>> good thursday morning to you. thank you for joining us. it's 6:00 right now. i am laura garcia. i am marcus washington. getting us caught up with what is happening today, mike has a look at the commute. but first let's look at the forecast. kari hall has more on what we can expect. it's a gorgeous day, and on the weekend, we are going to have cooler and wetter weather coming in. we will take it in today as the sunshine continues, and also comfortable temperatures for the afternoon. it will become cloudy tomorrow with showers moving in and temperatures dropping with a chance of thunderstorms on saturday. now, a look at our highs for today, it's a few degrees above normal, in the upper 60s for the east bay. mid-60s for the peninsula into san francisco. the north bay in the upper 60s, but tomorrow we see the drop in those numbers as we see more clouds coming in and once again, rain for the afternoon.

we will talk more about the timeline coming up in a few minutes. mike, you are seeing one potential problem in the east bay? >> potential. the map is mostly green, and the sensors are what you would expect right now. we are watching for a possible problem for westbound 24. there's a disabled vehicle reported as you come out of arenda. we don't see slowing over the last few minutes, so i will think that everything is off to the shoulder. we will continue to track that because the volume will build out of the caldicot tunnel. all lanes are filled but you see there's movement. back to you. happening today, encouraging women to pursue a career in law enforcement. today in the bay's ginger conejero saab joins us live in san francisco this morning.

we're talking about whether the san francisco department there is very close to even reaching some of the goals, ginger. >> reporter: that's right, laura. good morning to you. there are some big goals for the san francisco sheriff's office, and they have work to do before reaching those numbers. the san francisco's sheriff's office is hosting the annual women leadership conference today, and it's a 30 by 30 pledge that is looking to increase the number of female deputies to 30% by 3030. currently they have 96 females, that counts for 13.3% of its sworn staff. the goal is to more than double that in the next six years. there are 624 males with 200 vacancies. the search sheriff's office assistant sheriff carter, recently spoke to "today in the bay," and she says recent

research shows the positive impact female deputies bring to the sheriff's office. it suggests female officers useless force and less excessive force, and they are named in fewer complaints and lawsuits, and see better outcomes for crime victims, especially in sexual assault cases. >> it's important that we have more females in our departments so that a victim of the heinous crimes have a person who looks like them, who represents them, that they feel more comfortable with, can come forward and share their stories. >> the women's leadership conference kicks off in several hours, this morning with 21 distinguished women from different law enforcement agencies across the bay area. they are taking the center stage to inspire the next generation of leaders in law enforcement. laura, it's timely as we continue to celebrate women's month, but as you heard from

assistant sheriff carter yourself, beyond women's month, today is about the representation. >> the full interview is on roku, other streaming platforms and on nbcbayarea.com. and overnight antony blinken back in the middle east and taking immediate steps to push for a cease-fire in gaza. brie jackson is live in washington this morning. what can we expect here, brie? >> good morning, marcus. the secretary of state spoke to a saudi arabian broadcaster yesterday and he said a u.s. issued a draft resolution to the u.n. security council for an immediate cease-fire tied to the release of hostages. this is blinken arriving on wednesday. the resolution is a big move as

the u.s. vetoed three previous u.n. resolutions, and blinken believes the deal is possible. it would include a pause in the fighting and a potential release of the hostages. >> that would bring immediate relief to so many people who are suffering in gaza, the children, the women, the men. it would allow a much greater expansion of humanitarian assistance getting to them, and it could create the conditions to have a lasting and enduring cease-fire. >> qatar would be mediating this. apparently, the negotiators are cautiously optimistic about this deal. >> brie, thank you.

new at 6:00, the chp releasing video of what was an air gun shooting two days ago in hayward. take a look at the video. there was a man driving his truck on 880 near interstate 238 when somebody in a gray car starts firing from an off-ramp. the driver was okay, but the truck was hit twice by projectiles. the chp said the video helped to track down the suspect and a replica gun they believe was used. offering $200,000 for information leading to an arrest in a brutal double murder eight years ago. a 27-year-old woman and a 54-year-old male were shot to death in the mission district on 16th street. the victims were homeless and

living in a wooden box on the sidewalk when somebody shot them. three years ago police first released this sketch of the suspect. they say if you have any information, you should call sfpd. so far teams are coming up empty in their search for a hiker. a woman left to carmel valley. they have search dogs and helicopters. and then a committee in san josé now raising money to restore one sign, and they are hoping to raise money to help other businesses keep their signs. >> if you just appreciate the

artistry of the sign, these things are landmarks that we are, unfortunately, starting to see them disappear. we think signs are just as important. >> meanwhile the city of san josé has also started a sign restoration program. it's all part of the storefront activation project. >> wow, a lot of memories. the drive-in, and all those -- remember that sausage one? we're taking a live look, and going to the east bay in walnut creek this morning, before the sun's arrival, a nice spring day on tap. get ready for change, according to kari. >> yeah, we welcomed in spring on tuesday, and then this weekend when we were hoping to enjoy spring, it will feel like winter outside. we have big changes coming our way. we are feeling mild air, and our temperatures for the most part will be in the upper 60s and low 70s. still pretty pleasant and mostly

sunny skies for san josé with a high of 71 in petaluma, and we will be in the upper 60s in brentwood today. comfortable as well with a high of 68. we will talk about the rain coming in and the timeline of that as you are making weekend plans. mike is helping you plan which gas station to go for. >> yeah, yesterday one of the best in the state shot up from 3.99 and now it's 4.59 in san leandro on washington avenue. keeping up with the changes through all of you on gasbuddy.com. sunnyvale, 4.19 at world on westmont avenue. that's the best in the south bay. and then 4.49, san rafael's valero on 3rd street. on the roadways, i am worried about highway 24. not a lot of change, but there's another hazard reported, one eastbound and one westbound.

sounds like they are separate incidents of disabled vehicles. both should be off to the shoulders shortly, and no slowing showing up on the sensors just yet. on the bay bridge toll plaza, it's not a quick drive but it's moving, at least. back to you. >> thank you. a beautiful north bay park is now faced with dust. reddit makes its debut on the stock market, and more relief for student loans. let's go out and see how they are behaving themselves. look at the nasdaq. >> look at that. we have got two mega jackpots that have been growing day by day. your chance at millions this week, when we re

good thurbs morning. right now at 6:13, a good start to the day with no issues of visibility. as you are driving up and down the peninsula, you will have a cloudy start and temperatures in the mid-50s. we will talk about a cooler and rainy weekend in the forecast coming up. we are looking at a little more traffic flowing smoothly through oakland north of the coliseum. the headlights heading south and

the taillights towards the bay bridge. the richmond bridge may have a new incident there, coming up. there's a lot to get to, so let's take a deep breath. bloomberg reporting the department of justice could sue apple as soon as today because apple blocks competitors from accessing it's software and hardware. reddit, it debuts on the nasdaq today, priced at $34 a share. it will raise more than $500 million for the company, and puts the company's value at more than 6 million. reddit is like an old-fashioned bulletin board with topics on everything you could possibly imagine from crafts and hobbies to politics and home improvement, you name it. it's up to you whether you want to buy the stock, but i do

encourage you to try the site if you haven't. that super weird thing you are interested in, they talk about it, they have it. we will talk more about reddit at the bottom of the hour. president biden was in arizona announcing an $8.5 billion grant for a new chip plant in chandler, arizona. the money comes from the bipartisan chips act and it aims to produce extra chips. then 74,000 californians qualify for one program that has been around but was poorly implemented. not a lot of people were approved, and the white house says its fixes will change that. we expect the white house to turn its focus towards the cost of houses today with new proposed rules that would make the process of buying a house cheaper and encourage cities to

allow building. we don't have a lot of details on that one, yet. alaska airlines is rolling out a prescription service. they call it alaska access. you get one flight of free wi-fi a month, too. then releasing this video on x, where it says it's the first human to receive a brain chip implant. this man can now play chess online with his mind. >> it was like using the force, and i could get the cursor to move wherever i wanted, to stare on the screen and it would move where i wanted it to, which was such a wild experience. >> you are like a wizard. >> neuro link is not the only

company working on this type of technology. a swiss company was able to help a man walk through thought. some guy shooting this on an iphone, and i realize elon musk does x and neuro link, so you will post that on x. >> yeah. >> sign of the times. >> amazing. new at 6:00, visitors being asked to pack up their trash. it's something you may have noticed if you visited recently, trash is piling up on bins. the park's garbage trucks are out of commission due to a mechanical issue. so they are asking you to take your trash with you. pack in and pack out, wherever you go, right? >> yes. trending this morning, the

growing jackpots for mega millions. >> yeah, the powerball jackpot has grown to $750 million. the mega millions jackpot is $977 million, and that next draw something tomorrow. may all your dreams come true. what if you win both? can you imagine winning friday and saturday. >> greedy, marcus. >> yeah, here's a million, gosh. we are starting out with great weather. we want to get out there and enjoy it before things change this weekend. it will be mostly sunny and comfortable today, but a little cooler than it has been to start out the week. it will be mostly cloudy tomorrow. if you are heading out early and

will be gone for much of the day, make sure you have the umbrella for tomorrow afternoon. for the weekend, we will see waves of rain coming in as well as chilly temperatures. we will be watching out for a chance of thunderstorms on saturday. we are still sunny today in the south bay. low 70s, and we will see a few more clouds later today, and then compared to saturday's temperature you are seeing at the bottom of the screen, this is going to be so nice. upper 60s for much of the east bay. martinez headed for 68 degrees. we will see a high of 68 in palo alto. half moon bay, 62 there. daly city, 61 degrees. low 60s for san francisco. also 64 in mill valley. clearlake, a high of 67 for today. here's what is going to bring in the change. we are already seeing the clouds stretch into the pacific northwest. it's also going to bring down cool temperatures along with the rain chances. the flow of the jet stream, that

fast-moving river of upper level winds that will drive storms our way, well, it's starting to take a dive. with that, once again, it will bring a change in our weather, and it's no longer going to be nice, sunny and warm. we are not the only ones going to see a major cooldown and shift as the jet stream dips, we will see that across much of the country and that will make headlines over the next few days. looking at rain arriving tomorrow afternoon, first starting in the north bay, and off and on showers getting heavier late friday evening. another wave on saturday that will be off and on throughout the day. overall throughout the weekend, it will taper off on saturday morning, and we can see an inch of rainfall, and maybe half an inch of rain in livermore and closer to an inch of rain in san josé. that's a pretty good soaking, but it comes over the course of a few days between late friday, throughout the day on saturday and then tapering off on sunday.

we are going to have a break from the rain on monday and tuesday with more showers possible on wednesday. we are also looking at a significant cooldown over the next several days. mike, you were saying you may have an issue heading out of richmond? >> you see the crowd here, and this is typical timing for a lot more traffic to go across from richmond into san rafael. this is the bridge toll plaza here, but there could be a disabled vehicle across the span blocking a right lane on the span. we are looking at the speeds starting to dive down a little bit over here, 40 miles per hour, that's slow across the span and typically because of the volume. somebody reported a disabled vehicle past the toll plaza. in through richmond and through richmond, moving smoothly. we did have a disabled vehicle removed from the report, so we have east bay 24 and that should be on the right shoulder now.

no slowing. good. we were worried about that. the build through contra costa county typical. we do have a nice and easy drive. the dublin interchange never really showed a lot of slowing but we do see a build, slowing out of sunol for southbound 680. and in the south bay, north 101 shows your typical pattern that is building. we're holding steady with the altamont pass. vasco, over to 20 minutes and closer to half an hour down to 580. back to you. >> thank you, mike. giants saying farewell to their long-time public announcer. many fans having a hard time accepting it. up next, his letter to the fans. and then the 7:00 streaming newscast is moving, and you can get it now starting on monday at

[ physical therapy staff discusses results ] for your mind. for your body. and for the community. -team! for all that is me, for all that is you. kaiser permanente. a beloved long-time giants pafplt announcer has a letter for fans. the giants this week announced plans to part ways, indicating a new contract deal could not be reached. brooks moon is making her first

comments since she made comments in the team's release. she calls her time with the team the greatest honor of her life and career. with one week to go until opening day, the team has not announced her successor. if you have not filled out those march madness brackets just yet, you don't have much time. those games are about to get busy. the match-ups are locked in after two more play-in games last night. grambling state in. >> the gaels are playing grand canyon. we might add that president biden actually listed st. mary's

college in his brackets. the president of nbc here. >> go gaels. we will cheer them on. we have more ahead at 630 this morning, including a safeway in the north bay overrun with teenagers shoplifting. up next, a request from the police chief to the ceo of safeway himself. the hidden camera found in a bathroom in a starbucks in the bathroom in a starbucks in the south bay, and the man was taken

thousands of women with metastatic breast cancer are living in the moment and taking ibrance.

ibrance with an aromatase inhibitor is for adults with hr positive, her2 negative metastatic breast cancer as the first hormonal based therapy. ibrance plus letrozole significantly delayed disease progression versus letrozole. ibrance may cause low white blood cell counts that may lead to serious infections. ibrance may cause severe inflammation of the lungs. both of these can lead to death. tell your doctor if you have new or worsening chest pain, cough, or trouble breathing. before taking ibrance, tell your doctor if you have fever, chills, or other signs of infection, liver or kidney problems, are or plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding. for more information about side effects talk to your doctor. thanks, mom. be in your moment. ask your doctor about ibrance. a pfizer product.

bell. there you see it right now at 6:30. reddit is going public. this is live where the social media network is set to start beginning its stock today. scott mcgrew will break down everything you need to know about reddit's debut. it makes you think about how common that could be in other places, and it will make me think twice about using a public restroom. >> a shocking discovery found in a coffee shop in the bay area, a small camera found in the bathroom, and the growing fears the same thing may be happening

in other locations. and then an update on one crash. this is "today in the bay." thank you for starting your morning with us. i am laura garcia. i am marcus washington. are you wondering what it will feel like outside today? wait no longer. meteorologist, kari hall, is watching that for us. >> we have one more day to take it in with sunshine and mild temperatures. we're even starting out a little warmer. right now we are in the mid-50s in san francisco. it's 50 in san josé with a clear sky. gilroy, we are starting out with sunshine but it will be a chilly morning. we are in the mid-40s. look at the trend throughout the day and how fast it warms up. this afternoon will be in the upper 60s, briefly touching 70 degrees, and then we will see more clouds in the mix. in fact, here's a look at our highs all around the bay area. once again, for one more day, it

looks really nice. mike, you are tracking the backup at the richmond toll plaza? >> yeah, kari, you will see all lanes are slow, just about mid span across that bridge from mitchened into san rafael, and there's a disabled vehicle on the span itself. crews may have to stop traffic for safety until they can clear that. we're watching that. that's a slower drive. over in the north bay, highway 37 is an alternate. the bay bridge is moving smoothly, although you have the backup at the toll plaza. south of there, everything is moving smoothly as well. back to you. reddit making its debut on the stock market this morning. >> that's been years in the making, and scott mcgrew you have been following that since it was invented. >> yeah, the character you saw

on the new york stock exchange, they named that snew. the website does struggle to make money, and much like twitter doesn't -- it made a deal with google, a one-time deal. the key thing to know about reddit this morning, its financials going forward are challenging. the company never made a profit. no question it will make its founders better off. huffman already gets paid more than zuckerberg does, makes millions, and then the cofounder does okay. his wife works, too. he's married to serena williams.

and sam altman will do okay. reddit, after all, built on the back of users, much like ebay is about sellers, reddit is all about those that posts. >> our goal was to bring in the ethos of reddit and level the playing field on the terms the same way professional investors would. >> those that receive stock are able to sell it right away this morning, and that could create a bit of volatility in the stock. it has been a while since we had a big tech ipo. trading will not necessarily begin anytime soon.

it took facebook hours, if you will remember, marcus, for it to start trading on its debut, and that was ten years ago. but it took a long time. stock markets open, and reddit not yet trading. >> we will be waiting and watching. thanks, scott. developing for you in the south bay, regular customers at a san josé coffee shop in shock after the arrest of a man accused of hiding a small camera in the public restroom. bob redell is live outside of the police department in san josé. bob, the scary part about this, we are talking about dozens of people that were recorded. >> reporter: correct. a maintenance worker found the hidden camera in a starbucks market here in san josé at coleman and taylor, and authorities say it recorded 91 people on january 30th, and the victims ranging in age from 4 years old to 85 years old.

the day after the recordings, the maintenance worker discovered the camera under the sink pointing towards the toilet. one woman says her and her children use this bathroom and is worried they could have used it that day. >> just to have people looking at you, that's insane. >> when you see a smoke detector in a bathroom, that doesn't make sense. or why does this coat hook like victorian style and it's on the back of a bathroom stall. >> that was a security expert on what to look for if you are inside a public restroom. last week police arrested this man, louie juarez, and they

seized weapons and a couple other microcameras. starbucks put out this statement. we cannot overstate the importance of providing a safe environment for our customers and partners and employees. we will continue to cooperate fully with law enforcement on this matter. police are asking you if you believe you may have been captured by that hidden camera in starbucks, they would like to hear from you. again, this is at the starbucks at coleman and taylor here in san josé. they do know it was recording on january 30th. reporting live here outside the san josé police department, bob redell for today in the bay. >> the fact you can't go to the restroom in peace. that's just sick. bob, thank you. we have a heartbreaking update for you to an already-tragic story. authorities say the infant severely injured when a vehicle slammed into a san francisco bus

stop now died. multiple sources confirmed the news to nbc bay area news last night. the other three members of the same family all died when the accident happened on saturday as they waited for that bus at the muni station. the father was a brazilian national and worked at apple. the other victims was his wife, and their 1-year-old son, joaquin. there's no official decision from the d.a.'s office whether or not the driver will be criminally charged. and then fed up with theft at a major supermarket, one north bay police chief is asking for help. this is the letter the police chief sent to safeway stores. they are asking the store to hire extra security and says the department doesn't have the resources to deal with the constant thieves and loitering,

mostly from high school students. the letter continued to say in part, continued failure to address these concerns not only jeopardizes the well-being of the customers but also undermines the reputation and integrity of safeway. we reached out to safeway but have not heard back. not much changed in the dead heat involving two candidates vying to replace eschew in congress. now, this is a position that flip-flopped from earlier this week. whoever claims the second spot will face-off against sam liccardo in the fall. the elections office is awaiting for some voters to respond.

>> we are reaching out to some voters by mail to ensure they can reach out and verify their signatures with us so their vote can be counted. >> they have until april 2nd to verify those votes, meaning don't expect an official count until then. 6:40 on your thursday morning. we're creeping ever so close to the weekend, as we take a live look outside overlooking san francisco. we have had the nice spring-like temperatures, and spring arrived on tuesday only to be followed by rain this weekend, kari? >> yeah, but eventually the spring-time temperatures will come back. we do need the rain at the same time. we will enjoy the day with the sharks game tonight, and it will be in the mid-60s as you are heading into the sap center. it will be chilly this evening, in the upper 50s, so have that

jacket. tomorrow, the warriors game, or maybe enjoying march madness, and it will be soggy off and on and that begins tomorrow afternoon into the evening. looks like it will be raining on saturday for the barbie truck tour that will be stopping in walnut creek, and that starts at 10:00 a.m. there will be a chance of morning showers into the afternoon. also rain on the easter eggs for the free easter carnival at golden gate park on saturday. we are going to have off and on showers and highs only in the upper 50s. it's also restaurant week in oakland. looks like sunday is the best day to dine outside, but it's going to be cool. mike, you are starting with more slowing in san josé? >> yeah, we typically have the build and the 101 starting to slow at capitol expressway, and then we are looking at the build in mountain view out of

sunnyvale and santa clara as well. and downtown tonight, kari talks about the sharks game, and you will find more people walking through that area after work. a little more slowing for the tri-valley, but nothing traumatic. 680 down towards sunol, 880, picking up the volume and on pace there. san mateo bridge at the bottom here, look at the long drive across the richmond bridge, there's one disabled vehicle. up next, the bay area hotel celebrating a special anniversary. keep ihere. keep ihere. you't re ( ♪♪ )

good thursday morning to you. it's now 6:45. we have a clear start to the day in san josé. it's fairly mild with temperatures in the mid-50s with a mix of sun and clouds. it's going to be another gorgeous day. we should take it in because we know that rain is coming back tomorrow. i will have more on that coming up in a few minutes. here's more backup at the bridge, and the tow truck could be heading across the span to help relieve whatever backup we see here. it keeps getting bigger because more folks are heading across from the north bay. we will check the progress itself. and then scott mcgrew will

join us, and one candidate is way ahead of the other in their campaign war chest. >> yeah, way ahead. the democrats have more money than the trump campaign, and as important, biden doesn't have crippling debt. there are all kinds of way to measure. biden's campaign with 71 million and trump with 34 million. the democratic effort has 155 million, and the republicans have 42 million. money is not the only challenge for the republican party. it also laid off dozens of long-time workers earlier this month as donald trump's daughter-in-law took over as party cochair. the third challenge for republicans, donald trump is fundraising but those funds are not necessarily for his campaign, but he's asking for

money for his legal fees. antony blinken is in cairo and will meet with top palestinian officials as he pushes for a pause in the fighting between israel and hamas on the gaza strip. antony blinken will visit israel tomorrow. he says the united nations will introduce a peace proposal, demanding the release of the hostages held by hamas in order to take effect. the u.n. is concerned about starvation in gaza and says it could turn. and then -- >> the only information pushed on the biden's in ukraine came from one source and one source

only, russia and russian agents. their impeachment proceedings here are predicated on false information spread by the kremlin. >> a former business partner of hunter biden testified that then-vice president was involved in hunter's business selling the brand of biden. >> it's clear to me that joe biden was the brand being sold by the biden family. his family's foreign influence from china to ukraine and elsewhere sold out the foreign actors seeking to gain influence to joe biden and the united states government. >> hunter biden did not attend but did sit for a closed-door deposition last month, repeating the allegations that his father did not have anything to do with his business. then the first official bmx

track in sonoma county, expected to break ground in july, providing the permits are approved on time. and then san francisco celebrating the birth of a landmark hotel. >> it's the anniversary of st. francis in union square. st. francis opened two years before the great quake of 1906, and then it went through a major rebuilding following the quake. there will be the grand opening of the hotel museum. >> if you are unfamiliar, take a look at this. let me jog your memory. do you remember janelle wang and i repelled down the hotel to bring awareness to brain

aneurisms. >> i wish we could roll that again. you looked really focused. >> i was. i have done this before. >> you look like spider-man. >> yeah, if i could get that spider-man contract salary. it's beautiful from up there. when they say that, it really is beautiful from up there. >> are you scared at all? >> very much so. >> you would not catch me up there. >> we will work on that next year. >> i picture the guy at the top going, ehhhh -- >> yeah, what did he eat this morning? you know, it has been so comfortable, and we are seeing the clouds stretching overhead and we will get clearing here and there. this is a live look at walnut creek. let's talk about what is ahead. this will be the last dry and warm day.

it will be cooler for the weekend as well as off and on showers that will continue into next week. a look at our highs today, with santa rosa up to 68 degrees. 69 degrees in mountain view. low 70s from san josé to the south county. fairfield checking in with a high of 71 today. as you probably noticed the bottom of the screen with the 7-day forecast, it will be cooler this weekend. still mild tomorrow for most of us, but as the clouds come in the rain will continue to drop several more degrees. this is what is coming in. the storm system and cooler temperatures, and we are starting to see the clouds, and the fast-moving -- it's like basically a river in the sky, the jet stream that carries storms our way has been wavy, but it's giving us a break from

any rain. that's about to change as it begins to dive to the south. it's going to drive in the storms into the bay area. we're not the only ones that got a little taste of spring, but going back to winter, we will see that across much of the country. you will probably see the headlines about that. looking at when the rain gets here, early tomorrow afternoon, starting in the north bay and continuing to get heavier for the evening and making its way across the rest of the bay area. there will be a few breaks in rain activity tapering off on sunday. most areas looking at half an inch of rain for most of the drier spots, considering there are areas near the coastline and north bay with over an inch of rainfall throughout the weekend. the sierra is looking at a decent snowfall, probably about a foot of snow for tahoe, and 29 inches possible in kingvale with
