an outsiders point of view, we're obama fans. >> president obama told supporters that this upcoming election is important because the republican party is not rational and well functioning. president

democrats are trying to play nice while campaigning in new york. when asked whether hillary clinton thought sanders was qualified she answered yes and said she would take him over any of the

downloaded. stanford e-mailed employees staying 3500 w-2 forms were downloaded through a third party ve vender. 600 were downloaded illegalille. hackers needed social security numbers and their dates of birth in order to do this. >> and were able to convince the system they were the actual employee. and now you can see how vulnerable we really are. >> stanford alum is the author of "swiped." he says this was not a breach. >> an institution can do everything right and somebody somewhere clicks on the wrong link at the wrong moment. >> one problem is oversharing on social media filling out seemingly harmless information like your favorite color or street you grew up on. >> one of the ways to protect yourself. no one is going to be conducting a background investigation to determine whether or not that's your mother's real maiden name. >> peggy bunker, nbc bay area news. >> many people will only find out their tax data has been compromised if they are blocked from filing their

did the first one a few months ago putting it on barges that will carry it to the port of oakland for dismantling. meanwhile environmentalists will be watching birds. state protected birds rest in the old bridge and they spent millions of dollars to entice them to nest in the new bridge. 200 of the birds didn't budge. now workers have to move as many of them as possible. >> it's a pretty basic principle. if your old home is still there, why would you leave it if you're comfortable. >> the bridge remains open. the bike path is closed from the oakland side. it's 7:18. let's check in with anthony slaughter with a look at our weekend forecast. i've been working a lot out there. i got you covered in the weather department. let's talk about this weather. you may be a little groggy. that's what we're looking outside. showers coming down in some pretty heavy spots. coming in from concorde. over near 680 through the delta as you head over to san francisco we're seeing light showers. 101 into the north bay light showers. but the south bay is seeing a few peeks of sunshine and a little bit of sprinkles across parts of the foothills. temperatures in the 50s in the entire bay. 57 in san

the best chance of seeing any widespread rain through the day. the south bay you'll see some sunshine after about noon we'll start to see the rain taper off for the south bay. now take a look at the big picture. we have a big area of low pressure spinning across the specif pacific. it's going to bring in the moisture. and that rain has been falling since last night in parts of the bay area. a lot of it hanging out in the central valley. we'll see showers taper off. look at the east bay and south bay. drying out this afternoon. we'll still stay cloudy once we dry out. then tomorrow as the

east bay you'll have a better chance for seeing showers into the afternoon and evening hours. 7:00 in the evening tomorrow still dealing with rain in parts of the south bay and the east bay. so here's a look at how much rain we can expect. about half of an inch or more across parts of the east bay and trivalley. over near the south bay. heading to san francisco, close to an inch as well. the north bay will pick upmost of the rain today but tomorrow the u south bay is expected to see more of the showers. snows headed our way. we're expecting 3 to 6 inches of new snow above 5,000 feet. but again,

sunshine for monday and tuesday. then here comes the next storm system by wednesday. that's going to move in wednesday morning. pushing out of here by thursday and next weekend another storm system starts to approach the bay area for saturday and sunday. so we're not done just yet with this wet pattern. you'll notice the five-day forecast paints pictures of rain guy skies. i can't rule out a stray shower for monday as the system pulls out. tuesday night and wednesday, more rain pushes back to the bay area. don't put the umbrellas away yet. >> thank you. we have much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up, we'll tell you about the plan to save a popular gathering place in san francisco that's in danger of crumbling into the bay. on nbc: san francisco's waterfront has been a gathering

alarm. >> it's just not safe. we can't manage different closure areas. >> i don't like to see something wasted. >> walker started a petition on change.org calling for emergency federal dollars to restore the pier. >> this would be completely lost. >> what's not lost is hopes the pier can be saved before it ends up on the wrong end of history. much more ahead. coming up, is it a case of officer brutality or just a deputy doing his job. the body camera video of a confrontation just release d by the sheriffs department. plus police uncover more evidence of a dental assistant accused of

hard to top last night's game. the season is just a week old. just when it looked like it wasn't the giant's night, things turned around quickly and it was a game you're only able to see on nbc bay area. the starting pitcher took a no-hitter into the eighth inning but was pulled because of a high pitch count. san francisco pounced. they were down 2-0 with one man on base. the giants get their first hit by key trevor brown. he tied the game with a two-run homer and this goes into extras. the bottom of the tenth, everyone is sent home and out of the rain. giants win in dramatic fashion, 3-2.

three of the series and it's a marquee matchup. baumgartner against clayton kershaw. first pitch at 1:05. one guy who won't be there is clay thompson and he's not too thrilled about that. while clay is in memphis for today's game against the grizzlies, his brother trace is there as a member of the dodgers. he took in thursday night's game but because the warriors are in memphis and then san antonio this weekend clay won't be able to watch his brother play in person. >> awful timing. couldn't be worse timing. ill i'll be watching from memphis. a lot of my buddies will be in the crowd. a lot of family. but i know, trust me, it hurts. terrible timing. >> today's warriors game against the grizzlies tips off at 5:00 p.m. much more ahead. coming up, getting paid to get some z's. how one company is making sure they have well rested employees. >> maybe start the news a little later? let's talk about the forecast. you can see we're looking at 60s and rain. gray skies across the bay area. we have a full forecast, coming up right after this break. we have some rain falling out here this morning. you can see some heavy rain across the central valley. right now the heaviest across the bay area is right across the central delta area headed towards yok and brentwood and concorde as well. even oakland will see that momentarily. a lot of this is going to stay concentrated across the east bay and north bay today. tomorrow it will shift a little south. the east bay will see it tomorrow as well. today it's going to be mostly cloudy in the south bay. 58 degrees right now. peninsula same deal. san francisco dealing with some rain. on and off rain for the north bay. san francisco and the east bay for today. the peninsula will see showers taper off before noon. so if you're headed to the giants game, it doesn't look like it will be dry, but you can see the heavy rain is focused mostly across the central valley. that's going to rotate around that area of low pressure across the pacific. eventually as it moves on shore for tomorrow, we'll continue with this pattern o of heavier rain. this is 4:00 in the afternoon. most of the bay will have dried out by then. we're still talking about mostly cloudy skies into the afternoon. tomorrow morning, 7:00, look at the futurecast number right there. you'll notice we're talking about rain for the east bay. even the peninsula. it will spread out by tomorrow afternoon. we'll still hang on to some showers by the evening hours tomorrow for the east bay and south bay. if you're trying to make plans, it looks like it's going to be one of those you will probably have to head to san francisco or trying to stay inside and enjoy that. we're talking about rain. it's going to be on and off. indoor activity is a good idea. you'll notice the rainfall amounts from another quarter inch to half an inch. maybe just maybe some of the heavier downpours could squeeze out an inch in napa. but that would be for today. we have some snow expected as well. not huge amounts, but if you're traveling that way, keep in mind you can run into some snow. anywhere from 3 to 6 inches of snow is expected at lake level. but not a huge storm system there. as i mention ed if you're heade to the giants game, it will dry out after first pitch. may see a few peeks of sunshine by the seventh inning. rain is expected towards the end of the game as we wrap up the end of the game. it went into overtime last night. they may have the same deal tonight with showers possible. this system is going to continue to scoot out of here for the weekend. another system moves in just in time for midweek. so wednesday, thursday, another system will bring some more rain to the bay area. it's going to keep our temperatures cool as well. then next weekend we can see more showers. the extended forecast keeps rain in the picture. still hanging on to some rain. showers expected today and tomorrow. tuesday and then more rain expected by wednesday. back over to you. >> we have been warned, thanks. much more ahead. what goes up must come down. history made as a rocket is launched sbo and out of space. he's had a good two weeks. last
