7:00 am
good morning. it is sunday, march 10th, 7:00. dark outside because at this
7:01 am
time yesterday, it was 6:00. you have hopefully awoken not grumpy, sprung your clocks an hour forward. thank you for starting your morning with us. i'm kira klapper. cinthia pimentel has a look at our microclimate forecast. we have not seen a dark 7:00 a.m. in quite sometime. it was hard to weak up today. >> you know, we're morning news people. we just get up and go. maybe it will come to us tomorrow. good morning, everyone. we're starting off in san jose with a few clouds as we try to get the peeks of the sun rise. over the golden gat bridge, a little foggy, but as we go into today, more cloud cover settling into parts of the bay area. starting off in the 40s. by lunchtime, you'll feel the breeze picking up under all that cloud cover as we await our next rain chance later on tonight. it will start first in the north bay and sweep on through as the majority of us go to bed tonight and settle in to start our workweek ahead.
7:02 am
speaking of the workweek, the next rain chance will be monday night and tuesday. that will be it for a while. we're talking about 70s, possibly the 80s, and offshore wind event. that's coming up in about ten minutes. >> love the sound of that, cinthia. thanks. now to firefighters who spent hours to put out flames yesterday in a san jose garage. the smoke so thick it drifted over a nearby freeway. it happened in a neighborhood not far from valley fair mall. as marianne favro reports, the fire was big enough to force some neighbors to stay inside their homes. >> reporter: when she saw flames ripping through the garage of her neighbor's garage, she called 911. >> lots of loud smoke, a loud bang, and lots of fire. it was huge. it was scary. >> reporter: wanda hall lives across the street.
7:03 am
>> i kept hearing these booms right after each other. >> reporter: she showed us how she used her cane to get onlookers to clear the way so fire trucks could get through. her biggest concern -- >> that house exploding. and the fire coming across the street. >> reporter: firefighters say the garage was filled with materials used to install flooring. >> the garage contained several chemicals, propane tanks, torching tanks. it took an expensive amount of time to get the fire under control. >> reporter: about 50 san jose firefighters responded, including the hazardous incident response team, which collected samples of the runoff water to analyze. firefighters bat lted the flames from a distance, using ladder trucks as smoke slowed traffic on i-880. fortunately no one was hurt. now investigators are trying to determine the cause of the fire.
7:04 am
marianne favro, "today in the bay." we have new developments in the case of a convicted killer up for parole who now will not be release for weeks, we have been following the fight to keep royce milner prison. the family say they were shocked to learn just last month that miller would soon walk free after 17 years in prison, but now, miller will not be paroled. on friday, governor newsom's office overturned the parole board recommendation. danner was a student at lincoln high school when she was killed in 2004. miller was convicted of second degree murder. san francisco d.a. brook jenkins said the assistant d.a. who spoke in favor of miller's release, is no longer employed by her office. turning now to a march across the golden gate bridge
7:05 am
yesterday was peaceful as the group was protesting. code pink organized the demonstration over two main messages. calling for an immediate cease-fire in gaza, as well as an end to military aid to israel, and they also focused on women's reproductive rights in gaza, as well as the right to safety and security there. march is women's history month, and all month long, nbc bay area is celebrating the contributions of women to our daily lives. marcus washington introduces us to a group of women from all different backgrounds, working together to make a difference for women's safety across the globe. >> reporter: good morning. we're just coming off of celebrating international women's day, as we honor women's history all month long. we are spotlighting one activist group looking to amplify women's voices called the collective. it's a grassroot organization of muslim and jewish women, coming together to encourage dialogue
7:06 am
surrounding the war in the middle east and the perceived silence among some leaders in condemning violence against women. they point out to the terrorist attacks on october 7. one member says that women should not wait to speak out. >> we know how iran is treating their women today. they're being killed in prison, raped for wearing -- not wearing a head scarf. so the challenges for women are a lot, and on this international women's day, let us seriously ask some questions, what are we doing about rape and victim of the jewish women particularly? and who is speaking out about it? >> reporter: she says that women cannot afford to stand still on social issues. the collective reminds women to always use their voice standing up for what they believe. you can get stories like this monday through friday on "today in the bay." we start at 5:00 a.m. on air and watch nbc bay area news whenever

7:08 am
interview, he expressed regret for his choice of words during last word's state of the union address. during his speech, he said the word "illegal" when referring to an undocumented immigrant charged with killing nursing student laken riley in georgia. >> i shouldn't have used illegal. it's undocumented. and look, when i spoke about the difference between trump and me, one of the things i talked about on the border was that his -- the way he talks about vermin and these people polluting the blood. what i won't do, i'm not going to treat any of these people with disrespect. >> both joe biden and former president trump rallied yesterday in the battleground state of georgia. before trump's rally, he met with laken riley's parents. a senior adviser for the trump campaign told reporter that joe biden should be apologizing to the riley family for a lax border policy instead of apologizing for using the word
7:09 am
"illegal." back here in the bay area, a beloved restaurant in a historic building in the castro district served its final dinner last night. alyssa gord was there as regulars raised their martini glasses to celebrate the restaurant's more than two-decade run and shared their hopes for the future. >> reporter: on market street in the castro, people lined up for a final night at catch, a restaurant and bar that's been there 22 years. >> we literally have been sold out every single night for the last two weeks. >> reporter: the owner says he made the tough decision to retire. >> i have to hang up my spatula, as they say. >> oh, my god! >> reporter: old co-workers returned for hugs and regulars toasted with martinis and seafood stew. >> i'm going to miss this place. i don't know what to do. >> 22 years is a long life. you have to do a lot of things right to sustain that. >> we enjoy having them in our

7:12 am
7:13 am
welcome back. the california senate seat left open by the late senator dianne feinstein will be filled by one of two people. either congressman adam schiff or former mlb star steve garvey. they were the top two vote getters in the senate race on super tuesday. please join me in welcoming kristen welker, moderator of "meet the press." so great to see you as always. it's interesting to note that a
7:14 am
republican, steve garvey, garnered nearly as many votes as a democrat, adam schiff, in a typically blue state of california. you have an exclusive interview with schiff this morning. i'm wondering what is his outlook in securing that senate seat, as well as the democrat's overall battle to hold their majority in the senate? >> great question. look, i put it basically what you just said to congressman adam schiff. i said look, you poured millions into attack ads against steve garvey, basically elevating him over all of schiff's democratic rivals. that was strategic, because it is a blue state, and he thinks steve garvey than any of those other democrats. the challenge and the criticism is, did that not hurt other races, other seats? did that not hurt, quite frankly, democrat chances of trying to win back the house? he insists that is not the case.
7:15 am
he says what he did elevated democrats across the board. so he's quite bullish in that regard. it's clear he plans to big into that. it's clear he plans to run not just against steve garvey, but also against former president trump. he was quite forceful in terms of his opposition to some of those policies. so you can anticipate, i expect, that he is going to run in alignment with joe biden as he tries to win that senate seat, kira. >> and probably bringing up the fact that he spearheaded that first impeachment trial against trump. >> absolutely. >> we look forward to your interview this morning. we'll see you in a bit. thanks for your time. we hope you join kristen for this morning's "meet the press." she'll have interviews with adam schiff and south carolina senator lindsey graham and interview georgia senator raphael warnock. if you just stick with us for "today in the bay," "meet the press" is on at 8:00 a.m. right after this news cast.
7:16 am
coming up in about 30 minutes from now, we'll talk to nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston for our weekly segment. we'll explore the 2024 presidential election, turning into a repeat of 2020. the rematch between biden and trump, and the big ticket issues each is fighting for. meanwhile, joe biden defused fears of a partial government shutdown. the senate approved the $460 billion package before friday's midnight deadline as we told you yesterday morning. it will deep the department of justice, transportation, and other government agencies running through september. in a statement from the white house, he thanked leaders in both the senate and house for their leadership on the issue. there is a big push now to get kids of color interested in careers in the medical field. hundreds of middle and high school students of all
7:17 am
backgrounds gathered yesterday in cal state east bay's campus in hayward for a day-long summit. it was put on by kaiser and the organization black men in white coats. kids were invited to learn cpr, take work shops, listen to speakers and connect with counselors. >> it's been show that if you have physicians that look like you, that come from shared experiences, that patients engage more, they're more likely to come into appointments. our goal is through that shared culture, we can provide care that is culturally humble and appropriate, and in the end, it's to decrease the existing dispariies that we see in things like high blood pressure, cancer and other diseases. now, check out this line, if you can. maybe you were one of the thousands who waited in line yesterday. this is for the annual tulip day
7:18 am
in san francisco. more than 80,000 colorful flowers were set up in union square. people were able to pick out a free bouquet in honor of spring. organizers say last year about 35,000 people came out. >> last year, we came and we missed out because there were so many people. we gave up and just went to the store and got tulips. this year, we planned it a little better. it's stunning, what a great community thing to do. >> the union square alliance says the event is a bright spot for the area that's been dealing with challenges lately. tulip day kicked off union square in bloom, which marks spring with a floral display and a chance for people to support businesses in the area. just something about getting something for free that really makes you want to line up. time now to check in with cinthia pimentel for a look at our microclimate forecast. quite a nice day yesterday. >> and it's also free, the forecast. and even though that day is over, it's not too late for all the hubbies and all the partners
7:19 am
to still get flowers. well, we're still going to have a day to get out there and get your flowers, get your groceries while we stay mostly cloudy and dry for your sunday plans. san francisco, waking up to temperatures in the 40s, and we'll keep that cloud cover around with just a few peeks of sunshine as we go into this afternoon. the system right now is still to the north. similar as it was yesterday morning as then it will drop down giving us better rain chances as we go into this afternoon. the first thing you're going to feel is the wind. so make sure you're packing a light jacket and you run all of those errands. 15 to 20 miles an hour to start. gusty this afternoon, especially in the north bay, parts of the diablo range and through san francisco. even down into parts of sunnyvale and the santa cruz mountains. this will die down as we go into later on this evening. but then the rain will follow right behind that. so we're staying with the mostly cloudy day, and then the rain arrives as we go through the north bay.
7:20 am
mainly around dinnertime. it will come down through the east bay and peninsula by around bedtime and really an overnight thing. monday, clear for our commute and through the day to get our workweek started. but then it will be into the nighttime hours that we get another round of rain. this will sweep on through a bit quicker and just happen in the overnight hours. as we go into tuesday morning, a few spotty showers will remain and then it will clear up and that will be our last rain chance for a little bit. so how much are we looking at, as far as totals? as we take this timeline into tuesday, not going to be so significant san francisco south. most of that rain stays to the north bay, and about an inch as you make your way up into mendocino county. tahoe, you want to get there or back before the afternoon. we have this winter storm watch that goes into effect tonight and into tuesday. so plan ahead if you have spring break and you want to head up
7:21 am
there. notice how the low pressure and high pressure are near each other. this is going to be a bit of a clash and will become a bit of an offshore wind event as we go into wednesday and thursday. now, i would normally be very concerned about this, but with all of the storms that we've had, our fields are still pretty good. it will maybe dry them up just a little bit, but we're not so concerned as far as that wildfires go. so maybe just a chance here or there as you get yourself ready for this workweek ahead to make sure you have that defensible space. wrapping it up for you in our seven-day forecast, we see the rain arrive later tonight as well as monday night into tuesday. but following behind that, it will be some breezy days mixed in there with more sunshine. look at the temperatures just climb, kira, as the week goes on. 60s to upper 60s to mid 70s, maybe even some 80s as we go into the inland valleys. >> i don't want to jinx things, but i feel like winter went really quickly.
7:22 am
>> well, remember groundhog day and early spring, so he said. >> so he said. i guess he was right. we'll welcome that sunshine. cinthia, thanks. 7:21 right now. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, sharks fans got something they've all been waiting for. the losing streak is finally over. highlights from their win over ottawa, next in sports.

marine life. we turned our clocks forward overnight, and at the same time, some people feel that we may be going back in time. four years to be exact. with the looming rematch between joe biden and former president donald trump, will this election be more of the same or something different? nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston is here. great to see you, as always. so i know the answer to this already, but for our viewers, how unusual is it for a former american president to be running against the incumbent? very unusual. >> second time ever. second time in history. write notes now. in 1884, grover cleveland won the presidency. in 1888, it was harrison, and in 1892, cleveland came back against harrison, a former president, and cleveland won. will it happen this are year?
7:49 am
we don't know. this is the second time this has occurred. >> so a lot of people are groaning, you know, on the internet about this rematch. several polls have shown that as much as 70% of americans say they want to see someone else, a different candidate besides biden or trump. so how is it that we have them again, given that statistic? >> kira, i've heard so many times why haven't the democrats chosen this guy? why didn't the republican choose this guy? it's not as if there's a bunch of republicans or democrats who get into a corner and decide who will get the win or the nod. it happens through the primaries. you know this, it's the primaries. it turns out that nobody of stature decided to go against biden, and nobody really of enough stature went against trump. in fact, trump has a very solid hold on that party. the republicans love trump. so you put it together, and yeah, we've got more of the same, but guess what? that's what the voters selected,

like it or not. >> nikki haley stuck in for as long as she could. but it didn't work out. so how will these issues, you think, biden and trump, stack up against 2020, or will this be the same kind of issues they're running on? >> it's really not going to be the same. it's not going to be more of the same, despite what people might think. first of all, we had covid. nobody remembers covid anymore. it paralyzed the country and the way that president trump managed it. we have the economy then and it's now. immigration is a bigger issue now. inflation, of course, is a bigger issue now. and then we have these other questions looming out there. trump as his legal issues, number one. abortion, a big issue in 2022,
7:51 am
is it as big in 2024? the economy again is on the list. and then, of course, the question of democracy. so things are in some ways the thing, we're always talking about the economy for example. things are not going to necessarily be the same when we talk about what trump's legal issues are, the immigration question today, whether the abortion issue comes heavy. those are questions that may loom large. but there is good news. we have comparisons. apples and apples. we've watched the president before, trump. we've watched the president now, biden. people know what they're getting. >> well, that's true. that's a nice silver lining, if there is one. larry, great to see you. >> 7:52 right now. up next, a quick look at the stories, including flames tearing through a south bay garage. why the water use to put out the
