, mainly near the coast and in the north bay hills. and then we'll be watching those creeks and streams. river levels are expected to stay below flood stage, but some of the smaller tributaries may flood or rise very quickly as we get that heavy rain as well as we're expecting some heavy sierra snow. so let's talk about the timeline. so we're at 4:00 here. it's just cloudy across the bay area with some light rain offshore, and then at around 10 to 11:00 into midnight we're seeing some rain. it will be pretty steady, but already at 4:00 we're seeing this round of rain tapering off, and then we

get a break for several hours tomorrow. and then by late tomorrow night into early thursday, we see the heavier rain coming in. and it's pretty much all of the bay area. there won't be a particular area that gets hit harder than another, although we are expecting some of the highest rainfall totals to be over the santa cruz mountains, and that may also push into the south county with some heavier rain. but because the ground is so saturated in the north bay, we may also see some of the impacts there as well. so looking at the rainfall totals once again pretty uniform from the north bay to the south bay. but notice how spots like ben lomond can get over four inches of rainfall, and that could flow down into some of the south bay lakes as well as the reservoirs. and for the sierra, a couple of feet of snow, possibly up to four feet in some areas. a lot of heavy snow over a short span. and then it does dry out for the weekend. saturday for all of those outdoor activities is looking good, but it will stay mostly

cloudy. mike, you're starting to see a bit of a commute. yeah, just like we should. we should see a little more car car volume here at the bay bridge toll plaza. too early for those metering lights. another maybe 15 or 20 minutes here. and the approaches are looking great through the maze. no delays throughout contra costa county. the north bay, the first right on schedule. break taps over at merritt island. the volume starts to build out of vallejo, heading over toward 101, eventually in novato, then south towards san rafael. for many of our commuters in that in that flow of traffic south of the bay bridge, we're looking at a nice easy drive right here, just a little slowing out of the altamont pass. pretty standard. back to you. thank you. mike, and ensuring internet safety next here on today in the bay. the steps one popular game is taking just to make sure that parents have the ability to monitor their kids online with their gaming activity. but as we head to break a reminder. golden state warriors face the dallas mavericks for the third time this season. tomorrow, make sure to tune in to nbc sports bay area for warriors pre and post game live coverage starting at

impact on kids. we recently spoke with a representative for roadblocks video game very popular with kids. she says parents can take measures to protect their kids when it comes to online harassment on roblox. we encourage parents to start their own roblox account. they can create an avatar and a username, and then once they have their own account, they can link their account to their children's account, and then they'll have visibility into who they're talking to and what they're playing, and set things like screen time limits. she also says concerned roblox users can always report potential violators on our. 8 a.m. newscast. i'll talk live with a tiktok representative about the steps that app is taking to try to keep kids safe. it's 526 right now and next here on today in the bay. and new stories we're following, including up on the san francisco parkland. we have more on that crash, which left multiple people injured. the new video showing the moment of impact and what we're now learning happened right before the crash. the city of fremont

about to vote on a new ordinance that would crack down on homeless encampments. the reason homeless advocates says this new law will put a target on them.

i'm not happy with the way that pg&e handled the wildfires. yeah. yeah. i totally, totally understand. we're adding a ton of sensors. as soon as something comes in contact with the power line, it'll turn off so that there's not a risk that it's gonna fall to the ground and start a fire. okay. and i want you to be able to feel the improvements. we've been able to reduce wildfire risk from our equipment by over 90%. that's something i want to believe. [skateboard sounds] we are golden 1. california's trusted credit union.

for nearly a century, we've taken every chance to empower our members, serve our communities, and build brighter futures. because we believe that every single one of us is on a journey. but it's when we come together, that we become the unstoppable that we become the unstoppable one. join us. golden 1 credit union. life is a journey best lived together. a crackdown on homeless camps. the bay area city is set to vote on a strict new camping ban. ahead, the reason, some advocates say if approved, it could be a major gut punch for

those in need. plus, with more rain on the way, people in sonoma county are now worried about seeing even more flooding in their neighborhoods. this, as many continue to recover from last week's storms. the precautions they're taking this time around. also a ticketing change in san francisco. the city's new plan to implement california's daylighting traffic safety law, and what all drivers need to know. this is today in the bay. and good morning to you on this terrific tuesday. i'm marcus washington. i'm laura garcia. you always try to sprinkle that in. it makes me laugh. hey let's start out with a terrific tuesday forecast, then with meteorologist kari hall. she is tracking this incoming rain. yeah, we can enjoy more of the sunshine for at least a little while longer before all of these clouds come in. and we are preparing for another round of rain. this is an atmospheric river that will be arriving heading into thursday, with a quick round of rain out ahead of that between

late tonight into early tomorrow morning, and it's mostly going to be some light rain that we see for the early morning commute and then for tomorrow evening into early thursday, the rain gets heavier and there will be some pockets of heavy rain really starting to ramp up as we go towards thursday morning. so the expected rainfall across the bay area pretty uniform anywhere from an inch and three quarters to over two inches, and it could be as high as over four inches for the santa cruz mountains. all of that heavy rain has to flow somewhere, and we'll be watching our rivers. where in like spots like the russian river guerneville. it looks to stay below the minor flood stage, but just depending on how heavy that rain gets, we will have to closely watch all of our rivers, creeks, and streams. so we'll be following the impacts of that, as well as talk about what to expect over the next few days. laura, thanks so much. people really have to be concerned about the forecast, especially up in the north bay.

as kari mentioned, some people who live in sonoma county have just actually settled back into their homes after evacuating last week because of flooding, only to possibly get flooded out again today in the bay's ginger conejero saab live for us in the north bay. ginger, i know you were out there the last go around. and what are officials saying now, especially about being on alert? well, when we spoke to sonoma county sheriff's office last week, marcus and laura, they said flooding is somewhat expected every winter. they get it year in and year out. but landslides were something that were a bit more unexpected and terrifying, particularly for people that lived in this home in unincorporated santa rosa. this is around the deer trail court area. this home actually was the victim of a landslide. a mother and daughter were rescued by sonoma county fire district as a landslide hit their home and trapped them inside. they were rescued safely. their home red

tagged. now, during our coverage last week, other homes were either red tagged or under evacuation orders in that area. many more under evacuation warnings. there was another home in forestville that floated into the russian river. you can see the roof of the home kind of bobbing in the water. sonoma county fire told us. fortunately, that was a vacation home and did not have people in it at the time. here's a russian river overflowing into the low lying areas. this over forest hills riverbend resort rv park. last thursday, a jeep got tossed around by the water. that water so high a kayak was the only way of getting in and out. now rain returns, as kari was mentioning, and heavy downpour downpours expected on thursday, that guerneville area is expected to get more than an inch and a half. with the river already swollen last night. folks are jumping in to help. the biggest need is to find out what are the next steps. you know, what do i do? i've just been displaced

from my home. maybe i was living in a mobile home park. the mobile home parks under water. now what do i do? now, salvation army is teaming up with the county to help residents pick up boxes of food, awell as share other resources. resources. i know we'll continue to track that wet weather and the damage, the potential damage, because it can get really dangerous and scary for people out there. we're live in the north bay ginger conejero saab. today in the bay. all right, ginger, thank you. and don't forget when a storm is rolling through the bay area, you can actually track it with our free nbc bay area app. you can get storm ranger data. bay area's only mobile doppler radar. storm ranger is closer to the ground, so it gets a better scan of your neighborhood and can see rain, fog, even smoke. our app is free and available for all smartphone devices. time now for a look at our morning commute. yeah, i'm also pretty close to the ground, so we're looking over here close to the bay bridge for this shot. a smooth drive. you can see the volume increasing a bit. no

surprises. no metering lights and no backup at the toll plaza. the sensors do show a little bit of slowing on the incline. again, we lose about half the lanes as folks narrow onto the span. and that's typical as we see the build holding steady. a little more slowing for highway 37. i've seen. there we go. the brake tap starts over here, pittsburg bay point and into concord for westbound highway four. so contra costa county. the build is on for highway four. 242 and eventually 680. we'll see that interchange slow a bit, but that's not for another hour. if it goes on schedule, we're okay for the tri-valley and the rest of the east bay. south bay starting to show a little break. tap here. north 101 right around oakland road. pretty typical timing for that section of the bay. and as we look at the bridges, good timing. we're starting to pick up the volume. so a little bit of slowing on the bay bridge. no surprises. san mateo dumbarton bridge at speed. back to you. all right. thanks, mike. well, happening today, fremont possibly poised to enact one of the strictest ordinance yet when it comes to banning encampments. and advocates say it goes way too far. today in the bay's bob redell live for us outside of fremont city hall. and bob, no

leaders there saying that the plan focuses on violators. but critics fear that even volunteers may be considered offenders here. that's their allegation. yes. good morning to you, marcus. one homeless outreach group here in fremont tells us that this new proposed ordinance would not only criminalize homelessness, but would also target them. people who are simply just trying to help these people who live on the street. so tonight at seven, here at city hall, the city council will vote on this new ordinance that would not only ban encampments on any public property and private property not specifically designed for camping, but would also make it a crime to, quote, aid and abet an illegal encncampment. those caught breaking the law could face possible jail time and a $1,000 fine last time. our own raj mathai spoke with fremont's mayor, who said that the city has no intention of targeting groups who help the unhoused, and claims that other cities in the bay area use the same aiding and abetting language in their

municipal codes as well. so this is not unique language to the city of fremont. it's a language that's commonly found, and the intent is to prevent large wooden structures, like in the waterways or in the parks, that are not only not safe for the community, but also not safe for the people, the unhoused people that live in them. and so we will never enforce any of these provisions on people that want to give water or food or supplies or tent or even the outreach workers. a case of whack a mole where you're just moving people around or potentially arresting them up to six months in jail, or $1,000 of fines that they can't pay. or worse still, arresting people like our friends at the dominican sisters of mission san jose that go to the osgood encampment and feed the poor and clothe the poor as part of their mission of mercy. they too, could be arrested under the aiding and abetting provision of this ordinance. the mayor of

fremont told us his city has reduced homelessness by 21% over the past two years, and has built almost 2000 affordable housing units. so again, the city council will be voting on this new proposed ordinance at 7:00 tonight, which is during a regular city council meeting here at fremont city hall. reporting live here in fremont. bob redell today in the bay. i can see a lot of people taking interest in this, especially with a lot of volunteers out there. all right. thank you so much, bob. san francisco transit leaders are drawing the lines when it comes to enforcing new fines for parking in so-called daylighting zones. the state law took effect january 1st. it bans parking within 20ft of an intersection approach. transit leaders agreed to hold off enforcing it until march 1st. in a statement, the mta says violators will only be issued fines for parking in marked zones. that means those visibly painted red. violators will be fined more than $100. the mta also debated a lower $40 fine

for parking in unmarked zones, but that plan is now being scrapped in favor of a zero cost warning until the curbs can be painted red. now to a follow up on those frightening moments over the weekend in san francisco's mission district. new surveillance video showing the moment an suv slammed into the parklet along 24th street. six people were hurt due to that collision. now, police are saying that this all stemmed from a chase with the officers after they were advised that that vehicle may have been involved in an earlier theft in berkeley. that parklet is owned by the napper tandy. it's a popular neighborhood irish pub, and the owners say that bar patrons there quickly sprung into action. everybody banded together. yeah, everybody banded together. i mean, most people were out there lifting up chairs, lifting up debris, checking for people. all six people who were involved in that crash are expected to survive. the two women in the suv were arrested. that chase is raising some questions by some over the

new pursuit powers granted to police under proposition e. police say officers never exceeded 45mph during that chase. redwood city leaders are joining a growing chorus in calling for the removal of embattled san mateo county sheriff cristina corpuz. council members voted in favor of measure a last night. it would give san mateo county supervisors the power to remove sheriff corpus from office. leaders in millbrae, san mateo and san carlos have approved similar resolutions. sheriff corpus has repeatedly denied allegations made in an independent report that included abuse of power, nepotism and racism. voters will determine her future in a special election march 4th. 541 right now, as we take a live look across walnut creek this morning, you can see just how cold it is. look closer. you can see that fog there, or smoke coming from some heating mechanism out there. i don't know, but i can tell you it is cold out there. it is kari

hall. more on all of that because we're dealing with the freeze warning there. that frost advisory. i mean, it's really cold. it is cold. and we are seeing these areas shaded in either blue or purple dealing with the coldest temperatures. also some patches of frost or ice. so just a heads up about that as you're getting your tuesday started. and take a look at the current temperatures. we're at 30 in sonoma, also 30 in danville and 33 degrees in dan in livermore, with oakland starting out the morning at 38 degrees. so a lot of the bay area in the 30s now and staying in the 50s for this afternoon. eventually we'll start to see more clouds coming in and we'll be getting ready for rain set to arrive tonight. and mike, you're already seeing some backups forming. yeah. and it may form more quickly over the next few minutes. so we have the metering lights that are likely turn on at this time. although not registered on the chp system, we see the backup visible here. in fact, those metering lights may likely slow down a bit more than normal because of a crash. four vehicles reportedly involved over near the fifth street exit there, the off ramp getting off

of the bay bridge in the san francisco side. this should clear quickly based on the details i saw, but before it does, we have a quick build up again. they may slow those metering lights longer than you expect, and that may cause a little more backup coming off the berkeley curve. we'll watch that at a critical point in the commute over here. this is a counter commute eastbound five at highway 13. minor crash, westbound 80 at el portal. also a crash on the shoulder. and so far, the distribution of slowing is there highway 37 and in concord. we're looking ahead to tonight a warning for folks from alameda to oakland that posey tube has overnight scheduled maintenance. you know those bridgeges to the south. that's w you get from alameda back to the mainland. back to you. all right, there you go. thanks, mike. ■542 right now, moving the bay area forward on artificial intelligence. still ahead on today in the bay, the organization offering important tips for finding your next job. and federal courts keep saying no to president trump. so what happens next. that's coming up. first here's investigative reporter candice nguyen, months

into a criminal investigation by the state justice department, a major east bay health system ceo is leaving, and she's heading to a similar health care system in california. what we know about the scrutinized agency she's been leading for years now accused of ignoring patient medical needs. watch right n onow

dave's been very excited about saving big with the comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. five years? -five years. and he's not alone. -high five. it's five years of reliable gig speed internet.

five years of advanced securit. five years of a great rate that won't change. it's back. but only for a limited time. high five. five years? -nope. comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. powering five years of savings. powering possibilities. comcast business. right now, the courts are

blocking president donald trump from carrying out some of his controversial plans. scott mcgrew is here right now. okay. so, scott, you just told us yesterday to be on the lookout and watch out to see if the white house defies courts. right. little did we know, it had already happened. it had already happened, at least according to a federal judge. we were going to wait and see. but then a federal judge in rhode island said the white house had already violated a court order to unfreeze all that federal funding the white house. growing frustrated. and there's some talk around the edges about defying the courts. here's the president flying back from the super bowl. no judge should be. no judge should, frankly, be allowed to make that kind of a decision. it's a disgrace. the court decision about freezing funds is just one of several places the white house finds itself at odds with the court. a court has paused trump's reduction of funds to the national institutes of health. nih. yet another judge continued to pause trump's offer to buy out federal workers. a federal

court has also stopped elon musk from accessing treasury computers. another court paused the shutdown of the u.s. aid agency. now, many of these are temporary pauses while the court considers the case. but they are big speed bumps for the white house. vice president jd vance tweeted earlier this week judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power. okay, this takes some parsing rewrite the way he wrote it legitimate power. but the judiciary is absolutely able to block what it decides is illegitimate. that's essentially why the judiciary is there and is a major part, or at least a third of checks and balances. jordan king abdullah has a day ahead of him. he's headed to the white house for a meeting with president trump, who wants him to take in millions of palestinians from the gaza strip. president trump says he wants to evacuate gaza, build

hotels and other attractions. he calls it the riviera of the middle east. a reminder, the united nations says the forced move of an entire people is a crime against humanity. yesterday, mr. trump said the palestinians had no right to return home, that they should go to egypt and jordan. here are his most recent thoughts. would you withhold aid to these countries if they don't agree to take in the palestinians? yeah, maybe. sure. why not? you mean if they don't agree? if they don't agree, i would. i would conceivably withhold aid. yeah. president trump also said, quote, all bets are off and let hell break loose. if hamas does not finish releasing israeli hostages by saturday. further inserting himself into the tenuous israeli-hamas ceasefire. the department of justice has dropped his charges against new york mayor eric adams. adams had been accused of bribery and wire fraud. prosecutors still need a judge to sign off on this, and

the president pardoned former democratic illinois governor rod blagojevich, who was accused of trying to sell the senate seat vacated by then illinois senator barack obama. governors appoint senators when the office is vacated in obama's case because he became president. blagojevich had been in prison for eight years. the former governor caught on a recording saying he wasn't going to give up that senate appointment for just nothing, but he says that was just all talk. thank you very much, scott. well, switching gears, navigating the world of ai can be a challenge for anyone. but now, one north bay nonprofit is trying to help seniors also facing the changing job market. we spoke with the founder of i and you, which is working to move the bay area forward. she warns job seekers that technology is here to stay, so don't ignore it. seniors are looking for a consulting job or a new job. it's incredibly important and helpful today to be able to say, i understand i

basics and here's why i have you use generative ai. i have tried these new tools. that is critical at this time. her new program is called ai and seniors. it includes a video explainer series, curated resources, and answers to frequently asked questions. new users must first sign up to access that information. we've posted a link on our website, nbcbayarea.com. well, tonight on nbc, the team at saint denis medical continues their f first season of their mockumentary. mike inouye actually got a chance to speak with the stars. allison tolman and josh lawson both spoke about their characters and how they evolve through their work as an ensemble. then the writers start to, like, know your voice as an actor. they write to your strengths. you know the strengths of your fellow actors, and so you kind of like lob them up for each other. so i think the show just like, continues to gel more and more as it goes on. yeah, i mean, i think bruce was very different before i got cast. and once they'd cast and

met me, they were like, oh, maybe he's like, maybe bruce is arrogant and a jerk and a blowhard. i was like, what are you. what are you saying? you can watch saint denis medical tonight and every tuesday at 8:00 right here on nbc bay area. 551 for you right now and trending this morning, preparing for a once in a lifetime homecoming saturday night live revealing some of the former cast members coming back for the 50th anniversary special. live from new york. it's saturday night. that's the show's very first sketch, which you'll actually be able to relive this saturday night. but the guest for sunday special now include you saw him there, chevy chase, and at least three other original cast members. the only surviving cast members still not listed is dan aykroyd. other alums scheduled to appear include eddie murphy, adam sandler, tina fey, and kate

mckinnon. here's a look at the entire slate of snl 50 events. the homecoming concert airs live friday night at 5:00 on peacock. saturday, you can catch a re-airing of the very first episode. then on sunday, it's the three hour special. it airs live on nbc bay area starting at 5 p.m, and it includes a red carpet event that starts at four. it's going to be a lot of fun, no doubt. a lot of laughs. yeah, th'd be cool to see. the very first episode i never even thought about, you know, watching that. yeah. chevy chase. yeah. the fashions alone will be. we'll see how things evolve. exactly. all right, well, evolving with this weather. just cold and then cold again. yeah. and then rain on the way. right. nothing fun about that. cold and rain as we go into the next couple of days. so let's get a look at what to expect in san jose. starting out with temperatures near or even just above freezing here will be at 37 degrees at 7:00, and at 9:00 it's sunny and starting to

warm up. but then here comes the clouds, and that's going to keep that warm up from really going up much higher than the mid 50s for today. here's what to expect with the new atmospheric river coming in. so we start out late tonight into early tomorrow with a little bit of rain coming in, but then it gets heavier and more widespread. rain expected late thursday into friday, and then an elevated landslide threat will return as we see the heavy rain continuing for several hours, and we'll be watching the creeks and streams, expecting the rivers to stay below flood stage. but some of the smaller creeks and streams may rise very quickly, as well as some heavy, heavy sierra snow. so here's a look at what to expect. here we are at 5:00. we're seeing some light rain moving into marin county and san francisco, and then quickly ending as we go toward early tomorrow morning. so there's not a lot of activity expected during late tonight and then into tomorrow at 9:00, we see the rain coming back and

spreading across the bay area with waves of rain into thursday, and it looks like some of the heaviest rain is early on thursday into friday. so with this, the two storm systems arriving moving through the bay area, we could see rainfall totals anywhere from close to two inches for san francisco to over four inches for ben lomond and parts of the santa cruz mountains. as far as our reservoirs across the state, we're doing pretty well, a lot of them at about 84% of capacity. but for the bay area, our south bay reservoirs really need a lot more water, and we're going to see more of that into the next few days. so that will help us out with our water levels. but once again, when we get all of that heavy rain in a short period of time, that may raise the concerns about some flooding, at least temporarily. and then looking at the weekend, it does clear out, but it will stay mostly cloudy. mike, you're hearing about a crash on the bay bridge? yeah, we've been tracking that over here. most of

the bay. i want to show folks is looking pretty good over here. coming into castro valley. i'm concerned about a crash on eastbound 580, and i'll follow up on that. but right now, the biggest backup and looks like the biggest recovery seems to be on the bay bridge. an earlier crash. four vehicles westbound 80 off the bay bridge at fifth. looks like they may have cleared some lanes. we have recovery for those speeds coming across the span. we're looking at a smoother drive over here on the san francisco side, getting in toward the tunnel and treasure island and up the incline. still quite slow in the backup. did fill in the bay bridge toll plaza, so that way is waiting for you. back to you. all right. thanks, mike. happening now. three san francisco men face charges following recent string of burglaries at palo alto restaurants. in all three cases, police say several men entered through the back doors in the middle of the night. safes containing thousands of dollars were stolen. the trio was allegedly subcontractors for a company that provided overnight cleaning services to those restaurants. they face felony burglary and conspiracy charges. a tragic loss being felt close to home. one of the victims from
