for possible flooding. meteorologist kari hall is tracking the timeline for extreme high tides and the chilly start to the morning. this is "today in the bay." and a good monday morning after the holiday. i'm ginger conejero saab filling in for marcus. >> and i'm laura garcia. everybody still digesting all of that turkey? >> i've got more to work on. >> feels like it. >> we'll let you get to that in a bit. we're checking the forecast because this is a chilly start. >> yes, it is. it makes it hard to get up and out of bed after a long holiday weekend. we do have a freeze warning in effect for parts of solano county and lake county, those areas in purple. in blue, they're under a frost advisory, so you may have a little extra work to do with the credit card. you may need it to scrape off the windshield as you get started this morning. we're going to see temperatures
6:02 am
below freezing for the next couple of hours. in sonoma, santa rosa, we are below freezing. also, it's only 31 right now in dublin and 40 in san jose, and as we look at our forecast for the east bay, we're going to see our highs this afternoon reaching into the low to mid-60s. only 62 in antioch today, while in oakland we'll see a high of 64 degrees. we'll talk more about what's ahead and when we get rain in a few minutes. mike, has there been any improvements for the bay bridge? >> there has. it doesn't look like it from this shot. traffic is packed at the toll plaza. i think that's because they slowed the metering lights down as the incident cleared at interstate 80 just at 101. you see some recovery for the speeds, just a bit. the traffic will continue to build, but nothing worse than before, that's great news. highway 4 and 37 holding steady with a predictable build. we may have an issue southbound 880 approaching davis. we have a disabled vehicle. there is slowing. more slowing south 680 toward
6:03 am
the sunol exit, a crash. it's in the center divide. back to you. we begin with a live look at the israeli/gaza border, where it is 8:00 p.m. right now it is the final hours of a four-day cease-fire. president joe biden among those pushing for the pause in fighting to be extended. now, an extension could see more hostages released from gaza in exchange for palestinian prisoners. in the latest round, 17 were let go by hamas, including a 4-year-old american girl. israel released 39 palestinian prisoners, all of whom were minors. brie jackson is live in washington. this is certainly a relief for families who have been waiting for their loved ones, but there are still families waiting in agony. >> reporter: that's right, good morning. so president biden said it is hopeful that more americans will be released in today's exchange and the president is also encouraging an extension in the four-day cease-fire agreement
6:04 am
between israel and hamas. this 4-year-old is the first american citizen freed by hamas. the israeli government says this video shows some of the 16 others freed sunday. emotional homecomings for families who have waited for more than 50 days for their release. >> such a relief just to see them smiling and to see them reunited. it's really overwhelming. it's like we're all walking around with this brick on our chest for so long. >> reporter: president biden also expressing his relief, while pushing for more hostages to come home. >> we continue to press and expect for additional americans that will be released as well. we will not stop working until every hostage is returned to their loved ones. >> reporter: humanitarian aid continues to flow into gaza under the protection of the four-day pause in fighting, a deal set to end today. the biden administration is pushing to extend it. >> hamas is going to make the
6:05 am
decision about whether they're prepared to release another ten hostages. israel has put its cards on the table. they're prepared to extend the pause in fighting. so the ball is in hamas' court. >> reporter: on capitol hill, the battle over aid for israel continues this week. >> it will be very difficult to get it done by the end of the year. the impediment is the white house policy on the southern border. >> reporter: families are grateful to be reunited with their loved ones, and hopeful others held captive return home soon. the israeli government has warned that it is prepared for the next phase of the war, once the pause in fighting ends. >> thanks for that update. we'll be closely monitoring. it is 6:04. happening later today in vermont, the suspect accused in the shooting of three students of palestinian dissent is expected to make a court appearance. the three men were heading to their grandparents' home for a holiday dinner in burlington.
6:06 am
police say the suspect confronted them and opened fire without speaking. all three are expected to survive, but one of them suffered serious injuries. police arrested 48-year-old jason eaton, who investigators say lives near the shooting scene. the fbi is still trying to determine if the shooting is a hate crime. also today, a man accused in the grisly murder of his grandmother in the north bay is due in court for a plea hearing. the 23-year-old, luis lopez, is being held without bail. a little more than three weeks ago investigators say he killed his 64-year-old grandmother at her home in santa rosa and left with her head. a few days later, authorities arrested him in san francisco. on the same day, police located her head on the banks of the santa rosa creek near downtown. investigators say that killing was targeted. aroyo-lopez has not yet entered a plea. san francisco sidewalks will probably look a little different, at least in one
6:07 am
neighborhood. that's because a ban on street vending takes effect. >> "today in the bay"'s kris sanchez joins us to explain the conflict and the ongoing pushback. >> the ordinance on street vending in the mission district is a 90-day ban that goes into effect today in an effort to crack down on people who are selling food or other goods without a permit, or who are selling stolen goods. but law-abiding vendors say they are getting caught in the middle, and they say supervisor hillary ronen, who represents the mission won't listen. she launched the 90-day ban after reports of public works crews being threatened or assaulted for trying to enforce city rules. more than 100 permitted venders did form an association and the spokesperson says they understand the complaint, but that this ban is overreaching. >> we want to be able to walk safely. but this is not a mission problem. this is a problem throughout the country and every major city and it is not fair to punch down on people who you think don't have
6:08 am
the ability to defend themselves. >> reporter: ronen defended her action, saying i also found out that dpw workers are wearing bullet proof vests to work and that many workers filed grievances through their union so they no longer had to work in the mission because they feared for their safety. for the next 90 days, about 40 venders will be able to operate out of spaces rented by the city and run by nonprofits. this one is an abandoned furniture store. others say they are going to brave the streets. however, those who do, can have their merchandise confiscated. the ordinance does not allow for them to be arrested. the venders association, now that they are organized, they say they have reached out to legal counsel. they're trying to figure out what avenues they have to pursue in order to be able to make a living on the street. >> right. it will be interesting to see if they have the enforcement, if they are able to kind of makeshift put it out there. >> it's hard. if you have the people who are charged with enforcing being
6:09 am
threatened, how much do you enforce? >> the 90-day ban might be brought back, it might continue? >> right. they're going to see how this goes and clear things out. because at one point the b.a.r.t. plaza there wasn't even usable. they had to shut it down. >> thanks for the latest. also, happening today, a summit focused on improving bay area transit is set to get under way. state lawmakers will meet with leaders from various local transit agencies to talk about the good, the bad, and quite frankly, the ugly, when it comes to bay area transit. a state senate committee chaired by san francisco's scott wiener is organizing the summit, which will include a host of other local state senators. topics will include fiscal projections and funding needs, with some transit agencies advancing toward a so-called fiscal cliff. now to a live look along the coast in tiburon. the national weather service is warning about possible coastal flooding along the immediate
6:10 am
coastline and bayfront. in the hours surrounding high tide tomorrow, low-lying areas are most susceptible. high tide this morning happens at 10:30. tomorrow it's a little after 11:00 a.m. meteorologist kari hall has been tracking the areas where flooding is actually possible. how is it looking? >> we look at those typical areas where we do see that tidal flooding cause problems along some of those pathways and trails. we talk about the manzanita park and ride and some of those areas that deal with king tide flooding. we're approaching those high tides, and today, the last day of dealing with the potential flooding in these low-lying areas. if you didn't flood over the weekend, most likely you won't flood again today. so we're going to continue with this as we go deeper into our winter with higher than normal tides, because the sun is at its closest point to the earth and the moon is at its closest point. that gravitational pull of the sun and moon brings in the water higher to the inland areas and
6:11 am
we do typically start to see problems. that's going to be peaking in january and february. today we are looking at a cold start, napa in the upper 30s, headed for the mid-60s. we'll talk about the weather and what's ahead. mike, you're tracking gas prices. going up or down? >> we have a new low, $3.99 at costco on coleman avenue in santa clara. also at the costco on lawrence station in sunnyvale. you do have to have a gift card if you're not a member. hayward, gas buddy reports $4.01 is the best price, cash price, valero on hesperian boulevard. $4.43, the best we can do at the arco in mill valley. on the roadways, no major issues. we do have slowing and an incident south 680 in the center divide, down through the sunol area past the exit. it's a distraction but not a major hang-up. the tri-valley looking good out of contra costa county.
6:12 am
vasco road starting to build a little with the commute. only 21 minutes from marsh creek. the slowing in richmond is starting to clear. i've still got my eyes on a cash in walnut creek. lots of people going back to work today, and of course shopping, cyber monday. that's take you out to the futures this morning. it has been four weeks of wins in a row. looks like we'll give away a little money today. plus, what are people reading in san francisco? the library just revealed its most checked-out books of the year. find out which books you may want to mark on your must-read list. plus, a bay area scientist who dreamed of going to space is now getting his wish. but it's still a little bittersweet. how his family helped make that dream a reality. keep it here. you're watching "today in the bay."
6:13 am
6:14 am
6:15 am
time to get back to work. we're taking a look at morgan hill, starting out chilly, with low 40s still at 8:00 this morning. at noon, we're at 64 degrees. there's a nice warm-up coming our way for the afternoon. and a few clouds in the mix as well. we'll track when we could see rain in our microclimate forecast coming up. that commute builds out of san martin, morgan hill. 101 here, not so bad. this is palo alto. we see an increase in volume. more taillights heading north toward san francisco. no major delays. we'll focus on walnut creek coming up.
6:16 am
good morning. very happy monday to you. wall street had a winning week again last week, so that's four weeks in a row. we're going to get readings on consumer confidence and inflation later this week. bytedance, the parent company of tiktok, is laying off some employees. it's still hiring in san jose for its tiktok app, but a foray into video games didn't go as well and bytedance is limiting exposure. it's the first monday after thanksgiving and a very long time ago people didn't have computers at home, so they would come to work on this day and log into the office computer on brand new services like amazon to buy christmas presents, and you got cyber monday. it was born, retailers ran with it. though an expert tells the "today" show, most of us will actually do our cyber shopping when we get back home from work today. >> in the five hours from 6:00 to 11:00 pst, that's when we see
6:17 am
spend velocity take off and we're expecting about $4 billion in spending just between those hours. >> bob redell is out at an amazon facility today, which is no doubt going to be very busy. can you spot your package? a five report from him coming up at 6:30. speaking of shopping, every year i pick a group of gifts, things that i might buy and give this holiday season and then i track those prices through the season to see if the prices change. i have an update. there's a dyson hair dryer, the aluminum one on amazon, walmart has a frigidaire icemaker. we're following very specific skus, so we're comparing apples to apples. macy's is selling a 5 quart mixer. toys"r"us has the barbie dream house. the prices you're seeing came before black friday. these are the current prices and they didn't change at all on black friday. a tiktok video making the rounds of someone peeking behind the black friday prices at a big box
6:18 am
retailer to see how much they're saving got kind of the same result. now, are there black friday deals? of course there are. but, remember, this is all about retailers. the black, as we were saying earlier, black friday refers to black ink for retailers. this is their holiday. cyber monday is their holiday. they're trying to make it a big important thing. are you going to save money? but if you weren't going to buy it in the first place, keep that in mine. >> i normally never go out on black friday, but i did later in the afternoon. >> what was it like? we were working early, and there were not many people out early. >> believe me, i'm talking later like the afternoon. there's no way i would get up early if i have the day off. >> we would take live pictures of some of the malls that were open early, pretty quiet. >> right. yeah, i would say it was busier. but i actually got some pretty good deals. >> good. >> and got things done.
6:19 am
>> i felt the same way. we went out this weekend, it ex extends into the weekend. >> that's my point. >> especially retailers, some of them are hurting. don't forget the little guy, small business saturday. >> absolutely. new this morning, a recently deceased bay area scientist getting his final wish, going to a place he could never quite reach in his lifetime. some of his remains are being sent into space. a berkeley space scientist and one-time astronaut michael lambton was designated for a space shuttle mission in 1992, but a cancer diagnosis prevented him from going. he died in june at the age of 82. but now, "east bay times" reports a sample of his remains will be shot into space as part of a commercial launch next month. he'll have some company. as part of the space burial, the remains of more than 200 others
6:20 am
will be on the same cargo ship. a nice tribute. >> that is a beautiful tribute. are you looking for a good book to check out? san francisco library has you covered. it's releasing a list of the ten most checked-out books in 2023, memoirs made up eight of the top ten titles in the print non fiction category. prince harry's "spare" tops the list. now, it is also the library system's top audio book of the year. the second top book is "the light we carry" and the third is called "this is ear hustle: unflinching stories of everyday prison life". >> i read "spare" and listened to it on audio because when i'm driving in the car with the kids. it was so good because it was in prince harry's voice, and especially during the times he talked about his mother. i think it came together nicely.
6:21 am
>> no surprise that's why it's topping the list. >> and the michelle obama voice as well. my mother-in-law loves listening to that. >> good opportunity. maybe a good time to cozy up next to a book, listen to an audio book with this weather. >> yes, it is hard to get moving. i know a lot of people, it's back to work today. so let's get you a look at what to expect as you step out the door. at least it will be sunny today, even though you can't tell by looking at this picture. it is so cold outside, so we're starting out below freezing in dublin, and it is just one degree above freezing in livermore. and we're seeing near freezing temperatures across much of the north bay. it is 33 in palo alto, while in san mateo it's 50 degrees. we're seeing temperatures all over the place. i think overall there's a big chill in the air. in cupertino at 8:00, we're at 42 degrees at lunchtime, it's still jacket weather, 61 degrees and reaching into the low 60s
6:22 am
today. and then as you make your way across the east bay, we're only headed up for about 62 degrees, parts of the north bay in the mid-60s, san francisco is 64, and 66 in mountain view. now, going into tomorrow, there's not much of a change in our temperatures, but gradually we'll start to see clouds coming in. by wednesday, with some off and on showers, some parts of the bay area will stay in the 50s. so be prepared for not only needing the layers, but also the umbrella. we could start to see that rain moving into the coastal areas and the north bay as early as late tomorrow evening into early wednesday morning. and then it looks pretty spotty throughout the day on wednesday and possibly a few lingering showers on thursday. but we're not looking at a big storm system here and we need a lot more than this to watch up to normal. it's been a fairly dry start to our fall season. some of us may only get about a tenth to quarter inch of rain, maybe higher for the santa cruz mountains. looking ahead, several weak
6:23 am
storm systems rolling by, staying unsettled. it looks like much of the rain into the weekend and early next week is just to our north. we'll be watching that because things could change based on the track of the storm systems. our temperatures for much of the week reach into the low 60s and in san francisco we may stay in the 50s on wednesday and then again on friday. mike, do you still see something on the walnut creek camera? >> we do. heading down toward the 680/24 split, right there, a disabled truck. they need a medium-sized tow truck and can't find it. we need a tow truck here. there's a camper on the shoulder as well. we need two tow trucks. despite that, the interchange is moving smoothly. we had a little slowing and it's easing up. i think we have a lighter than typical monday morning. typical spots throughout contra costa county and slowing through sunol, this crash has three vehicles in the center divide. back to you. it is 6:23.
6:24 am
the busy holiday travel rush not quite over yet. still ahead, new numbers just into our newsroom revealing a record-breaking travel weekend, and how long we can expect airports to stay packed this week. 6:23. we'll right back.be

6:26 am
welcome back. a live look at sfo, one of the many airports nationwide bracing for another rush of holiday travelers today.
6:27 am
aaa finds that the sunday after thanksgiving is typically the busiest day for travelers, but overall the number of fliers will likely be a little lighter today. the tsa estimates 3 million passengers flew nationwide yesterday, that's up 10% from last year. here in the bay area, it was more of a mixed bag for flyers. >> i've been here for 30 minutes already, because we were anticipating a longer line. >> the flight was delayed about an hour. >> the flight tracking website flightaware reported about 200 delays yesterday at sfo and sjc. aaa estimated about 55 million americans drive 50 miles or more over the holiday weekend. >> busy time. coming up next, the top stories we're following today, including all new at 6:00, the new technology law enforcement in the east bay is using to track down thieves. we'll show you how a little device is helping to solve crimes. i'm bob redell, we're live

right now at 6:30, a growing push to extend the cease-fire between israel and hamas.
6:31 am
the latest developments as more hostages are released and today's new bay area call for a permanent cease-fire. elon musk in israel, the government there says to fight anti-semitism, but lots of people would say he's part of the problem. and it is cyber monday. consider the all-important final day of retail's shopping stretch. we'll take you live behind-the-scenes at one amazon warehouse to show you how deliveries are getting to your doorstep this holiday season. this is "today in the bay." pretty fascinating. you want to stick around for that. first, we want to say good monday morning. hope you had a nice holiday weekend. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm ginger conejero saab. marcus washington has the morning off. great holiday weekend, hopefully, for everyone waking up now to some colder temperatures. we're taking a live look at the bay in tiburon and the national weather service is warning about possible coastal flooding along the coast and bayfront. this area saw some flooding
6:32 am
yesterday and it's much dryer now. but that could still change later this morning. kari has been monitoring the high tide flooding we're expecting. >> it will be coming later this morning for most of the coastal areas and low-lying areas that do typically see flooding with king tides. we're approaching that time of year and we're watching those areas that may have flooded yesterday for the same possibility today, and that's going to be happening between 9:30 and 10:30 for areas shaded in green. once again, that's the low-lying areas along the bayshore, those trails. we are seeing this because the closest point the earth is from the moon, and then also the sun is as its closest point. as we make it into january and february, it creates a greater gravitational pull and water that comes further inland during high tide. that's what we're seeing here today, the last day of these
6:33 am
extremely high tides. we will be watching out for that as we go into next month. we'll talk about the weather in a few minutes. let's take a live look at the israeli/gaza border where it is about 8:30 p.m. there. the israel and hamas cease-fire in its final hours. it comes as hamas yesterday released 17 hostages, including a 4-year-old american girl. in exchange, israel released 39 palestinian prisoners, all of whom are reportedly minors. meanwhile, oakland leaders this afternoon are planning to hold a special session to debate a resolution calling for a permanent cease-fire. the city council's proposal calls for the release of all hostages and unrestricted humanitarian aid to gaza. supporters claim the resolution does not include specifics or assign blame to either side. however, it points out how many children have been killed in conflict. now, dozens of people gathered
6:34 am
last night at neighboring alameda city hall to call for a cease-fire. the mayor and other local leaders came out to show their support and called the current four-day pause in fighting insufficient. >> what happens after the pause is over? more children will die, more families will be separated, more trauma will spread. >> one bay area jewish leader says he has mixed emotions over a potential permanent cease-fire. he says while he wants to see peace in the middle east, he is also concerned about the danger of hamas remaining intact. the world's richest man, elon musk, will meet with the families of some of those hostages in israel today. scott mcgrew continues our coverage this morning. musk will meet with the president of israel as well. >> herzog, and we know he's met with benjamin netanyahu, too. herzog is the number two guy in israel and the prime minister is
6:35 am
netanyahu. now, netanyahu first met with musk during a visit to the bay area in september and asked musk to condemn all anti-semitism on his website. musk simply responded that he was against all hate speech. but, laura, we now know that musk would go on to post on x, his website, support for an anti-semitic message. >> then there was the study from media matters on top of that. >> right, which found that anti-semitic and even pro-nazi content was appearing next to advertisers and it caused a lot of advertisers to flee x. it's fair to consider today's visit to israel kind of damage control. "the new york times" noting airbnb, microsoft, coca-cola, the latest to go, worried about associating with anti-semitism. the israeli government says the point of today's visit, musk visiting israel, is, quote, it's about the need to curb online anti-semitism. he's touring a kibbutz right now, one of the slaughters by
6:36 am
hamas. he's not posted anything to x yet. he's written actions speak louder than words. but, laura, to point out the absurdity of this idea that he's there to fight anti-semitism, when he has been accused of it so much himself, hopefully he'll be learning about this. because his actions are important, but his words influence a lot of people. >> sure do. >> and just underlying that it's for advertising dollars, too. >> there's definitely some damage control going on. >> big time. thanks. happening today, two south bay parents charged in the fentanyl related death of their toddler are scheduled to appear in court. derrick rio and kelly richardson are facing murder charges their 18-month-old daughter died at their home in august, after investigators say she ingested fentanyl and methamphetamine that her parents knowingly left nearby. authorities arrested richardson
6:37 am
last week. if convicted, the two could face 15 years to life in prison. new at 6:00, berkeley police crediting gps technology with helping lead to the weekend arrest of two theft suspects. officers posted the news on social media showing an image of a gps tracker deployed by alameda county deputies. the device helped track down a stolen vehicle involved in a robbery. police say the same suspects were wanted in connection with a series of other recent car thefts. happening now, cyber monday sales are under way and americans are expected to spend a record amount of money this year. >> "today in the bay"'s bob redell joins us live from an amazon fulfillment center in richmond, with more on how the company is working to keep up with a lot of that demand today. >> reporter: this facility is very unusual, the only one of its kind in the bay area that's able to turn orders around within 24 hours, if not sooner.
6:38 am
we've got jamie pope, who runs this facility. good morning to you. happy cyber monday. >> thanks, bob. >> what are you expecting today in terms of demand on your guys' end compared to what you saw this past friday, black friday? >> black friday we set a record, we did 20% more volume than we've ever done. this building launched last october. the customer wants more and more. in terms of our network, prime day was a month ago, we set another record. we expect to do similar volume today that we did on black friday. >> how do you prepare for a day like today? >> all year-round we're preparing because our customers don't care if it's christmas or not, they want their product all year around, the same time every day. right now -- really, preparations started about two months ago. we started hiring 150 or so seasonal employees. we have our full-timers and our flex gig economy associates. >> that's how you get these products out within 24 hours. can you give me the 30-second
6:39 am
elevator pitch of how it's done? >> same day, we can deliver within three to five hours. go online and say i want this item. it has the option to deliver within three to five hours. we have 100,000 of the fastest selling items inside of her. if it's in this facility, i can give it to you in three to five hours. if not, i have reach-back capability of 20 million items that i can reach back and deliver in the same day. prime subscribers. >> are you expecting today for the 24-hour business to be busier than, let's say, like the two-day prime? is there a way to compare? >> it's a different customer base. so our customer base, we serve the east bay area. >> 60-mile radius? >> that is correct. >> i said this earlier, you seem really nonplussed by this. are you stressed inside your head? you look calm outside. >> we were preparing for this all year long. i've been with amazon for three
6:40 am
years and i was in the army 20 years before. nothing really stresses me out. i've been leading people my whole life. we're ready to deliver for our customers. whether it's the hottest toys of the year, a pair of socks, or the last christmas decoration, our customers expect it to be delivered to their doorstep on time. this season is no different. >> jamie, appreciate it. we're in one of the loading bays, and we didn't see this because we were late. we got here at 4:00. at 3:30 this morning, all of these spots were filled with product and that was their rush hour, 3:30 in the morning, getting these out the door. as you can imagine, people going to bed last night were wanting 24-hour delivery and making their orders at 10:00 or 11:00 at night and it turns out to be grand central. >> so many shoppers. it's amazing. >> and it will only continue throughout the day. >> it's amazing to see how it's really changed how people shop.
6:41 am
thank you, bob. we've got the holiday music in the background. we're taking a live look in san francisco where there will be holiday cheer later on. the sun looks like it's coming up and looking really beautiful. i love that shot of san francisco with the transamerica building. meteorologist kari hall, it's looking clear and beautiful, but cold. >> yeah, it is cold. you can see the moon as well. that full moon, that's what's causing these higher than normal tides for the coastline. later this morning, we are going to continue with mostly sunny skies. it's a chilly start. take a look at our trend, for san francisco, it's at 48 degrees, and then we'll be in the low 60s and they'll be lighting up the tree in the castro this evening. it will be 57, so make sure you're wearing extra layers because the temperature will be dropping quickly. some of us only make it into the low 60s for the east bay today, reaching 62 degrees in concord and dublin, as well as livermore, and upper 60s for
6:42 am
much of the south bay into the peninsula. mike, you're seeing more slowing in the tri-valley? because of the persistent crash in the center divide, 680, around the sunol exit. we do see a build for 880 and slowing across the san mateo bridge. nothing as severe as this coming toward sunol, out of pleasanton. i think they may have cleared some of the activity. they have not yet cleared this in walnut creek, south 680. a tow truck is here and another truck did actually unload, i believe, the first truck. there were two trucks for a period of time. south 680 at the 24/680 split right there. traffic is able to get by all right. the slowing actually comes past the area heading through lafayette. watch that. no major issues, a very smooth drive heading over to the area. remember the lower manzanita park and ride is closed for high tides. back to you. >> thanks a lot, mike. a controversial house lawmaker may be hours from being ousted. coming up, the accusations leaving representative george

good monday morning. it is back to work and a cold start. some of us freezing before you step out the door. take a look at our current temperatures. it is 27 in vacaville and 30 in dublin. make sure you bundle up. we'll talk about when we could see some rain coming up in a few minutes. and no train for 146 between san jose diridon and tamien station. they're working on an electrification project. >> thank you so much. it is a quarter until 7:00 right now. former first lady rosalynn carter will be laid to rest this week. the ceremony started with a wreath laying at georgia southwestern state university. the former first lady will then be taken to the jimmy carter presidential library. tomorrow the carter motorcade will move to glenn memorial church. the funeral service will be held on wednesday in plains, georgia.

president joe biden and the first lady will attend that service. president joe biden also announcing new ways to protect the supply chain today. >> scott mcgrew, a recent study from the san francisco fed said it was problems with the supply chain that led to most of last year's massive inflation. >> that's a welcome report, if you are the white house. the white house likes this, because it takes a majority of the blame off government spending and puts it on the supply chain. you don't have to be a fed governor to figure out all those problems getting products into the country was going to drive up prices, supply and demand certainly the first thing they teach you in high school economics. the president today will announce a cabinet level supply chain commission that will regularly report the health of the supply chain the way the defense department regularly reports to him the readiness of u.s. troops. the biggest focus today will be on the supply of drugs and pharmaceuticals. the white house, meantime, praising an extension of the
6:48 am
cease-fire in israel, or hoping for one, anyway. it says it continues to monitor the release of hostages by hamas. here is the president over the weekend as an israeli american child was set free. >> abigail was among 13 hostages released today from gaza under the brokered and sustained, though intensive u.s. diplomacy. she's now safely in israel and we continue to press and expect for additional americans will be released as well. we will not stop working until every hostage is returned to their loved ones. congress returns from its long weekend tomorrow, could vote to oust new york congressman george santos as soon as this week. the house ethics committee says santos used money from donors at expensive clothing boutiques, plus santos faces very serious criminal charges as well. >> and pretend like none of us know what's going on, this [ bleep ] happens every single week. where are the ethics
6:49 am
investigations in that? >> the biggest task for congress is going to be funding the government. it feels like we're always saying that because we are always saying that. when congress pulls us back from the brink, it leaves us awfully close to the brink. on a happier note, the white house has released the first pictures of the new christmas decorations. the first lady will show it off today in a big tour, magic, wonder and joy is the theme. a fair question as we struggle to fund the government, who pays for all of this? the answer is it's complicated. the white house is partly run by the park service, which buys the trees. the white house has a budget from congress to run the facility. and there's tax money and there's private donations. ginger, it depends on whether it's the democrats or the republicans in the white house, but the other side always says, you're spending too much money. >> i can see that. i can see why they would say that. a heads-up for cyclists and pedestrians planning to use a portion of the san francisco bay
6:50 am
trail today, you may need to make alternate plans. part of the trail will be closed beginning today in a section in redwood city. the trail will be closed between bear island road and twin dolphin drive from 7:00 this morning until 4:00 this afternoon. caltrans crews are shutting down that part of the trail so they can work on replacing an old bridge who was built in the 1930s and in need of repair. now, trending this morning, a very lucky mistake is leading to a big payday for an illinois man. how come this hasn't happened to me? >> this is all from the lottery ticket that he purchased in michigan. he says he normally drives there every few weeks to eat at his favorite restaurant and he normally buys a lotto ticket during the trip. typically he gets 10 or 20 chances all at once. but in september, a gas station clerk accidently gave him 10 chances on two tickets. that mistake really paid off.
6:51 am
he won $25,000 a year for life. as a result, the michigan lottery says he decided to take the lump some of nearly $400,000. because it broke it up, instead of one, i guess he feels like it was lucky. >> i wonder what commission he's giving to the clerk that made a mistake. >> yeah, my mom once got a ticket that was a mistake and she was, like, no, no, no, don't put them back, just in case those are the winners. >> did she win? >> no. >> but she would have been, you know, a news story. >> it's like at the casino, if anybody uses a slot machine and you stop using it, just walk away. you never want to be next to it and see someone come sit down and win. i'm bitter like that. i warmed it up for you. >> we need something to warm us up. yes, it is cold, but we've also seen a full moon this morning. take a look at this beautiful
6:52 am
view. and we've seen this for our sunrises and sunsets. i mean, it is so nice. but we know that full moon, especially as we get into the winter months, can cause the tides to be a lot higher than normal. we're expecting coasting flooding, some bay flooding as a result of that astronomical tide, the full moon we're seeing right now. as of now, it is nice and quiet, a clear start as we take a look at dublin. at 10:00 we're at 52 degrees, after starting out near freezing, and then going throughout the day we only make it into the low 60s. then we're right back down as the sun sets and we go into the evening with low 40s. we're going to see temperatures today in parts of the east bay reach 66 in dublin, san mateo, hayward, as well as fremont. we're seeing mid-60s and upper 60s for the south bay. we take it into tomorrow and there isn't much of a change temperature-wise. then on wednesday, notice how much cooler it's going to be. only in the mid-50s in the interior east bay, much of the
6:53 am
north bay. this is as we get more clouds and even the possibility of rain. so let's go through the timeline of the rain, because we're dry today, and then late tomorrow night into early wednesday we start to see showers moving into the coast and parts of the north bay. we may see spotty showers. this is not a really big widespread heavy rain. it's going to be kind of off and on for a couple of days through the middle of the week and then we are going to see it quickly rolling out. so parts of the bay area may not see much at all as far as how much rain we could see, with the possibility of about a tenth to a quarter inch of rain. it looks to be a little higher for the santa cruz mountains, up to a half inch of rain. going toward the middle to end of the week, a lot of the storm systems will stay to our north. so, unfortunately, with this chance of rain for the weekend, it is just to the north of the bay area. but a slight shift in that could change our forecast as we get closer. so we'll be watching that. taking a look at our seven-day
6:54 am
forecast, inland areas reaching into the low 60s and mornings in the low 40s. san francisco will see highs only in the mid-50s midweek. mike, you're seeing some more slowing in the south bay. >> it's not quite evident from this live camera, which indicates that things are lighter than your typical monday. we're seeing slowing popping up over the last 90 seconds on 87, as well as 101 and 237. we still have this persistent issue, this crash that slows you down through sunol. back to you. >> thank you very much. well, happening now, authorities on the peninsula have not yet named the 54-year-old man and his 5-year-old granddaughter who died tragically over the weekend when they were swept out to sea. it happened saturday at martin's beach south of half moon bay. rescuers did manage to pull the girl from the water, but she didn't survive. the teams called off the search for her grandfather yesterday. next, a quick look at the top stories, including hostages freed. the growing push to extend the cease-fire between israel and

welcome back. we are moving you forward with a look at this morning's top stories. >> first, israel and hamas are now in the final hours of a mutual cease-fire. this is a live look at the israel and gaza border. president joe biden is among those pushing for the pause in fighting to be extended. hamas yesterday released 17 hostages, including a 4-year-old american girl. in exchange, officials say israel released 39 palestinian
6:59 am
prisoners, all of whom are minors. meanwhile, oakland leaders this afternoon are planning to hold a special session to debate a resolution calling for a permanent cease-fire. the city council's proposal also calls for the release of all hostages and unrestricted humanitarian aid to gaza. supporters claim the resolution does not include specifics or assign blame to either side. starting today, san francisco is cracking down on illegal street vendors. the city is imposing a ban on street vending along mission street. leaders say it's an emergency response after a spike in crime and stolen items being sold in the area. permitted vendors say they're being unfairly targeted by the ban. but the city says vendors will still be allowed to set up on any other street in the area, just not mission street. it's a cold start to this monday morning, although it looks beautiful outside. >> it does look beautiful. it is all clear. we're even below freezing in a lot of our valleys. we make it to the upper 60s
