Its founder told me shes bringing in experts from the red cross to make sure those with ledge mal needs receive the money. There are many more personal pleas appearing online. And Charity Watchdogs remind us, the mass casualties obvious times attract thieves who prey on wellmeaning donorses like you. Heres how we believe you can give with confidence. Ask questions. And if you dont get answers hold off. And ideally make a personal connection. Give to a person or organization you already know. Be careful. Janelle, back to you. Thanks so much, chris.

Some streets are closed because of the water main break at fourth and howard. A live look from nbc chopper, and we actually brought you this story on today in the bay. This is the intersection right now. Its jammed up, but typical friday night traffic. Chrissy smith is live. How is it looking from the ground . Crews busy at work. Reporter well, thats right. And first they said the intersection might reopen late this afternoon. I just spoke with the sfp, and now theyre saying that probably wont happen until at least late tonight. Thats because the water main that broke was actually pressurized and what it did was it caused quite a bit of erosion. You can see if we pan over there, that underneath the roadway, there is nothing. And so theyre still peeling back the roadway and trying to fill it back in as they fix the street. Third and Howard Street in San Francisco do get congested. Today traffic came to a crawl. Samuel gonzalez is stuck, trying to get his family home to fresno. Took an hour. Reporter youve been trying to leave San Francisco for an hour. Yes. Its really bad. And the kids are hungry and crying. Are we there yet . No. Reporter a 12inch water main broke at fourth and howard overnight, briefly disrupting service to two buildings. This water spilled into the garage near mess coney center and the central subway project. The pipe dates back to 1895, one of many old pipes. The puc has undertaken an aggressive goal of repairing or replacing about 15 miles of pipe per year. Although clearly we havent caught up with all of the vulnerable ones. Reporter she says in fiscal year 2013, they replaced six miles of pipe. Nine in 2014, 12 in 2015 and 15 in 2016. There have been 5 3 water main failures in the First Six Months of this year and most occur in january. Many frustrated drivers never came near the intersection or knew of the water main break. They just waited. Its been hectic for a while. Ive been sitting in it for probably 30 minutes now. Just got out of the garage. Ive been probably half an hour for four blocks. Reporter now we have a look from above from our chopper. I asked the spokesperson out here, what is the best advice for drivers trying to get home. And he said, you jusù0v u avoid the area while these repairs are under way. At this point, late in the afternoon, they did open up two lanes so you can make the right turn here on Howard Street. But, again, it is backed up. They do say that one good thing in all of this, there are quite a few water lines running under near, and thats why there really wasnt a big impact to service. But, again, at this point, theyre saying that the work will continue late tonight. Reporting live in San Francisco, christie smith, nbc bay area news. A lot of digging going on at that intersection.

That can be very helpful for a lot of people. Thank you, michelle. Lets get a check of our forecast with jeff a0sranieri. Its off to the north, you guys. As that storm system gets closer, we expect that rainfall intensity to pick up all across the bay area. We have storm ranger out right now, and here you can see its all lit up. We have the Doppler Radar hoisted up about 20 feet on the back as that continues to scan the atmosphere getting us the latest on whats happening. As we get you back to the storm ranger doppler scan, what youll be able to see is not much happening right now as we have the clouds overhead. Currently 61 degrees at our live location, and temperatures dropping into the 50s tonight with increasing chances of rain throughout 8, 9 and also 10 00. So lets go ahead and take a look at what were getting right now. And youll see some of the data is showing some spotty showers just offshore. Right where storm ranger is located. Weve had some drizzle on and off. But nothing in terms of widespread rainfall at the current moment. We need to look way off to the north before we start to see any kind of measurable rainfall. You can see its a wide shield of wet weather, moderate rainfall with a few heavier pockets. Eventually thats going to push down across the bay area. So what i want to show you next is the futurecast. You can see by 7 30 tonight, a hit and miss shower. Once we hit 11 30 at night, wet weather develops ahead of the front. I think this is overdoing it a little bit but you get the general idea. The chance of scattered rain by 11 30 tonight. Once we hit 5 00 in the morning, things pick up in intensity across the area as the cold front moves across. So the north bay on track to get that rainfall first. And as that cold front arrives, for tomorrow morning, it will be chilly to start. 47 in the south bay. 42 for the tri valley. For the east bay, 46 degrees. And San Francisco begins at 47. Lets switch it back to the futurecast, and well run this out through your saturday forecast. And, again, wet weather to start first for the north bay. Then this starts to push down to the south here. East by and peninsula by 9 00 in the morning. And then by the noon hour, we should have at least something down here for the south bay at this point. Totals on average, about a quarter to a half inch. Maybe some higher amounts up into the north bay. Well start to see things beginning to push on out by 7 30 tomorrow night. In terms of that microclimate forecast, no matterj where yoe going, temperatures very similar. Tomorrow, 59 in morgan hill. 60 in san jose. The east bay, 6 it in concord. Throughout the peninsula, anywhere from 58 in daly city to 61 in palo alto. San francisco, also cool 50s across the board. And right up into the north bay, 55 in mill valley with our warmest temperature in napa at 62. This wet weather tomorrow does mean snow in the sierra. Anywhere from 2 inches in kingville to maybe 13 inches in kirkwood. On the extended forecast, again, rainfall tomorrow morning arrives. Sunday is dry, a spotty shower next tuesday. The day im watching out for is next friday in the forecast. Thats when we could have some heavier rain and also wind returning. And youll see its pretty much the same here for the interior valleys with these cool 50s. Mostly here throughout the next sevenday forecast. Okay, jeff. Good update. Thank you so much. Still to come, have you been hanging on to your galaxy note 7 . A good reason why you should turn it in now.
