Three people come running around the corner and just came to my car, all three of them trying to get in, one got in the back seat, one was trying to get in the drivers seat with a gun pointing it at me and i just kept whacking at the barrel and not letting him, he kept trying to open my door, he finally opened it, tried to yank me out and i kept fighting him the whole time. Finally i got back into the car because he almost had me out, i jumped back in and started to make the turn and i realize there was a person still in my car and i just told him, get out. Reporter when that uber driver got away he found police at a different unrelated scene, he reported the crime and then an sfpd captain told us they got two more reports of attempted kidnappings in the same half hour, all involving three suspects, one with a gun. A woman said suspects broke the window of her car but she screamed and the suspects ran away, that was on 9th near fulsome, she was injured by the broken glass and went to the hospital, she is going to be okay. A third driver reported another attempted carjacking in the area of mission duboce a little farther away. Service told nbc bay area that they are investigating these as connected based on those suspect descriptions, based on the fact they all were brandishing a handgun and happened in the same time and around the same place.

It has been really a beautiful week out there. Kari, we have been talking about the concern that we have that we dont get think rain. We havent had any rain all month long. This may go down in the record books as one of the driest februarys we have had and this goes back to the 1800s. So here is a live look outside in San Francisco, looking at a hazy shot there, but feeling much nicer as you get ready to head out for lunch. Looking at the records here, we havent had a february this dry in San Francisco since 1864 and that was also a leap year, looking at some of the other numbers in 1953 we measured only 0. 04 of an inch and about a 0. 10 of an inch of rain in february of 1899. Now as we look at whats going on we are seeing a drought developing especially in the central areas. Areas shaded in this tan color show moderate drought right now. We do have abnormally dry conditions for the bay area as weve seen a lack of rain throughout much of this year. And in santa rosa we need over 9 inches of rain to catch up to normal for the water year and san jose needs over 6 inches of rain to catch up to normal. So as this continues weve also seen our sierra snow pack melting and now were only at about 50 of normal as we look at where we should be for the amount of snow that weve seen in the sierra. And so as we see these numbers dwindle down we say, okay, well, where are the storms . Well, we are seeing a very weak system moving in, you can see the swerls of clouds and that will bring us more clouds into the day tomorrow, may even bring some spotty light showers near the coast. Looking at the jet stream and where its been pretty much all winter long just to our north. It has brought Copious Amounts of rain for parts of the pacific northwest. Looking at seattle where we had about almost 8 inches of rain since january 1st but compare that to san jose where we had less than an inch of rain for the year. So those are thing were really watching very closely. Now, there is some rain to be found, but its just been missing us and this next chance of rain will stay just to our south. So if youre traveling to Southern California this weekend, there will be some off and on showers and then the next series of storms there stay to the north of us going into next week. Here is our sevenday forecast looking pretty dry here. Temperatures reaching into the low 70s in the inland areas, sunday looking bright and sunny and mid 70s next week, still not seeing any rain coming down the pike for us and we may once again wrap up the month without any rain here. So were hoping that the slight rain chances we do sebring us at least a little bit of something, but no significant storms on the horizon. Laura and marcus. Really can use it. Enjoy it while we have it. Coming up for you the bay area has a new multimillionaire this morning but its not a tech ceo. We will show you the store that sold a 7 million lottery ticket.
