right now at 5:00, get ready for a warm-up. it may be the hottest temperatures yet this year. meteorologist kari hall is tracking the forecast and the big swing on tap before the

weekend. it just shows that pollution and mismanagement of, like, ocean and river channels is a huge issue, and it's terrible that a large, beautiful animal has to suffer because of it. >> entangled. a whale moving up the bay area coastline trapped in fishing nets. we are live with the race to save the mammal and fears it could take days to do so. also on tap, for the first time in decades, new federal drinking water standards. the big concerns prompting the change and the potential widespread impact. this is "today in the bay." this is wednesday morning, halfway through our workweek. thanks for starting your day with us. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. >> did you feel the shaking overnight? it was a 3.2 earthquake rattling parts of the south bay. it happened just after 1:00 a.m., centered near morgan hill. no reports of damage. b.a.r.t. briefly reduced the

speed of trains. service is expected to be normal during the morning commute. what a way to wake yourself up if you did feel it. let's see if we're going to feel the warmer temperatures today. >> we're starting right now already with some milder temperatures this morning. we're in the low 50s as you get ready to head out the door. look at our highs. up to 78 degrees in hayward and mountain view, 80 in martinez, and we're in the upper 70s in the north bay, san francisco in the low 70s. it will get even warmer for a few spots like the south county tomorrow afternoon, reaching 82 degrees. we'll see the same in fairfield, while some slight cooling will start to get underway near the coastline, and then our temperatures really come down on friday, where most of us will be back to the 60s ahead of some rain on the way for saturday. so i'll have a look at that timeline in a few minutes. cinthia is in with a look at the calm roads we have to start. >> good news to start off our wednesday. good morning, everyone.

our sensors are green right now. we love to see that. the only slow spot is typical, building over the altamont pass. but there's no reports of any crashes, just some people out on the roadways bright and early this morning. it will take you about 20 minutes to get over 580 to 680, and if you're coming down into sunol or fremont, about ten minutes to get you to 680 from highway 84. we'll watch the bay bridge, but no metering lights. time is ticking to save a 30-foot long gray whale entangled in a massive net off the coast of california. but, first, experts, they have to find it and they need your help. "today in the bay"'s ginger conejero saab is live in pacifica. do we know where that whale is right now? >> reporter: good morning to you, marcus. that whale was last seen off the coast of san mateo county yesterday, it was caught on

drone video very close to where we are, which is thornton state beach in daly city. you can see the whale is dragging with it two large orange buoys and there is a massive gill net connected. the whale was first spotted on march 22nd off laguna beach in southern california and it was tagged with a tracking device. that tracking device soon became separated from the whale as it headed north on its annual migration. for the first time since, it was spotted yesterday along the san mateo coast. now, efforts will continue to try to save the gray whale, but we are told it will be very difficult, and even dangerous. we spoke the california marine mammal stranding response coordinator for the national oceanic and atmospheric administration fisheries. >> you get in tow behind the whale, we have an inflatable and we'll let the whale pull us and then we can pull ourselves up

behind the whale and reach over the front of the boat with a 10 or 15 foot pole, 25 feet, depending on how reactive the whale is and we can try to reach up to make the cut. >> reporter: the response coordinator also tells us entanglements are very hard to remove and the whale does not want to stop. noaa has never lost a rescue team member but the same cannot be said for similar organizations around the world. it is that dangerous. noaa also asking for the public's help this morning or throughout the day, if you will be on a boat off the coast, particularly sonoma county and up north, you are asked to keep your eyes out for a gray whale that may be towing with it two orange buoys. if you do so, call 1-877-sos-whale and this might help experts get to the whale in time to save its life. >> it's good to know that and

hopefully they're able to get that net off soon. ginger, thank you. well, this morning it is the end of an era on the farm. college basketball's winningest coach calls it a career. stanford's women's head coach tara vanderveer announcing her retirement last night. a news conference is planned for later today. vanderveer spent 38 seasons coaching the cardinal, on top of seven more seasons at idaho and ohio state. she guided the cardinal to three national championships and 14 final four appearances. reaction is pouring in, including from another bay area coaching legend, the warriors steve kerr. >> i loved her. she's amazing. and we've connected quite a bit in the bay. she's come to our practices, i've seen her down on their campus. i have so much respect and admiration for her. my initial reaction is i'm thrilled for her. >> vanderveer set the new all

time record for wins earlier this season and ended her career with 1,216 victories. she's expected to stay with the program as an adviser. that news conference i mentioned is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. and we plan to stream it live on roku and other digital platforms. you can also watch it live at nbcbayarea.com. a live look at the white house this morning. this is where japan's prime minister will meet later today with president biden ahead of a state dinner. the president and prime minister are expected to discuss upgrading u.s. military operations in japan, as well as japan's participation in nasa's artemis moon project. to decision 2024, and the hotly contested race in the south bay to replace representative anna eshoo. it is now looking like a recount is coming to decide the second place winner in the primary there. election leaders now say second place resulted in an exact tie

between joe simitian and evan low. while sam liccardo is locked in as a finalist. recount requests have been submitted. all three candidates will appear on the ballot, but a recount could change all of that and some political experts believe it may benefit liccardo. >> the person who has the most to gain from a recount is sam liccardo, because right now he's looking at a three-person race. he would probably do better, have a better chance in a two-person race. >> we reached out to all three campaigns, and liccardo's campaign responded saying, more than 100 ballots were not included in the final tally, due to issues like unverified signatures. and they understand why there would be an effort to make sure the votes are fully considered. low's campaign is accusing liccardo of playing dirty tricks, saying in part, quote, sam liccardo who does not live in the district, did not file a recount himself. instead, he had his former

staffer do it for him. what's he afraid of? joe simitian says, eventually this process will work itself out. my job is to stay focused on how i can best represent the folks in our district and that's what i'm doing. now to a live look in san francisco, where today a candidate for city supervisor will introduce a plan to end open drug markets. now, for the past year, mayor london breed and the san francisco police department have been working to crack down on drug markets. these markets have contributed to hundreds of fentanyl deaths in the city. he said that he wants to help get it under control. he's running to unseat dean preston. he'll be at the corner of 7th and market street to introduce his plan. new federal standards to make your drinking water healthier. the environmental protection agency has established a new national limit on the presence of certain types of substances called pfas.

each is nearly -- there you go, impossible to destroy, has been associated with certain cancers and other health concerns. the limit require them to be the lowest level detectible. public systems that don't monitor have three years to start. if they detect levels above epa limits, they will have two years to fix it. let's get a look at the forecast with kari. >> no water coming from the sky over the next few days. we are headed for some warmer temperatures and sunshine, and we're starting out with temperatures all over the place. los gatos is now at 61 degrees, but we're at 53 in martinez, 50 in oakland, and we have some mid-40s in much of the north bay. now, looking at the clear view that we have now, the storm system, any chances of rain still well to the north of us. so we've been watching what's happening across parts of the south with a severe weather

outbreak in texas and louisiana, tornado warnings going up. we'll continue to watch out for that. here at home it's going to really be warm for the afternoon, with a mostly sunny sky. santa rosa headed close to 80 degrees. more on that in a few minutes. cinthia, you were checking on drive times. >> ten past the hour and it's quiet. i thought we would go around the bay. coco county, if you're coming off the antioch bridge, concord, pleasant hill, walnut creek, that will be about a 30 minute ride. the traffic is growing on the altamont pass, about a 24 minute commute to get you down to 680. how about we go to the north bay? it's quiet up there along 101, and westbound 37, a 12 minute ride to get yourself in and out of vallejo. there is a change that's going to come up on highway 37, we'll talk about that at 5:38. back to you. costco is cashing in. next, the impressive sales the company is bringing in from gold bars. >> if you can get them. plus, focusing on artificial

intelligence. the all new announcements coming from google this week. we get important inflation data, plus, it's a really good me to buyti

good wednesday morning. the time is 5:14. let's head to gilroy with a look at our day planner. we're starting out chilly, only in the upper 40s. at noon it is already 73 degrees, and we're headed up to

80 this afternoon. a significant warm-up for today and tomorrow, and then a big drop in temperatures for the weekend. more on that coming up in a few minutes. some cars might be blasting the ac this morning if it's too warm, but traffic is flowing smoothly over 101 in san jose. a check on the drive times in the south bay, just under 20 minutes to get yourself on 101 or highway 85 into mountain view. well, good morning. very happy wednesday to you. we get two important bits of information today, the consumer price index, inflation, and the minutes from the most recent fed meeting. and of course those two are related. the fed looking for a 2% inflation rate, as it waits to cut interest rates. the two most recent cpi reports for january and february were higher than that. now, one way to hedge against inflation is gold. you can buy these from costco online. they're selling well. analysts at wells fargo estimate

be they are selling $200 million a month. unlike most things you get at costco, you can't return these. we're looking for 3.7% core inflation in today's inflation report, less than previous months, way down from the highs we saw two years ago, up more than 9%. speaking of prices, the fcc is warning a program to provide low cost internet to low income families in america will run out of money next month, unless congress renews the affordable connectivity program. it subsidizes bills by $30 to $75 a month. nothing captured the need for affordable internet more than a picture of two schoolgirls sitting outside a taco bell to use the restaurant's internet to do their homework. the school district later provided the family with an internet hot spot. jessica alba says she's stepping down as chief creative officer from honest company, the baby products company she

founded, but just now owns 6% of. in a statement, the actress and entrepreneur said, from the first concept book i pitched from my friends at a mommy and me class, to ringing the bell at the nasdaq with the family by the side, this journey has been a ride of a lifetime. and finally, you may have heard the demand for electric cars is slumping. tesla said for the first time in history it sold fewer cars in the most recent quarter than the quarter before, and it has cut prices on model y because it's got so many of them. not bmw, the bavarian motor works says sells of evs are up 28% year-over-year. at some point we expect the chinese to get serious about selling evs into america if congress lets them, and it's going to be a race to the bottom as far as prices go. so it is a very good time to buy an ev. >> all those chargers, too. >> that, indeed. >> thank you, scott.

5:17 right now. google is already diving even deeper into ai powered technology with plans to roll out more tools for everyone. the silicon valley giant unveiled its latest plans yesterday at the google cloud next conference in las vegas. it is a new workplace ai feature that includes translated captions during video calls, also an ai security add-on to protect files, and better organization features with its docs and sheets app. advocates for google's new ai technology say it should make life easier for everyone. >> this is just the beginning of a lot of the ai initiatives that are happening. ai is really going to be a big part of businesses moving forward, the evolution of ai is going to enhance business to make them go faster and be more productive. >> google also recently developed new ai technology to help radiologists work more efficiently and more

announcements are expected later today at the same conference, which runs through tomorrow. 5:18 right now. and trending this morning, one new york t-shirt shop is going viral after the quick turnaround to get earthquake shirts after last friday's relatively minor earthquake. >> they were ready to go 15 minutes after the quake saying, quote, i survived the nyc earthquake. they say they sold nearly $10,000 worth of shirts in just 21 hours. some customers waited in line for two hours to get the $10 t-shirts. >> we need to make one for the one we had this morning in morgan hill at 3.2. we need to get some t-shirts made. >> we're kind of tough in the bay area here, you know. >> and then you think, like, in a few months people will look at the shirt, like, what

earthquake? things change so quickly. >> it will be a sleeping shirt. we're going to be talking about these temperatures today. >> yes, it's going to be very warm, and you are going to have to deal with whether or not to turn on the ac in some spots, or just wait it out until the temperatures come back down to try to cool off the inside of the home. as we get started in san francisco this morning, we are all clear. let's get a look at redwood city. we're going to see a few clouds and, overall, a sunny day, going from upper 40s this morning to then seeing those temperatures in the mid-60s at noon, and then reaching into the upper 70s there. when we compare our high temperatures for today versus what's the record for this date, and santa rosa will be below a record high, but above what's normal. san francisco with a high of 74 will be nowhere close to that record of 91. oakland, about 3 degrees below a record, possibly, but we are going to see a bigger gap in some other areas. a look at our seven-day forecast

as it comes up at the bottom of the screen, today and tomorrow will be the warmest days, and then a big drop-off in time for the weekend. we're still going to reach into the low 80s today, highs in the low 80s for the east bay and south bay, and upper 60s for the peninsula into san francisco. and then on friday, we're all cooling down and back to the jackets. not yet umbrellas, but we will need the umbrellas and heavier coats for the weekend as we see this storm system coming in. such a big change saturday into sunday. even the sierra getting some snow. and a modest warm-up as we go into next week. we're not going to see the big bounceback like we're seeing now. temperatures are going to be cool with this rain coming down for the weekend with the possibility of about three-quarters of an inch of rain, maybe an inch in the hills and coastal areas. the sierra is going to get anywhere from 6 to 13 inches of snow, maybe even up to 14 for kingvale.

this looks like it has a decent amount of moisture associated with this system for the weekend. we are going to get some off and on rain. we're going from low 80s for today and tomorrow for the inland areas, to upper 60s on friday. and then mid-50s on saturday. sunday is not much warmer as the rain starts to move out. then we'll be in the upper 60s and low 70s, which is about normal for this time of year. cinthia, you're watching something at the altamont. >> this might be the reason we were saying that cars were slowing down over the altamont. 580 there is a stalled big rig, but it's off of the highway. so we just might have some onlookers. remember to keep driving so we can make it safely to our destination. the sensors are still green. let's keep checking on drive times and get you out the door. just under a 15 minute drive from 80 to the bay bridge and a 13 minute ride to get yourself on northbound 880 as well to the bay bridge.

welcome back. 5:25 this morning. the bay area is world famous for many things. its theatre scene is one of them. >> you know the phrase, a star

is born, usually means a performance that launches a career. today's bay area proud is more about someone who was born a star, and the unlikely friendship. >> good morning, everybody. i have a heartwarming story to tell you about a young east bay woman getting to live out her dreams. 16-year-old zoe berman was born with a rare disease and a passion to perform. zoe has played a number of supporting roles in the past but never the star turn she dreamed of, until a hollywood actress came into her life, paired with zoe through a nonprofit. she was supposed to give her virtual acting lessons for eight weeks. three years later, they are still going strong. and thanks to donations last month, they were able to perform a two-woman show at san francisco's gateway theatre. zoe acting and singing, her favorite scenes from her favorite shows. you can experience the whole

krzyzewski. she says it's time, she announced her retirement last night after 38 seasons here at stanford, where she led the cardinals to three national championships and 14 final fours. in a statement, she wrote in part, it has been an unforgettable ride. the joy for me was in the journey of each season, seeing a group of young women work hard for each other and form an unbreakable bond. >> she was never someone that thought she was the end all be all. she was an incredibly collaborative leader, flexible, always willing to hear someone out and think, what are you seeing that i'm not seeing. that's what made her visionary, she added everyone into her vision. >> reporter: as you can see on your screen on twitter, she's been receiving a lot of praise from other coaches in the basketball league. coach tara is expected to remain

on as an adviser for the program. kate pay, who played under coach tara, is in negotiations to be her successor. stanford is leaving the pac 12. coach tara will talk to us at a news conference scheduled for 1:00 this afternoon here on campus. reporting live at stanford university, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> the end of a big era there. thank you very much, bob. so as he just mentioned, that news conference is scheduled for 1:00 this afternoon. it is closed to the public, but you can get a peek of it because we plan to stream it live on roku and other digital platforms. you can also watch it live on nbcbayarea.com. well, developing now, sacramento deputies are searching for a man suspected of stabbing a 7-year-old. this all happened last night around 7:00 in rancho cordova. police say a man stabbed a young

girl outside of an apartment complex. the suspect lives in the complex. deputies evacuated the apartments, surrounding him, and they say the man is believed to have mental issues. officers are still working to arrest the suspect. the young girl is expected to be okay. >> thank goodness. we are learning the name of a 9-year-old girl that was killed in a crash in concord over the weekend. the contra costa county coroner's office says her name was donna hernandez, she was from oregon. she was in an suv that veered off 680 at the 242 split on sunday morning. it rolled several times before landing upside down in the dirt median. hernandez tapia was ejected from the car. four of her family members have major injuries. police are still looking for a driver who ran from the scene. we don't know the relationship of the driver to the victims. developing right now, a lot of people this morning following the drama playing out along the bay area coastline. that's where rescuers are racing

sb-1 that would set aside close to $400 million in ballpark funding, less than half of the price tag for a new stadium. organizers say it is still too much money. >> a majority of las vegas voters oppose public money going toward a baseball stadium for the athletics and that's what we're in the supreme court today to determine. taxpayers should have the opportunity to vote on where their public money goes. >> a's lobbyists also presented their case. they argue the wordage of the petition is unclear and will lead to voter confusion. 5:36 this morning, as we take a live look out in san jose, a place where we're going to see warmer temperatures. as we start the morning, it's not bad at all. >> not bad at all to start. if it did get warm yesterday, you can open up the windows and let the cooler air in before it warms up again this afternoon. we're right now in the upper 40s for dublin and fremont, 51 in

martinez and the mid to upper 40s in the north bay. a look at our south bay high temperatures, in the low 80s for san jose and santa clara, and we'll be up to 81 in san martin. milpitas today, 79 degrees, and about the same in sunnyvale. upper 70s, low 80s is well above what we typically see for early april. we'll talk about changes ahead in the weekend forecast. cinthia, you're seeing the midday traffic in san francisco. >> yep, we have a giants game this afternoon, 12:45 first pitch, so you can be expecting traffic, people coming off of 280, 101, the bay bridge. allow yourself some time around lunchtime. we're going to go to japantown, the cherry blossom festival 11:00 to 6:00 on saturday and sunday. we are closing this weekend westbound 37 from highway 29 all the way over to 121 as crews

good wednesday morning. it is now 5:41. we're taking a live look outside at the golden gate bridge, a few little drops on the lens as we get low clouds and fog, and we'll see it clearing out as we go throughout the day, going from low 50s to upper 60s and low 70s. a really nice day ahead. we'll talk about a cooldown in the microclimate forecast coming up. just as expected, the metering lights have been turned on at the bay bridge. we see a few more cars trying to make their way into san francisco. over the richmond-san rafael bridge, no backup, just under a ten minute ride to get yourself into marin county. >> thank you very much. it is 5:42. opening the door for more women in construction. one east bay nonprofit is doing

just that. for 30 years, rising sun has trained more than 3,000 young and minority women for career paths with apprenticeship programs that include hands-on construction training. the members say it's opened opportunities for future jobs in what is considered a male-dominated field, and can help them remain in the bay area on a liveable wage. >> i was on a bus and i saw a flier, and i thought, women building the bay, i want to be that. hopefully it grows so i can create my own family here. i want a lot of kids. definitely, just being able to stay in the bay area, that's my main goal. >> rising sun is hosting an outreach fair today. it starts at 9:00 a.m. at their oakland location. they are expecting 60 vendors, including trade union representatives and contractors. 5:43 this morning. abortion will be center stage during this fall's presidential election. scott mcgrew joins us.

the latest development is out of arizona, a key state in the race for the white house. >> that's right. good morning. arizonans who support abortion rights pushing to get the issue on the november ballot, an amendment to the state constitution much like we did here in california. as we've discussed before, abortion on the ballot brings out democratic voters. the state supreme court in arizona ruled a centuries old arizona law banning abortion was valid now that roe v. wade has been overturned. the decision seemed to come out of nowhere. national politicians not watching for it, not expecting arizona to join the abortion fray. and this comes just a day after republican candidate for president donald trump tried to put the issue behind him with an announcement he wanted abortion decided by the states, not on the national level. well, it is being decided by the states. just last week, the florida supreme court decided a six-week ban there was valid, but also

that the question of abortion could go on the ballot in florida in november. florida, arizona, two key states in any presidential election where both sides will be very motivated to show up. remember, president biden's warning in the state of the union. >> those bragging about overturning roe v. wade have no clue about the power of women, but they found out when it was on the ballot, we won and we'll begin again in 2024. >> the president and first lady welcomed the japanese prime minister and his wife to the white house yesterday. the pm will address a join session of congress tomorrow. tonight, a state dinner. there are no california wines on the menu, which is unusual. other news, the florida judge in charge of the trump classified documents case says the list of expected witnesses should be redacted to avoid harassment and death threats ahead of time. we'll know who they are when they appear, though.

it's a public trial. in congress, speaker johnson has delayed sending articles of impeachment against homeland security secretary mayorkas to the senate. mayorkas was impeached, it's the senate's job to decide whether he should lose his job. now, democrats who are in power in the senate are pushing to immediately dismiss. congress also expected to take up a bipartisan bill that would require the u.s. military to track, and if possible, limit soldier and sailor exposure to shockwaves created by weapons. there's growing research, repeated exposure to blasts can cause brain damage. the military sets limits to the size of the blasts, but some weapons in our inventory still violate that limit. the damage very similar to what nfl players can suffer from, and sometimes results in violent behavior. the u.s. military is looking into whether there was brain damage to robert card, who was a

former grenade instructor, who went, of course, on that terrible shooting spree, marcus and laura, in maine. >> thank you. finding affordable housing can be a struggle in the bay area, especially for seniors. but one young woman is finding a way to meet the need, placing more than 1,000 seniors in the process. >> "today in the bay"'s kris sanchez shows how she's moving the bay area forward. >> reporter: a bay area businesswoman is using the skills she started way back at age 15 to help seniors transition from their family homes into their next homes, even as they're trying to make it in the bay. 88-year-old judy carmichael is getting settled in her new senior living home in san jose, although she wasn't excited about leaving her home of 25 years. she told me she felt like it was time. >> well, it's a big change in your life, and suddenly you're not in charge anymore, you know.

>> something tells me you're still in charge. [ laughter ] >> reporter: judy did get the final say, but only after her daughter did online research and made calls and visited 27 different homes. >> it was huge, and it's a whole new world. it's a world you don't come into until it's time to. so it was a very intense and deep dive into finding and learning what were the main criteria to find for your mother. and they changed along the way in the learning. >> reporter: this is exactly why anita founded her company, she started working with seniors at the age of 15 as a waitress in a care facility, after seeing how overwhelming this stage of life could be for the whole family, she created a concierge model so loved ones can talk with the team at neighborly who have firsthand knowledge of local facilities, not just someone

answering an 800 number at a corporate office. >> a lot of families don't know what their parents' financial situation is, they don't know if they have long-term care insurance. maybe they don't have the power of attorney documents in place. so helping them to navigate and figure out how to access those things and get those documents in place so that they can advocate on behalf of their loved one is something that we have a lot of experience in. >> reporter: neighborly works with families choosing private pay facilities which can run between $4,000 and $20,000 a month and they pay a referral fee to neighborly, costing the families nothing. anita says she can't help everyone because of insurance policies and such, but they try to use the resources they gather to help people get started on the right path. she says it's the way they're paying it forward. some of the senior resources for families using medicare or medicaid, the federal administration for community living site and the medicare

care compare tool. according to the u.s. census borough, california has the most facilities in the country, so helping choose one can go a long way. two late night legends chopping it up on "the tonight show." >> conan o'brien returned to his stomping grounds, for the first time in years. here is how he put it to jimmy. >> when someone else is in your studio, it feels weird. so i walked in, and i said, who is in my old studio? they said, kelly clarkson. i love kelly clarkson, but still i felt like, it's not right! they should have burned it to the ground. >> conan, of course, started at nbc's late night back in 1993 where he hosted for about 15 years before briefly hosting

"the tonight show." that didn't last too long, but conan wrapped up his tbs show more recently back in 2021. >> he came by our nbc studios when he was working there. he's such a funny guy. it's when i was expecting the triplets and i had just announced. he was, like, you need to sit down, you're so little. he's a tall guy. he's, like, there are three people in there. it was really, really sweet. it's nice to see him. >> funny guy. well, happy day when it comes to this weather. >> we're going to shed these jackets. >> later on. at least we do still have the cool morning, and the spike in temperatures will last for two days. we can make it. we'll see a warm and sunny day today, and in some of our inland valleys we're headed back to the low 80s tomorrow. that will be the last warm day before the weekend gets here, and then we already start to see temperatures coming back down, much cooler weekend with times of rain.

when we take a look at what we're expecting for this afternoon and how that compares to normal, santa rosa, we're going to see a high of 78. now, that will not set a new record, but we're usually in the upper 60s. so in some spots it's going to be about 10 degrees above a normal high temperature, but not quite setting a record. so that's the good news there, even though we do have a warm-up. it's not too out of the ordinary. in martinez we'll see a high of 80 today, 77 in oakland, and 71 in san francisco. we're in the upper 70s in the north bay. if you've been looking at the seven-day forecast at the bottom of the screen, you see how much cooler it's going to be for saturday into sunday. so we're going to enjoy this while it lasts, with some low 70s tomorrow in oakland, and san francisco in the upper 60s, and then on friday is when we start to see the numbers dropping off. in the north bay, we'll only reach up to about 66 degrees. the system will push down the coastline into the bay area and

it also brings in rain and snow for the sierra. and it's going to start to get slightly warmer going into next week, but not a significant warm-up on the way. as we take a look at san jose, we'll see temperatures going from upper 70s today to low 70s on friday, and then on saturday we're only up to about 58 degrees. then we'll see the numbers starting to climb back up gradually toward next weekend. so if you're making plans and you want some warmer weather, maybe hold off until next weekend, because it is looking much nicer. we'll have some off and on rain on saturday. it does look like we could see the possibility of about a half inch of rainfall, and then some lingering showers possible on sunday, highs in the low 60s, and in san francisco we'll see that rain coming in a little bit sooner. maybe friday night into saturday. then moving out on sunday, with temperatures next week in the low 60s. cinthia, you were looking at a crash in vallejo. what's going on? >> this is the commute direction and it's going to be on 80 right

at the georgia street on-ramp. there's about two to three cars involved in this. chp has called an ambulance and a tow truck. we can see traffic is backing up right around the fairgrounds drive and the auto mall there in vallejo. so just keep an eye on for that. keep driving. let the crews handle what's going on there. we're going to go back to the altamont. i talked a little bit a while ago about that big rig that was stalled off of 580, but we do also have a crash -- not many details, though, from the chp on what's going on. also, the westbound direction, 205 and 580. we'll continue to investigate. otherwise, the rest of the bay area is still looking very smooth. just the typical buildup as we're climbing up 101 into san martin and morgan hill. no other reports in san jose, but we'll continue to watch that build as we approach 6:00. back to you. >> thank you so much. happening now, peninsula leaders are giving the thumbs down to a plan to rename the oakland airport. port commissioners are
