morning commute as we track this stormy pattern across the west coast that's about to transition to a big pattern change ahead developing just off to our west. i'll show you tim pack on the next seven days, coming up when i come right back. nearly a year after a germanwino the french alps... the date nearly a year after a germanwings pilot intentionally crashed a jet into the french alps, the debate now continues about whether or not this tragedy could have been prevented. investigators just released their final report and it claims that red flags were raised about the pilot's mental health, but they never told the airline. nbc's kelly cobiella explains. >> reporter: just two weeks before flying a german wings jet into the french alp, killing everyone on board, french investigators say copilot andreas lubitz was diagnosed with possible psychosis and referred to a psychiatric hospital. on the day of the crash, lubitz was on two antidepressants and sleeping pills, investigators said. his employer was never told. nearly a year after the crash, the final report confirms lubitz purposely brought the plane down. 30 minutes into the flight, captain patrick sondheimer leaves the cockpit to use the bathroom. lubitz locks him out, changing the altitude from 38,000 feet to 100 feet, and increasing the speed. the captain pounds on the door. passengers scream for four minutes. then sounds of five violent blows to the cockpit door. 41 minutes after takeoff, the jet crashes into the side of the mountain at 400 miles an hour. the parents of passenger robert oliver calvo hope this report would explain how a suicidal pilot was allowed to fly. >> almost everybody completely is unsatisfied with the answers that were given. >> reporter: investigators say lubitz hid his condition from his employer, and doctors didn't reveal it, citing patient confidentiality. the final report recommends changing that by requiring doctors to speak out if a pilot's mental health threatens public safety, and requiring pilots to have more mental health checks. tonight germanwings' parent company lufthansa says it will support the recommendation. the airline denies wrongdoing. a criminal investigation could take years. kelly cobiella, nbc news, london. a job controversy is unfolding at south by southwest. ibthaj mohamud says a worker made her remove. he also

retaining wall meant to divert water away from populated areas. this is the first time in four years that water has gone over what has been called the fremont clear. good to see that. also, lake shasta. so many people have been watching its decline. right now it sits at 100% of its historical average. great news as we see these new pictures. it's been three years since the state's largest lake has been full. the historical average for the lake is about 77% full. so we could have a lot more rain before it tops the lake's spillways. right now meteorologist rob mayeda is joining was the microclimate forecast. you've been watching the reservoirs and the lakes and putting together these great graphics. >> we've been looking at some of these graphics. the story across the south bay, the santa clara water district, the district averages 10 reservoirs about 61% of capacity. so places like lexington, well, it's not near 77% full or 99 of historical average. but tonight's gain, 28% of a gain since march. but other reservoirs such as the uvas to the south has gone above 100%. at times today 105%. and some of the releases it's good to help recharge the groundwater system, part of the natural process we have missed out on over the last two years. but you couple that with heavy rain and we did see localized flooding in the areas today. let's wind back in time for darcy nelson weather watcher. november 15th, 2015. and look at it today. quite a difference in just a few month's time. as you can see there. as of today, spilling over at 104 to 105% capacity. as more water feeds into that. we're still seeing showers out there tonight. the levels likely to stay high as we go through the week. right now in san jose, we're seeing showers over towards the tri-valley and back into san francisco and oakland. you can see mainly light, brief times a little moderate rain down around the peninsula. this is what we're going see as we head towards tomorrow morning. even though the pattern is still active, the rain likely to be relatively light. but obviously some wet roadways to contend with tomorrow morning. and the best chance of encountering the rain drops will be south of san francisco, with temperatures tomorrow in the 40s to start. hour-by-hour, we've got scattered showers tonight. and decreasing after we pass the morning commute. so the afternoon commute at this point looks dry. and we should stay dry for quite some time here. the rainfall projections here the next few hours, not much. enough to get the windshield wipers going, but not the few inches of rain we saw over the last couple of days. during the day tomorrow, more sunshine. temperatures starting to come up a little bit after the south bay showers begin to shut down. temperatures in the low 60s around san francisco. north bay and tri-valley. and from there, temperatures begin to rise. the seven-day forecast shows the jet stream is going to go away for a while that was the conveyor belt of all the storms of the last 12 to 13 days. high pressure returning. so check out the temperatures here as we head towards the middle part of the week. the north bay starting to spring forward. the temperatures, we're going to see highs in the mid-70s from wednesday into thursday. san francisco too by the time we get to wednesday and thursday could see numbers in the low 70s. peninsula temperatures low to mid-70s as we head towards wednesday and thursday for the east bay and tri-valley and san jose areas, south of downtown could have a chance at some upper 70s by wednesday and thursday. so this is a nice little break after almost 175% of the monthly average of rainfall came down for parts of the bay area in just the last few days. as we take a look at the pattern as we head towards next weekend, stay tuned. if you're looking for the next chance of rain other than the showers we'll see tomorrow morning, right now it looks like we'll begin to see the return of perhaps a wet pattern as we head towards next weekend. coming up in the next half hour, we'll take a closer look at the next perhaps series of storms. and just how far we've come in terms of the monthly rainfall averages from the 12 to 13 days of rain. peggy, back to you. >> the march miracle after a very dry february. thank you so much, rob. a flooding emergency unfolding in the south. a look at the

300 new health complaints. some say they have severe headaches. others say they're getting horrible rashes on their bodies. these health concerns are similar to ones that were reported months ago when

revealed the contractor cleaning up this site admitted to mishandling radiation tests and also falsifying data. a former worker explains how that all happened in an exclusive interview. very investigative reporter vicky nguyen has the story. >> over here and in here. pretty much anywhere right here it was done illegally. >> reporter: when anthony smith left hunters point four years ago, he carried a secret with him, a secret involving radiation. deception, and a government contractor, a secret he has kept until now. you relieved to speak out about it? >> yes, i am. it still bothers me. i don't like being rear horizon smith says what he witnessed and what he did calls into questions claims the former superfund site is clean and safe. for decades, the navy ran radiation experiments on hunters point. then the government decided to repurpose the land for homes, shops, and parks. it awarded $300 million in cleanup contracts to a company called tetratech. as a radiation control technician, smith tested soil for radioactive contamination. he left his georgia home in 2002 and worked on and off at hunters point for a decade. at first he took pride in his work. >> a lot of samples being switched. >> as part of his job, smith collected soil samples from areas that may have been contaminated. he said supervisors began instructing him to get rid of hundreds of those samples and replace them from soil from areas that had already been cleaned. >> i didn't like it. because it was not right. it's not the way it's supposed to be done. >> reporter: how serious of a problem is this? >> very serious. the dirt is still there, still dirty. >> reporter: by dirty? >> still contaminated. >> with the radiation? >> yep. >> reporter: smith says he collected samples under this building. >> right over there is where we accessed under that crawl space. >> reporter: he recalls one sample tested positive for radium, an element linked to bone cancer. >> when i took a sample, it come back hot. and they made me get rid of it. >> so when you get a sample and it cops back hot, what does that mean? >> it means there is supposed to be more remediation going on, and they didn't do so. >> reporter: smith isn't the only one questioning the cleanup. we have learned the state health department ordered the building to be retested in december. the state says no contamination was found. who did the testing? tetra tech. >> yeah, there ought to be some legal action against them. >> reporter: smith claims it was faster and cheaper to pass the soil off as clean when it may not have been. smith says his bosses directed him to dump contaminated soil into open trenches, trenches now covered or paved. is there any way of knowing what the contamination levels are in those areas? >> no, ma'am. not until they run at their lab there is no way. >> reporter: smith says tetra tech fabricated documents, including chain of custody forms. they're supposed to certify soil samples stayed under his control. but he says sometimes his bosses filled them out. >> i never got to see them until the end of the day. and then all i done was sign my name and put the date. >> reporter: smith says he also watched tetra tech supervisors tamper with computer data that analyzed radiation levels. >> and they could change the numbers like it was reading high, 10,000, your background is 6,000. they would take that 10,000 and knock it down to 5500, 5800, 5900. >> reporter: would you consider that fraud? >> yeah, it's fraud. >> reporter: what was the response when you raised your concerns? >> if you don't like what we're doing, you can go home. >> reporter: smith needed the job so, he stuck it out until 2012 when his contract expired. he put hunters point behind him until the investigative unit contacted him about this. it's an internal tetra tech report. in it the company admits to the mishandling of soil samples and submitting falsified date to the navy. tetra tech blamed four sample collectors on the chain of custody form including smith. you were the scapegoat? >> yeah. blaming me for something he was telling me to do every day. >> reporter: in a series of investigations starting in 2013, nbc bay area revealed how former tetra tech employees and the state health department raised concerns about the company's work. but tetra tech has avoided multiple interview requests. hi, my name is vicky. i'm a report were nbc bay area. we're looking for the supervisor on-site for tetra tech. >> that's me, and i'm i am not allowed to talk to anybody. >> reporter: is there anyone who can talk about the radiation cleanup and what -- to reassure the public that this cleanup is safe? >> i am not allowed to talk to the press. everything has to go to the navy. >> reporter: but the navy has also declined our interview requests. according to its report, the company disciplined two supervisors and conducted ethical training. tetra tech says it remediated the suspect areas. but smith believes the company failed to identify or retest other questionable locations. >> when you're doing something, do it right. >> reporter: he worries the health of those who will work, play, and live at hunters point may be at stake for years to come. do you trust the cleanup that is happening at hunters point? >> no. not what i seen, no. >> that was vicky nguyen reporting. the navy awarded tetra tech $10 million in contracts after it caught the company falsifying data. but the navy says it hired another contractor to provide quality control. just last month, the nuclear regulatory commission found tetra tech may have violated a federal requirement. the nrc is now considering action. smith says he is he has never been contacted and said he will tell investigators exactly what he told us. if you have a tip, you can send about e-mail to the unit at nbcbayarea.com. now let's hand it over to fallon smith, who is joining us from comcast sportsnet.

things will work out. >> reporter: so how do you get these drivers to practice zen? >> you know, you just got to stop and make them take a deep breath. >> move forward. >> reporter: a deep breath and a sigh of relief for many drivers as they head quickly on their way. >> i'm very lucky to have him to help me. >> reporter: he was very calm. did he keep you relaxed? >> yes, yes. he give me good instructions. >> reporter: at the summit, caltrans reports several feet of fresh new powder today. >> it's like putting together the mousetrap. >> reporter: and for chain installers making $30 per car, the extra snow has been a march miracle for the pocketbook there. >> is a ton of people going through. >> so all this white coming down, that's green for you? >> that's why golf course is green, isn't it? it works out pretty good. a nice winter after a couple of years of drought. it's great. >> reporter: it's also great news for grateful travelers like janet, who is on her way to reno. >> thank god there is somebody up here to put them on. >> reporter: and you need all the help you can get when your weekend in the snow is on the line. >> i didn't think it was going to be this weather. i was watching the weather channel. but i thought we'd make it. it's okay, though. the guy was great. helped us out. >> very nice. very patient man that is helpful. meteorologist rob mayeda is here with that microclimate forecast. sometimes you don't need chains. but if you do, that guy is a sight for sore eyes. >> those are the type of conditions you've seen under a winter storm warning. tomorrow morning more snow. avalanche control is taking place around the tahoe basin into about 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. so if you have travel, hold off until the afternoon, you should see improving conditions on the roadways. rainfall totals very impressive. not just for the north bay, which we knew was going to get a lot of rain. you can see around mt. diablo and the santa cruz mountains pretty uniform. almost 5 to 7 inches of mountaintop rain. that's going feed into our reservoir system the next couple days. you can see around the bay area about 3 inches in san francisco. mill valley, close to that. the basketball almost 4 inches of rain. and even san jose. a strong rain shadows still getting 3/4 of an inch of rain. in fremont more than an inch and a half. and moving forward into tomorrow morning, not a lot more. just enough to wet the ground. and probably get the windshield wipers going for brief moments of time for your morning commute. by the afternoon, we should see things begin to dry out. the radar still picking up scattered showers. mainly for areas around the santa cruz mountains. up towards the east bay hills. and near san jose. still some showers at times. and many of the same areas will still see the showers ongoing. it says the jet stream begins to lift to the north during the day tomorrow that will begin to see the showers shut down. so a little more rain to get through between now and lunchtime tomorrow. then as we move into the afternoon, you'll notice that things begin to dry out, a little breezy at times. setting the stage for a dryer forecast for the afternoon. highs in the low to mid-60s around san jose. still cool around the coast. upper 50s to low 60s tomorrow. to the north bay, low 60s in santa rosa and the tri-valley. from there we'll see high pressure build in, which means the jet stream supplying all the moisture over the bay area begins to move to the north. as high pressure builds in, highs in the mid-70s as early as wednesday. san francisco should see temperatures close to low 70s. oakland, tri-valley and areas south of san jose, mid- to upper 70s this week. now next weekend, we do have a chance of a little more rain coming in. as the high really never gets out of here. but again, weakens the systems just enough that we will see a chance of some rain at times. especially i think for the north bay. a little bit of a cooldown as we head towards next weekend as the rain chances begin to return again. but what is kind of interesting, as we look over the next seven days, we just saw a futurecast that had 4, 5 and 6 inches of rain. that's through the next seven days. you can see all the bay area, and a lot is coming down into tomorrow morning. not much expected between now and the 21st of the month. so as we add things up, 13 days into march, you can see what you normally should get in white. and then the numbers we have in green. what we have seen so far for the month. if you add it all up so far, the other half of the month still to go, 125% to 173% of average. an incredible march which isn't over yet. we should see a little more rain come next weekend. back to you. >> very nice.

the peninsula and the south bay hills and around san francisco too. it's going to keep the rain i think going into the morning, maybe through about midday. right now you've got scattered showers or some heavy drizzle in a few spots. 40s to start the morning. as we head towards the afternoon, we'll begin to see the showers shut down. only around the santa cruz mountains. maybe down east of mt. hamilton. may see a stray shower for the afternoon. that's going to be it. we spring forward to the temperatures. the middle part of the week, the temperatures begin to climb. mid 70s in reach for all locations. even san francisco could get close to 70 many the middle part of the week. next chance of seeing rain approach next weekend. not 4 to 6 inches, but matter a quarter inch with the system
