And beautiful message for this veterans day. Lets check in with vianey arana for our veterans day forecast. Very fitting. Will was asking me is it going to rain today. The good news, will, its not. Thats the good news. So it will be great weather to be outside. A little bit on the chilly end, which is okay. Were expected to be in these temperatures around the fall, so its a give and take. Peninsula 51 degrees right now, trivalley 46 degrees, at that dense fog, you can barely make out whats behind all of that fog in the trivalley and the south bay right now, a cool 54 degrees. San francisco also waking up to some of those really dark clouds. Look at this shot overlooking San Francisco, east bay, 51 degrees, north bay 51 degrees and heres that Doppler Radar showing off that fog. Any time you see pretty dense fog, remember to turn on the low beams and slow it down a little bit because of that limited visibility can make it dangerous out there especially when the sun isnt up yet but the sun is coming up so that should make it easier. But regardless, be careful. San franciscos temperature trend, the good news is that fog will start to burn out by midmorning and 10 00 a. M. , 58 degrees, topping out in those lower 60s by about 1 00. And then well see breaks of sunshine, not just for San Francisco but also East San Jose as well by about 11 00 a. M. Well start welcoming a little bit more sunshine in the forecast. 62 degrees expected by 12 00. And lets talk about that rain. So, we saw the rain kind of come in earlier in the week and then towards the end of the week and the hourbyhour outlook right now, it looks like were going to stay dry for the most part, keep some of that cloud cover but then we see this additional system move in thats sitting off to the north but its going to hold off through sunday night, so its going to kind of start moving in to the north bay initially by about 11 00 p. M. , 12 00 p. M. , and then it isnt until monday where the rest of the bay area will finally start to see more of that rain. So its going to kind of stick to the north bay through the overnight hours into early monday morning but by 1 00 oakland, san rafael, San Francisco, and hayward will start seeing some more of that rain and then our next rain chance arrives on wednesday, but for the most part, monday, expect to see showers on and off throughout the day, much like what we saw on thursday and friday. Now, todays overall highs will be quite pleasant. San francisco, a high of about 61 degrees, oakland, 62. Livermore, 64 degrees, san jose, 65. Palo alto, 66, and lets talk about that veterans day parade in san jose which is the one will was asking me about. It starts at 11 00 a. M. And it ends at 2 00 p. M. And the weather is going to be absolutely perfect for a parade, so no soggy conditions, no downpours expected. The rain cleared out just in time for all of these celebrations. Veterans, thank you. Yothank you for your service. By 4 00, we are expecting to see a little bit more sunshine as we head into the 3 00, 4 00 hour. Lets talk about the next seven days because weve got a couple of changes on the way. So, were going to see that rain returning, developing north initially, stay north of the Golden Gate Bridge on sunday. Well see showers lingering through monday, clear out by tuesday, and then possibly more rain as we head into wednesday. Not just for San Francisco but also for inland areas so definitely a great veterans day, cool weather and then the rain will make its return through tomorrow. Kira. Glad the rain took a break for those parades today. Perfect timing. Thanks. Still ahead on today in the bay, she is already an olympic champion, and now matty bowman is heading back to the winter games. Well tell you what shes working on that doesnt involve the half pipe next. Hi leaving a career to follow a calling takes courage. A personalized Financial Strategy can give you confidence to take the next step. Hi guys aw yeah see how access to j. P. Morgan investment expertise can help you. Chase. Make more of whats yours. Welcome back. It is 7 23. Turning now to the 2018 winter olympics. She went from a relative unknown to winning a gold medal in sochi. South lake tahoes maddy bowman is hoping to repeat that success in south korea this february. Today in the bays Garvin Thomas has her story. Reporter Maddie Bowman says being a Gold Medalist has given her a platform. We started, though, by asking maddie what her favorite part of 2014 was. For Maddie Bowman, it wasnt the opening ceremony, although that was cool. We lived it up, we soaked it up, we took in every moment. 7 20 for Maddie Bowman. Reporter and believe it or not, it wasnt even winning the gold medal, although that was crazy. As an athlete, and as a human being, that high you get when you win a gold medal is insane. Like it is the top of the top. Its insane. Reporter no, for maddie, the best part of her experience at the 2014 sochi winter games didnt even happen in russia. It happened days later atop a fire truck in south lake tahoe. My favorite memory from the olympics was when i came home, and they hosted a parade from the high school in south like. Reporter you see, maddies sport had never been in the olympics before. On the national scene, she was a bit of an unknown. So when all was said and done, she couldnt wait to get back to the place she had always been known and loved. I was able to thank all of these people that helped me get here from, you know, teachers to soccer coaches to, you know, my baby sitter that, you know, helped raise me and they were all there, and i could just i got to have a speech and i just thanked everyone, and i think that was the coolest thing for me was being able to share this with them. And feeling the love. Reporter and even if maddie repeats in 2018, it will be a different experience. Thats because while maddie continues to fly in her sport, its no longer under the radar. Those gold medals they give out turn out to be heavier than they look. Everyone has this pressure that builds over four years, and its hard to figure out how to cope with it and, you know, we each do our own thing, but its definitely there. I think once i get my skis on my feet, im just going to be so happy. Reporter in addition to the highlights she mentioned, maddie says one of her favorite experiences after the 2014 games was going to the white house with her gold medal to meet president obama. Garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. Well, did you know we are sending Garvin Thomas to pyeongchang for the winter games. You can watch all of our interviews with olympic athletes leading up to the olympics right now on nbcbayarea. Com. There is much more ahead on today in the bay. Coming up, addressing the scandal, a Senate Candidate accused of Sexual Misconduct is now telling his side of the story. Will he back out of the race . Also, a customer makes a simple typo online and it costs him 400. When he asks our consumer unit to investigate, we end up sending messages to russia. Nbc bay area responds coming up. At Stanford Health care, we can now repair complex aortic aneurysms without invasive surgery. If we can do that, imagine what we can do for varicose veins.

If we can use dna to diagnose the rarest of diseases, imagine what we can do for the conditions that affect us all. Imagine what we can do for you. Welcome back. It is 7 28, just shy of 7 29 on your saturday morning. Taking a live look outside towards downtown san jose. Covered in fog, a little bit of haze this morning. And we just really appreciate your joining us on this veterans day. Im kira klapper. Vianey arana has a look at our microclimate forecast. The good news is, you know, one thing is everyones covered in fog, but the good news is you say theres no rain today. No rain today. The rain tapered off nicely just in time for all the celebrations which i know are plenty today for our veterans so that will be the good news of the day. Also, the temperatures are quite comfortable, chilly in some spots, though, napa, 48 degrees, San Francisco, 56, hayward, 54, san jose 54 degrees, and lets take a look at that coastal fog. So, we typically see the fog really hugging the coastline, but today, you can see just how far inland that fog has moved in, all the way through concord, even the livermore area and were a few degrees colder in some spots at this hour than we were at the same time yesterday in half moon bay. Were nine degrees cooler, San Francisco, four degrees cooler, and even in san jose, about one or two degrees cooler, so the temperatures for today will be very similar to what you saw yesterday. Well be climbing into the upper 50s in the along the coastline and look at San Francisco, the camera behind that is supposed to be a shot of San Francisco, but i think thats fog. Im pretty sure that thats fog. Its not just a gray graphic, like a gray wall. Behind that is fog. The backdrop is fog and then in san jose, East San Jose, expect to climb into the upper 50s and 60s and of course were tracking more rain on the way. I will break down exactly what we can expect and the time line on that coming up in about 15 minutes. All right. The shot behind us is really nice now. Thats pretty. It is real. All right, vianey, thanks. Well, now to the allegations that are mounting at a prestigious all Girls High School in the south bay. Our Investigative Unit has been digging into reports of inappropriate behavior by teachers and now the school is responding. Presentation high school in san jose has put two teachers on leave in the midst of a sex scandal. The principal sent an announcement to parents last night. It doesnt reveal what the allegations are, but the nbc bay area Investigative Unit has uncovered numerous accusations of improper Sexual Conduct towards students by at least four former and current teachers. Some allegations date back as far as 25 years. Yesterdays email from the principal talks about the latest allegations, the first from a former student more than five years ago after she graduated from presentation. The Administration Says it reported that allegation to the police. In the second incident, another teacher is being investigated for something that allegedly happened 14 months ago. Administrators say they had already looked into it, but now new questions are being raised. Our Investigative Unit has been uncovering this story for more than a week. You can find all of our reports at nbcbayarea. Com under the Investigative Unit tab. Now to a Mountain Lion in the middle of San Francisco. And one man has quite the story to tell after spotting it just outside of his apartment window. He took these photos of the 82pound Mountain Lion in Diamond Heights yesterday. He says it was moving slowly, maybe looking for a place to rest. He knew that a Mountain Lion was recently caught on Security Camera outside of Mark Benioffs home near the presidio so he knew it wouldnt be safe for the Mountain Lion to be roaming around the city and called 911 for help but the dispatcher didnt believe him. Even the dispatcher was like, are you sure its not a coyote . Im like, yes, its five feet from me right now. And its a Mountain Lion. California fish and wildlife shot the 18monthold male with two tranquilizer darts. You can see it tumbling down the hillside. Experts tell us it was not injured. Last night, crews released it in the wilderness of san mateo county. It now has an ear tag and a gps tracking device. Have you seen this man . He is wanted by San Jose Police for a homicide and for taking part in a crime ring related to brothels. His name is still a mystery. But investigators do know these four men are his accomplices. At least five women say they were robbed at gunpoint and sexually assaulted. The group also is wanted for killing a man near the river oaks apartments in north san jose. A generous act of kindness to a San Jose Community thats dealt with two tragedies in just the last year. Yesterday, residents of the golden wheel Mobile Home Park cut the ribbon to their new manufactured homes. In august, flames tore through the Mobile Home Park, which is located just off of oakland road. Three people were killed in the fire, including two 10yearold girls. After the fire, there was an outpouring of support from the local community. Realtors todd and cindy suh donated the new homes. We are humbled and proud to have the opportunity to be able to give back to our community, to the ones that need it most. To give a family a new beginning and a new home. Well, last month, volunteers canvassed the neighborhood, handing out free smoke detectors to help prevent future fires like that one. The Mobile Home Park also sustained damage from the flooding from coyote creek back in february. Now to President Trump arriving in vietnams capital today. Hes attending a state dinner there before meetings tomorrow with vietnams president and prime minister. President trump spent the first half of saturday meeting with World Leaders at the Asia Pacific Economic cooperation or apec summit. The president has been hammering leaders on trade and urging them to do more to pressure north korea to abandon its nuclear program. He also was seen chatting on several occasions, apparently, with russian president vladimir putin. Now to turmoil in alabamas senate race and it could impact the entire u. S. Senate. Republican candidate roy moore is denying he engaged in Sexual Misconduct with an underage girl. Moore has built a political career on christian values. Yesterday, he spoke publicly, denying a report by the Washington Post that he had Sexual Conduct with a minor decades ago. His accuser claims it happened when she was just 14 and moore was 32. I mean, ive never talked to her, never had any contact with her. Allegations of Sexual Misconduct with her are completely false. I believe theyre politically motivated. Three other women say he pursued them around the same time when they were teenagers. Now some republicans are among those saying moore has to leave the race. Although its too late to remove his name from the alabama ballot. The special election there is in december. House minority leaders are responding to some very blunt criticism from their friends. Former Democratic Party chief Donna Brazille was in San Francisco this week promoting her new book which is critical of nancy pelosi. She told a crowd it was time for pelosi to step aside and make room for new blood. When we asked pelosi about the comments, she simply said brazille is a wonderful resource for the party. I dont care about that. You know what i care about . I care about defeating this tax bill. So if you want to spend any time talking about the internal whatever goes on in the Democratic Party, im not your person. Pelosi says infighting and disputes are a given in any political party. It is 7 36. Still ahead on today in the bay, steph curry with a shot you have to see to believe.

But the 49ers say not as bad as it looks. We have this picture taken at kickoff last sunday. The 49ers say 55,000 people attended this game against the cardinals. Thats about 85 capacity. Pretty good. The team says the photos are misleading because a lot of fans are in the club areas. As for the prices, you can get a ticket for this sundays game against the giants for as cheap as 19. Along the 50 yard line, however, 222. The Oakland Raiders set to break ground this monday on their new stadium in las vegas.

Well make way for mostly cool skies and a cool afternoon. Ill talk about your forecast for today and when we can expect to see more rain in the bay area. Coming up just after the break. Stay with us. Good morning. Its 7 43. Its saturday morning. I hope youve got your nice cup of coffee and this gorgeous sunrise in walnut creek will definitely help you wake up. Using our Weather Underground cameras, look how beautiful this is. You can see that layer of that fog, some nice cloud cover in there and then well start seeing a a lot of that cloud cover clear out quite nicely just in time for a perfect afternoon, but before we get to your temperatures, i wanted to show you how beautiful it looks in ha in lake tahoe right now. Its beautiful, clear, and the Road Conditions should be a lot more promising than they have been when we got that first snowstorm last weekend so make sure to check that to play it safe. 51 degrees for the peninsula right now. Trivalley, 46 degrees, its a little bit cold in some spots, and San Francisco, it is pretty foggy still along some locations. You can actually see all of that fog along our coastal fog radar. We can see that 24hour temperature change as well. Look at half moon bay. Were about 11 degrees cooler today at this hour than we were yesterday. Santa rosa, five degrees cooler, napa, 7 degrees cooler and even down near san jose, one or two degrees cooler, were getting in line for what its supposed to be like at this time of year. San francisco temperature trend as soon as that fog starts to clear out and we welcome breaks of sunshine, well climb into the upper 50s, lower 60s and for East San Jose, also expect to see breaks of sunshine by midmorning. Already starting to see that now, so that will be a good thing because theres a lot of events happening for veterans day. Lets talk about that rain. When we look at that hourbyhour outlook, we see that the majority of that rain has cleared out for today, but if we fast forward through sunday, we can see weve got that system sitting off to the north, which is why were expecting the north bay to start seeing some rain as early as tomorrow evening into monday morning. And then by about 1 00, on monday morning, by the afternoon, well expect to see some pops of showers all the way from santa rosa down to San Francisco, oakland, and hayward, and then that system will kind of start pushing its way down south, keeping the chance of some spotty showers on and off throughout monday, but definitely expecting a very rainy monday. So todays highs will be climbing into the 60s for oakland, 62 degrees, the majority of the bay area will still to the upper 60s and if youre heading to that veterans day parade in downtown san jose, heres a look at what you can expect. So it starts at 11 00 a. M. And then goes through 2 00. By 12 00, 62 degrees, and then by 2 00, 65, i know i had a couple of facebook viewers that were concerned about it possibly raining. Its not going to rain. Youre going to have nice conditions, just a little bit on the cooler end. So, thats the good news on that end. Now, as far as the next seven days, we do have a couple of changes on the way. Well keep that rain returning, developing north on sunday and then it will kind of linger around through monday. Well clear out a little bit on tuesday then more rain is expected as we head into wednesday. Now just for San Francisco but also inland spots and notice our temperature trend kind of sticks to the 60s all week long so were on top for a good falllike week ahead. Just expect more showers as we head into tomorrow. Still ahead on today in the bay, usually, backspace corrects a typo, but not this time. Plus a connection to russia. Nbc bay area responds next. Minutes ag c welcome back. Just in to our news room, the final demolition on the bay bridge minutes ago, caltrans workers imploded the last two remaining piers of the old eastern span of the bay bridge. Demolition was completed a year ahead of schedule, saving taxpayers nearly 10 million. Be careful of typos online. Nbc bay area responds to a San Francisco man who says he was fooled online with just one key stroke, he thought he was doing business with costco, but later learned he had given his credit card information to a complete stranger. Consumer investigator chris helped connect the dots to russia. Reporter alan stern can spell trouble with one letter, o. I had been tricked. Reporter last year, he unknowingly misspelled costco in his browser. Theres an extra o in there, yet alan says the website that loaded looked legitimate. It had the costco logo and brand and i thought i had gone to costco. Com. Reporter the page asked allen to do this eightquestion survey. Allen called us after four 97 tlars and 98 charges appeared on his credit card for a cosmetic membership. He returned the cream and complained to costco in writing. How could you do this . How could you support this . Costco wrote back and said, this wasnt us. Reporter we shared allens experience with Technology Analyst carolina. We learned a new term, typo piracy. Thats what the tech world calls the misuse of misspelled web addresses to possibly rip you off. These people have no limits as to how they try and get you. Reporter she says some sites collect a finders fee for directing poor spellers. Some masquerade as a real site and dupe you into buying something. The worst case is a typo that leads to a scam site or malware. You could actually end up having your identity stolen. Reporter she says typo piracy is too complicated to fully unravel. I dont know how good your Investigative Journalism is. I know from a consumer perspective, im not going to figure out, you know, where these people are. Reporter well, we tried with the cost oco website. First we searched public registries and found that address registered in russia to a person named vladimir, a name associated with other typo websites, including mariiott, verizon, missing an e, and south wesr. Com. When we voted southwesr, it had a survey just like costoco. Thats not the only similarity. Several people posted glowing comments. Well, those same people also endorsed costoco in the exact same order. The real southwest and the real costco told us they have no connection to these sites. They never asked for the surveys or authorized the use of their name or logo. So we had questions for vladimir. We sent messages to moscow but never heard back. When we cross referenced the email addresses he used to register his site, we found more than 500 other websites, each off by just a letter or two from brand names.
