good morning. it is sunday,

march 2nd, 7:00. as we take this live look outside. cloudy skies, but you can see that golden sunshine. trying to break through on a rainy morning. as we look over san francisco and the transamerica pyramid. thank you so much for starting your sunday morning with us. i'm kira klapper cinthia pimentel has a quick look at our microclimate forecast. and you warned us the rain was on its way. it was pouring on my drive this morning. i know we've seen some pockets of heavy rain this morning as that front starts to push on through. it's a great start right now through fremont anand the south bay. picking upn that light rain storm. ranger, our mobile doppler radar is busy this morning. tracking everything is close to the ground as possible, so let's give it a closer look. here we are seeing a break there through the north bay. i think some runners are getting ready for the napa valley marathon. that activity here it is picking up from san francisco down into parts of san mateo, over on into hayward. what i wanted to show you down here in the south bay is, yes, some light showers, but

also we're looking at those pink colors, maybe some specks of snow, as those temperatures are much colder aloft, which could bring a chance of some thunderstorm activity as we go through the early morning hours. a break through the middle part of the day. but there is more in that 7-day forecast. i'll show you coming up in about 15 minutes. kira. we'll see you then. cinthia. thanks. we want to start with this breaking news. a deadly pedestrian crash in the south bay. it happened just after two this morning on south white road in san jose. this is right next to mount pleasant high school. police say they responded to find a man in the road with major injuries, and he later died there in the road right now. south white road is closed in both directions from mount mckinley drive to rocky mountain drive. people are being told to avoid that area. we will continue to update this story as we learn more. we are also following breaking news out of the middle east. israel is stopping all humanitarian aid into the gaza strip. nbc news is

reporting that aid trucks are piling up at the rafah crossing, which is the border between egypt and gaza. egypt did help broker january's csefire deal between israel and hamas. that country now condemning israel's move, saying it is using starvation as a weapon. meanwhile, hamas is accusing israel of sabotaging the ceasefire agreement they signed in january. the first phase of that ceasefire expired yesterday. negotiations for the second phase have been stalled for weeks. israel says hamas is refusing to accept its proposal to extend the first phase of the deal, warning that if hamas continues its refusal, there will be further consequences. back here in the u.s, hundreds of employees have been fired from both the national weather service and the national oceanic and atmospheric administration, or noaa. that happened in the latest wave of cuts by elon musk's department of government efficiency. today in the bay's marianne favro has a look at how these cuts could impact our

state and the ever growing fire season. during the raging fires in southern california. national weather service meteorologist provided critical data to help crews battle the inferno. but now, in an effort to reduce government spending, white house officials say more than 600 employees with the national oceanic and atmospheric administration, or noaa and national weather service he been laid off. many scientists say the move could put our safety at risk. we need to know, you know, when the rain is coming, how strong the winds are. those are like critical pieces of information so that emergency responders have good data so they can they can work and help save lives. northern california congressman jared huffman, a member of the u.s. natural resources committee, issued a statement saying people nationwide depend on noaa for free, accurate forecasts, severe weather alerts, and emergency information. adding the cuts will quote cost lives. others

are concerned some national weather service offices, staffed 24/7, may be forced to close. it is very conceivable that there will be not be enough forecasters to keep these offices continually running. 24 seven. and what will happen to the forecast and warnings is of great concern to us. most of those laid off were probationary employees, but scientists say the entire nation will be hurt the most without the most accurate data on everything from climate change to tornadoes. it's really undermining the science that we do. and there are two other possible impacts. pg&e uses noaa data to help predict heat waves and storms in order to manage the energy grid. and universities rely heavily on noaa data for research. marianne favro today in the bay. we have an update in the search for a gunman who ambushed a police officer in a quiet, upscale

peninsula communinity. that shooting happened a week ago yesterday. hillsborough police are releasing this sketch of the suspected shooter. he said to be in his mid 20s and about five foot six. police say he shot an officer in the parking lot of the hillsborough police department in broad daylight. it happened around 4:00 last saturday. witnesses say the man ran down el camino real from floribunda avenue after the shooting. the injured officer did survive and is expected to make a full recovery. police are asking for help identifying that person of interest. so again, here's a look at that sketch one more time. witnesses say the man had a slim build at the time. he was wearing a black hat, black jacket and dark jeans with rhinestones on the back pockets. investigators are asking for security camera footage from anyone who lives or owns a business near the hillsborough police department, not far from downtown burlingame. now to a follow up to a standoff we

brought to you as breaking news yesterday morning, an hours long standoff with san jose police ended with a burglary suspect under arrest. it all started around 530 yesterday morning at lincoln liquor in san jose's willow glen neighborhood. police were responding to that call about the burglary in progress. the thief barricaded himself inside. as jpd surrounded the store. and they say it took about three hours for that suspect to surrender. no one was hurt. protests across the bay area yesterday aligned with demonstrations across the nation in response to the trump administration's recent policy changes in the east bay. a protest against using a former prison as an immigration and customs enforcement detention center. this is in dublin at the former federal correctional institution, dublin, which was a low security prison for female inmates. hundreds of people demonstrated at the corner of dublin boulevard and arnold

road. they want fci dublin taken off the list of sites. ice is considering to jail undocumented immigrants. fci dublin, as you might know, was closed last year after findings of sexual abuse, mismanagement and health risks. we have to stop the assault on immigrant communities in this country. we cannot let ice keep terrorizing our neighbors and loved ones. and we need to close down prisons that are unsafe. and across the bay in san francisco, protesters also were vocal at the. do not comply rally for trans rights. hundreds came together in the nob hill neighborhood, which is a historic lgbtq location. organizers urge supporters not to comply with what they call discriminatory policies, law and decisions coming out of the white house. they also blasted the recent decision to bar trans people from serving in the military. when i say protect

you, say our park. protect our parks protect. meanwhile, protesters gathered in san francisco's presidio, joining a nationwide day of action taking place at national parks across the country. people were calling out the trump administration's firing of about 1000 park employees last month. supporters marched toward fort mason, vowing to continue speaking out. meanwhile, hundreds of federal workers on friday received a second email asking them to list what they accomplished over the past week at work. and now they're learning this will be a weekly requirement. today in the bay's alyssa goard continues our coverage. the email came in late friday. federal employees from several departments said the office of personnel management told them to reply with five things they did last week and to do this every week. i think it's going to cause a lot of frustration and anger. we spoke on the phone with two federal employees who live in the bay

area. we've distorted their voices and are hiding their real names to protect their identities. they're afraid of losing their jobs. one will call charles. he works for fema. by and large, most of us are first and foremost public servants. and claire, with the department of energy. i and my colleagues are hard working. they plan to reply to this latest email, but they question the purpose behind it. if they want to increase efficiency, they shouldn't approach things with an ax. they need to approach them with a scalpel. what is happening now is not about efficiency. it is about something else. protect our hearts. this comes as federal employee unions and supporters are pushing back on cuts by the trump administration. thursday, a federal judge in san francisco ordered the office of personnel management to stop telling other departments to fire probationary employees. don neubauer's group helped argue in favor of the federal workers. the plaintiffs prevailed that we would likely succeed, and that there was harm

being done to parks and other agencies across the country. he expects the park workers he knows will comply with this latest email request. most of the employees i talked to are worried about getting fired. a lot of them have mortgages. the office of personnel management has not replied to our request for comment. alyssa goard. today in the bay. 710 right now on your sunday morning, we have much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up, we take you live to washington, d.c. for our weekly interview with kristen weekly interview with kristen welker, who has a preview when migraine strikes, do you question the trade-offs of treating? ubrelvy is another option. it works fast, and most have migraine pain relief within two hours. you can treat it anytime, anywhere.

tell your doctor all medicines you take. don't take if allergic or with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. get help right away for allergic reactions like trouble breathing; face, mouth, tongue, or throat swelling; which may occur hours to days after. side effects include nausea and sleepiness. migraine pain relief starts with you. learn how abbvie could help you save on ubrelvy.

will address congress on tuesday. before that, he signed on to a house republican budget blueprint and senate republicans work to avert a government shutdown. please join me in welcoming kristen welker, moderator of meet the press. hi, kristen. great to see you as always this morning. so much to talk about, but i want to focus

on republicans pushing for nearly $1 trillion in spending cuts while somehow promising not to cut medicaid or medicare. how is this spending showdown unfolding on capitol hill? well, it's a showdown. you hit the nail on the head here, and it's great to be with you. i pressed house speaker mike johnson on the program about this very question. how are you going to get these cuts without cutting medicare, medicaid and social security? and he points to the fact we're going to root out waste, fraud and abuse that only covers a portion of how much it would take to get the amount of spending cuts that they are aiming for, some $900 billion. and i have to tell you, he is quite skeptical. senator bernie sanders, who says they're basically going to have to gut entitlements in order to get those programs. so he's not buying it. he's not buying the denials. and he argues that social security could be next. so a lot of fiery discussion coming up on the program, which

really previews. there's going to be a showdown over that big house bill that just passed. and the other showdown, kira that's coming up is over. the government shutting down it poised to potentially shut down in about 12 days from now. the house speaker saying it's up to democrats to work with us to make sure that we have enough votes. he pushed back against the notion that, look, republicans control everything. he said, look, keeping the government open is a bipartisan responsibility. so we are, i think, in for a very dramatic next few weeks on capitol hill. feels like we've seen this movie before. always seeming to avert a shutdown. so we definitely look forward to how this unfolds. and christian you're already making headlines with your interview with speaker of the house mike johnson this morning, so we look forward to seeing you in about 45 minutes from now here in the bay area. thanks for that preview, and we hope you join christian for this morning's meet the press will have exclusive interviews, as mentioned with house speaker mike johnson, oklahoma republican senator james lankford, and as mentioned,

independent vermont senator bernie sanders. if you just stick right here with us for today in the bay. meet the press is on at 8 a.m. right after this newscast. and coming up this week, as mentioned on tuesday, be sure to join nbc news for special coverage of president donald trump's first joint address to congress. coverage begins at 6 p.m. right here on nbc bay area. and as always, we will talk to nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston for our weekly segment. we'll take a look at the u.s. ukrainian relationship and what that explosive meeting with president trump, vice president and ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky means for peace talks. history was made while we were sleeping early this morning. robotic lander blue ghost touched down on the lunar surface. it's only the second privately built spacecraft to successfully land on the moon. blue ghost was

created by texas based firefly aerospace. that's video of the landing happened around 1 a.m. this morning. the spacecraft was orbiting the moon for about two weeks preparing for that daring descent. the company said, quote, this small step on the moon represents a giant leap in commercial exploration, paving the way for future doctors and promoting diversity in healthcare. hundreds of students attended the third annual black men in white coats summit. the organization, which represents minority youth, teamed up with kaiser for the event at las positas community college in livermore yesterday. more than 600 students, parents, educators and clinicians were the. the goal was to show students how to apply to college and medical school and help them explore careers in healthcare. the summit also included cpr demonstrations, robotics and virtual reality simulations, as well as workshops hosted by doctors. black men in white

coats also aims to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in medical school admissions through providing resources and support for students of color. many people took the plunge yesterday in alameda. wow. that is the polar plunge. all for a great cause. special olympics northern california sent us this video from their five k run and polar plunge. it happened at crown state beach in alameda. funds raised directly support local special olympics programs for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. and if you are looking for something to do this weekend, our mike inouye has a few ideas in this weekend. calendar. final day of the weekend. and today marks the final day of the 2025 pacific orchids expo in golden gate park, where they've been celebrating the theme of orchids in the clouds with orchids in

the san francisco county building. you can buy beautiful rare plants, ask the experts about their care and meet members from the san francisco orchid society. maybe get a new friend. get a new hobby. and if you're a parent who might be looking at idle time for your kids with upcoming school breaks through the spring and summer, you may want to head to palo alto high school gym for the peninsula camp fair. starting at 11 a.m, where reps from around the county and around the country come to share about camps for kids, teens, families including preschools, day and overnight camps, plus stem and steam focused programs. and if you're asking kira, is it already that time to start planning this stuff? the answer is yes. all right, mike, thanks so much. we were just talking about our own orchid experiences. time now to check in with cinthia for a look at our microclimate forecast. definitely raining this morning, but it seems like we're getting a little bit of a break. a few breaks in. you know, that activity that has has happened overnight. and as people get ready for sports there, you're going to wake up to that field. that might be a little soggy. so

just take note of that. a few breaks in the rain activity as we look towards mountain view, dublin, santa rosa, san jose, those temperatures upper 40s and some 50s with storm ranger, our exclusive mobile doppler radar. you have access to it too on that free nbc bay area app. the radar is busy this morning right there on top of san bruno mountain, tracking the activity from the city down into parts of half moon bay and over on into the east bay shoreline. oakland. down into parts of fremont. down into the south bay we go. it has been light this morning, and it continues to push on through into parts of los gatos. highway 17 could also be slippery. you know how that gets when it starts to rain. so please just be careful. now those little bits of breaks in that cloud cover could allow for some heating and also some convection to start happening. so what does that all mean? we could get the chance of seeing some thunderstorm activity develop as we go on into the mid morning hours. so you notice those pockets of yellows and oranges, maybe even bringing about the chance of some small hail. that activity is just best here for the early part of the day. we go

on and get some breaks of even more sunshine for our sunday funday plans. all of the activities and maybe some afternoon walks. we can get that in there, but there is more on the way. as we go on and talk about what will be left of the system. those cooler temperatures. so maybe wearing the jacket all day long is pretty much none of us make it out of those upper 50s. i don't see any 60s on the map, so just make sure that you bundle up. monday will be our break here in that rain activity and also the sierra snow. but we also still have that dangerous coastline going on ahead of some more rain on the way. we go on and take it on into about tuesday. we'll start the day with some clouds and maybe a few light sprinkles and that activity trying to get here, but the one that i'm looking at, that could be a better chance of seeing some higher totals will be as we go on into the middle part of the week, but right now it is trending central coast and south, with more storms right there behind it. so that storm door pretty open as we go on into the first full week of march here. so notice that 7-day

forecast, our temperatures much cooler, those rain icons sticking through today and the middle part of the week before. a little bit of a break here going on into the weekend. that looks good, but it is accompanied with some cooler morning starts. san francisco and along the peninsula and along all of our coastlines. be careful with those spotty showers at times, and the beaches will look at the wet weather sticking around as we go on into our workweek here. yeah, we're waiting to see if my son's t ball football any of it gets canceled with the weather so important. cinthia, thanks t to1 past the hour, there is much more ahead on today in the bay coming up without jimmy butler. the warriors five game winning streak came to an end. but we do have great news for the earthquakes. highs and low coming up nsex

greg takes prevagen for his brain and this is his story. hi, i'm greg. i live in bloomington, illinois. i'm not an actor. i'm just a regular person. eight years ago, i just didn't feel like i was on my game. i started taking prevagen and i want people to know that prevagen has worked for me. give it a try. i want it to help you just like it has helped me. i've been taking prevagen for eight years now and it is still helping me tremendously. prevagen. for your brain.

is breathing new life into the warriors. since the trade with miami, the dubs have won five in a row and had won seven of their

last eight. but they were not the same team last night without jimmy in the lineup. in the city of brotherly love. butler out with back spasms. he was hurt in thursday's win at orlando. 76 ers up a dozen at the break. quinton grimes beats the buzzer. had a career high 44. but stephen curry leads the second half comeback. curry throwingt down. it's his first dunk in six years. he had 29. he also had a season high 13 assists. that dime gp two tied the game with two minutes to go. but philly comes up clutch down the stretch. the warriors missed too many layups and turnovers. didn't help. the 76 ers snapped their nine game losing streak beating the warriors 126 to 119. here's curry on why he decided to dunk for the first time since 2019 i've been feeling pretty good. i've been dealing with some knee stuff all year,nd you want to take advantage of a cherry pick opportunity. that

would probably be my last dunk, though. i'm calling it right now. that was the last one, you see. so football in the end of a dynamic era for the red and gold, the 49ers have agreed to trade deebo samuel to the washington commanders. this is according to multiple reports in exchange for the star receiver. the niners get a fifth round draft pick. deebo wanted a fresh start following a dow year. he wanted the ball more, but failed to make those game changing plays we saw during the first five years of his career with the 49ers. the deal won't be officially processed until the start of the new league year on march 12th. on the ice, the sharks north of the border in ottawa. second period san jose on the power play. tim liljegren scores his fifth goal of the season. the sharks had a 2 to 1 lead, but the senators exploded for four goals in the final period. ottawa wins it 5 to 3.

san jose trying to start things early. lopez trying to slide this through. it's a go. the dream start for san jose. the earthquake striking early against sporting kc. chicho arango scores in the third minute. the quakes add to their lead in the 19th minute. san jose's other big offseason acquisition. josef martinez scores off the corner kick. san jose wins it two one. it's the quakes first win in kansas city in ten years. san jose is off to a20 start to the season for t te rst time since 2017. that's a look at your morning sports i'm anthony flores for today in the bay. great news there. anthony thanks so much. 26 past the hour on our sunday morning. we have much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up cal fire is releasing new maps of what they're calling wildfire hazard zones. is your neighborhood at risk? plus, san francisco's newest park, controversial though it may be, now has an

opening date. but first, it needs a name. how you can help needs a name. how you can help the citmakey i love your daughter so munch. are you... saying munch? yup! he's craving my new big smashed jack, with more than double the beef of a big mac. i'm in love... with? what's her face, right? get my new big smamashed jac and so munch more. welcome to jack in the box!

if you like options, you'll love my $6 all day big deal meal. choose from 4 delicious entrées and 5 tasty sides with a drink. oh, and nobody else includes breakfast items all day.

just this guy. at jack, every bite's a big deal! welcome to jack in the box! good morning. it is sunday, march 2nd, 729. a live look outside dramatic cloud cover over san francisco from our emeryville camera. it almost looks like a painting over the san francisco skyline. a little gloomy out there, but gosh, isn't that gorgeous. thank you so much for starting your sunday morning with us. i'm kira klapper. hopefully you're somewhere safe and warm. we saw some rain coming down this morning, and cinthia pimentel says we have some breaks here and there, but you have a quick look at our microclimate forecast first. and those breaks. i know i showed the fremont camera at the top of the hour, but there is a rainbow there. so if you live in fremont, just peek outside really quickly. we see those a little drops on the camera from sfo and yes, the unhappy little clouds out there as well. we push and see all that activity

coming into the bay with that fresh powder up into the mountains. so stormranger is bringing us a closer look here at that rain along the peninsula, south city, down into san mateo, and over on into the east bay shoreline, with some spotty rain down here into the south bay as well. now we are also going to keep an eye on the coast. there is that high surf advisory with those large breakers up to 20ft as we go on into the day on monday, so that active weather continuing in the 7-day forecast. i'll show you all the details coming up in about ten minutes here. all right, cinthia, we'll see you soon. thanks. we want to take you back to that breaking news this morning, the scene of a deadly crash in the south bay. it happened after two this morning on south white road. this is right next to mount pleasant high school. so people are being asked to avoid that neighborhood. south white road is closed in both directions from mount mckinley drive to rocky mountain drive. police say they responded to a man who was hit by a car, suffering major injuries lying in the roadway.

that pedestrian succumbed to his injuries and died at the scene. we're going to turn back to the rainy weather this morning. and as cinthia mentioned, a high surf advisory is in effect for parts of the bay area until tomorrow night. the dangerous conditions and rough surf forced the shutdown of capitola beach. firefighters and lifeguards say they had to rescue several people from the water. governor gavin newsom has declared a state of emergency in order to fast track wildfire prevention projects. that proclamation will suspend environmental regulations, which the governor says are slowing forest management. the move will increase vegetation and tree removal, add more fuel breaks and allow more prescribed burns. meanwhile, for the first time in more than a decade, cal fire is reassessing wildfire risks for local neighborhoods and cities. and we're finding that means some areas that weren't on cal fire's radar before are now

considered high risk. here's today in the bay's thom jensen. many homeowners in orinda are learning they're now in a very high hazard zone for wildfire risk. that's according to newly released maps coming from cal fire. i'm concerned about wildfire in general. and so i think that it's important that we all are aware and take the necessary steps to protect our community. in orinda, the red zone acreage has gone up from more than 2400 acres in 2011 to more than 5200 acres. we spoke to a few families who say the maps only add to what they already knew. wildfire risk here is high. definitely has a an extra little, little place in my heart to know that we have to deal with that now. cal fire rolled out these new fire risk assessment maps on monday. they include the bay area and the entire northern california coast in phase two. and the risk assessment is based on decades of fire behavior and weather data. just so much in the last couple of years, what we've

experienced, but over the last 30 years, what these areas have experienced. the map is interactive, so you can search an address and see what zone it's in. and then there's an extra layer if you're in red, very high hazard areas outlining requirements for clearing proper defensible spaces. we're providing defensible space inspections currently for those areas that are listed as very high. and the areas that previously weren't identified but now are, will be out after we adopt the maps and create the ordinance. homeowners told us they're ready to comply with new ordinances, even if it means some extra work trimming trees and clearing debris. we had to go through the whole process of getting the insurance company to come by, inspectors to come by to make sure that we were abiding by all the rules. contra costa fire protection is planning a town hall for march to inform residents of defensible space ordinance changes. as far as insurance goes, the contra costa fire marshal says the maps could affect how private insurers determine rates and eligibility. but it's not the whole picture. we've been told that, you know,

the fire severity zones are really just one piece to many different data sets that insurance companies are looking at as they're identifying the risk. it's also still unclear how much weight the insurance companies will give the new data. i mean, the fact that we even had insurance this year, i was pleasantly surprised about because we just moved here last july. and, you know, i could only hope that we would be able to maintain that thom jensen today in the bay. if you'd like to see the maps and find out if your home is now in a high hazard zone, we have a link to cal fire's interactive maps. just go to our website nbcbayarea.com. we have new video of that breaking news we brought to you yesterday morning. a fedex plane forced to make an emergency landing. you can see the engine caught fire after a bird strike. fortunately, the pilot safely circled back to newark airport. three people were on board. no one was injured. the faa and the ntsb are investigating.

president trump signed another round of executive orders yesterday. one titled designating english as the official language of the united states. the policy is said to encourage the learning and adoption of english, as well as empower new citizens to achieve the american dream. president trump also signed a second executive order called immediate expansion of american timber production. that announcement says within 30 days, the secretary of the interior and the secretary of agriculture will each issue new or updated guidance regarding tools to facilitate increased timber production, reduced time to deliver timber and decreased timber supply uncertainty. meanwhile, the pentagon is sending about 3000 more troops to the us-mexico border. the additional active duty troops are tasked with helping crack down on illegal immigration. fulfilling a major campaign promise from president trump, the forces are expected to arrive over the next few weeks.

they include elements of a stryker brigade. strykers are armored personnel carriers, similar to a tank, but with wheels instead of tracks. there are already about 9200 u.s. troops at the southern border. identity theft can be destructive to one's life, and now one bay area police department is providing support for people whose identities have been stolen. san jose police launched an online tool last week. it will connect identity theft victims with a counselor, and it's all through the san jose police website. that counselor can offer support and guidance on next steps after a theft. as online theft becomes more complex, officers say they want to make sure people get the help they need. we want to stop. stop the victim from being revictimized. so by by first contacting the police department, have the incident documented. second, utilizing

the service, they're able to now start building repairing their credit which is desperately needed, desperately needed in our world. anyone, not just san jose residents, can access the identity theft resource center on the san jose police department's website. meanwhile, in san francisco, a date has been set for the opening of the park on the city's great highway. the san francisco recreation and park department and city leaders say the park will open april 12th. voters, you may recall, passed proposition k last year, and that closes a two mile stretch of the highway between lincoln, where golden gate park is, and sloat boulevard near the zoo. it will transform that entire stretch of the great highway into a park. the city says the park will have murals and sculptures and event space for live music, fitness equipment, a skating area, and much more. but it still needs a name. a naming contest is right now open on the

city's recreation and park website. it runs through march 16th, and then you can log in to vote. 38 past the hour. still to come on today in the bay. the oscars are later today in hollywood, but of course, this comes just after those devastating fires impacted thousands, including film industry workers. coming up, how many are still struggling to recover? but first, here is today in the bay's laura garcia. good morning kira. we have a lot coming up this week on today in the bay calling for another day without immigrants. the actions planned across the bay area, as many push back on president trump's administration policy changes. also a new platform for those trying to make it in the bay who are on the hunt for a job. it's being dubbed the zillow for job seekers. you click on any of the jobs you'll see that will show pay per hour, per week, per month, per year, so that everyone has an understanding of what this opportunity is. we'll talk about the key information you can get from the free platform. plus,

have you seen him? was that jimmy she was looking for? shining a light on the homeless crisis at the box office. we're talking with a young actor from walnut creek and the filmmaker about no address. the powerful message they're hoping to share through their art about those struggling to find a place to live. all of that's coming up tomorrow morning on today in the bay. you can watch our

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]

peeks of sunshine through those stormy clouds this morning might bring about some rainbows, so if you see those, send them my way. i want to see two as we are inside tracking it for you. let's look at san jose over the next couple of hours. expect some showers to continue. they could be heavy at times, and you might hear a little bit of thunder and see some small hail too. so just be careful as we go on through the first half of the day. you notice there are more breaks of sunshine going into the afternoon, so storm ranger

on top of san bruno mountain is busy tracking some light showers right now through parts of 101 over on into highway 37 and san rafael. we look towards the east bay shoreline. hayward. you seem to be getting a little bit of a good spot right now, with those colors turning more into the oranges and the yellows down into the south bay. it is spotty, so just be careful. highway 17 especially, and you'll notice those little shades of pink up there. there might be cold enough to bring just a littltle bit of a dusting on top of mount hamilton, so keep your eyes peaked out there towards the foothills of san jose. i'm going to keep that active weather on tap as we go on through the morning hours, and then give us a little bit of a break as we go on into the afternoon. so running to the store, all those errands that you have, if you want to avoid the wet weather, there is your afternoon shot, but there could be some more light showers popping up there as we go on into the santa cruz mountains around dinner time. it's going to be breezy though, with this system exiting on out this afternoon. maybe 2530 mile an hour wind gusts as we go on through the second half of the

day. so if you're doing laundry, maybe a chance to air it out outside as we go on into our evening plans, monday and tuesday will be a bit of a break. i am looking at a little bit of some activity there on tuesday, but as we go on into the second half of the week, that system starts to come up on wednesday. but notice how the colors trend more towards morgan hill gilroy south as that activity is painting towards the central coast and south. but look ahead that active weather is continuing as we go on into our first full week of march. here we are back to winter. we were talking about 70 last week. nope, not the case anymore. we are wearing our jackets and carrying our small umbrellas through the week, and also bundling up as we go on into the second half of it, as we'll see some more sunshine in the mix. but cool down those numbers back into the 30s and 40s to start our day. 30s and 40s. oh my goodness. all right cinthia, thanks. 44 past the hour. w david takes prevagen for his brain and this is his story. nice to meet ya. my name is david. i've been a pharmacist for 44 years. when i have customers come in,

but this year, one major spotlight will shine on the fires that devastated entire neighborhoods in los angeles. as nbc's david noriega reports, it wasn't just celebrities impacted, but workers who make the magic happen from behind the cameras. stay here. hollywood is rolling out the red carpet for its biggest night of the year. as los angeles gears up for the 97th academy awards. but this year, oscars weekend feels different, with many in the entertainment business still reeling from the devastating wildfires that ravaged swaths of l.a. everything is gone. we've just. bj and adrian mcdonnell lost their home in malibu, which had been in bj's family for generations. people look at the palisades and they just think, oh, there's these rich millionaires, and they're just these actors. there's a lot of people that have generational homes that live here, and we are all union workers, like we work paycheck to paycheck. the couple have worked behind the scenes in film for years, and they have

mixed feelings about this weekend. tomorrow is the oscars. how are you guyseeling about that? we haven't even had a chance to digest it. do you think you're even going to watch the oscars? probably not. the academy faces a delicate task celebrating the glitz and glamor of hollywood, while being sensitive to the overwhelming loss. it did say shortly after the fires that it planned to honor frontline workers and recognize those impacted. last month, the grammys pulled off a similar balancing act. thank you for supporting all of us and recognizing the heroes that are standing behind me and the sheroes. but the fires are only the latest in a string of setbacks to hit film industry workers. how would you say the industry is doing right now? we're struggling. we had covid, then we had the strikes. now we have the devastation of the fires. the thing that i think a lot of people understand is that if we don't work and we don't get a certain amount of hours, we don't have health insurance. film production in los angeles

is on the decline, according to film la, which tracks permitting in the city. the number of shoot days has plummeted 30% compared to the average of the last five years, excluding 2020. what happened here in california is that everything just went because of tax incentives, and things got cheaper to make in different places. this was the garage this weekend. bj. adrian and so many others affected by the fires can think only about the uncertainty of their own futures. we're all struggling. our heart aches not only for ourselves, but for everybody. we just want everyone to be okay. we want our community back. david noriega, nbc news, malibu. on friday, the fragile relationship between the u.s. and ukraine unraveled on camera for all of the world to see. the meeting between president trump, alongside vice president vance and ukrainian president zelensky, deteriorated into a shouting match. nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston joins me on set now. hi, larry, as always, great to see you this

morning. so originally, the meeting was set to be an agreement to share rare earth minerals from ukraine to sort of pay the u.s. back for defending it in this war. the explosion, so to speak, was more than a lot more than that. yeah. this is not about rare metals here as much as it's about the relationships that trump has with both zelensky and putin. let's go back a little bit. in 2018, there was a cia report that trump was asked about in that report that said that the russians had interfered with the 2016 election. and trump said, i asked putin about it. and putin said, that's not true. i believe putin relationships. in 2019, trump asked zelensky, who was then the president of ukraine, to find him dirt on hunter biden before trump released foreign aid. zelensky didn't know anything about it. finally, trump did release the foreign aid. and finally, just a few days ago, when we're talking about again, ukraine, president

trump said on two occasions that it was ukraine that started the russian invasion of ukraine. so what we saw last friday, kira, it was just the latest chapter. obviously, their relationship here, obviously president trump is much more connected with president putin of russia than he is of vladimir zelensky. and so as i saw it on twitter, on social media, a lot of world leaders, nato allies came out in defense of zelensky after that blowup at the white house. but how do we explain that? because aren't they, you know, in, in effect, worried about russia's proximity to them? that's exactly it. they are worried about russia's proximity. let's let's remember something. look at this map here. you see the baltics, for example, lithuania, latvia, estonia. you see poland, you see up top finland. these are countries right against russia. right against putin

himself said that one day i am going to reunite the old russia that included most of those countries. okay. and with that, he is looking very much toward expansionism. this is not being made up. this is what putin himself has said. the nato countries, for that reason, are very worried about this, very worried about this. and for that reason, for that reason, they are much more likely to get together and do their very best to protect ukraine, because if ukraine goes, they believe one of these countries could be next. and not to be self-serving here, but what about us? what about the us? here's where we get to the real issue for the united states. it's a question of our foreign policy. donald trump has gone on record more than once saying he believes in america first. you've had that. you've heard that. that's a very isolationist characteristic, if you will. as far as he's concerned, russia and poland and france and germany, all those guys can work things out themselves. whatever happens, happens. not our problem. as far as asia goes, china, well, he

can do whatever it wants. and china is thinking, my goodness, taiwan. he doesn't want to worry about that. i'm worried about this country. that's where we're putting our money. we're not sending foreign aid anyplace else. we're taking care of america first. that sounds good. but experts on the other side say in doing that, you're totally isolating yourselves from everybody else. and what happens downstream? this is the big question. this is why so many people right now are saying we are on the verge of seeing an entirely new world order, when we haven't seen constructed since the end of world war two. this is a big time for america, a big time for the world. and we're just going to have to see how this thing all unfolds. and in about seven days, i'm sure you and i will be talking about this again. all right, larry, as always, thanks for your insight. good to see you. almost 53 past the hour on your sunday morning. up next, we have a quick look at our top stories, including that dead pedestrian crash in san jose. we have new information from poleic

we're following on this sunday morning, including a pedestrian hit by a car and killed in san jose. we just learned moments ago that investigators have opened up the northbound lanes of south white road. this is next to mount pleasant high school in san jose. you can see that car being let through right now, but the southbound lanes will remain closed as investigators look into that

crash that's between mount mckinley drive and rocky mountain drive. we're also llowing breaking news out of the middle east, where overnight, israel stopped all humanitarian aid into the gaza strip. hamas, meanwhile, is accusing israel of sabotaging the first phase of the ceasefire agreement they signed in january. it expired yesterday. negotiations for the second phase have been stalled for weeks. israel says hamas is refusing to accept its proposal to extend the first phase of the ceasefire deal, warning that if hamas continues its refusal, there will be further consequences. when i say protect you, say our park, protect our raj protect. demonstrators yesterday at the presidio joined a nationwide day of action across national parks across the country. people were calling out the trump administration's firing of about 1000 park employees. supporters marched toward fort mason, vowing to continue speaking out. and we're

going to look at the forecast one last time before we go with cinthia. we are looking at those showers this morning. could hear some thunder, maybe. and those thunderstorms continue on into maybe the second half of the afternoon in the santa cruz mountains. that rain keep the umbrella at hand because it will come in as waves as we go through our workweek here tuesday, wednesday, thursday, with those cooler mornings trending as we go on into the weekend, next week with some sunshine on the way. hopefully. oh, good. much cooler. yeah. much cooler. all right, cinthia, thanks. and thanks so much to all of you for making us a part of your sunday morning. we'll have more local news for you tonight at five, six and 11. and we are always on at nbcbayarea.com. we hope you stay dry. stay warm. have a great sunday and we'd love to see you right back here next weekend.
