breaking news right now at six. officers move in on the protest encampment at uc santa cruz. the new orders being issued to protesters overnight. fallout

from the historic conviction conviction of former president donald trump. we'll break down what's next and the possible impact on the race for the white house. plus, moving san jose forward. new proposed cuts as the mayor stares down a budget crisis and the clarity people may receive as soon as this weekend. this is today in the bay. good morning. i'm ginger conejero saab in for laura garcia, and i'm marcus washington. we'll get to that forecast for you in just a second. but first, mike noho has been tracking some breaking news along the peninsula. that deadly accident this morning, mike. that's right, folks, a northbound 101 really jammed up. we have our photographer looking south. so coming toward us is northbound 101 still down to just one lane. you see how those cones quickly funnel you over to just one lane, instead of the five that you normally would see traveling north around san antonio. that's the exit you see over on this side. the onramp is blocked. no access to north 101

at san antonio. as we look at the maps and we saw the progress there with the flatbed tow truck, you see, it's jammed up from about shoreline. if you get over to bayshore road, that will take you past the scene. same thing for middlefield, el camino, or 280, which keeps you completely clear that one section of the peninsula continues to be jammed up for shoreline down to san antonio road north of there. everything's okay. and then north of that and east of that, everything looks really good for the morning commute. carrie. that's a beautiful drive. a beautiful look at the bay bridge toll plaza with really no backup. just a pause to pay for some electronically, of course. yeah, that's a reminder to grab the sunglasses as you're heading out. temperatures starting out a little bit warmer. upper 50s and low 60s as you head out the door. and our high temperatures will be back to what you saw yesterday. very warm for the inland areas and nice and cool and comfortable for the coast. in parts of the inner bay. we will talk about a cool down in our weekend forecast that's coming up in a few minutes, as well as what to expect with some of the events going on around the bay area back to you, ginger marcus. thank you carrie. we

begin with breaking news in santa cruz this morning, where it has been a chaotic night. we're taking a look at some video here where the situation appears to have been getting more tense this morning. law enforcement officers are trying to break up a blockade at the west entrance to the uc santa cruz campus. now, earlier this week, pro-palestinian activists set up the makeshift blockade and as a result, that campus was closed. classes have been held virtually, witnesses tell our crew at the scene. some arrests have been made, but that is not yet confirmed. the chp has, however, already declared this an unlawful assembly. multiple law enforcement agencies are assisting our tom jensen is there. he will have a live report in our next half hour. well, our other top story for you this morning, this is the landmark verdict against president, former president donald trump. now, jurors in new york yesterday convicted the

former president on all 34 counts. this was falsifying business records. all this to keep quiet. his alleged affair with adult actress ahead of the 2016 presidential election. now, his attorney, todd blanch, tells today trump plans to appeal that verdict, but he says he's ultimately not surprised by the decision. we fought this case for over a year before we started trial in april, and a lot of what came into trial and evidence and a lot of what didn't come in is, is a reason why the jury obviously reached the verdict. they did so shock and surprise at what happened, not not really. i mean, i think we didn't know. he also says some of that evidence includes tax records, which were not allowed. he says that the judge limited trump's team in cross examination today in the bay's brie jackson live in washington this morning for us. okay, so, bree, what's the reaction this morning on capitol hill? good morning marcus. so former president trump and his allies

are pushing back against the verdict. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell says these charges should have never been brought. and he says he expects them to be overturned. and on appeal, former president donald trump found guilty of all 34 counts of falsifying business records, marking the first time a former president has been convicted of a crime. this was a rigged, disgraceful trial. shock and surprise that what happened not not really. i mean, i think we didn't think we were going to get a fair shake in manhattan and we didn't. manhattan district attorney alvin bragg brought the criminal charges against trump. i did my job. our job is to follow the facts and the law without fear or favor. former trump attorney michael cohen was a key witness in this trial. he testified that trump knowingly made payments to adult film star stormy daniels in an effort to cover up an alleged affair before the 2016 election.

it's accountability. it's exactly what america needs right now. republicans are rallying around their presumptive gop nominee. i can't believe the hoax this sham, this absolute injustice justice system. in a statement, the biden campaign said it respected the rule of law. both presidential candidates are using trump's legal battles to gain support. americans are divided over the former president's conviction. i think that if we have a president that's possibly be a felon, i don't think that's good for the country. i'm not sure that it may might sway it a little bit for trump because of us seeing how unfair that was to him. voters will have their say in november, and trump's lawyer says an appeal is coming soon. the former president is set to be sentenced on july 11th, and that's just four days before the republican national convention. marcus and i guarantee folks

will be watching. all right, brie jackson in washington this morning. brie. thank you. 606 now paul pelosi is expected to take the stand today against his attacker in the state criminal trial against him. david depape is already serving a 30 year sentence after his federal conviction. this week, the state trial began and yesterday jurors saw the now infamous video of depape hitting pelosi with a hammer at his san francisco home. they also heard testimony about his statements following his arrest. defense attorneys are not disputing the evidence. instead they are raising questions about depapes mental state. well, deputies are revealing video of a violent attack this week on a vta platform they say led to a lengthy standoff and finally an arrest. now we are about to show that video, and i want to warn you that it may be hard to watch. so investigators say that that suspect randomly attacked a man at a vta station. this is near the san jose children's

discovery museum wednesday afternoon. you see it right there. you can see that victim get repeatedly punched and kicked. authorities say that he suffered some serious cuts and abrasions, but is expected to make a full recovery. the attacker allegedly ran from that scene and then barricaded himself inside a nearby home. authorities later arrested 26 year old andrew perez. he is now facing charges including attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon. san jose mayor matt mahan delivers his state of the city address tomorrow. now here's a live look at san jose, where the city right now is facing a $52 million budget shortfall. that usually means deep budget cuts or layoffs. mehan plans to lay out his solutions for the deficit before making the budget public next monday. now, we spoke with mayor mehan this week on how that money will be used. the way we're balancing the budget is we're using our homelessness and affordable housing dollars more flexibly to meet the urgent need on our streets, and we're eliminating

vacant roles. but that doesn't mean job cuts. that doesn't mean layoffs or cutting existing jobs. it means not expanding our workforce at a time when we simply can't afford to. and once that budget is unveiled, city council members will hold a vote. the following week. the budget is supposed to be adopted on june 18th. tomorrow those state of the city address will be at 9 a.m. at happy hollow park. happening tomorrow. hawaii is expanding its power shut off program in anticipation of a dry summer, which could pose a risk for wildfires. hawaiian electric says starting tomorrow, it may preemptively shut off power in areas which have long periods of forecasted high winds and dry conditions. this comes after that deadly fire ripped through the island of maui last august. the islands affected in the shut off are maui, oahu and hawaii. hawaiian electric says that it will expand that program to all high risk areas on islands it serves. taking a live look now

at san francisco, the beautiful transamerica building, there, it looks like it's going to be a good start to the weekend. meteorologist kari hall has more. kari, is that is that going to happen? is that going to continue? it's going to be nice as we go into the weekend. few changes for mainly the inland areas where we are going to see some cooler temperatures. as we start out with a live look outside in fremont, we are right now enjoying that sunshine and temperatures in the upper 50s with a calm wind as we go throughout the morning, we can see the trend going up to 70 at 10:00 and 77 degrees for your lunch hour, we're going to see also some upper 70s and low 80s there. fremont a high of 82 degrees 73 in san mateo and in fairfield. it's still hot up to 91, while san jose will see temperatures in the mid 80s. and we will see those numbers coming down for the valleys tomorrow to give us a nice weekend. we'll talk about what's ahead. coming up, mike, you've been watching the roads and also what to

expect with those gas prices. yeah. you know we're going to talk about those lowest around the bay. i'll bring those to you coming up folks. we'll tell you about fremont actually where we do have a lower price. there for 39 at valero on grimmer boulevard in the north bay, vallejo's best is for 49 at central gas on springs road. and in the south bay, we shine a light on cupertino, car wash with that city's low of 453. in the north, de anza boulevard wanted to show you that this is a typical friday for most of the bay, but we continue to follow this. the one exception is this section of 101 northbound deadly crash early this morning at 3:00 caused all lanes to close. we do have one lane open and a crew on scene. north 101, one lane open and live shot shows you that they have removed one of the vehicles that was in the middle of the freeway. i'm hoping for more lanes to open in the next few minutes. back to you. good to know. thanks, mike. well, tiktok counting down to a federal ban coming up this morning. we're going to talk about those new measures the social media giant is taking in effect to prove the app operates freely from its owner in china.

plus. we go there. the kurando nomura. and get ready to ride the wave to the largest latin festival in northern california. we have everything you need to know ahead of the first ever la honda music festival. we'll be right back. you're watching today in the bay

thing out pleasant hill and what to expect. there's going to be a fairly quick warm up here, going from low 60s at 7:00 to a noontime temperature of 83 and still heating up even more. so from there, we're going to have a hot end of the month, but then we welcome in june with cooler temperatures, we'll talk about that coming up in a few minutes. and the one major issue in the bay area right now here, northbound 101 at san antonio road, northbound down to one lane. still, because of those cones, we cannot let traffic through, but it does look like they're making progress. some vehicles are clearing from the middle of the freeway. i see caltrans crews moving around as well. over on the left side, they're inspecting that yellow rig to see if it can be towed, to make sure it can be safely pulled from the area. still just one lane open. i'm waiting for an update from chp. thanks, carrie and mike. wall street is set for a mixed open this morning as investors gear up for a key report on inflation.

markets are coming off another negative session. the dow is on track for back to back weekly losses, while the s&p and nasdaq are set to end a five week winning streak now in focus today, the monthly pce report or personal consumption expenditures index, which is the federal reserve's preferred measure of inflation. it is expected to show inflation is making very slow progress in falling to levels where the fed would feel comfortable cutting interest rates. now, tiktok is reportedly working on cloning its algorithm to create a us only version that would work independently from its chinese parent company, bytedance. reuters says tiktok is trying to show u.s. lawmakers the business operates freely from its owner in beijing. tiktok is already suing the us government over a new law which gives bytedance until january 19th to pass control of the app to someone else or face a ban. tiktok, however, is denying the reuters report. while the white house is now promising a full scale

review of this year's botched rollout of the new fafsa college application process. now it was problematic from the start. this is when the education department launched a new process for submitting financial aid applications. technical issues led to long delays, and because inflation tables were never adjusted, it led to more delays on the normal time, families would learn about where they fall in line with the qualifying for financial aid. now, many colleges ended up extending admission notification deadlines, the doe now promising its own full scale review of the federal student aid office. the peninsula, celebrating a milestone this week, tomorrow marking the beginning of the 90th year for the san mateo county fair. this year's lineup includes music, amusement rides and of course, all of that delicious food. don't forget to bring the pepto-bismol. maybe all right, so the event is happening tomorrow through the ninth, but it is closed on monday and tuesday. gates open at 11 a.m. each day. adult tickets will run you about $15.

you know, sometimes people say it's worth it. no it is. i'm talking to myself. bring the pepto. no, give me the food. give me the medicine afterwards. but you know what? also, some big things happening across the bay area this weekend. the largest latin music festival up in northern california is coming to napa valley. the new event is called la onda. and some of the world's best known acts are set to take the stage on annabelle no me digas no. the weekend festival brings together 30 musical artists spanning multiple genres, including mana, who you just heard. the band's manager jason gardiner, is putting on the event, and he says he's always wanted to create an event for napa valley's flourishing hispanic community. la onda kicks off tomorrow and lasts until sunday. now, tickets are available through the festival's website, website. yeah, we just had bottle rock. yeah, a lot of music. that's great. napa is becoming the spot. hello well, you know the music, the dancing is going to be hot, but will the

weather. yeah, going to be perfect. you know, last weekend when we had bottle rock, we were just saying, wow, what a nice weekend for memorial day. this weekend is going to be pretty nice too, whether you're doing that or a lot of the other events, the temperatures are coming down, so we're not going to see the heat. we are expecting today. it's going to be in the upper 70s and it's nice during the middle of the afternoon on sunday, maybe a touch warmer, but overall lots of sunshine and san mateo. we've got the county fair once again. it's going to be in the upper 60s both saturday and sunday. starting out with a few clouds early, but it will be clearing out as we go throughout the day. now tonight we've got the giants game out at oracle park, and here's where we have some really cool weather. we're going to see temperatures in the mid 50s and some gusty winds, and make sure you're bundled up for that. that's after hitting a high temperature of 66 for today. san mateo will see a high of 73 and will be in the mid to upper 80 for the inland east bay. really

just depends on where you are. so what kind of weather you'll experience and you'll want to be dressed and maybe even prepare for it all as you drive around. this weekend will be slightly cooler with a high of 73 in fremont and 75 in livermore. in the north bay, it will be in the upper 70s and low 80s. and then on sunday we're going to see more of those same temperatures. and the good thing is that the low is happening this weekend and not in the middle of next week when our temperatures spike. it's going to be so hot for a couple of days next tuesday, wednesday, possibly thursday, we'll be in the upper 80s and even mid 90s. so we're going to see those temperatures heating up quickly, going through next week. but once again we can enjoy the nice and mild weather as we welcome in june. and then it'll really feel like june for the middle of next week with our temperatures heating up in san francisco into the mid 70s. mike, you're saying that the cones are still out on the highway, still across highway 101, leaving only one lane open. all these other lanes

are blocked. but notice all the emergency vehicles, the chp vehicles and the tow trucks have been clearing from the area. caltrans crews are still on scene. i did see a couple of crews circle through the area. no word on when they're going to reopen the other lanes. one open northbound 101 at san antonio road and the onramp still blocked. they're checking out the condition of that rig trying to pull that from the roadway. i hope to have more detail from chp soon, but we'll look at the map because it's friday. we have a lighter volume, so still slow only from shoreline up to that scene at san antonio road north of there is fine. you can access bayshore road, el camino or middlefield to get past that scene. also, 280 remains clear for the south bay all the way up through san francisco. a few scattered crashes, nothing major. again, the major crash north 101 out of mountain view and into palo alto. look only 19 minutes for your drive out of contra costa county on vasco road down to 580. that's a great easy drive. the metering lights were activated at the bay bridge, and there's a very mild backup. only slow up the incline. back to you. thanks a lot, mike. 612 this morning

celebrating a milestone in life saving medical care ahead. this morning on today in the bay, we mark the last day of aa and nhpi month by highlighting a critical work. the critical work, i should say, of one health service provider to an underserved bay area community. and as we head to break a reminder, the giants are set to battle the yankees tonight at oracle park. coverage starts at 7 p.m. right here on nbc. bay area let's go, giants, and we'll

fy the aanhpi community and we're shining the light on a nonprofit which provides health care for underserved community members. mike inouye is here with more on this story. mike. good morning, marcus and ginger. yeah, folks, this morning we continue to amplify the community. we're shining that light on a group that definitely deserves it. nonprofit. of course, health care for underserved community members like those we're talking about at the asian health services celebrating their 50th anniversary this year. so that's alone quite an accomplishment. but the service has locations all over alameda county. they provide what it calls whole patient health care, primary dental, mental health services. they mainly focus on caring for asian community members regardless of income, insurance or immigration status and one

special service. the patients especially appreciate is they provide care in the language the patients speak, like korean, mandarin, vietnamese. we spoke with the ceo, my friend julia. we spoke to her more about it. i mean, we have patients that come over 30 miles just to come to see us because they know that they can get a provider that speaks their language, but also because we tailor our services to our community's culture. we also spoke to one woman who receives care at asian health services. she says she goes there specifically because they speak shanghainese, along with 13 other languages. they just, service is a perfect. we were underinsured when she came to us , but, asian health services helped us clean up her insurance so that she can get some health care. so they also advocate and support people impacted by asian

hate. they help people understand what was going on when covid quickly impacted our lives. they sponsor legislations, spread awareness and provide programs to help victims navigate their emotions and report the crime, i'm going to host the 50th anniversary celebration later in september. i've been honored to be a part of that celebration for the last five, maybe seven years. so we have quite a history, but they have a much bigger history and big contribution and impact. mike, i got to say, it's a big deal that they speak the native language. huge help. now we've got a lot more ahead. at 630, including breaking news down at uc santa cruz high. good morning. we are here live on the uc santa cruz campus. this situation has really intensified in the last half hour. they're making arrests or at least taking people into custody in mass right now, involved in this palestine solidarity movement here on campus. we have more coming up in a live report you're watching dayto

crash blocking morning commute on the peninsula. we're tracking the impact and updates. a campus clash at uc santa cruz. authorities vow to clear out protesters blocking the main entrance. we're live at the

scene this morning with the growing tensions between protesters and law enforcement guilty on all charges, will yesterday's history making verdict have an impact on the november presidential election? we're getting one new insight. this is from an expert on what's next for donald trump. this is today in the bay. good friday morning i'm marcus washington and i'm ginger conejero saab. let's get right to that traffic alert. mike, you've been tracking it all morning. what's happening now? yeah. this crash, this deadly crash happened at three in the morning. it was first reported north 101 at san antonio road. you see traffic still restricted here by the cones. but look behind me. they're actually actively were picking up cones for the last few minutes. not yet ready to open more than the one lane that's still here again. north 101 bottlenecks to one lane. but they're getting ready. i believe they're getting ready to reopen some more lanes. we are looking over here toward this rig that has to be removed. they've been inspecting it and we'll see. but so far the san antonio road on

ramp will remain closed. as we look at the map that's getting onto north 101, the jam up from about shoreline lighter friday traffic keeps it there and has been there. you can get around 280 northbound through the area as well. despite the smaller crashes that show up around the area. carey. it's a light traffic flow, so no major issues around the bay. that's good stuff. yeah, we're waking up to a beautiful sunrise as we take a live look outside in san jose, and we are going to have another warm day today, wrapping up the month of may with temperatures in some of our inland valleys in the upper 80s, it will be slightly cooler for the weekend and storms moving into the pacific northwest. and next week we'll see summer-like temperatures returning once again. feeling like summer today in livermore, going from 66 degrees at 8:00 to a lunchtime temperature of 84, and will be in the upper 80s throughout much of the afternoon. and we will see those temperatures in the peninsula in the low 70. san francisco 66 degrees and 83, in novato. so you can see our microclimates in full effect temperatures ranging about 30

degrees all across the bay area. we will have a slight cool down as we head into the weekend. with tomorrow's high temperatures in the low 70s, so we'll be tracking that and talking about more of some events going on. coming up in a few minutes. back to you, carrie. thank you. well, breaking news this morning at uc santa cruz. this is where chp officers moving in on the campus, clashing with palestine solidarity demonstrators today on the base. tom jensen live for us over in santa cruz. and tom. chp officers and those demonstrators, they actually started to clash as they were trying to clear out the encampment. that's right. good morning. marcus and it really it really began at about midnight when this huge force of police showed up on campus here, not just chp. chp is in charge of this action here, but we see san francisco police here, police from santa cruz, a number of different agencies, well over 100 officers here, and they came here and demanded demonstrators

leave, and they've been locked in a standoff until about, half an hour ago or so when they really started arresting people or. and. all right, we're having some issues there with tom's, mic there. of course. we're looking at santa cruz right there. you're seeing this morning that the chp officers were moving in on that encampment there, trying to clear it out. there have been some clashing. tom is there of course. we're going to continue to update you on what's happening there, both here on air as well as live online, because there's so much cell phone activity here. we'll be free. well, so far we do know only about, six or so demonstrators who were taken into custody, but they have not received official arrest numbers from chp this morning. and of course, we will continue to update you on that. and if you are getting information, of course, if you haven't already done so, download our free nbc

bay area app. that way you're going to get those updates. if you haven't already done so. it's located in your app store, and that app would have been very useful yesterday with that historic verdict, it continues to be a historic morning today in the united states. a new york jury has found former president donald trump guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records. this to cover up an alleged affair with adult actress stormy daniels days before the 2016 presidential election, the 12 person jury returned that verdict thursday afternoon after 9.5 hours of deliberations. sentencing for the former president is scheduled for july 11th, just days before the republican national convention in milwaukee. now, trump's attorneys have already said they do plan to appeal now, as you can imagine, there are many questions about the political fallout of this. and joining us to talk about that this morning is doctor melinda, doctor melinda jackson. i'm sorry,

professor jackson, you are a professor at san jose state university talking about political science. you guys have been following this for a very long time, and we're focusing on the fallout this morning. how are you expecting this? where will the cards fall? well, i don't think that this guilty verdict is going to have much impact on trump's core supporters. however, we're going into a general election in november, and he really needs to be thinking about what new voters he can attract. i have a hard time believing that this is going to have a positive impact or attract new votes to him, at this point. hum. well, we talked about it in the last hour. you said those who have allied themselves or aligned themselves with with the former president, you don't expect their votes to change. but when it comes to independent voters, those that are kind of on the fence or more moderate republicans, do you think that this will have a significant impact? i think it

certainly could. and this election is going to be decided by a small number of voters in a few key states. and remember, we have a number of republican voters who actually supported nikki haley or even some of the other candidates in the primaries. for those voters, for the independents out there, particularly for republican women voters, i think we might see some some lessening of support. okay, okay. well, we're talking about the fallout, but we're also we've got our eyes on july 11th. that is the sentencing date that's been scheduled. very significant because it's just days from the national convention, republican national convention. what do you think when that sentence comes down? what do you think that will add to this? and do you have any thoughts on what that sentence will even be? well, we'll have to wait and see it could be anything from probation to up to four years in prison. now, nobody's really thinking that it's going to be the maximum penalty, so it's probably going to be something on the lesser end. but again, in

the eyes of the nation are going to be on that sentencing date. and then we've got the republican national convention right. then certainly trump's supporters are are not going to be happy, whatever the sentence is, and i think, you know, we're going to see some, some protests and some engagement around both conventions this year. very, very interesting. i know the former president making his way to the bay area next week, and i know we also talked about it in the last, last hour. you're watching out specifically for the polls and how those might change next week in the weeks after. yeah it's interesting, up until now, it's all been hypothetical. you know, some polls have asked, well, what if he's convicted? would that change your vote? it's really hard for people to process that now. it's real. now we have a verdict. people who haven't been paying a lot of attention, they're going to see that headline and it's going to start to influence how they're thinking about this election. all right. thank you very much, doctor melinda jackson, professor at san jose state university. political science. fascinating things. thank you so

much for your your time this morning. you're welcome. now, former president trump's attorney, todd blanche, is speaking out this morning on today. the full interview will air coming up at 7 a.m. after today in the bay. marcus notorious killer, richard allen davis, may learn if he will have his death sentence overturned today. in 1993, davis kidnaped and murdered 12 year old polly klaas in petaluma. he abducted her during a slumber party at her mother's home. her body was only found two months later in sonoma county. davis, now 79, his attorneys argue a recent law invalidates the sentencing enhancements from his prior convictions. prosecutors say that that new law does not apply. santa clara county judge is expected to make the final ruling today. happening now a new warning for people in one fremont neighborhood where at least one mountain lion is on the prowl. security video this week shows the big cat scaling a fence. and in another case, a

cat was seen stalking an area near someone's front door. now, it's not clear if the same animal the video is from early wednesday is in an area south of warm springs, the warm springs neighborhood. it's not clear if it's the same animal in both of those videos, but here's a better look at the location of each sighting. a mobile home park on dixon landing road, as well as another sighting on fair meadow way, just two miles away. police are telling neighbors don't run if you see a mountain lion, do not do that. instead, put your hands up to make yourself look as big as possible and make lots of noise. now the peninsula is heating up with the sounds of summer, and tonight downtown redwood city is kicking off its popular series of outdoor events on courthouse square with carnival. it's a santana tribute band, and other acts will also perform during music on the square throughout the month of june. movies on the

square that starts next thursday, with arts on the square coming on june 14th. so a lot to watch out for. city park and rec leaders call it the perfect chance to get out there. you really couldn't have a better place to ask for downtown events. we call it the community living room. it's a wonderful location. there's a vibrant downtown space, and then also our events in redwood city are unique in their size and scope and quality. we really want to bring a professional feel to all of our events beyond what you might expect out of a city. you know, we want to surprise people with how how awesome our events are. well, before you visit there, you can visit the website that's rwc.org for complete details. all right. there's so much to do out there on the square. they had so many events happening. and carrie look weather wise perfect for them to get out there and enjoy it. yes it's been so nice a little bit warm, but it won't be that warm this weekend. by the time the music begins, as you're getting your spot or maybe heading out

for dinner, it will be in the low 70s and then temperatures will drop quickly. so make sure that if you have your chair, you've also got a blanket or also a nice warm jacket, because we're heading down into the upper 50s as we go into the evening in san francisco. also, chilly weather for festa italiana in san francisco. this is both saturday and sunday, and we're seeing temperatures here that will reach into the mid 60s. and these are the gusty winds. we'll see. pick up possibly 25 30mph. calmer winds at the san leandro cherry festival on saturday. we'll see the parade kicking off at 10 a.m. we'll be at 60 degrees. and then throughout the day, sunny and highs up to the upper 60s. so really nice and comfortable. and walnut creek a little bit warmer there for the art and wine festival saturday and sunday. looking at about the same weather with sunshine and temperatures in the upper 70s up to 80 on sunday. and then there's also the ferry festival in oakland, and you can expect for those ferry rides. it will be in the upper 60s. definitely

jacket weather, especially when you add in the wind and also mostly sunny. if your weekend plans include the beach, it's going to be in the upper 60s in santa cruz and our overnight temperatures in low 50s, and we should see that fog rolling away . and mike, you're tracking the on the peninsula. one situation. that's right. the big one on 101 northbound. we continue to see more progress. i just saw them. they put down more absorbance over the last 15 minutes. they've letting it soak into whatever fluids on northbound 101. then they swept it up. it looks like there we go. look at that. they're picking up the cones now. they'll have to pick them up. and this is the really critical part because folks are itching to get back at speed. you see how quickly they gun those engines. so be careful for the crews as you pass them. this is just one example. as we look at the map we're showing you north 101 is starting to back up with more volume hitting the area. so from about 237 passing by 85 and shoreline up to the scene at san antonio road, which the on ramp is still blocked because they have that rig in

the roadway, everything else will be moving smoothly once they clear those roads. those cones from the lanes of northbound 101, everything else in the east bay is moving very smoothly. it's lighter friday traffic and hopefully soon lanes of northbound 101 will have more open, and the on ramp at san antonio road is still closed. so use the embarcadero onramp. that's the next one to the north. back to you. thanks, mike . a grieving mother is opening up about the death of her bay area born daughter two decades ago, ahead on today in the bay, dateline revisits a case that captured the nation. hear what the victim's mother is now saying about a fateful encounter that led to that murder. plus, an invasion of dinosaurs here in the east bay, including one that is been brought back to life. stay with us. you're watching today in the bay

years ago. it was given new life this year, thanks to a group of women. women, rather, i should say, who banded together to honor another young woman born in los gatos who was brutally murdered. all of them were stalked by the same man. i said this guy has done this before. he'll do it again. and he will kill someone because he almost killed me. keith morrison talked with terry hall. she was living in the bay area when her daughter, kristy johnson, disappeared after going to meet

a man for a bogus movie audition in southern california. the man who killed kristy could have faced the death penalty now. morrison says a plea deal means her murderer may soon be paroled. for some reason, they decided that they'd be okay with life, with the possibility of parole after 25 years, making the assumption that he'd never get paroled anyway. and under the rules that existed at the time that he was first convicted, that might have been true. but then they changed the rules so that somebody over the age of 50 who had been behind bars for 20 years was entitled to a parole hearing, and that was him. and he was very, very skillful at working these systems. so that's when the women decided if we don't do something, this psychopath is going to be on the streets again. so watch dateline tonight at 9 p.m. to hear the full story surrounding the death of kristy johnson and how women victimized by the same predator stood up to make sure he never struck again.

well, happening today, getting an early start on pride month, which is right around the corner. some bay area cities are flying their flags starting today. that includes the pride flag raising at the historic beacon grand hotel in the heart of san francisco's union square. that's going to happen at 10 a.m. later across the bay at 1130, oakland leaders, including mayor tsingtao, will raise the pride flag at city hall. all right, ginger, i don't know if you realize this, but today, well, actually, it starts tomorrow. but international dinosaur day is coming up, and many people are so excited about that. it's really a day to get out and celebrate ancient natural history. i can hear all the kids saying, duh! today in the bay's bob redell is getting there ahead of the celebration. he's live this morning at the alameda county fairgrounds. and bob, i know people there trying to bring some dinosaurs back to life. you've got someone special to meet. they are trying. they are trying. here at jurassic

west. this brings back childhood memories. when i went through my dinosaur phase, when i learned that this was a montessori's, i don't actually remember this one. edmontosaurus. okay you can see how how great i am at these names here, styracosaurus. and then my favorite here, the one that we've seen lee seemingly have coming back to life is trixie, that triceratops. her handler. crystal. we got erica, gavins, who's a dino trainer here. so, first of all, is it okay if i pet? of course. pet. okay. oh, she's so cute. wow. and does she know? no, she's not going to bite. okay? she's a herbivore, so she doesn't like me. okay all right, so, what's what's the idea when kids come here, this weekend, they get to meet trixie. they get to meet trixie. they get to just explore dinosaurs, walk into the land of it. they get to see life size dinosaurs, different activities. just again, just joining the world of jurassic. and what's trixie's behavior here? i mean,

first of all, crystal is very well trained. i can see they must have been frightening for her. the first time she held a baby dinosaur. but what is the. this is a real behavior that you would have seen in a six week old. sure, yes, because we know that. because we were all there, right? yeah, yeah. trixie is a little bit of a diva, but she loves, you know, attention. and she's super docile, as you can see. so, yeah, she's super fun to come and play with and pet. so as we look at video of jurassic quest, you we're talking about this earlier. you have a lot of kids. i'm assuming boys and girls are more and girls. yeah. really. okay when i was a kid it was mainly. oh really. and so and they come and they try to show you up. is that correct. oh for sure. yeah. they love telling us. dinosaur facts will be at the dinosaur table and they'll be like actually i think this is a mosasaurus skull. and we're like, you're right. okay. and if the wrong do you throw them out? no we encourage, you know, learning and just growth here. so yeah we love it. and there is some interactive, dinosaurs that you can ride in another building. but we're in the main building here, building a so you can come

in here and see these replicas of these dinosaurs, we'll put this up on the screen, jurassic quest is, starts today or today. yeah. and runs through the weekend here at the alameda county fairgrounds. and if you use the secret code word, you get 10% off. and that secret code work is erica. fossil. fossil. alright, guys, i'm signing up right now. fossil, i wanted to know more about the drunken saurus from the last hour. is he up and up and moving ? the drunkest saurus is now the, passed out. i have a major headache, saurus. but he's going to rally saurus for the weekend. you know, it's friday morning. you know how it is. you know how they say a bloody mary will help? i don't know. all right. we're looking for stuff to do inside. that is just perfect there, you know, a little bit of some air conditioning, but we're going to see the natural air conditioning returning to the bay area with some cooler temperatures. we're waking up, heading out to a milder morning

with a lot of sunshine. we're at 57 now in dublin, and palo alto is at 59 degrees. let's zoom in to the south bay, get a look at our highs for later today. los gatos. yes warm, 88 degrees 85 in san jose and morgan hill, and we'll still see some upper 80s for much of the east bay with danville up to 88 degrees and 87. in walnut creek in oakland, we'll see a high of 75 and 62.5 moon bay. you can see the range and temperatures here, even a short drive from half moon bay over to redwood city. it will be much warmer at 80 degrees. and we're in the low 70s for downtown san francisco. north bay temperatures anywhere from 60s near the coast to 93 in clear lake, so still hot in the valleys. and we are going to have all of our temperatures cooling down for the weekend up to about 80 degrees. more clouds on monday, but then right after that, we're going to see the heat ramping up with our possibly first 90 degree days for some spots. and we'll be in the 60s throughout the weekend in san francisco. mike what's

going on now on a one on one? here's what i believe is happening. they still have one lane open. just one lane. these folks are ready to remove the cones. but on this side i've seen them move around. they just cleared another vehicle with a flatbed tow truck and they're positioning, i believe, to clear this on ramp at northbound 101 and san antonio road. once they clear these vehicles, then i believe then i believe they're going to reopen these lanes with the cones. so it's going to be a gradual process over, i'm hoping less than a half hour, maybe 15 minutes. no confirmation from chp. all i know is what i see. and of course, from 20 years of experience. back to you. i'll take your word for it. mike. thanks. happening now, today is the deadline to get your hands on unclaimed money from the state. it was set aside in 2022 to be given out as inflation relief payments. the people who qualified could receive up to about $1,000. they were supposed to receive it by direct deposit or in the form of a debit card. however, 40,000 people or around 40,000 people have not yet been paid any money not claimed. by

tomorrow goes back to the state we'll be right back
