Able to see everything really upsetting to see this going on in your community.

Reporter well raj, police had to close down temporarily highway 101 last night as they collected evidence. 20 minutes of road rage ended here in gunfire. It ended here last night along northbound highway 101 near the 880 interchange. 20 minutes of road rage culminating in gunfire from the suspect. The victim wasnt hit. How lucky is this guy . Hes very lucky, actually. One of the two bullets actually entered the interior of the vehicle, went through the Center Console and was lodged in the back of the drivers seat, right in the lumbar region. Yes, he is pushing us off the road. She is coming for us. Reporter the incident was reminiscent of another road rage incident last month, captured on cell phone video on highway 80 north of sacramento. The video shows a santa clara driver allegedly trying to run the victims off the highway. The chp says its better and safer to take the high road in these cases rather than engage the aggressive driver. Its always better to kind of swallow your pride and be able to continue on your route and get to your destination instead of not getting there at all. Reporter the suspect in last nights shooting got away. Last night . Reporter yeah. Over road rage . See how bad it gets . How can you avoid that . Reporter every driver we spoke with today say theyve always been the victim who tries to avoid a confrontation. Thats what i do. When youre in a marked vehicle, there is not a lot you can do. You say thats nice and drive on down the road. Try to be the bigger person on the road if you find yourself in one of these situations. Reporter now both drivers last night were giving each other hand gestures and braking their cars right in front of each other along that 20mile stretch. That road rage was being confronted here.

This is a live look over san jose and San Francisco where it is cloudy and overcast. Some places picked up even a little rain. Chief meteorologist jeff ranieri joins us. And jeff, it was much cooler today. It is. And its still frustrating for us right now. We do have a powerful storm system. Its a couple hundred miles off to the north. It is going to produce from 3 to 6 inches of rainfall for sections of the pacific northwest. But we remain on the weaker edge of the storm system. But with that storm line so close to us again, we did manage to pick up some rainfall for today. Lets take a look at our Weather Underground rainfall totals. You can see little to nothing here for sonoma and petaluma. But those raindrops are the first raindrops we have seen in january. It has been dry for the entire month. 0. 06. Healdsburg at. 35. Where we are hurting the most right now is that sierra snowpack. The latest check this week has it at 36 for the southern sierra. Central sierra 35 . And for the northern sierra 43 . Of course we get a majority of our water from the snowpack. And right now there is no sign of any major storm system that would be contributing to that snowpack increasing all the way through the rest of the month. So were going to track more on this storm pattern sitting out here offshore. And well let you know what this means for the upcoming weekend, because its not going to be totally sunny in just a few minutes. Jeff well see you then.

A rough ride for bart commuters this morning after protests shut down for some two hours. Protesters are demanding that bart drop charges against 14 people arrested at another demonstration in oakland back in november. To make their point, today they halted trains by blocking the doors. Stranding frustrated riders just trying to get to work. Im all for their cause, but right now i just want to go home. It stinks when this train is held up, when its late. We have appointments. We have families. It costs us all more money and time. Police did arrest two demonstrators. Tonights trains though are back up and running on time. A similar sight in oakland where protesters today took over the Federal Building what n what was labeled as a rally for civil rights, demonstrators chained themselves to the entrance for four hours and 28 minutes. The four hours they say represents the amount of time Michael Browns body was left on the ground after being shot by a Police Officer in missouri. And the 20 minutes, protesters claim, how often an unarmed black person is killed by Police Vigilantes and private security. Todays demonstration is one of several taking place this weekend, a series of events that culminate on monday with a march in oakland on Martin Luther king jr. Today. San francisco led the movement for gay rights which eventually led to allowing samesex marriage in california. But across the nation many samesex couples still dont have that right. The National Debate will soon be resolved. The u. S. Supreme court says it will rule on the divisive issue, either clearing the way for gay marriage in all 50 states or giving power to each state to determine its own policy.

Reporter Stuart Gaffney and his husband john have been legally married since 2008 when they said i do at San Franciscos city hall. Well, samesex marriage is legal here, its not in 14 other states. We live here in San Francisco. Were not just californians. Were americans. And we want and we deserve to have that freedom to be to be able to be married anywhere in this great nation. Reporter now the u. S. Supreme court has agreed to make a final decision on the issue. Theyll rule by the end of june whether samesex couples have a constitutional right to marry, or if states have the right to decide. This is the actual final question that the Supreme Court would actually be able to answer about marriage. Reporter lawyers at the National Center for lesbian rights represent the tennessee couples in the Supreme Court case including a bay area couple who married in San Francisco, but then moved to tennessee where their union isnt recognized. Samesex marriage advocates like gaffney and lewis hope the Supreme Court will rule in their favor, giving the green light to3v gay marriagecwq,rn all 50 states. I get goose bumps just thinking that maybe in june when the court rules, its truly going to be Marriage Equality across the entire usa. Reporter now i just got a call from save california. Com, a group that opposes samesex marriage. They say they too are excited, but of course they are hoping that the court will leave it up to the states to decide. Again, the u. S.

Well it is a tentative ruling that may give city college of San Francisco a reprieve. Today a judge ruled that a bay Area Commission may have broken the law by revoking the colleges accreditation before giving the school a chance to respond. Back in 2013 the accrediting commission cited problems with managing and the way it was run. He says the way the commission treated city college is fundamentally flawed. That it undermined the integrity of the Accreditation Process and threatened the Educational Mission of an institution that has done great work for generations of san franciscans. The commission and the city both have 15 days to respond before a judge issues his final decision. A 30year journey comes to an end on monday right here in the bay area. On monday, which is Martin Luther king day, the final freedom train will run from san jose to San Francisco. The symbolic train ride will be the last one of its kind in the entire country. More than two dozen official mlk commemorative trains were launched by kings widow 30 years ago. But a steady decline in interest is the reason the train will no longer run. Mondays train is sold out. Once the news got out of the Program Ending tickets went fast. So how did 20 fremont Senior Citizens manage to walk route 66 from los angeles to chicago . Thanks to bay area technology, the residents just finished a sixmonth try of alter g antigravity treadmill. Its made in fremont. It uses air pressure to lift the walker or runner just enough to take street off the legislation. The seniors motivated themselves by a map across the u. S. Competing more than 2,000 miles combined. By the end of the trial, staff say some no longer needed canes or walkers to get around plus they also had other benefits too. Residents being able to go dancing. We have one couple who had not been dancing in ten years, and were so thrilled to be able to go out on a date and dance and enjoy the night without pain. Isnt that great . Its already in use by physical therapists and some pro athletes that are recovering from injury. This is the first time it was tried out with the senior set. And look it works. Look at them move. They look great. I dont think i can keep up. Jeff ranieri is here. Cool. Friday of a threeday holiday weekend. A lot of people excited for this. We have a few speed bumps. You can see in the satellite radar picture right now, the cloud cover, the storm track is just to the north. Weve had a lot of fog throughout tonight, also some areas of drizzle. Were checking with the faa airport delays map, and youll be able to see here across San Francisco right now running 73 minutes behind. Anyone arriving tonight or departing arriving for tomorrow will want to watch out for some delays. Well take you to the Sky Camera Network. We do have loud cover across the south bay and peninsula. Temperatures in the 50s. But across San Francisco and again the north bay, thats where were finding that drizzle for tonight. Now, for tomorrows forecast i still think well have some spotty areas of mist and drizzle for the north bay and San Francisco. And mainly dry weather for the trivalley, the peninsula, and also the south bay. Temperatures in the 60s. So get you into the weather trend as you head throughout this upcoming weekend, right into Martin Luther king day on monday. And youll see temperatures do cool off by mondays forecast. Driest weather will be in the south bay over the next three days. For the peninsula, its not going to be a rainout this weekend. Again, just some spotty activity, some clouds. It will be more like a nuisance for us and also some breaks of sun throughout saturday sunday and monday. And for San Francisco, the same drill here for saturday and sundays forecast. With dry weather expected into monday. For the north bay, east shore and trivalley, well see that possibility of some drizzle once again for saturday and sunday in the north bay. So if youre doing anything for monday or you dont have any plans yet, you can head out to San FranciscoMartin Luther king jr. Day parade from fourth and king right to yerba buena gardens. Were expecting the best day in San Francisco by mondays forecast with some breaks of sun and temperatures primarily in the 50s. Thats a look at your forecast right now. Well have more coming up in about 25 minutes. Okay. See you then jeff. Still ahead, it fell from the sky and then burst into flames. Now video giving us a closer look at the spacex rocket crash. Scott budman. New Business Opportunities for Silicon Valley as the u. S. Gets closer to cuba. It almost worked. This is new slow motion video that shows the crash landing of the spacex rocket off the coast of florida. It wasnt supposed to do that. The rocket which launched a capsule into space for astronauts at the International Space station was supposed to do a soft landing on to that platform on that cargo barge. The idea was to save the rocket and reuse it again since the rocket is the most expensive part of every launch. Clearly it didnt work. Instead, as you see there, it came slamming down breaking a part into a firely ball. Well today is the day. New rules went into effect rolling back the decades old trade embargo with cuba. Its a new era of open trade. And among the most wanted items among cubans technology, specifically new devices and wifi. Scott budman is outside a south bay cuban restaurant where technology is all the buzz. Reporter jessica and raj its not necessarily the first thing you think of when you think trade with cuba. But wifi often means a more open society, and cuba says it wants to be in better touch with the outside world. Only 17 of cuban residents have cell phones now, with only 5 able to hop on the internet. Something we take for granted. Potentially a big Business Opportunity for Silicon ValleyCompanies Like wifi gear provider ruckus wireless. And theyll have a new market to go attack is a nice thing. Reporter rob gil handles sales to the americas. He says cuba represents an underserved market hungry for new technology and devices powered by wifi. My assumption is that the Technology Base down there is very, very light, okay. If they have things theyre probably older, old tooth, maybe bought off the secondary market, the gray market. And there is probably a huge opportunity there to bring wifi. Reporter for cuban native and san jose resident anna lee bergantino, more wifi means more access to what is going on. For instance more movies more communication with families here. Reporter where web access will help open an entire world that has been closed off to cuban residents. How u. S. Things before they dont allow us to know what is going on. So now they are curious about the life here. Reporter more knowledge, more entertainment, and potentially, more sales as Technology Becomes more open to cubans. And the Obama Administration has gone on record as saying the best way to normalize relations with cuba to give cubans more access to the outside world. Reporting live in san jose, scott budman, nbc bay area news. All right, thank you very much scott. Now the easing of these travel rules will allow passengers to keep some of their souvenirs that they bring from havana a limited amount. Passengers flying in to miami with cuban rum and cigars got to keep them. Before you used to have to hide them in your luggage and they were treated like contraband if they found them. But now each traveler coming into the u. S. May bring up to 100 worth of liquor and cigars. The war on terror the main topic at the white house today.

Thats the grim prediction from local Health Experts who announce four deaths in the bay area from the flu. Influenza cases have already reached epidemic levels all across the country. Now were learning about the impact here in the bay area. Here are some of the numbers. Four adults from San Francisco, san mateo and sonoma counties have died from the flu. Nbc bay areas robert honda has the story from san jose. Reporter trees shah already had daughter christina wearing a mask when they came to the Doctors Office today, and the Doctors Office had warnings posted well before the Public Health department announced the news of four big area flurelated deaths. Its better to prevent than lament. So absolutely, im really shocked at the news. And im really happy that i took the steps to bring her in. My started to hurt and when i went to school i didnt feel that good. Im going the take your mask off. Reporter christina does have the flu, and so do a lot of other patients the most she has seen in years. I think people have been coming in quicker right now because theyre hearing about how significant this flu season. So people are coming in a lot sooner. The Public HealthDepartment Says thats good but things will still probably get worse. They point out possible flurelated deaths are not reported when victims are 65 years and older because of all the other possible factors. So there are more deaths than the numbers show. In the past when weve had influenza each three, they tend to be more severe flu seasons with more hospitalization and deaths. So we kind of already predicting this might be a more severe season. That was roberta handa reporting. So many fruits and vegetables come from the valley. That includes apple grown by bidart brothers of bakersfield. The granny smith and gala apples could be contaminated with listeria. That bacteria can cause listeriosis which is potentially fatal. Three deaths have been linked to the apples. The last time they shipped the affected granny smith apples was in early december but Health Officials say some customers could have frozen some of the fruit. They want to spread the word.

Reporter another concern of theirs, the islamic government of iran and its nuclear program. President obama urged congress not to pass new sanctions against iran saying it could derail Nuclear Talks and incite the risk of war. And i respectfully request them to hold off for a few months to see if we have the possibility of solving a big problem without resorting potentially to war. And Prime Minister cameron not shy saying this. He said the u. S. Should do more domestic spying to uncover islamic radicals. Raj . Thank you janelle.

San franciscos noisiest and smelliest tourist attraction is celebrating an anniversary. 25 years of just kind of crashing out at pier 39 uninvited. At first merchants werent thrilled when the sea lions moved in. They changed their minds when excited tourists started showing up taking pictures to share with their friends back home.

The Sea Lion Center hosted todays celebration, which will include, how about this, Free Education walking tours all weekend. Well 2014 turned out was a real record breaker, but not in a good way. Climatologists say it was the hottest year on record. The average worldwide surface temperature grew by more than 1. 2 degrees. Thats according to experts with nasa and noaa, the National Oceanic and atmospheric administration. The higher temps were driven by record temps in the records oceans that didnt just break marks, it actually shattered them. And theyre not really surprised by this but i think its raising a lot of alarm bells. It even had a 1 degree difference in temperatures over a severalyear period can bring us some widespread side effects. Only Mother Nature knows what is going to happen over the next 10 to 20 years. As for the next couple of weeks, ive got the answer for that. You can see some fog across the San Francisco peninsula. Well have details on spotty drizzle this weekend in just a few minutes. Also its a long notorious east bay commute. Find out why this road has captured the heart and eye of one of its daily travelers. An east bay man has done the seemingly impossible. He has found a way to maybe his commute meaningful. New at 6 00 tonight, nbc bay areas joe rosato jr. Turns his daily grind into something sublime. Its such a unique place. Reporter its not everyday. A real crawl. Reporter youll hear of someone. Its therapeutic and spiritual for me. Reporter excited about their daily commute. That goes especially for the 25,000 drivers making the daily 17. 7 mile slog between brentwood and livermore on vasco road. I came out one afternoon and went down vasco, and i was totally enamored with it. Reporter several years ago looks like a little water tower. Reporter Raymond Figueroa became one of vascos daily commuter. All these are cherry orchards. Reporter traveling from his Brentwood Home to his job at pleasanton senior center. Finally i told my wife somebody needs to take pictures of vasco before it goes away. Reporter so figueroa got a camera and started snapping away. I went out one weekend and started taking pictures and came back with some really beautiful shots. Reporter at first, he photographed the road. Then his lens found the backdrop. I want to get the water tower, the vineyard in an afternoon. Reporter a calico barn a sturdy tree, a weathered door. For a while, i just wanted to focus on the landscape. But its so inseparable with the people. Reporter eventually, figueroa sought out the people. At first i thought what is this guy doing. Reporter like fifth generation rancher. 1865 my great grandfather came here to work on the ranch. Reporter figueroa has taken many, many many votes of rooneys ranch. The old cars, the barn. You photographed your truck. Its about the beauty along the road. Its about the heritage. Reporter its a beauty that somehow rises above that notorious representation for daddy accidents. It has its horror stories. Reporter but thats not the road he sees when he clicks the shutter. Looking east at a sunrise, you can see the backlit silhouette of the sierra. There are two barnes. One of them has an American Flag painted on it. And thats the ranch that i grew up on. Reporter the busy vasco road of today isnt the one that kathy layton remembers playing hopscotch on as a child. There were so few cars that you certainly had plenty of warning. He has gotten some beautiful pictures and made me take a different look at the road when i go down it. And if we had seen a car, we jump up and down hey reporter now after collecting hundreds of photos and stories, figueroa has decided to turn his love of vasco into a book he plans to release by this summer. I say this book is not about me. Its about the people who call this home. Reporter in a way, its about a man who has fallen in love with his commute. I think thats what i wanted to let people know. Youre not driving in vain there is really a lot of beauty here. Reporter joe rosato jr. Nbc bay area news. And he did a great job of capturing that beauty too. Its nice up there. I want to go road trip to vasco road this weekend. It wont take you long to get there. Jeff ranieri is here with our holiday weekend. It looks like l. A. Outside a bit. Its hazy. We have the cloud cover. We have the drizzle. And thats the great thing about the bay area. When we have one sort of weather in one zone youre going to have usually Something Different in another. And thats what were going to have this weekend. You can see in the satellite radar picture most of the heaviest storm activity continues to remain well off to the north. We are just frustratingly on the bottom edge of this system. So thats why we havent seen any major rain returns. We have seen trace amounts to about 0. 03 up into marin. And even though the radar right now does not show anything in terms of green, at the extreme lower levels which the radar scan misses sometimes, we are tracking some patchy drizzle for tonight. I think thats also going to be in effect for tomorrow. You can see outside the Sky Camera Network right now. Temperatures in the upper 50s to low 60s. A little drizzle in the east bay, San Francisco and the north bay. Weve been showing you San Francisco because you can really see that low level area of moisture right here. Its that gray that is getting reflected off of the lights tonight, and also folks with their windshield wipers on this evening with temperatures right around the mid50s. Well take you to the forecast pattern, and the biggest problem we have had is this area of High Pressure. If we could just push this out of the way, we would see that storm track moving right across the bay area. But its not going to happen. High pressure is going to stay in just about the same spot as we continue to head throughout this weekend. Thats going to deflect all of the storm activity. Were going see some of the residual moisture on the bottom edge produce a few possible showers this weekend. An area of High Pressure that has so much dry air with it that as some of that moisture gets close, it evaporates and we lose all of our chances of any kind of major accumulation. So as we get a look at the forecast for saturday you can see on the microclimate we will have a better chance of drizzle in some spots than others. I think overall, the south bay will be the driest location. Well have the best chance of that sun poking through the most here across los gatos and morgan hill. Upper 60s to about 70. San jose expecting a high of 67. For the peninsula, 63 in pacifica. Possibility of drizzle. 62346 palo alto staying on the cloudier side. And for San Francisco, well also keep the chance here of the mist and on again off again drops in the forecast. Temperatures in the low 60s. And for the north bay, east bay and trivalley we again have the rain icon here. Throughout the north bay, remember, its not a bigtime storm system. Youll be driving along. It will be dry, and then all of the sudden you may need to turn on the windshield wipers. Same thing in oakland with 63. For walnut creek 66 and partly sunny. For trivalley, also partly sunny skies here in pleasanton and 68 degrees. So the overall weekend forecast if you do want the driest weather, its going to be in the south bay, and also for the trivalley. Temperatures in the mid to upper 60s. But if youre you know okay with the spotty showers and youre traveling here across the bay area this weekend. You can expect that possibility of some hit and miss drizzle in the peninsula, San Francisco, also for the east bay and the north bay, both on saturday and also for sunday morning. Now, if you want total sunshine, weve nailed down that forecast for you as we head throughout this threeday weekend for a lot of us heading into Martin Luther king jr. Day on monday. You can see sunny skies expected up in lake tahoe. Temperatures on the chilly side. No snowfall. So with the snow they have up there, it will be great for the skiing conditions. And again on the cooler side by monday with 33 degrees. Heavenly, squaw, and north star all with at least 25 trails open. So it looks like a decent weekend. Lets hope for some bigtime snow in february. I know the ski resorts, we definitely like that. They would love it. Thank you, jeff. Some silver and black swagger.

More of these nuisance areas that can be moving in and out on saturday and sunday. You can see in our san jose sky camera right there, we have a lot of haze across the valley for tonight. And for tomorrow a best chance of showers would be in San Francisco. Its really going to be very isolated and the north bay. And thats also going to extend into sunday. For most of you, its probably going to look and feel more like a drizzle. And then you can see dry weather as we continue throughout next monday tuesday and also on wednesday. So not the sunniest of weekends coming our way, but its definitely going to be a little bit wet from here and there across portions of San Francisco. So we need february to kick in a big way to be rainy for us. Yeah, we need that rain. Well need it bad. Its so frustrating. We have this huge storm right off to the north.
