a lot of shoppers, including us. this is today in the bay thanks so much for joining us on this monday morning. i'm kris sanchez and i'm laura garcia. hope you had a great weekend. and what are we in store for weather wise? we got a little mix of everything over the weekend. it was crazy on saturday, saturday. i mean it started out mild, then it started raining, then the temperature dropped and we are now still feeling that cold air behind that system that came in and brought us all of that rainfall. it is now 40 degrees. that's one of the colder temperatures we're seeing in santa rosa, as well as in san martin. starting out with the chilly morning. and we're in the low 40s in dublin, upper 40s for san jose and 49 now in san mateo, in menlo, menlo park, we're at 45 degrees. and look at the trend we'll see over the next few hours, going from mid 40s to upper 50s and then eventually into the low 60s for today, with a mostly sunny sky and a lot of the numbers that

we'll see today still slightly cooler than normal, but we are going to warm up quickly as we go throughout the week, so we'll talk about that in a few minutes. mike, do you still have delays through pleasanton? we do carry, but typically this time of day we would start to see the delays. we're actually starting to see a lot of improvement as the commute is building. so we're going to probably hold similar flow for the next hour or so. we're looking at south 680 slowing right around bernal. the earlier crash and debris have cleared from the roadway, but there's still activity in the area. so watch for the distraction. now we're looking at the slower drive down in towards sunol and pleasanton. in that portion of 680. a little build. there's a disabled vehicle just off the castro valley y. but we see that slowing just starting for southbound 880 past the san mateo and then down toward the dumbarton bridges, which moves smoothly across the bay peninsula side just fine. the south bay shows your typical pattern kind of easing into the next slowdown, which will happen at about 640 typically. and then the bay bridge has had the backup typical since about 540. we've seen the build but still pretty loose as far as the

volume of traffic and the pack here at the toll plaza. back to you. thank you. mike. new overnight israeli defense forces were telling an estimated 100,000 civilians to move from eastern rafah into what israel says is an expanded humanitarian area. what you're looking at on your screen are the fliers that were dropped in the city by the idf issuing that warning? israel says the evacuation is limited and temporary. brie their words, it comes ahead of an expected ground assault on the southern gaza city. more than 1.4 million civilians are sheltering in rafah. israel says there's no timeline for that expected invasion. cia director bill burns is in israel today. it's part of the biden administration's push to broker a cease fire and hostage deal between israel and hamas. today in the bay's brie jackson joins us live from washington. brie where do the negotiations stand now? good morning. laura. chris. so the latest round of negotiations ended without a deal. hamas is calling for an

end to the war. while israeli officials claim hamas is not serious about reaching a truce. as hopes of a cease fire in the israel-hamas war fade, fears of famine in gaza grow. the head of the world food program issuing this dire warning. it's horror. it's, you know, it's so hard to look at and it's so hard to hear also. so, i'm just i'm, i'm so hoping that we can get a cease fire and begin to feed these people. today, israel defense forces urged civilians in eastern rafah to move toward humanitarian areas as israeli officials signal military actions could soon begin in rafah and the gaza strip. cia director william burns is headed to israel for continued cease fire and hostage release negotiations. some lawmakers blame hamas for the ongoing

crisis on the ground, which is 100% the fault of hamas. just like every civilian casualty in gaza is 100% the fault of hamas. the only way to have permanent peace, economic development and the provision of basic services in the gaza strip is for hamas to be excluded from political governance going forward, as the fighting continues, so do anti-war protests. some of these protesters have become very violent and students, especially jewish students, have the right to feel safe on a campus and they've gotten out of control, and everybody has the right to protest peacefully. prime minister benjamin netanyahu has vowed to resist international pressure to halt the war. and on tuesday, president biden is scheduled to make a speech on anti-semitism during a holocaust remembrance ceremony at the u.s. capitol. kris, laura. all right. thank you. brie well, today, the us secretary of state will visit

the bay area. antony blinken is scheduled to meet with biotech experts in menlo park. he'll then head to san francisco for the rsa conference, which is focusing on cyber security. the main focus is emerging technology, including ai, biotech and the digital world. our bob redell is monitoring the upcoming events for that visit and conference, which runs through thursday. bob will join us with more in our next half hour and new. this morning. a motorcyclist died after a crash in oakland and it happened just before midnight near 73rd avenue. and international police tell us that the victim died after his motorcycle struck a car. the driver of the car remained at the scene. police did close that street overnight to investigate. also today, state lawmakers will consider a new bill which could force self-checkout lanes to actually check out. today in the bay, ginger conejero saab joins us live in san francisco this morning. and, ginger, we know that this is all coming, as many stores there have already made a

lot of adjustments because of the rise in retail thefts. absolutely right. laura, we've talked about this before. as you mentioned, several stores here in the city have revised their self checkout strategies. today. lawmakers will consider a proposal that will make those adjustments more concrete across the entire state. now, this bill proposes that grocery stores or retail drug stores, they will be prohibited from offering self checkout options unless all of these conditions are met, including checkouts are limited to ten items or less. at least one manual self checkout station is available. customers are also prohibited from purchasing certain items, and the employee can monitor up to two self-service item stations. rather, i should say, at a time that employee is relieved from all other duties while monitoring those stations. now, this bill also requires stores to employ artificial intelligence to complete an assessment before implementing

certain technology. this comes as cities across the state have faced a backlash due to brazen thefts at grocery stores and pharmacies. here at san francisco, a woman was caught stealing tens of thousands of dollars worth of goods at different target locations. san francisco district attorney brooke jenkins announced that 43 year old aziza graves was convicted of one felony count of grand theft and 52 misdemeanor counts of petty theft, with thefts related to ones at stonestown target. she was also convicted of a misdemeanor petty theft at abercrombie and fitch from november rather from october 2020 to november 2021. the da says the convicted woman stole merchandise with a total value of $60,000. she would then sell those goods at un plaza. now, graves faces up to three years in state prison. her sentencing is due or scheduled for later this month. we'll be watching how that unfolds. the

bill does have the support of certain union groups. it also has the opposition of business groups. so this is a really interesting one to watch out for because as you both have mentioned, this is something that can affect how we all check out at the counter completely. we all see those lines there. all right. well, one to certainly continue to follow. thank you. all right. cruz in texas had to rescue several people from high water over the weekend. after days and days of heavy rain and flooding. the video here on your screen is out of houston, where officials were working to rescue residents and assess damage from severe weather. the flooding turned deadly when a child in the fort worth area near dallas died as he was swept away in the water. fortunately, there is finally an end in sight as the water is slowly receding. meteorologist kari hall is here. there used to rain in houston kerry, but this was just so much all at one time. over the course of just a few days and we're talking 910

even more inches of rainfall in those areas and it's flat. so you see that flooding happening very quickly. and as we take a look at the radar here, this is looping back 24 hours, where there still were some storms that developed yesterday afternoon into the evening. but now we are starting to see things quieting down there and we are expecting things to dry out. so hopefully those waters will continue to recede. and then looking here at home, we've had a very active storm pattern over the pacific northwest, with one of those storms coming through over the weekend. now that has also pushed off to the east. so we are starting out with the clear sky this morning. it's just the chilly start and we are going to have a sunny and breezy day. and for the middle of the week we'll start to warm up with a warmer weekend coming our way and summer-like temperatures for the inland areas with 70s and 80. but we're still in the 60s for today with fremont looking at a high of 66 there, 66 from hayward all the way up to oakland, as well as novato and upper 60s for santa rosa, while san francisco will be in the lower 60s. we'll get a

look at that warming trend coming our way in just a few minutes. and mike's been trying to find us some lower gas prices. yeah, you know, carry a couple of the spots i pass regularly in the morning down about a dime. let's start in the south bay, though. the lowest price in santa clara is 467 at platinum gas on washington street. now in contra costa county, we do have your best of 479 at valero on willow pass road and in solano county. we're going to look at vallejo for the new low there. that's 496 at arco on sonoma boulevard. you can report all of your low prices you're finding or the changes on gasbuddy.com. let us all know. on the roadways, there have been some changes and some have held steady. look over here. southbound 680. we had the earlier crash which had sand all over the lanes that did clear just before the build started, but then the build is now kicking in for south 680, so we're kind of holding steady there. we do have a smooth drive. the tri-valley times do show south 680, about 24 minutes from the interchange down to

vargas. it was about 25 or 26 a few minutes ago. so we're kind of holding steady as the volume starts to build. highway 84. nothing dramatic. so a good option for folks who typically take that. the bay bridge toll plaza, of course, has the backup and no drama at the approach, and the south bay has relieved from the first burst. the second one kicks in in half an hour. back to you like clockwork. all right. a lot of people start their day with a good cup of coffee, but do you ever feel like your starbucks order takes a little too long during the morning rush? well, the company's former ceo does o. next, some harsh words for his former company and the new fix. his replacement says may provide the needed jolt. and if you are looking for mother's day brunch plans, one bay area spot ranks among the top anywhere in the u.s. the classic breakfast spot with an asian twist catching the nation's attention this morning. keep it right here. you're watching today in the bay. if we

really where we're starting out with some low 40s. it is a chilly morning, but we will continue with sunshine and our temperatures headed for the upper 60s for today. so expect a pleasant afternoon. we'll get a look at some much warmer temperatures in our midweek forecast and what's ahead coming up in a few minutes. and what's ahead if you're traveling through the north bay. the tail lights going away from us,

that's southbound 101. generally the commute direction through san rafael. look how great it looks right here at north san pedro. we'll talk about 101 other spots in the bay. see how that's shaping up. coming up. thanks so much. carrie and mike. it is 614 right now. wall street is set to open higher after the markets ended last week in the green following the weaker than expected jobs report on friday. fewer jobs were added in april while unemployment rose, easing fears the economy is overheating and renewing hopes. the federal reserve may start cutting interest rates soon. in focus this week, data on consumer and jobless claims, plus earnings from disney, uber, airbnb, instacart and reddit ones to watch. well, former starbucks ceo howard schultz is criticizing the coffee giant, saying it needs to renew its focus. starbucks reported disappointing earnings last week. in a post on linkedin, schultz says the company should start by fixing its u.s. business, which he says was the primary reason for the company's fall from grace. starbucks

hasn't commented, but its current and ceo said last week he is mounting a turnaround, including speeding up service during morning hours to try to meet customer demand. a new at six california leaders are set to discuss a bill to regulate self-driving cars. this is a live look at the state capitol looking lovely this morning. this bill was introduced back in march and passed through the senate transportation committee, and it aims to allow local governments to create policies about autonomous vehicles since they drive our local roadways. that includes giving tickets to the cars for violations and keeping tech companies accountable. recently, waymo announced it is expanding its services on the peninsula. advocates of this bill say that it will keep communities safer. happening today, some legendary sports figures receive one of the bay area's top honors the bay area sports hall of fame will induct its latest nominees tonight in san francisco, and the five inductees include sharks legend patrick marleau,

former giants general manager brian sabean, saban and one time 49ers receiver john taylor, plus olympic gold medal swimmer jenny thompson and longtime san jose earthquake star chris wondolowski. tonight's event is happening at the hyatt regency in san francisco. trending this morning. mother's day is coming, and yelp has its top 100 spots for brunch across the country. hint, hint get those reservations in. you can actually find three of those favorites in san francisco. that includes mister east kitchen, la pizarra, a thai fusion spot, and lokma featuring turkish cuisine. mister east kitchen actually made the top ten. it's located on fifth street, just south of market. it's best known for breakfast with a vietnamese and thai twist. popular dishes there include a thai tea, french toast , and crunchy chicken and waffles. both sound perfect for mom. nice. made my stomach

growl. yeah we shouldn't do those stories in the morning. you know, unless we have samples. that's true. exactly, exactly. boy, you know, mother's day is usually lovely, but now i'm still shell shocked from the weekend, so i don't know what is it not going to be? i don't know, it's going to be hot. it is coming up. yeah. and we're looking at temperatures close to 90 if you're. oh come on kerry. at least brunch in the morning is going to be okay. but such a big difference from what we just had all of that rainfall that fell on saturday was more and a lot of spots than we typically get for the entire month of may. so that all came down in just a few hours in livermore, we usually get about a half inch of rainfall, and we did get that. and looking at san jose, 6/10 of an inch of rainfall is well above what we usually see through the whole month of may, where we're usually measuring about 3/10 of an inch of rainfall. san francisco also had more than the monthly may

rainfall total, and in the north bay, we're seeing those totals anywhere from a half inch in napa to over an inch in santa rosa. well now that we're getting a chance to dry out and the cool air has settled in, we're in the low 40s in san rafael. we do have a light wind. and looking at san francisco with our beautiful, clear start to the day we're in the upper 40s san jose will start out with some mid 50s and then see those temperatures warming up into the low to mid 60s for this afternoon, up to 66 degrees in fremont, 66 in dublin and mountain view is looking at a high of 68 degrees. tomorrow we see those numbers coming up a few more degrees. it's going to be really nice and comfortable with some low 70s. and then on wednesday we're starting to see some low 80s with santa rosa hitting a high of 82 degrees and also 82 in fairfield and concord. we are going to warm up quite a bit as we go throughout the week as this low moves off towards the east and high pressure builds going toward the

end of the week, that's going to give us a shift in the wind direction and also a clear sky and make it feel a little bit more like summer. here's a look at our 7-day forecast going from those highs in the 50s on saturday to 73 today, and then some upper 70s tomorrow, and then going through the rest of the week, upper 80s for friday and saturday, and also looking at more sunshine. not a chance of any rain here any time soon, but it will be heating up in san francisco into the mid 70s. mike, are you seeing some of those numbers looking a little better? yes, a couple of key. well this key number right here, the numbers are six, 80 and 20 minutes. that's much better actually a five minute improvement in that southbound direction as folks are traveling past the earlier crash sand debris, sand barrel car all looking really good right now. past for now. now, this may be an indicator of a lighter volume of traffic this monday morning, at least right now, because we did. i didn't think we were going to get that much improvement over the course of

this morning's commute. once it cleared late in that early part, we're looking at the rest of the bay, and it does show a lighter volume as well. over here, the disabled vehicle still doesn't look like it's a big problem for the castro valley y. and we do have a crash on the shoulder south 880 between the san mateo and dumbarton bridges, which move smoothly. south bay and no major problems. we'll see a build coming up there in just a few minutes, and we continue to see a build for highway four, highway 37 and also down here for west 80 through richmond, now slowing as crowds build toward that. richmond bridge toll plaza heading into the north bay, which moves at speed here, the bay bridge, of course, we know we're going to have the backup, and we had right on schedule. it's now just starting to move a lot more slowly here in these lanes at the toll plaza. so they may have slowed the metering lights down a bit, but the hov lanes indicate a smooth drive. once you get past this, past the metering lights and onto the span back to you. oh, that looks like that shot froze the parking lot out there. probably other people feel like yeah. 621 right now, overcoming obstacles by lending a helping hand as we amplify the voices of members of the aanhpi community

this month, we are shining the spotlight on special scholarships, helping students achieve their dreams. that's

aa and nhpi stories. mike inouye joins us now with more on some scholarships that are helping

first generation students overcome some obstacles. yeah, some things that not everybody thinks about. right. as talk turns to college admissions and college tuitions. well for many in the aa and nhpi community, population, the struggle to meet the financial needs can be intertwined with some less tangible trials. our biggest challenge is really kind of what you were speaking to, which is the model minority myth. and this idea that all asians are, you know, one monolith, that they're all very successful, that they're all going to ivy league schools or very prestigious state schools. we are one of the fastest growing communities in the united states at 25 million strong. we have 48 different ethnicities within our community, and we speak over 300 different languages. and so we receive less than 1% of philanthropic dollars. and that really goes back to this idea that, the myth that that we're

just a very successful, homogeneous group. now, the fact is apia is based in washington, dc. doctor harmon there, she tells me that they're continually trying to raise the community's voice. they're taking opportunities to have a seat at the table, not only when it comes to making policy, but also to implementing policy. another misconception i should say, is that we just don't have as big of a population. and so because there aren't as many pacific islanders, for example, you know, we shouldn't be investing in them. i hold that to be something that we have to dispel. so when i was a kid, we used to talk about, oh, there are stereotypes, but at least the asians have positive ones. but i think doctor harmon is talking about the fact that, you know, every stereotype does have limitations placed with it. and apia scholars also provides help not only with the financial needs, but other obstacles particular to first generation college students. getting into college is a tremendous adjustment. it's a first for the

entire family, but staying in college and completing college is the goal, and they have resources that can help with that, and we all need to think about that for our friends who may be a first time in the college atmosphere, they might not be as well adjusted as you might be, so help them out. yeah, exactly. really nice. thank you mike. well, we've got a lot more ahead at 630, including a double stabbing just feet away from a cinco de mayo celebration in the south. boy a young boy among the victims ahead. we'll have more on his condition as another man is also fighting for his life. plus, us secretary of state anthony blinken to visit silicon valley here in just a couple of hours. the rollout of the government's new strategy to combat cyber criminal stay withs.

the secretary of state amid cease fire negotiations in the middle east. antony blinken visits the bay area we're live ahead of his planned rollout of a brand new cyber strategy. plus, bay area tent protests continue to despite chaos seen on campuses elsewhere. the big meeting scheduled for today at one university, with graduation fast approaching, there are definitely tourists here. there are definitely tourists spending. a new sign california is moving forward. tourist spending hits a record high. so

why is san francisco lagging behind? we break down the new findings. this is today in the bay. 630 on your monday morning. thanks for starting your day with us. i'm laura garcia and i'm kris sanchez. good to have you back with us. laura we missed you while you were gone. thank you. i missed you, too. thank you for filling in. i nursing a throat thing. obviously, we're still working on it. right, kerry? weather looks lovely for today. yeah, it looks definitely calmer than it was over the weekend. we had so much going on with that cold front that moved through all of the rain. and yesterday it was just chilly. but we are still looking at a clear sky as you're stepping out right now. we're going to see a lot of sunshine and a breezy wind, and then gradually warming up for the middle of the week into the weekend with summer-like temperatures coming our way. as you're heading out the door in mountain view in the next couple of hours, it will still be in the upper 40s, but you can see the warming trend as we go into later today with some mid to

upper 60s and a high also of 68 degrees in san jose, 66 in dublin and livermore, concord, 71 and 68 today in napa. so we'll talk about the summer-like temperatures we have coming in. but right now it's not too bad of a commute. yeah, it kind of not summer-like but good. like like this folks. you can't see it from here. let me show you a bigger shot of this. there you go. closer up for you. you can see the traffic going from left to right. that's into san francisco. well spaced. and that's because of the metering. lights are on. but there's no surprise as far as the backup at the toll plaza. gentle build for the east shore freeway down from richmond all the way through berkeley. now more focus at the richmond bridge over towards san rafael. so we'll watch that for west 580, but off of 580 south 680 now showing more slowing the earlier crash and debris cleared from bernal. then we had good recovery. and now we're back to pretty much a typical pattern for the tri-valley. as we start to see more traffic. there is some slowing past the crash on the shoulder south 880 right around 237, but san jose does not yet have that build for 101

coming up toward oakland road. back to you, chris. thank you. mike. later today, president joe biden's top diplomat is set to visit the bay area today in the bay's bob redell joins us live from menlo park. and bob, secretary of state antony blinken has a message for cyber criminals. he does. good morning to you, chris. first, he'll meet with biotech experts at this firm behind me here in menlo park before later today heading up the peninsula to san francisco to deliver the keynote at the rsa security conference to roll out the administration's new international cyberspace and digital policy strategy. according to politico, the country's new cyberspace strategy will include the announcement of a new $50 million fund to help our allies enhance their own cybersecurity efforts. last week, secretary of state blinken was in israel, where he tried to broker a cease fire between the israelis and hamas and also the release of israeli hostages being held by

that terrorist organization. israel has started dropping leaflets in rafah that's in the gaza strip, warning more than a million palestinian civilians to leave that area before israel invades. in an effort to root out hamas out of that part of the country. if netanyahu and israel go into rafah, there's no chance for a hostage deal or a cease fire. well, look, we're we're focused on the i believe, the israeli government is as well. and that's, i think, evident from the fact that the proposal, the most recent proposal they put on the table, shows that they're willing to make big compromises in order to get a deal done. secretary blinken is in town, just for part of today. later this morning, again, he'll meet with biotech experts at this biotech firm behind me in menlo park. then later in the morning with quantum technology experts in sf before delivering that keynote at the rsa conference mid-afternoon. he'll then head to guatemala to meet with that

country's president. reporting live here in menlo park, bob redell, today in the bay all right. we know he's going to be monitoring what's happening all around the world, but it's good to have him in the bay area as well. thank you. bob well, just into our newsroom, columbia is canceling its university wide commencement ceremony after weeks of pro-palestinian protests on campus. in a statement, the university said it will hold smaller scale celebrations instead, and the ivy league school said the decision was made after discussions with student leaders. a university official tells nbc news security concerns were a main reason behind this decision. god is tough. it is especially for these graduates. meantime, the president of san francisco state plans to meet with pro-palestinian protesters this afternoon and no open negotiation is expected to take place. demonstrators are calling on the school to disclose and withdraw all investments, with companies doing business with israel and declare opposition to what they call genocide in gaza.

it will be hosted here at the quad over our encampment. we're going to be discussing our terms of demands and we are hoping that we come to a concrete conclusion. and if we don't, then we'll continue the work that we are doing. a protest spokesperson says the demands are non-negotiable, non-negotiable. students at stanford also remain steadfast in their protest against the university. things remained peaceful at an encampment at white plaza over the weekend. it's been two weeks since protesters began setting up dozens of tents there. a group spokesperson says they refused to move until the university agrees to divest from companies, making weapons, oil and gas, as well as surveillance systems used in the israel-hamas war. stanford has warned students their camps violate university policy. so far, police have not forced them out. it is 636 now and one person died in a shooting in oakland over the weekend. it happened yesterday, around 1210 in the afternoon at

the corner of 12th street in lake merritt boulevard. police say the gunshot victim crashed into a motel parking lot on first avenue. so far, no arrests have been made. the investigation is ongoing and developing right now. police in san jose are not yet saying whether a double stabbing in which a child and an adult were injured is tied to nearby cinco de mayo celebrations. it happened in the early evening hours last night, not far from where the cinco de mayo celebrations were happening off king road. police say both of the victims have critical injuries. they are not saying whether there is a suspect description and they're not saying if they know what the motive is at this point. in oakland, a police officer who was killed in the line of duty last year will be among those honored at a special ceremony later today. 36 year old tuan was shot and killed while responding to a burglary in progress. the california peace officers memorial ceremony is set for this morning in sacramento, and governor gavin newsom, as well as the

lieutenant governor, attorney general and the chief justice of the california supreme court, will be in attendance. moving you forward this morning. tourism in california is back, and it is better than ever. according to a report from visit california, which shows travel spending in the state was up in 2023. governor gavin newsom made that announcement high atop the golden gate bridge, who made me dizzy looking at it. that's quite the climb, he says. travelers spent a record $150 billion with a b in the golden state last year. it's a sign that we are finally moving past the pandemic. but while the tourism spending in the bay area and san francisco is on the rise, it has not yet caught up to 2019 levels yet. we talked with the ceo of travel san francisco, who says part of the challenge for the city is that there are not as many travelers coming from asian countries. we have a really, really high dependance on international travel from asia. in san

francisco. it's a very, very big part, an important part of our our of sort of our visitor mix. and that is still lagging how this is expected to improve as the number of flights increase once again between china and the u.s. but of course, it's going to take time. now to the sierra, where we have new snow. total records for the season. uc berkeley sierra snow lab says saturday's storm dropped more than 26in in may. that makes it the snowiest day at the lab this season. again in may, researchers say. the second snowiest day was march 3rd, which saw just under 24in of snow. we expect that in march. again not in may. palisades tahoe ski resort also celebrating fresh snow. they got 26in and 24 hours and the resort is calling it the best may powder day in recent memory. wow, carrie, you got to be going bananas in the weather department. i mean, just not only that, but all the rain that

we had in the bay area, that was more than our monthly rainfall totals. yeah, it was in one day. yeah it was really pouring. and so as we take a live look in palisades this morning, it is absolutely gorgeous and beautiful to see. but as we keep stressing in may, in may, in may, it's going to be warming up over the next few days. so pretty much all of the snow that we saw is going to be melting as our temperatures head for the low 50s here by the middle of the week, but checking in on the sierra snowpack that's now at 89% of normal for the central sierra. and we are above that, above our normal amount for the northern sierra at 111% of our usual amount. and we keep an eye on it because our sierra snowpack provides a third of the state's water supply. so those dry summer months that snow melt heads down and also helps to fill up our reservoir. so good to see that coming in so late as we take another live look out there. and the temperatures that

are right at about 30 degrees for south lake tahoe, we are going to continue to see that sunshine while we're also seeing some sun here in the bay area. so i'll have a look at that and what to expect as our temperatures turn more summer-like over the next few days. but mike, you were calling out some slowing now in the south bay. yeah. overall we have a great commute and we know that after spring break we tend to see the overall morning commute kind of ease up a little bit shorter. lived here, but this is slowing. that's just developed after a crash. has been here. south 880 at 237. it sounds like a car went off the roadway. folks familiar with the area know you can kind of go down and toward where the roadway slides down in toward some water and some mud. that's where there's a pickup truck and crews have arrived. so a distraction and possibly the slow lane blocked. it is slow. a build now for 237 coming down toward first street. and that's pretty typical about this time. so is this slowing for 101 a little slowing for 87 into downtown? there may be more slowing just in timberlake concert tonight and tomorrow night. don't worry. you have chances to get tickets out there. we're looking over here. i have to help him with his

dance moves. so the second night's probably better. we're looking over here toward the rest of the bay. that's totally kidding. but this is not kidding. it's five at the bay bridge toll plaza. we have a smooth flow of traffic there and the build across from the richmond side. of course, there's the build there because that's the time we see more trucks and cars over to the north bay. back to you. all right. thank you. mike a deadly turn for three americans south of the border up next, new details from investigators after the discovery of three surfers who simply wanted to surf the waves in baja california. plus, a new mission is about to get underway at cape canaveral after years of setbacks, the planned launch of astronauts into space happening in just a matter of hours. and fashionistas get ready because it is the first monday in may, and that means this year's highly anticipated met gala is getting started. we'll hear exclusive from the one and only anna wintour. and what about this year's theme? you'reatching today in the w

take it. we're taking a live look outside in san jose as we're waking up to sunshine and chilly temperatures. it's in the upper 40s. and then as we look at the trend throughout the morning into the afternoon, it will be in the mid to upper 60s as that sunshine continues. still cooler than normal, but it's going to heat up quickly. we'll take a look at the 7-day forecast coming up in a few minutes. and this actually simmered down. we saw a lot of

slowing. i saw a lot of slowing over the last couple of minutes and then smoothing out now west across the san mateo bridge. no surprises. it's just the flat section with the build. we'll talk about how things are shaping up, because i do see some other slower spots developing, even on this pretty calm monday morning. we have new details in the deaths of three surfers in mexico. jack carter, road of san diego, callum robinson and his brother jake robinson disappeared last weekend during a trip to baja california. they never arrived at their rental unit in rosarito. authorities later found their bodies in a water well. investigators now believe they were the victims of a carjacking gone wrong, and that they might have been shot after trying to fight back. their friends are devastated. it's tragic. very tragic. colin was a good guy, a surfer. i knew he played rugby. mexican police already arrested at least three people in a reportedly recovered. one of the victims cell phones, which was being

used by one of those suspects. happening today, parents in one south bay school district are calling on administrators to rethink the upcoming transfer of two popular teachers, according to a web signup page. the teachers are beloved by their second and third grade students at san jose's forest hill elementary school. the posting says. the teachers are being transferred in voluntarily, and the campbell union school district will only say it is for the benefit of the community. early this morning we did contact the school district. we are waiting for their response. we know it's early. parents are planning to protest this morning outside district headquarters. the countdown to blastoff is officially underway this morning . as tonight, boeing is set to finally launch astronauts to the international space station for nasa on the starliner spacecraft. this is a look at the launch pad at cape canaveral, florida. this launch follows years of delays. back in 2019, the unmanned capsule never made it to orbit because of

software problems. boeing tried again in 2022, and the launch time now is set for a little after 730. tonight, our time here, pacific. well, there were festive cinco de mayo celebrations happening all over san jose this weekend. the festivities happened with a parade starting at city hall yesterday, and it wound around the city, ending up at plaza cesar chavez for an all day festival. and on the east side, people lined the streets for another parade. some members of our nbc bay area and telemundo 48 family proud to ride on that float. also rolling out hundreds of low riders from more than 70 local car clubs. damian trujillo and his family was in one of those lowriders. he got us some point of view video of what the parade route looked like. it looked like a very good time. i love i love the mariachi. can't

beat it. well, trending this morning, the stars will definitely be out this first monday in may, with the return of fashion's biggest night. yeah, we are talking exclusively with the event's chief organizer tonight. people everywhere will be watching as celebrities arrive for the met gala. the event raises money for the metropolitan museum of art this morning. today talks exclusively with anna wintour, chief editor of vogue magazine. she says coming up with this year's theme left a little things a little harder to find. i said, what are we going to say to people to wear to this night? and he said, well, what about garden of time, which is also magical and romantic and could mean lots and lots of different things. so i fear that we have unleashed a lot of confusion out there, and for which i deeply apologize. i don't know that she's ever apologized for anything. winter tells nbc's jenna bush hager that she feels like she broke the cardinal rule by picking a rather undefined theme. we're

guessing it's still going to be a lot of, but i would imagine, right. a lot of florals, right? yeah, i would think so. was it garden of time, florals and fashion? you know what that means? you can see the full interview and get a first look at the sears gala later on on the today show starts at 7:00, of course, right after today in maybe you'll see a lot of like salvador dali. i was going to say i was hoping they'll have melted clocks. i was thinking like garden of eden. i wonder if they'll be. oh, that could get. hey, nude. you got a lead? you did. maybe fig leaf. say the temperatures are going up. yeah. we'll get our leaves ready. i guess a lot of leaves, right? hopefully no wind. okay absolutely. you know, we'll see how things go there tonight. watching it on tv. it's a red carpet, perhaps. edited maybe. yeah we'll see if there's a delay or something going on. all right. so we had so much rain going on over the weekend here in the bay area with that very unusual may storm that came in

and brought in our monthly rainfall all in one day, where we saw rainfall totals in san francisco close to an inch. well, during the month of may, we usually get a little less than three quarters of an inch of rainfall. so here's what we typically see for the entire month, and what we had on saturday. with san jose getting 6/10 of an inch of rainfall, that's more than double our usual amount. so we had quite a significant storm here. and now it's just cold behind that cold front. we're feeling temperatures in the upper 30s in santa rosa. it is 44 in oakland, and we're seeing low 40s in dublin, as well as in parts of the peninsula. it's going to be a chilly start, but in san leandro, as we go throughout the morning into the afternoon, it's going to warm up nicely and our temperatures in the upper 50s at 11:00 and eventually into the mid 60s for today, upper 60s for the south bay, and 71 in concord. we're going to see temperatures in the upper 60s in the north bay. and then looking at tomorrow, it continues to warm up with some low to mid 70s

for parts of the east bay, as well as the south bay san mateo up to 66 degrees. and look at wednesday 73. there well, we'll start to see some low 80s for concord and fairfield, upper 70s for the south bay. so high pressure is going to be building as we go throughout the week. and we're looking at a significant warm up. it's going to feel like summer for a few days, and then we gradually start to see those numbers coming back down. but it is going to heat up fairly quickly. just thinking back to the weekend where we had highs in the 50s. today we're in the 70s and then in the upper 80s. by friday. so a quick shift there heading to summer and it's also going to be dry with no more rain chances coming our way for quite a while. mike, you were looking at the drive out of the east bay. yeah. this is southbound 880 through fremont pass tesla. but i did want to also point out the grassy hills and the lower areas. as you get closer to milpitas. and that's where that crash is still reportedly a pickup kind of sank

down, i think, into the mud there on the side of the road. and there are crews that have arrived, chp and visibility and an increased volume of traffic. so that is what causes this general slowing. south 880 passing the transition. now the flyover is just fine. so if you can use that, go for it. heading over toward 237. typical build for 101 and 87 shows right here on the map for the south bay tri valley held up nicely, but we do have a little more build coming into the area, and we do have one on one slowing through san martin and morgan hill. a pretty typical pattern, but lighter volume there as well as contra costa county with a build out of walnut creek back to you. thank you mike. happening now. small business week is kicking off in san francisco. the mayor and other leaders are hosting a public event at pier 70 tonight. and the theme is a love letter to makers and manufacturers. the week features workshops, networking opportunities and other events. and coming up next, the top stories making headlines on today in the bay, including a game changer for bay area grocery stores. one state

morning. welcome back. we're moving you forward with a look at the top stories on today in the bay, including a deadly crash in the east bay. it happened just before midnight near 73rd avenue and international. that is where a motorcyclist died after colliding with a car. the driver of the car did remain at the

scene. police closed that street overnight to investigate. and police in san jose are not yet saying whether a double stabbing in which a child and an adult were injured is tied to a nearby cinco de mayo celebration. it happened in the early evening hours last night, not far from the celebrations happening off king road. police say both of the victims are injured critically. so far they are not saying whether there is a suspect description or a possible motive, and the bay area is getting a visit from the secretary of state, antony blinken, starting today. this is a live look at menlo park, where he is making his first stop later this morning. blinken will then head to san francisco to deliver the keynote address for the rsa conference, which focuses on cybersecurity. the main focus is emerging technologies, including ai, biotech and other digital concerns. blinken will be the keynote speaker. he is expected to also unveil a new white house cyber strategy at that conference, which runs through

thursday. and today, state lawmakers will consider a new bill, which could force self-checkout lanes to check out. the bill would prohibit grocery stores or retail drug stores from offering self checkout options unless they meet certain conditions, including checkouts, limited to ten items or less. employees would also be required to monitor up to two stations at a time. this comes as a san francisco woman was convicted of stealing tens of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise from a san francisco target. all right, let's get a check of the forecast with carrie. yeah, we're starting out with sunshine this morning, but as you step out the door, you'll notice how cold it is. and today, we'll see temperatures in the upper 60s and low 70s. upper 70s. tomorrow look at how much we warm up through the end of the week. near 90 degrees on friday for the interior valleys, while san francisco will be in the mid 70s. all right. our changes are not so dramatic, but also shorter time frame, more volume

south bay. so 85 and 87 now showing more slowdowns. typical pattern for the south bay. same thing for the san mateo bridge. no problem. just more traffic and same number of lanes, same thing at the bay bridge toll plaza. but it's moving. it's moving. take your word for it. the today show is moments away. we are continuing today in the bay on roku and our other streaming platforms at eight. coming up, making a push for electric vehicles. we'll show you the funding the white house is rolling out to help automakers upgrade their production facilities. plus, we'll take you to new york as the red carpet is rolled out for tonight's met gala. and that is what's happening t dangerous flooding sparks a disaster in texas. >> yeah, and other parts of the country now bracing for the next severe weather outbreak. good morning. it's may 6th. this is "today". catastrophic. parts of dallas and houston
