And it has been a wild day of weather to tell you about as well. This true for most of the bay area. Take a look at what it looked like earlier as it rained in san jose. Then came the hail. Now that is the sound of more hail coming down in san jose. Over the weekend, it looked a little bit like the east coast. Nbc bay areas chief meteorologist jeff ranieri is here with a look. I know the kids loved the hailstorms. A lot of people mistook that for snowfall. But it was hail. We had a storm system move across, and really lower the cold air here across the bay area to such a low level that you get just a little uplift in the atmosphere. It froze as hail and rushed back to the ground. We have the second storm system that moves across today. Its been very isolated in nature. Those of you that did get rainfall and hail reports, from those of you who didnt. Most of that coming from the south bay. I still think over the next two hours we may have a little bit of activity pop up across the south bay, the peninsula and the east bay. Thats about it. Things are winding down as you can see in the Doppler Radar right now. We did have a shower across downtown san jose that started to clear on out. Speaking of clearing check out this picture of our weather. Thats a sign of things to come. Still ahead, surf and snow. We are live in Southern California where the odd weather made for quite an interesting day at the beach. New at 6 00 a battle is brews over the use of herbicides. The spray will create a bigger problem. This map shows where it will happen next week near highway 84 between skyline boulevard and highway 1. Thats right. Im here on highway 84. This is the root they will be coming next week. Thats about where im standing right now. Many people in the neighborhood worry the chemicals will get into their water supply. We all live downstream. Patty has lived in the coastal mountains in San Mateo County for decade. Last year she spearheaded the effort. However, the ban does not apply to land owned by the the state. Its all the threat that is not necessary. Next week they will spray the vegetation near highway 84 between sky lane and highway 101. Were only using the amount of herbicide we need and absolutely no more. I understand about fire safety. But its always possible to mow. Caltran says mowing is not an option. We dont have the resources to take care of the problem, other than by spraying. He also says the herbicides wont be used within 50 feet of a creek or stream bed. She fears her well water will be contaminated by toxic chemicals. Shes asking them to prove its safe by testing samples before and after the spraying. Its not worth the risk. They can opt out by putting a sign in their front lawn. Michelle roberts, nbc, bay area news. A teenager involved in a deadly hit and run in san jose has turned himself in. Police booked a 15yearold into Juvenile Hall for felon hit and run and manslaughter. The crash killed another 15yearold teenager over the weekend. Police say it was a result of a drag race between suspected gang members. The cars collided. One veered off the road and hit a light pop. The victim was ejecteded from the car. Two others were hurt and remain in the homt tonight. Ever since she disappeared three years ago, volunteers are looking for morgan hill teenager sierra lamar. Today the family announced that will soon shut down the search center. We have more on how this decision will impact the criminal case and the man accused of killing her. Reporter weve been coming to this courthouse for years as they move through the Justice System is. And the decision to suspend the weekly searches could be a significant change for both the prosecution and defense. The Sierra Lamar Search Center operated out of several sites since the morgan hill 15yearold disappeared on her way to school march 16th 2012. Her family says they will conduct the last weekly search on saturday march 14th and the search headquarters currently at the rec center will shut down at the the end of the month. Sierras parents say they ran out of viable areas to search, but will have an oncall group ready to respond to new leads. Keep her in their thoughts and prayers and hope that we can get adjusted. They say the decision could impact the case against torres. What the defense is going to see as a result of the searches closing down is that the reason there was no body found is there was no body to be found. And sierra could still be alive. As long as the search is continued, this case is on the front page. And now that theres not a weekly ongoing searches, the publicity is going to decrease meaning its likely to keep the case here. Torres is due back in court on april 8th. Many search volunteers tell me they plan to be here to show their ongoing support for the lamar family. Live in san jose for nbc bay area news.

So when the skies opened up and dropped a hailstorm on surf city usa of course Valerie Osbourne had to run outside to see for herself. Caller ive been in Southern California raised all my life. This was crazy today. The sky broke down. It felt like snow and hail. Lightning. Thunder. From a distance it did look like it. Its actually pea sized hay. Its amazing.

It doesnt happen very often, or ever. And weve been keeping in touch with the nbc weather team. It hails two or three times a year here. But today was extremely is rare because we got half an inch to an inch of sand. Thank you. We had our own hailstorm in the bay area. Lets get a check of that with jeff ranieri. You can see the picture behind me of saut san jose hills. The the key ingredient we had this weekend. The fact that we had so much cold air aloft. The second thing is the uplift. A lot of uplift pushing this rainfall higher to the atmosphere. It can freeze and mixed up in the circulation. Then eventually that rain drops get so heavy it just falls to the ground. When it does, it fell as hail. There was enough uplift. There was enough moisture and cold air to create scenes like this. Definitely a wild site across the bay area even this past weekend. Today we had another system move on by. It wasnt as unstable. Definitely some shower activity visible here with heights on the couple lus clouds. 10,000 to 20,000 feet. We did clear out to sunshine. Doppler radar is showing little to no activity at the current moment as we see things calm down. Mainly temperatures in the 50s. And so the big thing on tomorrows forecast so we are not expecting severe weather. 67 in the north bay. And well go for 66 in the south bay.

Ill show you never before seen images of our local wildlife. Investigators are trying to figure out how a fire started this morning. No injuries to report. Several cars were destroyed. The California Republican party made headlines when members voted to accept a gay Political Group into the fold. Its officially recognizing the log cabin republican. Nbc bay area political analyst joins us with insight. So which is it . For years the republicans have talked act it. But they didnt go out of their way to invite anybody, except straight whites. This supported proposition eight. That was the antisamesex marriage proposition. And as a result the democrats have cashed in with racial minorities and lgbt voters. In most cases by about 31 ratio. Thats awfully heavy. Today they understand the significance of the 15 or 16 registration point gap in california. And theyre doing something about it. Theyre doing something substantial about it. So back to your question, yes. So why are they doing this . Is this to become more likable in california . Well yeah. And the effort doesnt just ends with lgbt voters. Under party chair, the Republican Party has begun an ambitious outreach effort to latinos interested in local elections. Thats where it starts. Okay. And theyre beginning to see traction. Last november in Southern California, for example, a republican Asian American was elected to the San Diego City Council for the very first time. And two members to the board of supervisors last year. These changes may seem small or trivial. But for a political party, yes, they are significant. So with all these changes, will the state Republican Party be more competitive in california . Maybe not next year. Its going to take a while. As these candidates of racial and political diversity climb up that political ladder yes, we can expect more competition. The oneparty days of california may soon disappear. Okay. Well see what happens. Larry gerston. Our political analyst, thanks for your time today.

The threats came on several anonymous internet sites in retaliation for twitter taking down isis related accounts. The message in arabic comes with a message over jack dorsey and a target super imposed over our head. When our alliance come and take your breath you will never come o back to life. Twitter isnt talking but released a statement saying its Security Team is investigating the voracity of the threats with relevant Law Enforcement officials. The fbi wont confirm the official investigation, but they are analyzing the threats enand will proceed accordingly. Rick smith is the former fbi agent. Its a threat that originated with isis or with a call to isis followers to react. If its the former its more serious than the latter. Smith cautioned it could be an attempt to grab attention. When these people are cutting heads off and then Something Like this theres going to be a reaction. Thats their whole goal. Security forces are posted outside here. And police in new york city say they have increased patrols around twitter auss there. The idea that blocking or eliminating this sort of conversation on twitter is going to stop the spread of the ideas seems to me misguided. The the extra attention from reporters was not welcomed as twitter employees ducked away from questions. And Technology Director says the threats will also likely have a Chilling Effect on twitter employees around the world. You wouldnt want people to know if youre traveling in europe or the middle east that you were working for twitter. Several twitter accounts have reported there are still isis related accounts up on twitter. Maybe it would be better to leave the accounts up and let the police and investigators use the posts as evidence in their investigations. Reporting from twitter headquarters.
