New this morning, clumsy commuters, bart warning people to stop racing on to those trains and jamming those doors because its really impacting service. Bob redell live in fremont with a message they want every rider to know. Reporter good morning. We all know you are in a hurry to get to work, but if you are clumsy when it comes to taking bart, you can mess it up for the rest of us. I want you to take a look at this video provided by the Transit Agency, its a good case in point. It shows a commuter racing for a train and getting stuck in a door. Bart is trying to get the word out, please stop jamming the doors, otherwise cars and sometimes entire trains are taken out of service and they end up here in one of barts maintenance yards. A bart technician at their concord location showed us yesterday how passengers rushing for the train can force the door off track or dislocate the rubber seal. In august alone bart had to take out around 9300 cars for servi because of impatient commuters. You are in a race to get on that train, you dont want to wait that extra 15 minutes. Totally understandable, but what were hoping is that keep keep in mind if theyre stuck in our door or force a door open that thats going to have a longterm impact that literally is going to impact the time of thousands of people, its going to take one of our cars out of service unnecessarily and create a more crowded environment. These are all bad things were trying to avoid. Reporter now, laura and marcus, as you you might be aware bart will be phasing in new trains. The doors on the nextgen trains wont pocket like the existing ones, the doors will be on the outside making them more durable and soundproof.

On the today show right after today in the bay. We are finally seeing some of those posts and advertisements placed on facebook by russian agents. We interesting. Scott mcgrew, we know who they were targeting. We do, the russians, laura, were using their marketing smarts to find the people who would most believe and then share those ads and posts. Let me show you come of them. The House Select Committee on intelligence released these to the public, theyre made by russians inflame americans. For instance, an ad that pits jesus against hillary clinton. Not the creation of some evangelical, this is by the russians. We have the targeting data that tells us who the russians sent the ads to and how many people saw it.

Assuming he is confirmed we will say goodbye to janet yellen who is well thought of by just about everybody, she is a former berkeley professor. We dont know her plans but, who knows, maybe her husband and she will move back to the bay area. They are both economists, he won a nobel prize, she ran the fed, i think they would be pretty good back at berkeley. Trump has always been so vocal about not wanting her in that position. He has been very vocal about that. The irony is the person we think nbc has sources pretty much the same policy. Very interesting. Okay. 5 18.

Developing right now, police in dublin are investigating reports of a student assault that started with racially charged words.

Thats when they say a white 14yearold boy punched her in the mouth and gave her a concussion. The incident happened last week. The district would not comment directly on the incident due to privacy concerns, but did speak to us about school policy. We dont tolerate that behavior and we take it seriously and we absolutely go out of our way to make sure that were correcting that behavior in one norm or another. The girls parents say the boy received a threeday suspension but they want him expelled.

Tamalpais in the north bay and some red wood parks in the Santa Cruz Mountains as well. Simply beautiful. It is. This weekend probably wouldnt be the best time to get out there. Maybe not. I think at times its going to be raining and then its going to be muddy on some of those trails. Also some Cool Temperatures, too, but if you do go out there and youre brave enough to do that then you may have the trails all to yourself. There you go. You dont have to worry about the crowds and parking. We will have some much cooler temperatures moving in and we are getting ready for a series of cold fronts to move in to bring in some rain across the bay area. We start out with dry conditions this morning as we take a live look outside in oakland, i think by tomorrow morning we will start to see some light rain moving in and we may have to turn on those windshield wipers. So today make sure theyre working and they are going to be able to clear off that windshield before that rain comes in tomorrow. As we look at the sevenday forecast at the bottom to of the screen you see dry weather today and we may have a couple of mor dry days next week, but its about to start to get pretty soggy here. Our temperatures as you head out the door in the low to mid 40s in some spots, but we will be reaching into the low 60s by later today, upper 60s for the south bay and 69 degrees today in concord while San Francisco and halfmoon bay will be up to 62 degrees. We start out this morning with clear skies and a cool temperature so make sure you grab a nice warm jacket and you will be comfortable wearing pants all day long. No need for the shorts or the flipflops or anything like that, we are back to our fall gear. As you get ready to head out livermore for the school day, walking to school its only going to be up to 47 degrees and then we will start to see the temperatures getting a little bit more mild for today but it wont be all clear and sunny, you will have more clouds in the mix as this storm system approaches from the north. We will start to see a little bit of some rain by tomorrow morning, more of the hit or miss showers and then as we go into the day we will continue on with times of rain. It wont rain the whole day but we will get a more solid line of showers moving in by tomorrow afternoon into the evening, clearing out by saturday morning and then by sunday morning we will start to see another round of showers moving in. So once again it wont rain the whole weekend but there will be some soggy times that we will have to deal with and our rainfall totals may reach in the south bay up to a tenth of an inch, we will be watching out for the possibility of i think in most spots up to a quarter inch of rain. We will not have the really heavy downpours. And we fall back this sunday morning, setting our clocks back one hour. So even though we lose an hour, maybe you will just want to stay in bed a little bit longer and get your rest. Next week we will go back to some more Cool Temperatures but a break in the rain on tuesday. Mike has a minor update for 580. Very minor. This is where we see the early commute anyway and this is a disabled vehicle, another one over on the shoulder at grant line just as the first one cleared up.
