fresno, monterey. that means impacts could be likely through the grapevine commute, the stretch through frazier park. we'll see it trek down to southern california. by 2:30 the majority of the rain clears out. we'll keep some of the cloud cover, but things are looking better, especially once we see 70s later this week. along with the rain, when it comes through, as you showed at the golden gate bridge, we have wet pavement, water kicking up behind the cars and slowing sensors that lasted for three or four minutes, southbound 101. no more problems, it cleared up nicely. you saw the volume, very manageable. predictable from the north bay into san francisco. from the east bay into san francisco, also, predicting the volume coming from the oakland toll plaza, it's a smooth flow of traffic as traffic flows down the eastshore freeway and out of the maze without any major issues. green highlighting all around. wet pavement. highway 4 holding steady over the last 20 minutes.

california avenue in san pablo. as you can see in the surveillance video i mentioned, the suspect is getting into the driver's seat of the car that she allegedly stole. it's not clear if she knew the 2-year-old child was also inside the vehicle. the car belongs to the mother of the child, who told us off camera she left the driver's door open and the car running so she could quickly drop off something at her mother's house. police did locate the stolen car within about 20 minutes in the city of richmond. >> it's incredibly unnerving, and we're extremely thankful that in this particular incident the child wasn't harmed. >> reporter: the child, as you heard, was not harmed, was reunited with her family. the suspect, 35-year-old joy taueetia, allegedly stole the victim's cell phone, which helped police locate her and the child. taueetia is now booked in jail in contra costa county facing vehicle theft and kidnapping charges. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay."

as of today, we're looking at 100% or more of historical average. so those latest winter storms definitely helped boost those reservoirs. coming up, we'll take a look at the snowpack. let's get a check of traffic. >> filling up the tank. i'll cover the tank. the best price in santa clara is again in sunnyvale and $4.07. today we're going to call out great gas on north matilda for the top price. in solano county, vallejo for the second day, their best deal, $4.19, central gas on springs road. that's the middle number. and the east bay, let's check out san pablo's high performance gasoline, it's called high performance gasoline, $4.27, the lowest price. thanks for reporting and sharing on gasbuddy.com. we'll share with you the roadways right now, wet roadways. the green highlighting is still there. it's around the bay. it's still going on and moving through the area, south bay getting pretty wet right now. looking across the bay bridge and richmond bridge, we have a

it is 6:13 right now. here is a closer look at your dublin planner. we have light rain moving through, but it looks like by 9:00 a.m., conditions should get a lot better as far as rain goes. we're going to keep the cloud cover. daytime highs in the 50s and 60s. full forecast coming up. light rain on the san mateo bridge, but not light traffic. it's starting to build with taillights westbound, your commute, over to the foster city side, including the high-rise. we'll show you how things are building up as you approach the san mateo bridge and we'll talk about the traffic break for the carquinez bridge. good morning. happy tuesday to you. we just got the latest data on

inflation. the consumer price index. prices up 3.2% from this time last year, way down from highs of 9% or worse. we'll talk more about that in a second. in the meantime, airbnb says no more security cameras in its rentals inside, and the price of bitcoin is now above 71,000. that gives the made-up money's total market cap, its value added altogether, a value higher than facebook, higher than berkshire hathaway. it is now the eighth most valuable financial asset in the world. in fact, if you took all the silver in the world, all the silver in the mines, around people's necks and wrists and grandma's teapot, added that altogether, the total value of bitcoin at $1.4 trillion would be higher than all the silver in the world. now, that's probably going to attract more investors into bitcoin, but there are differences. silver does things. you can make a teapot out of it.

bitcoin generally not used for anything. you could buy a coffee in a coffee shop that takes bitcoin, but you don't have your bitcoin anymore, which is why we care so much about the dollar of the -- value of the dollar. almost all of the inflation came with rent and gasoline expenses. grocery prices did not go up. southwest warning it may have scheduling problems if it can't get enough new boeing airplanes. boeing has run into all kinds of trouble, including a new faa report that says boeing failed 33 out of 89 quality control audits. southwest flies several types of 737s and nothing else. the house moving ahead with a vote on a ban on tiktok, if tiktok's parent company doesn't make major changes to server its relationship with china. president biden says he supports the bill.

former president donald trump waffled on the issue in an interview yesterday saying he worried about the security risk of tiktok, but that banning it would give facebook more users, which he opposes. trump also said he was willing to cut entitlement programs like social security and medicare, but then his campaign quickly reversed that. so two bits of news made that trump does and then does not support cutting entitlements, and trump does not, but somewhat does support a ban on tiktok. i'm not blaming trump. i'm blaming the format of the interviews. when he calls into a tv show and "morning joe" used to do this all the time, rarely do they fact check him. he either misunderstands the question or over the phone there can be misunderstandings, and you end up with this, what position does he have? i just don't think it's a good format for interviewing presidential candidates. >> it's not the first time. >> not his last time. >> thanks, scott.

new data shows teens and their parents are spending too much time on their phones. that's according to a study done by pugh research center. researchers surveyed 1,500 teens and nearly half of teens say they feel anxious when they don't have their phone. when they have it, they say it's easier to pursue hobbies and interests. they say it's also affecting parents' conversations with their kids. >> do you think your mom gets distracted in a conversation? >> i think she thinks it's less than it definitely is, because i think it's a good bit and i think she would say it would be lower than what it actually is. >> what do you say, mom? >> it's probably true. >> calling out mom there. ahead this morning on "today," a closer look at the new report, including how teens and parents are approaching screen time. it's all coming up on "today."

new at 6:00, a california developer taking its talents to the midwest in hopes of making history. so construction is expected to begin in september in oklahoma city on what is expected to be a tallest skyscraper in the u.s. its developer says that it's building the tower and three smaller ones near it and funding was just secured at $1.5 billion. in addition to the tallest in the u.s., the building would be the fifth tallest in the world at 1,900 feet. the salesforce here in san francisco, 1,070. >> i hope you're not afraid of heights. >> or tornadoes. 6:19 now, and attention to all disney fans out there. >> happiest place on earth could be getting a $2 billion upgrade. disney planning a ten-year project to expand its theme park in southern california. it's waiting for approval from the anaheim planning commission. the idea is to build a more

immersive attraction like walking through "frozen" and the theme park wants to use one of its own 50-acre parking lots for the new attraction. it would be the first major expansion project since the 1990s. >> all i heard was you're taking away parking. >> they charge you a lot for parking. they'll find a way to get you parking. it would be nice and magical. i think it's magical and i see tinkerbell around the castle. >> maybe we can get her to come for your birthday on friday. >> imagine. hopefully she's got a raincoat on. fairies are just graceful like that. they're going to be getting pleasant weather this weekend. spring is right around the corner, the temperatures are going to showcase that. we're talking 70s on the map. stormranger, look at this, we do have a decent amount of rain pushing in through central

california. some heavier pockets right now through fresno. for us locally, a lot of that is light and it's going to remain light. i do want to bring your attention toward the sierra because if you have any sort of plans, notice here along 80, 50, we are dealing with gusty winds, along with a winter weather advisory. so you may want to take some time to let that storm system pass before heading up. this weekend, tahoe is going to be stunning. wind gusts are also going to be picking up in san francisco, 29 plus, oakland 27 plus. that's because as the cold front moves through you'll definitely notice the breeze kicking up at times for the south bay. and speaking of lake tahoe, this is a live look. it's about 34 degrees. you heard me mentioning the winter weather advisory, but i wanted to highlight not only the sierra stretch, in addition to that maybe you're road tripping further north, making your way to portland or oregon, you'll definitely be encountering conditions where we could see wintery mixes up there as well. so be mindful this is going to

remain in effect until 10:00 a.m. tomorrow. so let's take a look at how the sierra snowpack is doing. we had an impressive blizzard, dumped a ton of snow in a short period of time. right now everything from the north down to central is over 100%. south is at about 94. but statewide average is at 104%. for perspective, just last year we were at 199%, so, yes, we did see more snowfall last year during the rain year, but so far we're doing okay as far as the statewide average goes. now, what's ahead is going to be a series of stretches of daytime highs in the 70s. here is the high pressure rolling through. once the dry offshore wind picks up, we get a warmer thursday leading us into the weekend. look how clear the skies are expected to be this weekend, into saturday and sunday. right now, because of the rain that we got, we are also seeing very good numbers when it comes

to the water rain year. almost a surplus of 6 inches. and typically san jose gets rain shadowed by the santa cruz mountains. even in the south bay we're talking about 3 inches there, which means percentage-wise we're at 136% for santa rosa, 161% for san francisco, and 126% for san jose. so we're doing very well when it comes to that. remember, we're no longer in a drought for the state of california. but you'll definitely notice the warming saturday into sunday for san francisco. look at this to look forward to. man, 75 by friday, 76 by sunday. >> that looks good. this, it's okay. the bay bridge toll plaza, the backup is standard and the wet lens, that's what you'll encounter, slicker roadways. vianey is talking about scattered showers, so just use caution. traffic is moderating itself pretty well. you can go close to the speed limit in most spots, but go as

safe as conditions allow. slowing down the eastshore freeway, out of richmond, across highway 37. the carquinez bridge, the traffic break, whatever was going on cleared to the shoulder. but there is a crash in the north bay. watch highway 29, 121 and 12. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 6:23 right now. no staff is hardly a problem most of the time. how long will he be out with this injured ankle? the latest hint from the warriors head coach steve kerr. first, are you registered to vote? our sister station telemundo 48 has teamed up to answer all questions about registering to vote for the presidential elections. today you can call from 9:00 this morning until 6

the 49ers quarterback room will look different next season after the abrupt departure of backup sam darnold. darnold reportedly signed a new deal with minnesota yesterday during the first day of the league's free agency window. that means he's officially one and done for the niners. having joined the team last season for a chance to back up brock purdy. darnold threw passes in five games and started the final game of the season, a meaningless loss to the rams. doctors later today are expected to reassess steph curry's ankle injury, but coach steve kerr late yesterday said

he does not expect curry to return for tomorrow's game against dallas. now, the warriors did just fine without steph last night, avenging a weekend loss at home to the spurs. kuminga scored a high of 22 and put the warriors up late in the game. then davis, everything rookie. the warriors beat the spurs 112-102. we've got a lot more ahead this morning, include ago highly watched murder case heading back to court. >> reporter: you might be wondering why scott peterson could get a new trial. the l.a. innocence project will appear before a judge today to ask to see some key evidence. they say perhaps it was not

business. it's not a nine-to-five proposition. it's all day and into the night. it's all the things that keep this world turning. it's the go-tos that keep us going. the places we cheer. trust. hang out. and check in. they all choose the advanced network solutions and round the clock partnership from comcast business. powering more businesses than anyone. powering possibilities.

this may not change the outcome for scott peterson, but the fact that the innocence project has jumped in on this case and said, we want to take a look, i think speaks volumes. >> right now at 6:30, the innocence project today asking a judge to take over scott peterson's case, 20 years after his conviction. we'll take a closer look at what's likely to play out in court. pass or fail? an all new report card is out this morning for major

automakers and their self-driving features. the marks that may make you pump the brakes on buying your next car. and a wet commute across the bay area. we're tracking the impact on traffic this morning. and guess what? there's actually a warm-up headed our way. we'll talk about it. this is "today in the bay." >> we need a squeegee. >> you said a warm-up. >> you heard what i said. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. let's get things over to meteorologist vianey arana tracking that rain that is heading out. we're ready for the warm-up. >> i love how you give me a shimmy for the weather. any time there's a storm, why? but there's sunshine on the way. the system is moving really fast, so anywhere we've seen light to moderate rain on stormranger, a lot of the emphasis now is down through parts of the south bay, monterey, stretching through central california near fresno, and also through the sierra. your temperature trend for this

afternoon, we're starting out in the 50s, and notice in san jose, until about 8:00, 9:00 a.m., we'll keep a chance for scattered activity. and then it does look like we'll get a couple of cells that move through around noon. so it looks like by the time 1:00, 2:00 rolls around, the majority of the rain will be pushed further south and we should be in the clear as far as rain goes. we'll keep the cloud cover around in san francisco, getting some of that light rain pushing through. by 12:00, 1:00, we'll get peeks of sunshine. and then we've got a warm-up on the way. we'll talk more detail in just a minute. new developments in the high-profile case of scott peterson, which has been in the headlines for two decades. he's due back in court today as the los angeles innocence project has asked to take a look at the case. the legal nonprofit wants to make sure his civil rights were not violated. "today in the bay"'s kris sanchez joins us outside of the courthouse this morning. this doesn't necessarily mean that the innocence project

itself believes that he's innocent? >> reporter: no, based on what we've seen, the l.a. innocence project wants to make sure all of the evidence that could have been presented at the first trial was presented, and we expect that the judge today will set a timeline for when the l.a. innocence project will get to see what they are allowed to see. now, scott peterson's team did ask the l.a. innocence project to take a look at the case with fresh eyes, and what they saw based on what came from the defense, they believe that there's a possibility that there might have been evidence or maybe witnesses that weren't presented in the first trial which could have had an impact on the case. on top of that, we know that there is dna technology that has advanced and there could be evidence that wasn't a factor back then, but could be a factor now 20 years after scott peterson was convicted of killing his pregnant wife laci. the innocence project detailed filing shows photos of a

burned-out van found near the petersons' modesto home around the time laci disappeared. >> they've obviously looked at the scott peterson defense file and now they want to go back and look at the underlying law enforcement files and d.a. files to ensure that everything was provided to scott peterson's defense team, and they also want to start by re-interviewing some of those witnesses that weren't called at trial and they want to look at this forensic evidence that could lead them to believe that laci may still have been alive, and was she seen after scott peterson went fishing. >> reporter: and you might remember that was part of scott peterson's alibi. we will be inside the san mateo county superior courtroom while this is unfolding. scott peterson will not be. he is appearing via zoom. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> it will be interesting to see what happens.

thank you so much. well, today sonoma county supervisors will hold an unusual debate on whether to consider declaring racism a public health crisis. now, the county's health department proposed that resolution, suggesting black people's lives are ten years shorter on average than other racial and ethnic groups countywide. the department adds black and latino children are more than twice as likely to live in poverty. the resolution does not ask for additional money or to redirect existing funds. also today, san francisco supervisors will consider a resolution supporting the state proposal to track the presence of opioids in wastewater. this is part of an effort to understand the flow of narcotics into communities and reduce overdoses from drugs, including fentanyl. san francisco and marin are already experimenting with similar strategy. new this morning, a new insurance industry report is out grading the major carmakers' assisted driving systems, and let's say there's still a lot of

work to be done. >> ginger conejero saab is in the newsroom today. what should anyone with autopilot system know about this? >> reporter: listen, the institute for highway safety conducted this study and found when it comes to tesla's autopilot system, there is no evidence of it or any other assisted driving systems providing real world safety benefits. tesla is not commenting on the new findings, but in the past it said its autopilot system is about ten times safer than the u.s. average. in all, researchers tested 14 systems and only one earns an acceptable rating, two are rated marginal, and 11 are rated poor. iihs president says, quote, most of them don't include adequate measures to prevent misuse and keep drivers from losing focus on what's happening on the road. the iihs looked at key elements from partial automation systems, 14 systems, including those from bmw, ford, gm, genesis, lexus,

mercedes-benz, tesla and volvo and looked at driver monitor, attention reminders, emergency procedures and safety features. the shortcome, vary. here are what the marks look like for tesla's autopilot system for its 2021 model 3. they can receive good, acceptable, marginal or poor. you're seeing the report card. the overall rating is poor, so is driver monitoring, attention reminders, acc resume and other features. it received positive marks for emergency procedures and lane change. the goal is to encourage automakers to have more robust safeguards. the scores are from a battery of tests. some performance areas weighing more heavily than others and the results are worrying. the silver lining is that quick fixes can be made, and sometimes it's just as easy and quick as a

software upgrade. so there's hope. >> good to know. thank you so much, ginger. a new review by the federal transit administration reportedly increases the total cost of b.a.r.t. extending to san jose by another $600 million. in the bigger picture, that's really just a small chunk of change compared to the ballooning overall cost. last year the vta put a new price tag on the project of more than $12 billion, about triple the initial estimates when the project was first unveiled a decade ago. the federal review also pushed the opening out another seven months to 2037. when the first plans were unveiled, vta envisioned a 2026 opening. let's take a live look this morning at walnut creek. nice and calm out there this morning. weather-wise, is it going to stay that way? meteorologist vianey arana has been tracking what we can expect. is rain still coming down in that area? >> it is, but very light. and we are on our way to much

more stable weather. we've first got to get through this cold front. it's a weaker storm. if you look at our cameras, san jose at 53 degrees, wind speeds nice and light. as the cold front continues to move through, we are expecting to see wind speeds pick up, 20, 25 plus, especially around the coastline into this afternoon. we have high pressure that's going to start to move in on wednesday and set us up for a stretch of temperatures in the 70s. i wanted to give you the temperature outlook. this is extending into the next ten days. the key colors for the state of california, we're talking about not only above average temperatures expected, but well above average temperatures expected for the state of california, and a large portion of the east coast. so we've definitely got some 70s expected. i'll give you a look at your seven-day forecast in a bit. let's check in with mike. >> san jose, earlier we had wetter roads and a lot more traffic volume. it's just starting to rebuild,

we have the morning commute hitting and sticking. over here, 101 moves smoothly on the sensors. there's slowing that's starting to build toward oakland road and another batch of slowing toward the airport. 87 shows the slowing over the last few toward taylor. 237 shows more volume off of 880, so that's a typical pattern for the south bay. same for the east bay right now. this is looking toward the weekend, but i'm going to hit this hard because i think this time it's going to happen for real. this was scheduled twice before, this is southbound 680, the closure all weekend starting friday night until monday morning at 4:00 a.m., 680 south from 580 toward sunol. your reroute will have to be, if you're heading across, just east of the freeway you're going to take 84 or go over the dublin grade, a longer drive. it got waved off, but this weekend's weather looks like they can do it. >> you can do it. back on earth, a group of astronauts back home after months in space. we're going to show you the incredible moment they landed.

the special counsel who investigated president biden is on capitol hill right now. we have an advanced copy of his testimony. it's going to be a tough day for robert hur. and the oscars may be over, but you can experience some of the glamour from the red carpet here at home. the gowns wor byn

prosecuted. there are huge differences in the cases, biden and vice president pence appear to have kept a small number of documents by accident. trump's lawyers say trump told them to tell the courts his documents didn't exist, even as witnesses and videotape show the documents being moved from within the mar-a-lago facility. there are primary elections today in hawaii, washington, mississippi and georgia. once biden and trump win those delegates, they'll both have enough delegates to make sure they're the nominees. >> this year medicare is negotiating lower prices for some of the costly drugs on the market that treat everything from heart disease to arthritis. that's in the law we've already passed. now it's time to go further and give medicare the power to negotiate lower prices for more drugs over the next decade. >> president biden campaigning in new hampshire yesterday. he will meet with teamsters today. former president trump's lawyers have asked for a delay in the trial where he's accused of
