with a traffic nightmare caused by this. you see right here a meaty mess in the east bay. cars were backed up for miles because of a truck that spilled meat along 880 in oakland tonight. that mess is gone. but the truck it came from still hasn't been found. here's a closer look now at the cleanup. caltrans using trucks with shovels on them to move that mess off the freeway. northbound lanes were closed for about three hours. nbc bay area's pete serratos joins us from near the oakland coliseum, where the lanes are all clear now along 880 north in oakland. but getting to the zach bryant
1:36 am
concert here at the oakland coliseum took a little bit longer than expected as a result of that meat spill on the freeway. now, here's video from earlier this evening. now according to chp, they say that a truck spilled chicken parts along 880 north just before 5 p.m. that truck apparently continued along the freeway and never stopped. now, caltrans was called to clean up the mess, which led to traffic being diverted to high street. so that's when you had miles upon miles of backup traffic this evening. now, the good news is that crews were able to clean up the freeway. so those lanes are reopened. but for concert goers that we spoke to, the drive into the coliseum wasn't exactly ideal. and that was really upsetting because i just want to be at the concert and i'm just like, why am i sitting in traffic? i want to be here. i want to see the openers, but it's hard when we're stuck in traffic. it just makes me feel upset. see the eta on google maps and it says like seven, 7:00. and then by the time we're driving, it's like 815. i'm like, what? what's going on out
1:37 am
there? and by the time we got over here, it's just like gridlock. nothing moving. and when you do go in there, it's just as bad. now, chp says there were four separate crashes as a result of that meat spill, but there were no major injuries. now, they did point out they are still looking for the truck that was involved in this meat spill. if you were on the freeway at the time, they're encouraging anyone to come forward with any information on to report it to chp in oakland. pete serratos, nbc, bay area news. all right, pete, thank you. you are now looking live at san jose. it's cooling down tonight after parts of the bay area soared into the 90s today. and with the heat comes fire danger. you're looking at a brush fire that broke out at california state prison solano in vacaville this afternoon. video from our nbc chopper appears to show the fire spread to at least one building before firefighters put it out. the prison says no one was evacuated, and prison operations were not affected. so you're
1:38 am
probably wondering, what about the weekend? any relief from the heat? so let's go and bring in chief meteorologist jeff ranieri with that answer. well, i do see temperatures beginning to drop a little bit here as we head through this weekend. right now of course, with nighttime settling in, those numbers are cooler. so that is some good news. maybe it was a little too hot for you out there. currently 53 in santa rosa, 60 in concord and 60 right down here towards san jose. so as we roll through tomorrow's forecast, we should start it off mostly sunny through our inland valleys with 50s and 60s. then by the early afternoon we'll be into the low 80s. so still a warm day, but not as hot. now, if you're headed to the coastline, take your jacket. we have fog on and off all day long with 50s and 60s for highs. okay coming up, we're going to talk about an unusual weather pattern developing in the pacific that even has what could be record setting rain. we'll have more looks at this coming up in a few minutes. all right, jeff, we'll see you in a little bit across the bay in san francisco. a lot
1:39 am
of pushing and shoving at a pro-palestinian rally tonight in front of the federal building. let him go. let him go and watch as one protester is even thrown to the ground there, the hundreds of protesters who were gathered there are demanding a ceasefire in the war in gaza. organizers say the u.s. is an active part to israel's genocide of palestinians. that must come to an end. it's been about 220 days now since israel's assault on gaza. more than 40,000 palestinians, including thousands of children, have died in the attacks. a quieter night on the uc santa cruz campus after a day of protester arrests started when police showed up to clear an encampment this morning that led to confrontations between officers and demonstrators and ultimately about 80 arrests. nbc bay area's jocelyn moran is live at the main entrance of the university tonight. jocelyn what's it looking like out there right now
1:40 am
? yeah, well, audrey, as you can see behind me, protesters continue to be in front of the main entrance of the campus. but this is a very small group compared to what we saw earlier this morning before people were arrested. protesters here tonight, though, still trying to bring attention to the war in gaza tonight, pro-palestinian protesters remain at the main entrance of uc santa cruz. throughout the evening, drivers have been honking their horns as they drive by in support of the demonstrators. it's calm tonight . anyone that remains will be arrested. a different scene from what unfolded overnight into this morning. min declared an unlawful assembly. officers from different agencies arrived in riot gear, tearing down the encampment demonstrators had set up. protesters interlocked their arms, united. video shows their arms still interlocked as the sun came up. they deployed 150 units to our campus. for what? what are they even doing here? the university says about 80
1:41 am
people were arrested. in a message this morning, uc santa cruz's chancellor wrote in part, quote, after repeated unanswered calls to have the unlawful encampment voluntarily disband and remove dangerous blockade from the campus entrance, we made the decision to request law enforcement to remove the blockade and encampment. protesters have been demanding the uc system divest from companies supporting israel. the encampment was first set up at quarry plaza, but was moved to the main entrance of the university in the last week, where they had it blocked. we understand that it was a big inconvenience to a lot of people, but, you know, like bigger things are at hand. this all comes as president joe biden is calling on hamas to accept the latest israeli proposal for a cease fire. the proposal would return hostages, release palestinian prisoners and lead to an immediate six week cease fire. the plan would also withdraw israeli forces from populated areas of gaza, and ultimately include a major reconstruction of gaza. hamas says it wants a cease fire. this
1:42 am
deal is an opportunity to prove whether they really mean it. hamas needs to take the deal. meanwhile, at uc santa cruz, police left the area around three this afternoon. that's when protesters returned to the main entrance. one uc santa cruz professor called the actions of campus leadership shameful. these students are saying, don't be complicit. pay attention. open your eyes. speak up world, wake up. and unfortunately, our campus leadership has been completely blind to that call. and the university is standing firm behind its decision, calling it necessary, the chancellor saying its ultimate responsibility is to the safety and well-being of this campus at uc santa cruz. i'm jocelyn moran, nbc bay area news takano. thank you. former president trump is standing defiant tonight, one day after a new york jury found him guilty on
1:43 am
all counts in his falsified documents trial, trump spoke about the historic verdict earlier today. it's a very sad thing that's happening in our country, and it's a it's a thing that i'm honored in a way. i'm honored because somebody has to do it, and i might as well keep going and be the one. and the verdict is galvanizing the gop behind him. trump campaign says they raised $35 million online soon after the verdict came down. meanwhile, democrats are celebrating that decision. president biden spoke at the white house today saying that no one is above the law. it's reckless, it's dangerous. it's irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don't like the verdict. the justice system should be respected and we should never allow anyone to tear it down. trump is expected back in court for sentencing on july 11th. a love triangle may be at the center of a man found murdered
1:44 am
in an east bay park police have finally made an arrest. so you might remember back in february, a woman found her husband, santiago jacobo, stabbed to death at pleasant hill park. police say she went looking for him after he didn't come home from his custodian shift at that park. well, today, police arrested three people. pablo gutierrez morales from concord and antioch residents vanessa vera aguilar and jasmine ruiz in . investigators say the victim and suspects knew each other and all worked together at another job. they also say that the victim was in a relationship with vera aguilar before he was killed. richard allen davis, one of the most notorious killers in bay area history, has lost his bid to have his death sentence thrown out. davis was convicted of the 1993 kidnaping and killing of 12 year old polly klaas from petaluma. he was sentenced to death for his crimes, but his attorneys filed a motion to have that overturned, citing a 2021
1:45 am
sentencing reform law. under that new law, california defendants can have their sentences reconsidered, particularly if that sentence came with so-called enhancements. well, today, a judge in san jose ruled that the new law does not apply to davis's case, and his death sentence will stand. polly's father says he doesn't think davis should have had another chance in court. i mean, it's so and totally and completely unfair to my family and to the memory of my daughter to have to go through something like this all these years later because somebody changed the law. legal analyst stephen clark says the ruling could set a precedent that affects other condemned inmates. right now, california has 638 prisoners with pending death sentences, but governor newsom imposed a moratorium on executions in 2019. a future governor could change that policy. well, just one day
1:46 am
before her deadline, san francisco mayor london breed releases a proposed budget that she says will move the city forward. but local nonprofits say, as it stands, what's on the table now will only set the city back, and they are bracing for more details to come down the pipeline. here's nbc bay area's gia vang, 362 pages. it is a record $15.9 billion budget proposal from mayor london breed for 2024 through 2025, and 15.5 billion proposed for 2025 through 2026. it would close the nearly $790 million shortfall projected over the next two fiscal years. it's not a surprise to debbie luhrmann with the people's budget coalition, a broad based group of about 150 community organizations that partner with the city and county. but it doesn't mean she supports it. we knew that this budget was going to be the worst we'd seen in a decade. the mayor proposes a variety of ways to balance the budget, including
1:47 am
limiting the hiring of city workers, proposing fee increases, and cutting some nonprofit contracts. the latter, debbie, says she was promised a more detailed list tonight that hasn't arrived. but they know through conversation with the mayor's budget director, they'll see cuts to outreach and education. that was disturbing, because we know that those outreach services and education are the things that connect people. nonprofits will get a very small increase this year of only 2.5% in their contracts, which is less than inflation, which means they may not be able to give raises or retain workers cuts for next fiscal year are a bit clearer at the young women's freedom center, which provides services to young women and trans youth who have experienced the juvenile legal and foster care systems. so we, we were cut $220,000. our reentry programing was a really critical part of our model. and now we, we are left to pick up the pieces, mayor breed said in a statement. in this budget, we made the tough decisions to close our
1:48 am
deficit, and those are never easy. but we also made the right decision to invest in critical city services. our residents expect and deserve. one of the mayor's key priorities includes expanding law enforcement, staffing and delivering new technology, chief bill scott said the evidence is unequivocal crime is down in every category. this year, thanking the mayor for the continued investment. investment some of the city's nonprofits say is unfair to arresting people, doesn't help people who have substance use problems or help people who are homeless. it's the community based frontline workers who are helping those folks, and that is a big part of public safety, too. the budget will have to be approved by the board of supervisors, which could take weeks. in san francisco, gia vang nbc, bay area news. just ahead, san francisco's beloved and historic brewery is coming back. the billionaire pledging to resurrect anchor brewing plus civic center plaza being transformed into a pop up concert venue for an outdoor rave. we're back in 60s and i'm
1:49 am
chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. after plenty of warm weather today, we are in for some big changes the next couple of days, including a late season storm. let me expand the globe out here and what you're seeing is a storm hitting the pacific northwest by sunday. and check this out. rainfall close to the bay area by monday
1:50 am
1:51 am
i'd. his agent says he was killed in a car crash in oregon. gordon first made a splash at archbishop mitty high school in san jose, where his younger brother aaron also played. in college, he played basketball for ucla and new mexico. he had a brief run with the philadelphia 76 ers and then played in the g league and for teams overseas for about a decade. drew gordon just retired last year. teams are posting tributes on social media including the denver nuggets who his brother plays for. drew gordon was 33 years old. he leaves behind three children. well, san francisco's beloved beer brand is getting new life and a new owner. anchor brewing, shut down last year after 127 years in business. but now it's coming back. i think the best time of san francisco is yet to come. i can't wait to get back to work. so that's billionaire
1:52 am
hamdi ulukaya, ceo of chobani yogurt, made the announcement on his twitter page. he didn't say how much he paid for the brewery, but said that his goal is to revive and modernize the brand. former anchor employees tell us they're happy to see this deal. i think it's pretty poetic that it another person with a good amount of money is coming in and saving the brewery from closing forever. the new owner didn't give a timeline for when the brewery will reopen, but he said he hopes to have taps flowing as soon as possible . okay, it might not look like much, but this building you're about to see might soon be the site of silicon valley's tallest building. right? you're about to see the old sunset magazine headquarters in menlo park. so here's what's being proposed. it's a four building project called willow park. it includes one point 7,000,000ft■!s of spae filled with offices, apartments, businesses, and even a
1:53 am
montessori school. the project also would be home to three towers, the tallest being 431ft. that would make it the tallest building in the bay area outside of san francisco. if approved, construction would take at least three years to complete. well, san francisco's bid to become the permanent home of the sundance film festival has sadly officially ended. san francisco film commission has confirmed that the city was cut from the race to relocate one of the world's largest film festivals. the festival has been held in park city, utah since 1981. it was founded by oscar winning director and actor robert redford, but the festival's contract with park city is set to expire in two years, and cities around the country are vying to become the festival's new host starting in 2027. sundance is set to announce its new location in this winter. meanwhile, san francisco's civic center plaza is about to be transformed into a surprise
1:54 am
rave. two big electronic music acts will be performing outdoors right across the street from city hall. show was just announced four days ago, when dj and producer skrillex announced on social media that he'd be performing with british artist fred again. 25,000 tickets went on sale the next day, sold out just one hour. concert starts tomorrow at 630. if you don't have tickets, i'm guessing it shouldn't be too hard to listen in. if you are nearby and bottlerock may be over, but its latin counterpart is ready to keep music lovers dancing this weekend in napa, the stage is set for tomorrow's kickoff of a brand new music festival with a latin theme known as la onda, and more than 30,000 people a day are expected to attend to hear some of the world's biggest latin bands perform. and it's not just latin music taking center stage, but latin food as well. ticket holders. we spoke with say it's about time napa had a festival dedicated to
1:55 am
latino music. i think we're very excited, especially since it's the first one. we feel like we're finally getting like recognition of where we where a lot of us listen to a lot of latin music. i listen to a lot of these, people coming to perform, and i think this is like a very exciting moment for the hispanic community. and festival goers tell us that they hope this will become an annual tradition. just like bottlerock, we will see a lot of things happening for sure. jeff. so many people excited about the weekend. how's it looking for us? the weather is going to be shaping up really nice as we head through, saturday and sunday. not quite as hot as it has been the past couple of days. we have the storm track, which is starting to move a little bit closer to us. it's going to begin to drop temperatures and then check this out. an unusually strong storm lining up in the pacific. let me get you all those details right now in your microclimate forecast and on your saturday morning. here we go. some fog right near the bay and also the coast to start. maybe a little
1:56 am
bit of patchy fog down there towards the south bay. we'll see most of this clear back by 10:00 in the morning, except if you're headed to the beaches around san francisco to half moon bay. i do expect some of that fog to linger. and then as we head through the afternoon, still holding on to a little bit of that fog there at our beaches, morning temperatures are going to be down here in the low to mid 50s for much of the bay area. that puts us at double fives in the peninsula over to san francisco. have you at 54. and for the east bay 56 temperatures through tomorrow, cooling off about 4 to 8 degrees. so instead of upper 80s and low 90s, this will be a lot better for us. 82 in concord, 78 in san jose, 77, palo alto 81 in napa. and we've got 60s right here at the coast. if you're on the east bay looking for something to do, we also have the walnut creek art and wine festival sure to be a good time saturday, and also on sunday. okay, let's move it back into that strange weather here as we end may and head into june, we've got a storm system hitting the pacific northwest starting
1:57 am
on sunday. now, here's the crazy thing by the time we get to monday, we've got some rainfall just outside of the bay area. right now, i'm keeping it dry with increased cloud cover, but we're watching this rain line real closely. look at the colors and the key at the top 2 to 3in for a lot of the pacific northwest could even get about four inches for some of the highest elevations. so if this lowers just a little bit more, we may be talking about rainfall on monday. again right now it's dry, but certainly going to feel strange out there. we're down to 69 in san francisco. clouds here on monday as we're watching that rain to the north and 80. and then we'll pop it back up next week. so we'll be all over that this weekend. we see that rain move closer and we will certainly bring you those updates. rain in the middle of that forecast like 90s and all that. that'll be wild if we get some on monday. yeah for sure. all right jeff, thanks so much. appreciate it. up next j.lo is calling off her summer tour, including a stop in san francisco. the reason she's
