It happened so fast. It lit up big time. It was very scary. Reporter the tenant confirmed the device looked like a molotov cocktail but thought the attack was random because of other arson incidents. They confirmed it has reported numerous other arson acts but says this is a significant escalation. Its frightening because its more than just randomly tossing out a cigarette or it shows conscious thought and planning on my part to burn a house down or send a message. Reporter within an hour of that firebombing, another family called the Fire Department after they say someone set fire to dry brush at a creek next to their house. The homeowner also asked us not to show her face. It has been an ongoing and increasingly worse problem. Reporter now the san jose Fire Department says its arson unit is actively investigating this attack and wants anyone with information or more video to come forward. Live in san jose, robert handa, nbc bay area news. Robert, thank you. The search is on for the d
About one mile visibility but a drop in novato and some patchy fog. Be careful if you are headed out with current temperatures showing a few spots in the 30s. Napa, they are dealing with fog and it is tough to warm up with 30s going on and 40s in berkeley and 50 in San Francisco. A quick look at the stormtracker with low clouds and we will see things get sunny and bright today with calm wind and looking pretty good. Looking at the forecast, 60 degrees at the coast and low 70s as we get inland. Talking about the extended forecast, we will talk about that in a bit. For now, over to sal. The commute has traffic moving along okay if you are driving on 80 westbound from crockett to hercules. No major problems on the benicia bridge heading to concord and the commute looks good toward the macarthur maze with a look at the Richmond Bridge having traffic off to a good start. 5 01 and back to the desk. Production is ramping up in San Francisco on the side of matrix 4 with crowds gathering over t
Cross much of the bay area. Ill let you know if there is any chance of rain in the forecast coming up. But mike saw a backup in san jose. I did. You showed 101 through palo alto and the peninsula. 101 was showing brake lights tapping toward allen rock and the concern is there is a disabled vehicle past 880 north toward the airport but the lanes should be cleared and weve sorted out the brake lights to back to your normal pattern we think. Southbound there may be a distraction at blossom hill offramp. This was an overnight crash and im watching that traffic flow but no lanes are reported blocked. Rest of the bay is fine. A backup at the bay bridge and well talk about b. A. R. T. Coming up. Back to you. Thanks, mike. You remember the two missing palo alto hikers. Many people believed they were dead. They are very much alive this morning and continuing to recover. This is after being rescued over the weekend in marin. Today in the bays pete suratos is outside of the hospital. And do we ha
Been there and clear out as we go into the afternoon. A little sunshine is coming your way and wed love to see some rain. Were not going to see that today or the rest of this workweek. Highs today will be 60s at the coast, mid60s around the bay and low 70s as we head inland. Well talk about the possibility of rain when i come back, but for now well talk about the possibility of getting to work on time and head to sal. How is it looking . It looks okay, kyla. So far, see good on most of these commutes. I have a problem ill tell you about right now. The approach to the bay bridge looks okay. 31minute drive from the carquinez bridge to the maze, another 20 here at the bay bridge toll plaza and the commutes are mostly normal as you drive through the bay, including the south lake, except for the Santa Cruz Mountains. Well tell you why getting from Scotts Valley to the other side of the summit is going to be a big slow down. 7 01 lets go to the deck. There are no classes at a high school in
Weathers not going to be changing. Its going to be nice outside. Unfortunately, no rain to speak of but we have some pretty big breaking news coming to us this morning from new york. Lets start there. Breaking news at the jury in new york has just convicted the disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein in a Sexual Assault trial in new york. Well bring in Frank Mallicoat live in the newsroom to bring us all the news, frank. Good morning. Just coming down in the last half hour, weinsteins conviction solidified his dizzying fall from hollywood studios. The verdict followed weeks of harrowing and graphic testimony from a string of accusers who told their stories of abuse.
