reporter: now, northern california is not alone. l.a. was hit hard just a few days ago. and once month ago north texas and oklahoma were hit with 86 arrests. i.c.e. deputy director gave us this statement tonight saying, quote, sanctuary jurisdictions like san francisco and oakland shield dangerous criminal aliens from federal law enforcement at the expense of public safety. because these

the drought monitor in these yellow color you can see incredibly dry. the thing that's going to change everything for us especially in the next 24 to 46 hours is a colder storm moving down from the north that will have some heavier rainfall for the bay area. i want to give you some preliminary details with what we expect, and we think it'll be thursday, 1 to 1.5 inches of rain. maybe some more low snow. down to about 2,000 feet, possibly a bit of hail. no major river flooding but we'll still be watching the creeks and streams. now, some of our viewers sent us video of what they saw over the

more serious than others to actually getting into the databases which contains sensitive information about voters. u.s. officials had this evidence years ago but never told election leaders in any of these states. they were only told that the russian, quote, tried to hack. but there was no evidence they were successful. nbc news correspondent cynthia mcfadden uncovered this infers in a special investigation that aired just a few moments ago on nightly news. >> i think what's critical is you can't expect states to protect themselves because they don't have all the information. and it certainly appears california was not given all the information intelligence officials had. >> it is extremely important it be shared immediately to protect the integrity of election results. >> and officials say the election was highly classified and at the time no state official had security access to that information. they found their own cyber investigations. all those states agree the russians did not alter any election results during the hack. threats written on the bathroom walls found at two bay area high school. the result one school shutdown today and at the other students stayed home by the hundreds. parents took no chances. they took that absence instead. people are just really nervous. >> reporter: jessica, that's right, they are. and students posted pictures of that

is oh, no, here we go again. that some kid is troubled and is trying to let us know. >> reporter: the message appears to say today's date with the phrase everyone is dead. snapshots of the graffiti posted to social media as well. alameda principal sent home a letter about the graffiti saying quote, despite our attempts we have not been able to ascertain who created the graffiti or what their intentions were. police officers on the alameda campus and another bay area high school. school officials closed ana lee high school today after someone found threatening graffiti in a boy's bathroom

weeks ago and now it's amazon. apple saying it's launching it's own health clinics for its employees and family. scott, we don't work for apple. what could this mean, though, for the rest of us. >> reporter: it could be a big change, raj. after all tech companies like apple have long prided themselves as riding the cutting edge when it comes to gadgets. now tech companies might change the way we see our doctors. apples is moving more than employees into its new spaceship headquarters. it's joining tech giants like cisco by offering in-house health care out sourced by a company called ac wellness. think of it as a super convenient perk that could be used as a recruiting tool. >> you have to have access for our employees to care in order to recruit staff and retain staff. >> reporter: john jackson is the executive director of corporate health programs at stanford, which has had a long relationship with cisco. but what about the rest of us? the centers for disease control and

years from now. >> reporter: jackson said as in-house health care takes off, future health care might come down. >> that can translate for hour. >> reporter: it may be cost saving? >> it may. >> reporter: ac wellness describes itself as an independent company. its website complete with job listings and it'll launch later this year. nbc bay area news. coming up a change to the flagship store

getting hard to keep track at this point. first it was the men's store right around the corner. macy's is downsizing its floor space after devouring real estate for decades. many shoppers swallowed the news with a slight hint of sadness in their voice. >> macy's has been since i was a little kid. >> reporter: whether it's your man or woman on the street. >> i grew up going to union square and macy's with their flagship store. >> reporter: the flagship store is staying put, but the eye magnum edifice next door will be sold. >> the vast majority of sales in america still occur at brick and mortar stores. it's just not as much, and the trend is clearly going more towards more online sales. >> reporter: jim lazarus with the san francisco stores says that's forced macy's into tighter sweet spots. but don't feel too forlorned. macy's is still the biggest department store. >> i'd rather see the merchandise whatever versus buying online. >> you're old school. >> reporter: and it is ironic as we talk about these historic places changing hands. the marshal field in chicago was bought by macy's and today macy's announced it is selling the top half of that historic building for $30 million. >> okay, we can all relate to that. thank you, sam. apple co-founder is sending a strong message about bitcoin. he says he loss more than $70,000 worth of bitcoin not because of the market but a thief. someone bought the bitcoin from him online and the thief canceled the payment and stole the bitcoin from him before it could be finished. he bought the bitcoin when it was worth $700 a piece. this may be one of the oddest sights for people in the tri-valley. snow coming down this morning on the road south of livermore. really folks don't see that every day. >> reporter: that's right, jessica. if you drove around today still a spectacular backdrop to an area that rarely sees snow, and there could be even more snow falling in just a couple of days. scott usually rides 10 to 20 miles a day, but when he saw the snow he had to the think twice. >> it's beautiful. i had to sit in the car for a while and get motivated to go up. but once i got out here, beautiful. >> reporter: it was just a few inch of snow but still enough to generate buzz all around the tri-valley. >> we saw a little bit of snow. but it wasn't enough to actually go play in it. residents who live in the east bay hills were hit with snow, which made it hard to drive. >> kind of annoying. the car still looks kind of cool. what are you going to do right? >> reporter: more rain and cold temperatures this week could bring even more snow. but this time they'll be ready and waiting. >> if it gets heavy on the trail we'll stick to the roads. >> reporter: always good to have a plan in place. i spoke to chp a short while ago. they don't anticipate any snowfall on the freeways, but they are advising drivers to keep an eye out for black ice. >> thank you very much. let's bring in our meteorologist. just confirming it's actually snow. >> it looks so scenic. >> i was driving into work today and found myself focusing on it too much. wild sight across the bay area, and we're in store for even stronger

to a much colder 46. once we hit tomorrow morning, as a lot of you are getting off your commute we'll start to see high cloud cover increase. any kind of rainfall will stay to the north. we don't really think we're going to pick up on any consistent shower activity until we hit the early afternoon hours. so until about 3:00 to 6:00 we could see these showers develop. and by 11:00 p.m. on wednesday we'll see light to moderate rain develop with some of the heaviest rain right now for the thursday morning commute. if you have plans on thursday morning that's where it likely would be at its worst. so the extended forecast shows again storm day on thursday. totals right now 3.25 of an inch on average. we're going to have longer looks of this plus details of the see era snow coming our way and how much we'll get tonight. up next here at 6:00 uninvited from the white house. so how do the warriors spend their day in washington, d.c. today instead of visiting the president at 1600 pennsylvania avenue? approve "climate smart" je. happening now, the san jose city council just voted unanimously to approve its climate smart. it makes san jose one of the first american cities to setout to meet the paris agreement environmental and climate goals. president trump as you know withdrew from the climate agreement. these days -- basketbd politics don )t mix. at least -- not w/ the trump admisitration. well, these days basketball and politics don't mix. at least not with the trump administration. after winning the nba title the warriors hinted as you might recall they were not interested in the customary white house visit. so today in washington, d.c. the warriors hosted some kids at a museum. warrior's guard shawn livingston just posted this photo of the team this afternoon at the museum of african-american history. the warriors took a group of school children in maryland for a private tour. the president trump as you might disinvited the team saying he didn't want the team at the white house as the warriors visited president obama a few years ago. he broke the nhl's color barrier in 1958 when he became the first black man to play on the league with the boston bruins. at 82 now he travels across canada and encouraging all kids. >> you can't go anywhere in the world today without an education. and if anybody tells you you can't they're lying to you.

are now talking about four bill boards outside palm spring. the first one has an adorable baby next to the word greatest. the second billboard, follow along here, says mama. number three on the bill boards of all-time. the final bile board shows the identity of the greatest mama in the world and that's tennis star suvena williams. on twitter her husband said he wanted to welcome her back to the game. >> so he got her four bill boards? >> four in a row to celebrate her mother hood. >> now, that's a baby gift. okay, cars stripped of their wheels all along one block. an area dealing with a rash of car burglaries. plus. >> that was a decision i made that time. >> students on the brink of suicide. so why aren't some schools tracking valuable information that could help safe lives? i'm vicky lynn. we investigate next. hard...but bay area communities. t well, palo alto has been hit hard but so has many other bay areatuants. teenage suicide has impacted so many families. it's such a sensitive topic and in many cases a taboo topic. >> but should it be? we're learning some school districts aren't tracking information that could possibly stop students from taking their own lives. >> ever since the bay area became the epicenter of a national study looking at teen suicides, we wanted to know what can be done to stem the tide of self-harm. it is a matter of life and death. well, we learned there is data schools can use to make a difference, but as our investigation found, many simply don't. >> teenage suicide on -- >> reporter: vulnerable teens have taken their lives. it can be hard to gauge the scope of an epidemic until it's over. but with a streak of teen suedes centered in the silicon valley waiting my cost a life. in the bay area at least 31 teens committed suicide in 2013, and since 2007 the national suicideerate is up 31% for teenage boys and double for girls. >> i wanted to go to sleep and not wake up. >> reporter: gianna came close. >> the day wasn't exactly any different than any other day. >> reporter: her family asked us not to use her last name, but the sophomore wanted to tell her story. >> we don't go to the traditional i guess american high school, where it's the jocks bully the nerds. >> reporter: she says she hit a low point during the summer after freshman year. >> my parents don't talk about their mental issues, and they're stressed as well with their jobs. to them it's like get thick-skinned, do better, get back up. to me i was so low i didn't know if i could get back up. >> you were 14? >> yes, that was a decision i made at the time. >> now a year after her attempted suicide gianna says she's found new purpose, to prevent other teens from making a decision they can't undo. suicide is the second leading cause of death for kids age 10 to 19. >> education is such a big thing in the bay area yet people aren't educated about mental health. >> part of the information that's missing is data on 51 campuses. campus police or mental health clinicians can place that student on a 72-hour involuntary hold in a mental health facility. >> are today's teens at risk for taking their lives? >> absolutely. >> david is a crisis counselor. they had 142 students placed on a hold last year. you think all schools should be tracking this information? >> absolutely. >> reporter: but they aren't. we learned only eight of them know how many times their students have been placed on a psychiatric hold. across those districts it happened 455 times just last year. los angeles, san francisco, and san jose are among the many districts that don't track this information. some people say talking about suicide encourages it. do you agree? >> absolutely not. yeah, that's one of the greatest myths around suicide. what we know is if somebody is talking or thinking or having feelings of suicide and we end up asking them that question, it typically gives them a sense of relief and gives them permission to talk about it. >> reporter: palo alto school district has struggled since 2009. at least nine students took their lives and the city's suicide rate is nearly two times the state average. but we found the district does not track how many students have been placed on 51, 50 hold. at first they said someone would explain it to us and then they stopped returning our calls and e-mails. >> we had not previously tracked in a specific way. >> reporter:trudy gross is the superintendant. school leaders said they decided to start this call. what do you hope to learn by tracking this data? >> we hope to have some information about the frequency. >> reporter: you don't think districts should avoid talking about this issue? >> i don't think so. i think it's part of one of things we need to look at in terms of supporting our students. >> i want schools to start investing in student's happiness. you're not alone. you're not the only one feeling these things. >> reporter: how would you describe where you are today? >> i guess you could say growing. i feel like i'm in a lot better place. >> reporter: we have more information if you or someone you know needs help. there's a hot line number on your screen to call. we are seeing a shift in the way some educators feel about tackling this issue. they say more dialogue means less stigma and more ways for people to get help. >> if you have a story for vicky or anyone in the investigative unit call 888-996-tips. the reres is over and congress is back to work in washington, d.c. and the focus is gun laws in the wake of the florida mass shooting on valentine's day. some students from stoneman douglas high school are also in washington, d.c. hoping to convince lawmakers that their campaign is more than just politics. democrats want to close loopholes. mandating background checks for arms purchased online or gun shows. but most republicans oppose that. >> it's outrageous that so many guns are sold with no background check whatsoever. >> we shouldn't be banning guns for law-abiding citizens. we should be focusing on making sure that citizens who don't get guns in the first place don't get those guns. and also today jared kushner seen here saw his security clearance downgraded. that was the procedure for all white house staff with interim clearances. for kushner this blocks his access to material classified as secret. well, a wake-up call for some people living in a fremont neighborhood. someone jacked up four cars and stole all their wheels. one of our reporters spoke with a couple as a tow truck was taking their car. >> reporter: they bought their tow tru car less than two weeks ago. police were explaining why several cars had been hit. >> they took four-wheels off the car and they're new cars. >> reporter: vas kez expects four new wheels could cost them $3,000. besides their toyota two honda accord sport editions were also left teetering. this one may have been the last because the thief or thieves left the jack. they were tipped to this because someone said there was a resident or man out here making noise. but when they got out here there was nothing where the rubber meet the road. reporting from fremont, park

pacific. this is going to drop down from the north. as we head around thursday not only the rainfall but a cold blast of air that could even bring up some low snow. there's nothing in terms of rainfall showing up at the current moment. as we head through tomorrow morning i do think we'll begin to see some changes in the south bay. 41 degrees, down to chilly 37 in the tri-valley. i think we could have a chance here of a bit of drizzle and start off cold in the north bay at 38. so overall i think we're good here for the morning even into the early afternoon hours. nothing in terms of heavy rainfall for us. the biggest change is going to be the clouds moving on through. that'll put us at 58 here in downtown san jose. not too windy either. 57 in walnut creek, 59 in fremont, 56 in redwood city and a cooler 52 in half moon bay. the coolest among the embarcadero at 51 degrees and 58 for napa. the system is going to begin to get close once we hit tomorrow night. i think around 6:00, 6:30 we'll see some showers start to push through the half bay. by 5:30 in the morning on thursday that's when things will really start to peck up for us. i think on the thursday morning commute that's when we are expecting this heavier rainfall to push through the bay area. but it's going to be a two-day event with this storm system not only on thursday but as we head into friday. overall rain total showing 1 inch for most of the bay area. even down here in san jose and also near an inch for the east bay. close to that for san francisco and oakland. and right here in the north bay we could get close to 1.5 inches from napa into calestoga. on the extended forecast again, thursday is the day with the heaviest rainfall. winds about 15 to 20 miles per hour and hang onto some scattered winds there with low snow. we dry out sunday, monday, and tuesday. we'll have the forecast with daytime highs expected in the 50s. we've been mentioning this year snow. it is going to get dangerous, so please take it slow-up there. we haven't seen conditions like this. this much snow from thursday to saturday for quite some time where we could see a total of maybe 50 inches. it's going to be
