have more on this story with a live report coming up at 2.15. we're also learning some more details now about the tesla cybertruck explosion right outside of the trump hotel in las vegas. the clark county sheriff has named the suspect as 37 year-old matthew lives. burger. they are waiting to id him with some dna because the body inside that truck was found burnt beyond recognition. the pentagon has said, though, that this person was a highly decorated soldier, a member of its green beret and was on approved leave when he died. authorities believe that the suspect shot himself in the head before the truck exploded. they found a handgun by his feet and other evidence, including ids and credit cards in the burr truck. they say fireworks, gas, tanks and fuel were used in a detonation system that was controlled by the driver. 7 other people suffered minor injuries. at one point, there were some questions about whether or not this incident

priority category. they're also launching an educational campaign to let people know where they stand. >> camps that have a small footprint about 12 foot by 12 foot and are creating an environmental or safety hazard and don't cause any access or operational problem for the water district will be considered low priority. those people will be allowed to stay in their camps until they find a place to move to camps that are obstructing access to flood protection or water facilities that pose a safety risk to district staff or the public or are creating an environmental hazard will be considered high priority. the district says they will try to work with those people to improve the conditions of their camp to make them low priority. but if improvements aren't made, the district could eventually move in and remove the camp. the idea is to educate the public first and only remove a camp when it's absolutely necessary. >> we don't want to nor do we have the ability to just go out and sweet pollen count. it's everywhere. we want to encourage good behavior so that we don't have to be very many encampments. and but but

it's true that valley water will take action when we need to to to to remedy the most egregious environmental and safety. and that if the decision is made to remove a camp, the district says they will provide 72 hours notice before the cleanup work begins. >> they will also try to find housing or shelter for those impacted and try to find storage space for any personal belongings. all right, back live now and even camps that are considered low priority will not be allowed to stay forever. >> they have to move in. if they don't. eventually the water district will step in and take those camps away as well. but for now in the south bay, charles clifford kron, 4 news. >> thank you, charles. we're gonna talk about our forecast now with this live look outside across the golden gate bridge. looking real good today. nice to see the sun out there. also nice to see meteorologist kyla grogan in the weather center with more details say they are. beautiful blue skies enjoyed that. we do have a little rain on the way, but it will not get here until very late tonight. in fact, in the overnight hours, really so we

>> all right. we'll talk about our bay area forecast now we take this live look outside here at coit tower. on thursday, the first thursday of the new year. lots of sun out there today. let's see how much longer it's going to stick around with kyla grogan. hey there. so we've got one little bit of rain coming through the overnight tonight. and then after that, i've got a dry forecast and some really nice temperatures to right now. the boy, it's all about the blue skies. gorgeous out there. look at half moon bay. pretty today. so many nice. this is. so i mentioned that we only have one shot of rain. this is the next 5 days. you can see that it it's overnight tonight into tomorrow and then we're done and we dry out for a little bit, which is a good thing in general. but we are going to see that we need more rain eventually, right? we can't stay dry for too long. but what's going to happen here as we get into our friday is this low pressure is going to dip down. that's going to bring some of that rain our way. but then after that pretty quickly, we'll see a ridge of high pressure developing. it starts off. and then it really strengthens. you see that kind of build up and you see that ridge become more pronounced and that's why

we'll be staying dry. and that's why we will also be seeing some sunshine there. so got me thinking about where we're at farrar rain totals since october. 1st, if look at our water year from october, first to now, san francisco is about 121% of normal. but notice san jose oakland livermore story stay in our south bay. we're below where we would hope we would be this time of year. north bay, on the other hand, has well exceeded where we would like to be this time of year. so some spots that could definitely stand to be picking up a little bit more rain. and as we take a look at our drought monitor today that comes out. you can see that this distralts right east bay and south bay, parts of the east bay and south bay are in what's called abnormally dry conditions. so we could certainly use some more rain there. having said that after this next system. and i do think we'll get some in the east bay in the south bay from this and a little bit of snow in the sierra. but after this, that ridge is going to keep everything going right over the top of us heading into the pacific northwest and skirting the bay-area altogether. so in general, we're starting our new year. pretty quiet right? and certainly today with the

blue skies out there. pretty lovely as we take a look at temperatures above average in a few spots today to you can see those 60's right now in napa and santa rosa. 65 though, in san jose, south bay, israeli overperforming wind is relatively calm so far today. and we've seen a little bit of an offshore flow. we are going to see a little bit of a breeze as the system goes through. so that will be part of the forecast as we see a little bit of rain tomorrow morning into the afternoon. but after that, it's a good looking weekend and it just gets better as we head into next week. thank you, kyla. still ahead, we have new numbers from the snow pack. >> and just in today, so we'll see what this means for our water use. after the break and look at san fr

by april. 1st. >> as of right now feeling okay. but if we don't get more storms, we'll need a progression of monthly storms to keep going because otherwise we will end up maybe similar under average by the end of the year. >> and the snow pack is significant because it helps to supply water to our farms and our homes up to this point, the northern tier region has done a pretty good job with the snow pack with just over 160% of average for this time of year. other areas not doing as well. you can see that they're not a time wallace. we'll have more from today's snow survey during kron. 4 news at 3. >> and we'll take a live look now at some out time lapse video of lake tahoe. so we can see what's going on there right now. and meteorologist kyla grogan has details on the snow. i love the clouds coming in. i could watch that all day long. it's like my yule log. you know, the people watching i can watch time lapses. >> of different weather phenomena. okay. so let's talk

about tahoe. beautiful out there today. people enjoying it obviously hanging out here at diamond peak. >> and you talked about the overall snow packs. i'm gonna break it down now into regions. and you can see if you look at northern sierra were actually 161% of normal. so that is really bumped that overall state total we're at 94%. the central sierra and the southern sierra just 75%. and that happens sometimes because a lot of these storms when they come in for the pacific northwest, we kind of catch the tail end of them. a happy, strong enough to make it all the way down to the central and southern sierra put the northern sierra generally does benefit from them a little bit more a little bit earlier, but it is a moving target, right? as he was saying. we have to keep getting these storms to make sure that we're keeping up with it right now. 46 degrees in south lake tahoe. no snow falling there right now. having said that, we are going to get a little rain as we get into the overnight and that rain, of course, will roll right into lake tahoe area there. go right up the mountains and make for a little snow now it's not going to be huge system. it's going to be pretty short lived as you can see there. but it does mean that we're under these winter weather advisories and winter storm warnings for

tomorrow from 07:00am till 10:00pm on friday. so in and around tahoe, expecting 2 to 5 inches above 5,000 feet up at the peaks. we could see a foot of snow and of course, gusty wind to a company. my rule of thumb is you just ought to be traveling during these times. we have these advisories and warnings that are up. so tomorrow's kind of a no-go. and then if you want to get -p there for the weekend, you the snow we're looking to pick up and again, it could be a little higher up at the highest elevation peaks. but, you know, somewhere around 5, 6 inches. so it's going to be today, partly cloudy skies tomorrow. snow to deal is starting in the afternoon in particular. and then saturday looking good for the weekend, bringing it back to the bay beautiful view here from our mount tam cam. we've got that rain coming in in the overnight tonight. i'll be back in just a little bit. we'll track that. take a look at your seven-day forecast. this session of congress is about to begin. and republican lawmakers need to choose someone to leave their majority tomorrow. they're set to hold an election for house speaker. things, though, could get kind of messy. >> our washington correspondent hannah brandt explains why.
