5:02 am
the temperatures come down a few degrees, but then as we look ahead, we're going to have some more high summer heat as we welcome in the month of june. today we're going to see a wide range in temperatures and how nice the weather will be will really depend on where you are. we'll be in the upper 60s in san francisco, but if you're in fairfield, it will be 91 this afternoon, and we'll talk more about that coming up in a few minutes. mike, you've got another crash and closure this morning. yes, exactly. but it's not exactly the same impact, though. yesterday was 101 at 880. that's okay. this part of the south bay is clear. silicon valley. we go even farther south to the crash and closure of westbound 152. that's coming into the area out of hollister, heading into gilroy, 152 westbound is closed because of an overturned semi, a fuel spill there. no major injuries, but i just got the update. the chp has now issued the alert. the backup quickly forming over the last 20 minutes. even though it's been
5:03 am
there longer. bloomfield is your alternate to get around the scene that's westbound. 152 getting over to i-5. our viewers locally to the south bay, they're just fine. and then i guess there's one other incident in castro valley. we're going to hand it off to you for that activity in the east bay. well, we begin this morning with that breaking news, mike, you might see smoke this morning if you're heading through castro valley. that's because firefighters are in the middle of an intense battle. this is after a market catches fire. now, this is a live look right now of that scene. so this is right now at the lake chabot public market. it's across the street from the castro valley community center. and you can see there firefighters there really battling those intense flames. so this all started a little before 330 this morning. you can see that those flames are shooting from the roof there. lake chabot road is closed at quail avenue due to that fire. today in the bay bob redell is at the scene. he'll have a live update for us coming up in the next half hour. well, new
5:04 am
overnight that inmate who escaped from a hollister jail tuesday morning is now back in custody. this is after authorities captured him in the south bay today in the bay's. tom jensen is live outside sapd headquarters this morning. and tom, they're really getting lots of thanks right now from san benito county deputies as. yes. good morning, ginger and marcus. the san martin san benito county sheriff, eric taylor took to social media and personally thanked san jose pd last night after danielle zavala lopez zavala was arrested here in san jose. zavala was arrested at a san jose hotel last night and was with his girlfriend, who police say helped him escape in hollister on tuesday, jailers said they saw zavala jumping over a barbed wire fence tuesday morning. the sheriff said he was a known gang member with a long criminal history, and as soon as zavala was back in custody, he went straight to facebook to thank his staff and other
5:05 am
agencies who helped catch him. we're also eternally grateful to our friends at the santa cruz county anti-crime task force, as well as the san jose police department, as they helped us locate this male in san jose tonight and took him into custody without incident. sheriff taylor blamed the escape on a lack of jail staffing, but said he's still investigating where all the breakdowns were that allowed zavala to escape. he said others who helped hide zavala are also being investigated and more arrests could follow for anyone who helped him. we're live in san jose. tom jensen today in the bay. all right, tom, thank you. new conflicts this morning at uc santa cruz. they're prompting leaders to close the campus today. now, classes, however, will continue online. this is new video shot overnight of a blockade first put up by pro-palestinian demonstrators on tuesday. now it's literally blocking access to the school
5:06 am
with a makeshift plywood barrier. the chancellor of the university says protesters were asked to allow cars onto campus, but they would not comply. former president donald trump's fate remains in the hands of 12 jurors. deliberations in his hush money trial continue to in a matter of hours today in the bay's brie jackson joins us live from washington and brie. a verdict could be reached as soon as today. that's right. good morning, ginger marcus. so the jury deliberated for about 4.5 hours without reaching a verdict yesterday. so we remain on verdict watch. but before heading home for the day, they did ask to rehear certain testimony as jurors reconvene today in the first criminal trial of an american president. former president trump, during day one of deliberations, they asked to rehear portions of testimony, including from the very first witness, former tabloid publisher david pecker. and it also did ask for some
5:07 am
testimony from michael cohen, which suggests that they didn't write off his testimony. we, as the defense asked them to do. the jury also wants judge juan merchan to reread his jury instructions. they want to understand the fine legal points of the law, and this is not unusual. the judge directed the jury to set aside any biases for or against mr. trump, who claims this case is election interference. and then what is very unfair is that i'm not campaigning in this room all day long. president biden and vice president harris were on the campaign trail wednesday, making their pitch to black voters in pennsylvania. carmen and i are president and vice president of the united states because of you. that's not hyperbole. biden painting his political rival as a threat to democracy. he calls insurrectionists who stormed the capitol patriots, patriots. what
5:08 am
you think would happen if black americans had stormed the capitol? trump's legal fate is now in the hands of 12 jurors. both presidential candidates are using his legal woes to make their case for reelection. voters will have the final say this november, and if convicted, former president trump faces anything from probation to prison time. and even if he is found guilty, trump can still be elected president. marcus ginger all right. thank you. brie jackson live there from washington. definitely watching out for that verdict. watch now a stinging setback for scott peterson's legal team and their effort to win him a new trial. a san mateo county judge denied nearly all of the dna testing requests from peterson's defense team yesterday, allowing just one of his team's 14 requests the retesting of duct tape found on laci peterson's body. peterson appeared virtually for the hearing. attorneys for la's
5:09 am
innocence project are leading his case as he serves a life sentence for the 2002 murder of his wife and unborn son. his former defense attorney, mark geragos, believes this ruling still renews hope to clear him if you can develop a profile of this duct tape as a result of the kind of, the more robust techniques available in the scientific arena now than there was 20 years ago. and that leads to a profile of somebody else, and that somebody else, is a viable suspect. yes. that's a way to unravel this. stanislaus county prosecutors argued testing had already been done in many cases and repeated dna testing is protected under victim family protection laws. they also maintain what peterson's team calls a bloody mattress, found years after peterson's conviction, in fact, that it contains no blood. another hearing is scheduled for july. today is the deadline for
5:10 am

5:12 am
right now it's got the lowest on our chart for 57. in south san francisco. that's the arco on westborough boulevard. best price in san jose is excel gas and mart on north first street. that's for 65. i've been to that one on north first. it's not far from the station. hint the lowest listed for richmond is for 69 united oil on 23rd street. that rounds out our list . we've got all this information of course. gasbuddy.com. you can report your local stations on the roadways. a smooth flow of traffic, mostly green, a call out, a crash that was on the grid. it should be cleared soon at. oh, there it is. it's cleared from the grid. balfour. no problem there for byron highway as well. so smooth drive down from the east bay, contra costa county to 580 over there. you see, we're at speed there. and even vasco road, the route we're talking about at your minimum. back to you. all right. thanks, mike. well, those gas prices and the high cost of living, they're impacting young americans and their parents. a head on today in the bay. the sacrifice families are now making to help each other. make

5:14 am
5:15 am
5:16 am
at walnut creek, where we have a clear start not only here but all across the bay area. it's a nice cool morning, but it's going to heat up quickly for us. parts of the east bay, the north bay, as well as the south bay anywhere away from the coastline. we're headed for the mid 80s for this afternoon, and we'll take a look at our weekend forecast coming up. when i was looking at the san mateo bridge, going to tell you everything's just fine westbound those tail lights. but this set of lights right here, i've been watching it flashing lights over in the right lane or service area. i'll try to sort out more details and i'll certainly watch to see if there's more break tapping coming up. well good morning. very happy thursday to you. we get some important inflation numbers tomorrow that's gotten better. but inflation fears are still pushing bond prices up. and the market's down though we're still near all time records thanks in part to the
5:17 am
amazing performance of santa clara's nvidia crm. that's salesforce with revenue numbers coming in short of expectation up arrow yesterday. but that stock fell 17% in after hours trading. meta will start the workday without sheryl sandberg on the leadership team for the first time in many years since 2008. she says she'll concentrate on her nonprofit, lean in. also, the name of her book. back in 2013, the wall street journal says donald trump and elon musk are talking about some kind of position for musk in a trump white house. this is video of musk serving on an industry advisory council in 2016. he quit after trump pulled the us out of the paris climate accords. the rest of the team, more than a dozen ceos quit and mass after trump's both sides comment on charlottesville. the journal says musk did not return their calls for comments on the
5:18 am
story. the feds out with its beige book, its quarterly look at how the economy is doing through stories and not numbers. it described the employment situation on the west coast, the san francisco region, to be in a, quote, lock in situation. employees are generally not laying off employees as workers, not quitting as often. in recent years. well, they're laying off at phoenix labs, the video game maker with offices in foster city, tells the state it's cutting 162 people there less, it says, i think it's its third layoff in less than a year. and amazon says it will bundle its subscription to grubhub with prime membership. prime members will not pay a delivery fee on deliveries costing $12 or more, and grubhub will be embedded right into the amazon app. so you still pay, you know, those little extra fees. and i always suspect the food costs a little bit more. but yeah, and then i say i'm never going to use those
5:19 am
things. and then some lazy morning. it's like, ooh, breakfast. that would be great. yeah and that's how you end up with a $30 omelet. i've done it before. i've done it before. i've had it delivered here. i should delete it from my phone. no, don't do that. no. especially when it's raining and you don't want to go anywhere, right? that's a good one. thanks, scott. well, maybe some parents are asking for some grubhub from their from. some kids are asking for their parents. new this morning more than 60% of parents have made at least one financial sacrifice to help their adult children. a new report from bankrate finds parents have sacrificed emergency savings, paying off debt, their retirement savings or reaching some other financial milestone. more than a quarter of adults aged 23 or older have received financial assistance from their parents for rent or help buying their first home, as well as support for everyday expenses. pretty. yeah yeah yeah. guilty all right. well, a surprising moment is captured on
5:20 am
camera during court proceedings in michigan. take a look at this . a man appears virtually in front of a judge while behind the wheel. so this is all despite the fact that the man you see right there at the bottom of the screen, he has a suspended license. yeah. so the judge visibly in shock, like, wait a minute, are you doing. i think you're doing. so this is corey harris. sorry, corey. yeah. corey's public defender requested a four week adjournment, but it was denied that judge ordered him to turn himself in to jail by the end of that day, there's no word of if he actually went back home. he said he was actually pulling up to his doctor's office. oh yeah. he was like. the funny part was, i'm showing up at jail. well, he shows up on the screen and the judge looks and he's like, what are you doing? he's like, i'm pulling up to the doctor's office. just one second. he said, are you stationary? just one second pulls into the spot. he's like, there, i'm here. and he was like. and the judge goes, i'm confused now. are you here for didn't he have a suspended
5:21 am
license? and he's like, yeah. and then the guy's like, oh yeah. oh that's why i'm here. oh my goodness. if you get a chance to see it online, take a moment. i thought this was like what? like you're you're on trial for robbing a bank. and then you're just like, with the money, like a bag of money and a ski mask, and it's like you, the bags have that big old dollar sign on them, like you're kind of like, what's the lesson here? don't get a suspended license and then don't drive on. so many lessons. so many lessons. so you don't know where. oh, corey. oh, he's looking at his scheduler. oh, i thought this was a different court date. oh, those are the other charge. common sense is not common. let's start out this morning with a look at a clear sky across the bay area. and it is also nice and cool. we are going to see a really nice day, but it's going to heat up quickly for much of the inland areas and then the weekend will be slightly cooler, but with next week we're expecting some
5:22 am
summer like heat. we'll take a look at that right now we're in the low 50s in san francisco, but it is 60 in martinez. a little bit more breezy there keeping those temperatures up. we're in the low 50s in morgan hill. and as we check out san francisco, such a beautiful start. it's nice to be able to see a clear sky. and that's what also gives us slightly warmer temperatures, like what we will see going into today with upper 60s and even a few low 70s there. but the temperature spread out once you get away from the coastline in the inner bay, oakland will see a high of 77, but if you're in concord, it is 89 degrees 87 in morgan hill and also 87 in santa rosa. tomorrow. also very warm for the valleys. while the coastal areas will be chilly only 64 degrees for half moon bay. while we'll be in the mid 80s for the south bay. and then looking at saturday, we're going to be cooling off a few degrees and looking ahead for san jose. are
5:23 am
you ready for this? our first 90 degree day possibly coming for the middle of next week. so we're going to enjoy this cooler weather while we have. we know june's coming. we're eventually going to have some high heat here, but we are also going to once again have warm temperatures today. but that may not compare to what we have coming next week. mike. all right. we're looking over here, the san mateo bridge. good news. whatever was going on in the service lane has cleared traffic flowing a little more smoothly now. and i see more traffic over the high rise. so that's great for the westbound commute. the commute in general looks great right now as we're looking at a smooth flow of traffic. we still have that fire. we're tracking castro valley on lake chotab

5:26 am
first money set aside for 40,000 people as inflation relief payments. as we reported last week, the state will move more than $360 million from the better for families fund into the state's general fund. well, some of that money is administrative costs that the state didn't wind up spending, but $20 million is cash. the state couldn't get to those 40,000 people. so how do you tell if you're one of the 40,000. well if you didn't get a payment from the state back in 2022 or aren't sure, we have a couple options. first, you can

laura garcia is off this morning and we will get to those stories ahead. but first, only here in silicon valley. the creators of this cybertruck powered coffee shop, they're going to join us live to showcase their invention. don't miss that. that's pretty cool. all right, well, you know what else is cool ? this forecast, at least for now. meteorologist kari hall has a look at what's going on or what we can expect today. it's going to heat up like coffee later on today. it's going to be hot this afternoon for some of us. here's a live look outside in san rafael as we're getting out the door and heading to work. it is a clear view, and in mountain view we have our temperatures going from low 60s to 76 degrees at noon and in the low 80s for later today. not too bad there. some of us still enjoying some nice and spring like weather, but it will feel more like summer in concord where the high will hit 89 degrees and 91. in fairfield. we'll talk about the weekend coming up. mike, you're still tracking an overturned truck?
5:32 am
yeah, exactly. it's a refrigeration truck, by the way. so there's some fluids out there and that's part of the cleanup. westbound coming in from casa de fruta in toward highway 101 and gilroy. that direction closed at ferguson road. i wasn't sure if you could get to ferguson road, but the speed sensors do seem to indicate folks are using that as your alternate bloomfield to the south of there. and those will be options for folks coming in now for the most of the rest of our viewers, everything moves very smoothly. that first slowing has gotten to 101 in san jose, right above where it says san jose. there a smooth flow of traffic throughout the east bay. the bay bridge toll plaza. no major backups, but ginger over in castro valley. we did have a marker. that's your story. thanks, mike. and we are following that breaking news story. that story as well, here in the east bay. this one has to do with a massive fire at a popular neighborhood gathering spot. today in the bay's bob redell is live for us. this is near the lake chabot public market in castro valley. so, bob, are firefighters making any
5:33 am
progress here? sadly not in terms of saving the lake chabot public market, which you can see behind me. they have made progress in the sense that this fire is contained. it's not quite out yet, but it's not at risk of spreading. but unfortunately, the structure and the businesses inside, they're destroyed. and as i mentioned, they were able to keep the fire contained to the market and prevented this from spreading to an auto repair shop next door. and homes on the backside. this, if you're not familiar, is a huge loss for the community battalion chief, who was raised here in castro valley. he's with the alameda county fire department who ate lunch here a lot, says this market, which is family owned, was a pillar of castro valley fire. start around 220 this morning. it grew so large the fire department had to call for a third alarm. firefighters were fighting on the inside for roughly an hour that first hour, but eventually they had to pull out as the roof
5:34 am
began to collapse. and as we're getting some sunlight here, i can see that the roof, looks like it's completely gone. inside were six businesses, according to the public markets website. and the signage i'm looking at outside. there was a butcher, a barbecue place, a milk and cookie bar, a poke bar, a ramen place, and a boba tea place. all of that now gone in. one of the owners is, you know, childhood friend of mine. we grew up together, you know, went to high school together. so this is a pinnacle in the community, it's really sad to see this happen. we, we tried the best we could. we were in there for about an hour on the interior working, and the roof started to give way, and we had to pull out. an investigator will be out here later to try to determine the cause of this devastating fire. but the battalion chief you just heard from tells us it does not appear to be suspicious. they said that when they were inside fighting, they did see a source of gas that was fueling the fire. don't know if that was the cause or if that was just something that happened after the fire started to
5:35 am
destroy things in this building, a lake chabot road, which is right behind where the camera position is, is shut down for a couple of blocks in each direction of the public market. again, the lake chabot public market, a loss this morning, fire department alameda county fire department said they tried to do their best, but this fire was just too big. but they were able to keep it contained to just this structure and not have it spread anywhere else. reporting live here in castro valley, bob redell. today in the bay. thanks. a lot, bob. a little bit of silver lining there, but still a lot of damage. tough one there. well, take a look at this new overnight. the manhunt for the escaped inmate comes to an end. so in a video, the san benito county sheriff says daniel lopez zavala was captured last night in san jose. now, who you were seeing there? the woman that is his girlfriend, luis mendoza. she's also arrested and is believed to have helped him during that escape. the two were found in a hotel room. you might recall zavala escaped from the
5:36 am
san benito county jail on tuesday morning. the county sheriff says lack of staffing contributed to him being able to escape, and we continue to wait on the jury. in former president donald trump's first criminal case, all eyes on the courthouse in new york city. meanwhile, scott mcgrew all kinds of claims and counterclaims flying back and forth on social media. and some of it. marcus. not true. i know that's shocking. i will get to those in a moment. as far as the case goes, the judge in the case has told trump to stick around the courthouse in manhattan as the jury enters its second day of deliberations. trump, of course, charged with falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment made to an adult film star to silence her claims ahead of the 2016 election that they had a had an affair years earlier. the jury is asked to go over the testimony of the first witness in the case again, david pecker from the national enquirer. pecker testified he made a deal
5:37 am
with trump to quash bad news about him, including another alleged affair with the playboy model. so social media, many people making a big deal this morning that the judge in the case did not allow the jury to take a written copy of the jury instructions into the jury room. the jury instructions are not a secret. you can print them out off the internet, but new york law has a peculiarity. it does not allow juries to take the instructions with them. they can ask all the questions they want. they can ask them to be reread, but they don't get a copy. so it's the state and not the judge that made that decision. there's also a lot of confusion over what the jury has to agree on. remember, in new york, business record fraud is a misdemeanor unless you fake the records in an attempt to cover up another crime, and then it's a felony. when considering the linchpin crime, the jury has to be unanimous that trump is guilty, that he faked business records.
5:38 am
what's unusual is the second part a juror has to think trump meddled in the election by committing any one of several crimes that'll bring it up to a felony. it doesn't matter which crime. that's a technicality. trump keep stoking the confusion. nobody knows what the crime is because there's no crime. nobody knows what the crime is. the da didn't name the crime. they don't know what the crime is. that's what the problem is. all right. let me put this another way. jurors have to be unanimous that trump committed a crime by falsifying business records. that's did he do it? prosecutors say trump did it in order to cover up important information from voters. that's the why. and election meddling brings the crime up to a felony. the how did he meddle could be any one of many different actions, so long as he took one of the actions, this one or that one. the jury doesn't have to agree on which one. so long as they
5:39 am
agree it happened. president biden is largely been refraining from commenting on the case in order to avoid feeding the incorrect claim that his justice department is behind the prosecution. it is not biden and vice president harris in pennsylvania wednesday looking to boost the black vote. today 1 in 3 women and more than half of black women of reproductive age live in a state with an abortion ban, a trump abortion ban on and if he wins a second term, i promise you he's going to go even further. so all of this is to say, who sits in the white house matters now. we continue to wait for word from the jury. of course, we will break in with a special report the minute ginger, we know the jury has a verdict and we will be watching closely for that. scott. thank you. now, the trial involving the man convicted of attacking
5:40 am
speaker emerita nancy pelosi's husband continues today. opening statements in the state's case got underway yesterday. prosecutors wasted no time getting to the most graphic evidence. they showed video to the jury of david depape hitting paul pelosi in the head with a hammer at his san francisco home . the convicted attacker is public. defender did not dispute the evidence, but instead asked the jurors to consider depapes mental state. at that time, prosecutors say paul pelosi could take the stand as early as tomorrow. now. depape was previously sentenced to 30 years in prison for the attack as part of a federal case. well, now to a live look in san jose, where today, city leaders are issuing a new call for greater transparency when it comes to hundreds of millions of dollars in recent homeless funding. a new state audit finds san jose not adequately accounted for spending $300 million over the past several years. later today, two council members, including
5:41 am
district seven ben dwan, will call for a comprehensive san jose audit to ensure that the money went to the proper places. we deal into the weeds and find out where is that money? where did it go? and we need to if it's gone to other jurisdiction that doesn't belong to them, we want to make sure we recover that. the audit will also call for new accountability in the city's response to homelessness and exploring options to improve it. a new warning from police in san rafael. be aware of someone approaching you claiming to be a federal agent. that's because they may actually be an imposter. officers are responding to numerous reports of thieves who claim to be federal agents, stealing cash and telling victims that it is illegal. the thieves are targeting immigrants and wearing uniforms resembling fbi or ice agents. now, in some cases, the victim is told there's a deportation order. police are

5:51 am
cybertrucks wherever you see them in the bay area, they turn heads no matter what. and our ears are perking up this morning after we're finding out that this one is giving you a cup of coffee, i'm here with mabel and ming, co-owners of moon wake coffee roasters. thank you so much for waking up with us. and as ginger mentioned, you two left your job in tech to pour your vision into this. tell us a little bit about that. yeah, probably a really crazy decision for the both of us, but i think primarily it was born out of, i guess, two things just wanting to pursue our passions. our hobbies turned passions for coffee, and also just trying to get back to more of that human connection working in tech jobs. it's, you know, it was really disconnected from, you know, the end customer and just the end users that that we were serving. and for us, coffee was just a great reconnection back, you know, to being with people and just sharing what we're passionate about. and we're really enthusiastic about with,
5:52 am
with coffee. so, you know, translating all of the experiences that we've, we've gathered, you know, throughout our years working in tech into something a bit more. i think for us, definitely more fulfilling and hopefully something that we can share with more people and enjoyable. i love that a latte for you. thank you for sharing that with me. now a special treat mabel is going to get to work and brew us up a cup. and now i have ming tell me a little bit about the technology because you go up to this thing and you just say, oh my goodness, all of the technology and the power, the setup you had this morning. incredible. not only tell me about how many cups you can make a day, but really the power behind this truck and why you went with this design. yeah, when we were looking for what can really do commercial volume, like up to the level of a cafe, this truck kind of stood out. it has over 9000w, and it's centered around this platform we built around this full commercial espresso machine. so it has two 40v and it's the perfect application to, you know, brew tons and tons of
5:53 am
coffee, you asked about the amount. i think our record so far is like 300 cups in like a 3.5 hour service, and we could probably do more and i think that whole day we used 10% of the battery capacity or energy, so yeah, tons of energy, it's just a really nice platform, we welded this custom one that all of this equipment sits on, and it folds up and just slides in and out of the truck bed. so, yeah, super easy to set up, super powerful and then. yeah, creates a really nice, you know, attraction for the eye as well. and what's, like a popular question you get from adults or kids when they see you guys pull up and just see what you're doing out of this. yeah. i think the biggest question is, you know, why? why or or can you actually, you know, drive home at the end of the day and. yeah, and for us, it's just the technical specs all matched exactly what we wanted. and,
5:54 am
yeah, surprisingly, it doesn't take that much energy compared to just driving around normally to, you know, power your entire cafe equipment. so yeah. awesome. well, thank you very much, ming. as a climate girl myself, i love the energy aspect to it. i love coffee, so you guys are some of my favorite guests that i've had so far. okay, mabel is almost done with my cup of coffee. i'm going to drink that. i'll send it back to you guys. but coming up in the next hour, i'll tell you where you can find them around the bay area. and what's next for this husband and wife. i'll send it back to you. that's pretty cool. i want to know about cup holders. ask him about cup holders. we'll get that later. cup holders. okay? okay. sounds good. cheers cheers. all right. is it starting out with hot coffee this morning? because it feels nice and cool. but as she mentioned later today, you might want to switch over to some iced coffee as our temperatures get hotter. here's a live look outside in dublin with a clear sky. as we're waking up and heading out on this thursday
5:55 am
morning, the weekend will be slightly cooler all across the bay area, but the summer like heat surges in for our first week of june and tomorrow night we can enjoy some baseball right here on nbc bay area. if you're going to oracle park, it's going to be in the upper 50s, so feeling cool and windy there. and we're going to see a wide range in temperatures. how nice the weather is really depends on where you are. it's a beautiful 71 in san mateo with that high temperature today dublin will be a little warmer with some low 80s and then upper 80s for concord, 87, in morgan hill and in santa rosa, napa today 84 fairfield hits the low 90s for this afternoon, and it's still going to be hot tomorrow. while the coastal areas are staying in the 60s into the day on saturday, we're looking at some upper 70s for san jose as well as much of the east bay ukiah. it's going to be very warm here today, but nothing compared to

what we have. are you ready for your first triple digit temperatures? we may see that by the middle of next week. so we're watching out for that surge of some high heat coming our way toward the middle of next week. a lot of our inland areas are going to have a nice cool down this weekend with upper 70s on saturday and sunday, and mike, it seems like it's a fairly normal commute for us. not bad right now. we're looking at a smooth drive here. southbound 880 through fremont, actually past the home of where that cyber truck coffee truck was built. it's by tesla, a smooth drive. volume was a little heavier for a couple minutes, but things have calmed down. the sensors never showed any slowing. that's here. 680 also smooth coming down through sunol out of pleasanton and off the dublin interchange north. 101 shows your traditional slowing ride around the airport, coming up from six 8280 and not a major issue. we're looking at the rest of the bay and the backup is building at the bay bridge, and that's really the only real slowdown you have. back to you. thanks, mike. well, happening now, a new lifeline
