campaigns, it has now surpassed the $1 billion mark. the a's, warriors and raiders, their pledge of matching gifts attracted more than 3,300 people toxfh9 donate $504,000. even more contributions to the gray area foundation for the arts. that san francisco nonprofit has now received donations from more than 10,000 people, totalling more than $577,000. its founder told me she's bringing in experts from the red cross to make sure those with ledge mal needs receive the money. there are many more personal pleas appearing online. and charity watchdogs remind us, the mass casualties obvious times attract thieves who prey on well-meaning donorses like you. here's how we believe you can give with confidence. ask questions. and if you don't get answers hold off. and ideally make a personal connection. give to a person or organization you already know. be careful. janelle, back to you. >> thanks so much, chris.

now, a few pockets of heavy rain. i want to show you the futurecast, next. and you can see at 7:30 tonight, we may get a spotty shower developing throughout the bay area. but we'll really have to hold off until 11:30 tonight. that's not going to be the heaviest of it. it looks like by 5:00 in the morning, the cold front will drive across and that's when the rainfall intensity will be picking up here across the bay area. we, of course, are going to run this rain time line out all the way through the forecast. i'll have more at 5: 19 tonight. let show you a storm ranger before we leave right now. again, in case you haven't heard, our mobile doppler radar on wheels. you can hash tag us and talk about it at storm ranger@nbc bay area. and there you can see that doppler radar on the back of the vehicle. i'll have more, again, in less than a half hour. >> okay. one of few in the country using this technology. thank you, jeff. tracking the rain is pretty easy. just swiping your phone right there on our app. nbc bay area app connects to our

back the roadway and trying to fill it back in as they fix the street. third and howard street in san francisco do get congested. today traffic came to a crawl. samuel gonzalez is stuck, trying to get his family home to fresno. >> took an hour. >> reporter: you've been trying to leave san francisco for an hour. >> yes. it's really bad. and the kids are hungry and crying. are we there yet? no. >> reporter: a 12-inch water main broke at fourth and howard overnight, briefly disrupting service to two buildings. this water spilled into the garage near mess coney center and the central subway project. the pipe dates back to 1895, one of many old pipes. >> the puc has undertaken an aggressive goal of repairing or replacing about 15 miles of pipe per year. although clearly we haven't caught up with all of the vulnerable ones. >> reporter: she says in fiscal year 2013, they replaced six miles of pipe.

nine in 2014, 12 in 2015 and 15 in 2016. there have been 5 3 water main failures in the first six months of this year and most occur in january. many frustrated drivers never came near the intersection or knew of the water main break. they just waited. >> it's been hectic for a while. i've been sitting in it for probably 30 minutes now. just got out of the garage. >> i've been probably half an hour for four blocks. >> reporter: now we have a look from above from our chopper. i asked the spokesperson out here, what is the best advice for drivers trying to get home. and he said, you jusù0v@u avoid the area while these repairs are under way. at this point, late in the afternoon, they did open up two lanes so you can make the right turn here on howard street. but, again, it is backed up. they do say that one good thing in all of this, there are quite a few water lines running under near, and that's why there

really wasn't a big impact to service. but, again, at this point, they're saying that the work will continue late tonight. reporting live in san francisco, christie smith, nbc bay area news. >> a lot of digging going on at that intersection. thanks, christie. over the past year-and-a-half, our investigative unit has been looking into san francisco's aging pipeline problems. now if you would like to see all of our previous reports, you can just click on our investigative unit icon on our website, nbcbayarea.com. one of the two inmates who escaped from the santa clara county jail was back in court today. we brought you this story on thanksgiving day, part of our breaking news coverage. chavez, seen here, was scheduled to enter a plea, but that was pushed back to his next appearance. laron campbell, as well as chavez -- laron campbell pled no test. and chavez and campbell are accused of sawing through the bars of a second-floor jail window and lowering themselves to the ground, using sheets tied together. both were captured several days later. chavez was originally booked

immigration office in cupertino. >> he was sharp. he seemed very honest. but then you never know. i feel sorry for him. that's the honest truth. i didn't know he was going to turn out that way. >> reporter: but last month, sheriff's investigators arrested lopez, a disbarred attorney, for operating his immigration business without state approval. officers seized records for about 1,000 clients, and said lopez was providing improper service, forging documents, and charging up to $1,200 for services that are normally free. investigators say after the nbc bay area report ran, they were surprised by the public response. >> a little more than what we expected. we have had over 30 calls that we're filtering. there are still some calls that we have got to get back to. we have spoken with some new victims that had dealt -- have

done business with this individual. >> we had three kids here. and 10, 13 and 15. and without her, i cannot manage the house. >> reporter: now, mr. lopez did not return our calls. he faces several felony charges, including forgery, grand theft and practicing without a license. and, again, investigators are now going through the files to see what kind of damage has been done. live in san jose, robert handa, nbc bay area news. >> thanks, robert. he was on homeland security's most wanted list and he's an accused child predator from the bay area. tonight this man is behind bars. police caught kevin tras. he gave police a fake name. when pressed he admitted his real name and told police he was on the run. investigators started looking for him in 2012 and he allegedly downloaded child porn. a high-profile bay area ceo is pledging big-time money as part of a $30 million pledge

thank you, michelle. let's get a check of our forecast with jeff á0sranieri. >> it's off to the north, you guys. as that storm system gets closer, we expect that rainfall intensity to pick up all across the bay area. we have storm ranger out right now, and here you can see it's all lit up. we have the doppler radar hoisted up about 20 feet on the back as that continues to scan the atmosphere getting us the latest on what's happening. as we get you back to the storm ranger doppler scan, what you'll be able to see is not much happening right now as we have the clouds overhead. currently 61 degrees at our live location, and temperatures dropping into the 50s tonight with increasing chances of rain throughout 8, 9 and also 10:00. so let's go ahead and take a look at what we're getting right now. and you'll see some of the data is showing some spotty showers just offshore. right where storm ranger is located. we've had some drizzle on and off. but nothing in terms of widespread rainfall at the current moment. we need to look way off to the north before we start to see any kind of measurable rainfall.

you can see it's a wide shield of wet weather, moderate rainfall with a few heavier pockets. eventually that's going to push down across the bay area. so what i want to show you next is the futurecast. you can see by 7:30 tonight, a hit and miss shower. once we hit 11:30 at night, wet weather develops ahead of the front. i think this is overdoing it a little bit but you get the general idea. the chance of scattered rain by 11:30 tonight. once we hit 5:00 in the morning, things pick up in intensity across the area as the cold front moves across. so the north bay on track to get that rainfall first. and as that cold front arrives, for tomorrow morning, it will be chilly to start. 47 in the south bay. 42 for the tri valley. for the east bay, 46 degrees. and san francisco begins at 47. let's switch it back to the futurecast, and we'll run this out through your saturday forecast. and, again, wet weather to start first for the north bay. then this starts to push down to the south here. east by and peninsula by 9:00 in

the morning. and then by the noon hour, we should have at least something down here for the south bay at this point. totals on average, about a quarter to a half inch. maybe some higher amounts up into the north bay. we'll start to see things beginning to push on out by 7:30 tomorrow night. in terms of that microclimate forecast, no matterj@: where yoe going, temperatures very similar. tomorrow, 59 in morgan hill. 60 in san jose. the east bay, 6 it in concord. throughout the peninsula, anywhere from 58 in daly city to 61 in palo alto. san francisco, also cool 50s across the board. and right up into the north bay, 55 in mill valley with our warmest temperature in napa at 62. this wet weather tomorrow does mean snow in the sierra. anywhere from 2 inches in kingville to maybe 13 inches in kirkwood. on the extended forecast, again, rainfall tomorrow morning arrives. sunday is dry, a spotty shower

next tuesday. the day i'm watching out for is next friday in the forecast. that's when we could have some heavier rain and also wind returning. and you'll see it's pretty much the same here for the interior valleys with these cool 50s. mostly here throughout the next seven-day forecast. >> okay, jeff. good update. thank you so much. still to come, have you been hanging on to your galaxy note 7? a good reason why you should turn it in now.

as for the niners, 11 straight losses after their equally embarrassing 26-6 set back in chicago. the offense showing signs of progress completely inadequate. >> sunday was a step backwards. we have to get back on track this week. we have to put that work in, make sure everybody is prepared, the mind-set is right. and once again, move on to new york. >> the red and gold spotlight brought to you on nbc bay area by the x 1 entertainment operating system only from xfinity. tonight -- tracking the incoming happening now, jeff ranieri was just mentioning our storm ranger. it's in san bruno, tracking incoming rain. you can keep track of what the storm ranger is doing on our facebook page. and trending on our twitter feed, president-elect donald trump is at a thank you rally in

michigan this evening, one of many rallies he's planned for his victory tour. inauguration day is january 20th. stadium

it's official. the oakland city council will vote on a new stadium proposal next tuesday. the proposal was submitted by ronny lot. a couple weeks ago, lott revealed to us the details about his plan. but late today, additional elements of this deal were revealed.

not just a new privately funded stadium for the raiders, but the deal also calls for a grand central style b.a.r.t. station at the coliseum. and this deal saves room for the a's right there at the coliseum complex if the a's want to build a new baseball park. but here's the bottom line. the proposal passes next j"ñwee lott and his investment group will present it to the nfl in january. oakland and las vegas are the leading options for the raiders. the raiders, by the way, in their owner, you see here, mark davis, has not yet commented on the lott proposal. samsung plans to end the galaxy note 7 with one final update coming out on december 19th. the update blocks the smartphone from recharging, effectively killing it. phones are recalled back in september to october after several reports of batteries exploding and catching on fire. most phones were returned but more than 100,000 unaccounted for. sprint says it won't roll out its update until january. we'll be right back.
