that is a live look at the bay

bridge in the city of san francisco. from our emeryville camera, cynthia tells us that there was some drizzle on the lens earlier, but she is actually watching the wind because we have a fire situation developing. good morning, i'm chris chmura sitting in for kira klapper. let's get right to cynthia who has information about the corral fire near tracey. and you're watching the wind. yeah, yeah, we're watching the wind. it has calmed down a little bit right now in the morning hours. and what i can tell you with that border right there, livermore and tracey temperatures right now in the low 60s, the humidity has recovered nicely in the overnight hours, but the winds right now coming out of the west around 15 miles an hour, those gusts in the low 20s. and as we go throughout the day, we can just see them continuing to increase over the altamont pass. if you've driven there, you know how gusty it can get through the hills. and we'll continue to watch that. another story. people down here in the south bay woken up at 330 this morning with a small earthquake out to the east foothills, a34 right now along the calaveras fault.

another situation that i'll continue to watch for any potential aftershocks as we go throughout the day. headlines for you. it will be another breezy and mild day. we'll watch the corral fire and continue to watch the temperatures over the next couple of days as we build that heat into possible triple digit temperatures. i'll be back in about 15 minutes. chris, back to you. all right. cynthia, thanks. all right. here we are. it's a massive wildfire burning between livermore and tracey, and it continues to grow. cal fire named it the corral fire. we have new video from overnight showing the firefight. those flames broke out around 230 yesterday afternoon near a lawrence livermore lab test site about 20 miles from tracee, cal fire says the fire has grown to more than 12,000 acres. we know at least two firefighters have been hurt, with one of them flown to a hospital in san jose. no word yet on how they're doing. the corral fire started east of the livermore national laboratory, but strong winds, as cynthia was referencing, have pushed it toward tracey. the fires already jumped 580 at

several spots. in fact, part of 580 is closed. we're going to get to that in just a minute. first, though, the fire is inching closer to tracee hills on the city's south side, so evacuations are underway right now. we can show you a map with the evacuation zone, people living along 580, as well as those in the tracee hills. anyone near california aqueduct has also been told to leave. and people living south of tracee boulevard will. you should be ready to go. video from a viewer shows the fire from above. a man says he shot this video while flying to sfo last night. it gives you a full view of the sheer size of the corral fire. all right, back to 580 shut down from highway 205 to interstate five. you can see why this video posted on snapchat shows what some drivers had to deal with this driver. just trying to get through thick, blinding smoke. last night at 11:00, we spoke with the cal fire battalion chief and he said the winds were just a huge issue. just before sunset, we were experiencing winds in the 40 plus mile an

hour range, which made it extremely difficult for firefighters to engage and make any kind of headway on the fire. it was moving faster than than they could, engage as the sun's gone down, wind has also calmed, we're still experiencing winds, there in the teens currently, but, with the lighter winds and relative humidities coming up, firefighters are able to engage the, the fire, directly on its perimeter. yeah. big, big, big job ahead though the fire currently 13% contained. we're going to keep a very close eye on this as it develops this morning and into the afternoon and evening hours. we're going to check in with cal fire soon live here on this broadcast in our teams looking to do a live update at any point, if we get any new information now. also, if you want live information on your phone, you can download our nbc bay area app. it is a great

way to get the very latest developments as soon as our team sends them. the app is free to download and you can also customize the breaking news alerts we send to your phone. moving on. new overnight an earthquake woke up a lot of folks. the 3.6 magnitude quake shook the south bay just before 330 this morning. the usgs pointing the epicenter about five miles northeast of alum rock, about 15 miles from san jose. many people posted on x the former twitter saying they felt the shaking. many viewers responded to cynthia and today in the bay anchor laura garcia folks saying they felt the shaking all over the south bay and beyond. people posted from san jose, campbell, milpitas, etc. many of you say the quake woke them up. we don't have any damage or injury reports. thankfully, we are also following developing news on the east coast. one person is dead and more than two dozen people have been shot in a mass shooting in akron, ohio. shots were fired shortly after midnight at a block party. police say a 27 year old man is dead, and 26 other people were

shot. police found one firearm and several dozen casings at the scene. the 26 victims conditions are unknown to us at this time. police are still looking for the shooter. all right. we can give you a live look at san jose, where mayor matt mahan says tackling homelessness is a top priority. the mayor delivered his state of the city address yesterday at happy hollow park and zoo. his wife began the ceremony touting the administration's accomplishments, including opening a new affordable housing project. just this past week, some community heroes received recognition. the mayor then spoke about the city's budget, which is tough. he says he's going to prioritize homelessness , the homelessness crisis, by investing in more affordable housing and supportive services. this is the bold, all of the above approach it will take to end the era of encampments in san jose, reduce the flow of people into homelessness, and create a city that works for all of us. and later, the mayor picked up trash around happy

hollow park, a san jose neighborhood, is on high alert. this unwanted visitor, a mountain lion, paid a visit prowling around a home friday night on 24th street near roosevelt park. this is at least the fourth mountain lion sighting in recent days. today in the bay area today in the bay's gia vang says residents are wondering how many mountain lions are in their neighborhood and. around 10:00 friday night, a small dog found itself face to face with an unwelcome guest a mountain lion wandering around a backyard at a home on 24th street in san jose. i thought it wasn't real. cynthia velasquez owns a business on the corner of 24th and santa clara. she couldn't believe what she saw in the video. i've never heard of a mountain lion, in the area, you know, this close to downtown. take a close look at the top of your screen. you can see at one point the mountain lion ended up on a roof, but this isn't the only recent big cat sighting.

the day before, another person spotted a mountain lion about five miles away in a neighborhood off oakland road and murphy avenue. we're at the corner of the road, and suddenly a head pops out of the enclosure over there and there was no doubt by the size of it and how close we were that it was a mountain lion. it's not clear if this is the same animal. nevertheless, the sightings have neighbors on edge. they called my mom and said, make sure the kids are in the house. but yeah, it was. it was there. and then it was gone in like a matter of seconds. and they're also wondering if it's the same animal seen on security camera. video early wednesday morning, strolling along a patio in a milpitas mobile home park. video even shows the animal leaping onto a shed right in front of the camera. a few hours later, a security camera at a home a couple of miles away spotted what could be the same animal scaling a fence. police used a drone with heat seeking technology to try to find the animal, but never did. neighbors in san jose. now optimistic fish and wildlife will be able to

track down the big cat and relocate it. hopefully they can find him and help him out. gia vang today in the bay area, tens of thousands of people packed san francisco's civic center plaza last night to see two of the world's biggest electronic artists perform today in the bay's alyssa goard says some folks are seeing new life in the city's music scene. 25,000 fans danced to the beat of electronic music superstars skrillex and fred, again. and they've done pop up events in new york and la, so it's really cool for it to be in the bay as quickly as they did it. it's pretty insane how it turned out. tickets went on sale this week and sold out immediately. thank you. it was a very big secret. bay area based, another planet entertainment says they've been planning this behind the scenes for months, and that the artists love the idea of having city hall as the backdrop for the show. and when

fred again and skrillex put it out on their insta stories like okay, we're having a party. according to event organizers at least 40% of the people who bought tickets live in zip codes that are at least 50 miles outside the city of san francisco, which means that people are traveling from outside the region and outside the state to attend this show. that means that they're going to spend the night. they're going to get a hotel room. they're making a weekend out of it. i think like this is going to liven the streets up, bring a lot of businesses to bars and just overall be really positive experience. electronic dance music fans were on cloud nine, even though we don't have tickets, we're still standing around just to listen to. i definitely think it's like a brilliant idea to like, you know, reactivate the city, just like make it cool. attendees say they're ready to see more shows like this in the city. alyssa goard today in the bay sounds good. much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up, we'll

take you live to washington, d.c. for our weekly interview moderatormeet the press

this week's guest moderator. peter, i'm guessing it wasn't too difficult to pick the topic for this week's show. so how much of the show are you dedicating to analyzing the trump convictions? well, i mean, it was a historic week. the latest in a long line of, i think, unprecedented moments, specifically as they relate to the former president, donald trump. that is where we get started with that guilty verdict. donald trump found guilty on 34 felony counts for falsifying business records. i have as our guest this morning, arkansas senator tom cotton. he's considered to be a possible running mate to donald trump. he has some different views with donald trump on some of these issues, including what happened at the capitol behind us on january 6th. so we'll pose those questions to him. i think fundamentally, chris, the

question here is how this does impact the view of voters going forward. this race is going to be tight. they're going to decide this across the country with fewer people than fit into levi's stadium. right. this is going to be all about those folks on the edge. the folks that may be the double haters. they don't like either donald trump or joe biden. so the question is, what should the strategies be going forward? donald trump is casting himself as a political prisoner. we know that's not true. he had legal representation. he has not been imprisoned or detained. he has the right to appeal. joe biden, when i talked to his campaign, i was interested that they say the conviction is not going to be a central message for them going forward as well. so anybody that suggests they know the way this plays out, i think they're lying to you. but i will say that there are several key potentially destabilizing moments ahead. hunter biden's trial begins tomorrow, monday, joe biden's son and then june 27th. notably, that's going to be the first of two debates between the two men. a lot of folks will be watching that as well. all right. thanks for joining us, peter. we appreciate

it. if you want to join peter for this morning's meet the press, don't go anywhere. it's at 8:00 right after today in the bay and coming up in about 30 minutes. we're going to talk with nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston. we're going to take a closer look at former president trump's conviction and what it means, or maybe doesn't mean for the election, more than a thousand bay area students are taking a college entrance exam, and we're supposed to take a college entrance exam, were sent home yesterday, costing the family's money and time. the college board, which administers the sat, says it couldn't give 1400 students the test because of a wi-fi issue at the test site. the downtown oakland marriott, the exam proctor says roughly 400 students were able to complete their exams, which are now fully digital. by the way, before that wi-fi issue started. but yesterday's issue piles on a serious shortage of sat test spots around the bay area college board says student demand for sats has exceeded its capacity for weekend tests, so students are traveling, even

some flying across the country, to get a chance at taking the exam. that's required for some college applications. the college board says it's issuing refunds to all families impacted , and said it is working to ensure students can reschedule all those all important tests. working to stop illegal animal trade. well, one toad at a time state and fish wildlife recently confiscated a container of toads being shipped illegally. they're called granular toads native to brazil and are actually restricted in california. if released, the state says they can, in the wild, harm the bay area ecosystem. well, veterinarians checked out the toads next up, finding them a forever home. the oakland zoo says this is just one example of its effort to stop illegal wildlife trade. huge wins for a pair of past and present stanford athletes at the us gymnastics championships in texas. you're looking at former stanford gymnast brody malone on the rings, but it's what he accomplished on the pommel horse

and high bar yesterday that helped him land at the top of the medal podium. malone is actually making an amazing comeback to the sport after suffering a severe leg injury last year. this is the 24 year old's third us all around crown, and check out stanford cardinal yukio yung, seen here on the parallel bars. he also made it onto the podium, scoring a u.s. all around bronze medal. congratulations to both men for a job well done as they set their sights on the paris olympics. the u.s. gymnastics olympic trials are just a few weeks awayand course, nbc bay area is your home f the olympics. our jessica aguirre is already packin her bags for paris. she will be there on site around the clock with complete local coverage of our local athletes. she's also catching up with a number of those athletes before they heato t city of light. you can watch those stories and profiles right now on our website, nbc bay

area.com/olympics gold medal for food, fun and fair. yes, it is all back on the peninsula. the 90th annual san mateo county fair kicked off yesterday. that, of course, means wild carnaval rides, hot dogs, kettle corn, cotton candy, thousands upon thousands of calories and lots more. many fairgoers told us the weather is good. cynthia confers yes, yes, she confirms it. and the food is pretty good, too. so they're just having a blast out there. well, it brings back memories of childhood being here with all of these great games and fun rides and all the food, of course. yeah. what kind of things you've been doing? you're going to the concert? yeah, going to concert, playing games, having fun, living life. you know, last night, young donkey of hawaii performed at the fair. he's the youngest american idol winner and the first pacific islander to take that honor. also you can't go to the fair without seeing some of the cute animals like rabbits, cows, and turkeys. the fair runs through june 9th, but it will be closed

two days, monday and tuesday. you know those rabbits? they need to rest. all right. we want to return to that breaking news. we told you about the beginning of the newscast. that massive 12,000 acre fire that is just 13% contained. evacuations are in effect for part of tracee. the flames have jumped 580, which is shut down in part from highway 205 to i-5. the fire started around 230 yesterday afternoon. cal fire tells us it doesn't know what started the fire. two firefighters were hurt, but we now know that they are expected to be okay. cal fire says it's not clear if any structures have burned. strong winds are making this firefight incredibly tough. so let's turn to cynthia right now. how tough are the wind conditions out there right now? yeah, we forecasted it yesterday. the strong winds through the altamont pass. and they're going to continue again. it's not unusual for june to kind of set us up into this transition between the spring and summer months. so that causes a bit of a gradient in our wind speeds out there. right now we can see border between livermore and

tracey, our current conditions marking us in the low 60s. humidity also at 60% so recovered overnight. but it's those winds that we are going to continue to watch today as right now they are out of the west around 14 miles an hour. those gusts so strong moments of those winds, around 20 out there towards our wind speeds. we continue to see that contour out towards the east bay. that will continue to be shadowed and focused on as we go throughout the day. by the middle part of it, we continue to see those gusts 2025 miles an hour. if you've driven through the altamont pass, you know just how difficult it is, how windy it can get. and that's where our wind farm is out there. so a very important segment of the bay area that we're going to continue to monitor as we go throughout the day. one part of this story that is a bit of a good news is that the temperatures not too hot for today. we're going to do upper 70s out there towards livermore and tracey as we go throughout the rest of the bay. another pretty mild day, 60s along the coast. 70s bay shore, 75, in oakland, as well as in fremont. we get into parts of the north

bay and parts of solano county that start to get into those low to mid 80s, and by tomorrow you're going to feel a little bit of a muggy start as we watch more cloud cover and temperatures actually coming down just a few degrees. 66 in san francisco, 73 in oakland and down in mountain view, and some low 80s in our stretches of the bay area. but as we go on into the second half of this early part of the week, here, prepare for some changes. monday morning, i mentioned that cloud cover has the storm impacts the pacific northwest. this will also help firefighters out there recovering the humidity, possibly adding some of that moisture back into the atmosphere. but then we could be in for possibly the hottest stretch of weather that we have seen all year long, our heat risk index index. by tuesday, we can see the shading of the orange and the reds here. people that are really sensitive to this heat. or maybe you work outside or don't have any air conditioning in your home. you really need to prepare now. finding ways to cool yourself for the next couple of days as

we get into tuesday and wednesday. hottest day of the week here, we can see more of that shading temperatures in the 90s, one low one hundreds in parts of mendocino and lake counties, even parts of concord, fairfield out there reaching that century mark and down through the santa clara valley. going to be a stretch of those temperatures from the upper 80s to some 90s as well. we're going to get into san francisco over the next couple of days as well. that mild, mild weather tuesday, wednesday and thursday, we'll see some cooling as we go on into the late week, but really it's those inland valleys that we will watch 70s to those jumps in the 90s, midweek back down into the 80s by friday, so enjoy it. while it last, because it's going to get hot and it's a reminder that the winds here to stay, the heat is here to stay. and we got to be prepared for a fire at any point year round year round. cynthia, thanks very much. we have much more ahead on today in the bay coming up, aaron judge homers again. but can the giants overcome the yankees star's third home run in two days? sports is next

native holmer's for the second game in a row against the giants . top one judge hammers the full count pitch by logan webb. he has three homers in the first two games of this series. the yankees led four nothing. then the giants show some fight. casey schmidt goes on a power trip. it's his first home run of the season that cuts the lead in half. it's a one run game in the eighth. then the yankees put it out of reach. giancarlo stanton rips a laser to left. two run homer highlighting a three run inning. the yankees beat the giants again. final 7 to 3. yeah look they're what, 41 and whatever for a reason. lead the league in pitching. they lead the league in offense. and they're playing really good right now. so yeah it presents

his challenges. you know we scored some runs and came back. and you know other than you know up until the eighth you know when they scored three we felt pretty good. a roller coaster ride for the a's in atlanta fourth inning brent rooker shifts into park. that's a two run home run giving oakland an eight three lead. but this was far from over. the braves rally to retake the lead in the sixth. then manager mark kotsay gets tossed for arguing with the ump, but rooker responds as he clobbers a double off the wall in right two runs score! the a's rally to beat the braves 11 to 9. this game had plenty of offensive fireworks from an offensive standpoint. today i think was our best, one of our best games of the year. i know we've we've scored more runs, one other time, but i think today's the quality of at bats. they had a good game plan, stuck to it and executed it. and to the lynx third round of the us women's open. former stanford golfer andrea lee, with back to

back birdies on 15 and 16. she shoots a 367 and is in a three way tied for the lead at five under par heading into today's final round. of course, that final round can be seen later today right here on nbc bay area. that's a look at your morning sports. i'm anthony flores for today in the bay anthony thanks very much. we have much more ahead on today in the bay. we are following some breaking news. gusty winds fanning a brushfire just east of the altamont pass. evacuations underway for parts of tracey. we're going to talk live with the battalion chief on the front line about the conditions of line about the conditions of this firef in 10 years, lisa schneider will have an amazing second act. thanks to career reskilling courses from aarp. to help make sure her income lives as long as she does. the younger you are, the more you need aarp.

and we're going to get right to it. thanks for joining us. i'm chris chmura sitting in for kira klapper. let's get right to cynthia who's been watching the winds with a wildfire that is burning out near the altamont pass. yeah, we are continuing to focus there through the livermore and tracey border this morning. and throughout the day. as those wind speeds right now out of the west, around 13 miles an hour. but the gusts that will continue to watch that could fan this fire later on this afternoon could increase once again to what we were seeing yesterday. the humidity has recovered overnight, temperatures not too bad in the low 60s, but as we go throughout the day, we can just see that onshore wind coming through through the altamont pass around 25 to 35, maybe 40 mile an hour winds as we pick it up through this evening, giving firefighters out there a bit of a battle. so the best of luck to them will continue to watch that. but as far as our weather headlines go today and tomorrow, we're going to keep it pretty seasonable with the breezy conditions still remaining mild and seasonable. but you can see right behind me by the time that we get to tuesday, wednesday, thursday, the hottest weather

that we've seen so far this year, i'll show you the range of temperatures coming up in about ten minutes. chris, back to you. all right, cynthia, thanks very much. so here it is. a large wildfire is burning between livermore and tracee. it's called the corral fire. the flames broke out around 230 yesterday afternoon near a lawrence livermore lab test site about 20 miles from tracee. cal fire says it's more than 12,000 acres in size. huge. we know at least two firefighters have been hurt. one of them flown to a hospital in san jose. the fire started east of the livermore national laboratory, but strong winds pushed it toward tracey. it's already jumped 580 at several spots, inching closer to the tracee hills community on the southern side of the city. evacuations are underway right now. this map shows the evacuation zone people living along 580, as well as those in the tracee hills community. anyone near the california aqueduct has also been told to leave, and people living south of tracee boulevard should be

ready to go. new video from a viewer shows the fire from above. a man says he shot this clip while flying to sfo last night. it gives you a full view of the sheer size of this fire. all right, back to 580. shut down from highway 205 to interstate five, and you can see why this is ground level video posted to snapchat from a driver from inside their car. look at the smoke they're trying to deal with, trying to get through that thick, choking, blinding smoke. all right, let's get a live update right now. joining us is battalion chief josh silveira with cal fire chief. thanks so much for joining us. what's the most important thing our viewers need to know about the corral fire right now? most important thing is to be vigilant, the san joaquin county, sheriff and office of emergency services have done a great job, keeping folks updated on evacuation status, with that, though, folks

need to do their part. they need to have a go bag ready, in the event that they are evacuated, when they get that evacuation order, that's not the time to pack up the stuff that, you find needs to go with you, like your pets and such, be vigilant and be ready to go, so when you do, if and when you do get that phone call, you're not having to scramble at the last minute. chief, now that you have sunlight to work with, what are crews trying to do right now to contain it and eventually put this thing out while the weather is in our favor, firefighters are directly on the fire's edge, we're able to be a lot more proactive than reactive with the weather in our favor, we have the dozers out putting in direct fire line right on the fire's edge, being backed up with, ground crews with hoses, ensuring that we secure any hot spots that are near that line, while the weather is in our favor. what's your prognosis for

today in trying to reduce the size and to actually try to contain it with our weather window that we're, we're expecting, we'll be able to utilize our air assets to stay ahead of the fire, if it does start to, move with the wind again. we'll have a much larger window with it. the fire starting later in the afternoon, our air assets are only available until, sundown. and then they kind of went away. they're assets are great. they they have that ability to get that elevation, see where the fire is moving, and then engage, with retardant and water drops to kind of knock the heat out of the fire. so crews can come in, ground crews can come in behind them and, and really cool those hot spots and secure fireline through the nighttime hours. we lose those aircraft, but we do

get a little bit back, with lighter winds, higher ranges and lower temperatures. so it's a give and take, today, while we do have the weather in our favor, though, we are definitely going to be hitting it hard, from both the area and the ground for people who had to leave their homes is there any chance they might be able to go back any time soon? what do you think? they're their best bet, it's like i said, the ready .org website that san joaquin county office of emergency services and the sheriff's department are running does a really good job, we're working hand in hand with them to ebb and flow with the evacuation. with evacuations, we don't want to keep people out of their homes any longer than they have to be, it's a very uneasy feeling, but at the same time, we don't want to allow people to go back into early and then have to re evacuate. we've learned our lessons through the years, and it's, it's better to keep

folks out a little longer. initially so that they're not having to play that yoyo game of back and forth. so far. have any homes burned in the fire? we do have confirmation of one home that was destroyed in the fire, and we have a damage inspectors out, surveying the area already this morning looking for any additional damaged or destroyed homes. all right, battalion chief silveira, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate what you do and we wish you well out there battling the corral fire. we're going to keep a close eye on this as it develops all morning long throughout the afternoon and into the evening. we encourage you to stay alert. our nbc bay area app is a great way to do that and get updates from us in our newsroom and in our weather center at any time. the app is free to download and you can customize the breaking news and weather alerts that we send to your phone. speaking of fires, east bay homeowners, it is time to get mowing to prevent fires. contra costa county's deadline

to cut grass and trim weeds is almost here. the county's weed abatement deadline is tomorrow. all property owners, including residential and commercial, must cut long grass and weeds to prevent grass fires. the ordinance limits dry vegetation to three inches, not four, not five, not six three inches. firefighters say weed trimming is vital to helping them fight fires, weed abatement and defensible space is what helps control the spread of fire during a wildfire emergency. it also allows working space at homes for the firefighters to work. so it's always important to make sure that that vegetation is managed appropriately, to help protect the community, firefighters recommend a few other ways homeowners can protect their homes from fires, like having an empty space between the home and any plants. this is meant to slow the spread of a fire to your home. mexico is expected to make history. the country appears poised to elect its

first woman president, and that's because the two candidates at the top of the polls are both women. one is claudia sheinbaum, a member of the current mexican president's party. she also studied physics and engineering at cal. her nearest rival is socal galvez, who is representing a trio of parties the us could also play a major role in deciding who will win. that's because for the first time, mexicans living abroad, including here in the us, are able to vote in the presidential election. mexicans living here can vote by either mail or in person at any mexican consulate today. anybody who's not paying attention is obviously being derelict in their responsibilities to do right by our country, by making sure that our neighbors are healthy democracy, that they're stable. mexico's president serves a16 year term. violence has marred recent political campaigns in mexico, nbc news reports that since september,

34, candidates for various offices have been killed. many of those murders linked to cartels overseas. now, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has accepted an invitation to address a joint session of congress in washington. in a statement, he wrote that he's thrilled to represent israel before congress. this will be the fourth time netanyahu will address both houses of congress. it's unclear when, though hundreds of people in san francisco wore orange to support an end to gun violence, community members, local leaders and activists ran or biked or walk their way across the golden gate bridge. yesterday, they did it to back a group called northern california moms demand action for gun sense. organizers say the annual rally honors victims and survivors of gun violence around the country, so we know that 120 americans are shot and killed every single day in the united states, and many more are wounded. and that's way too many. there's no other country in the world that

experiences, experiences, the amount of gun violence that is happening here. organizers say they hope their event succeeds in raising awareness and ultimately saves lives. we can give you a live look at the city of san jose, where mayor matt mahan says tackling homelessness is a top priority. the mayor delivered his state of the city address yesterday at happy hollow park and zoo. his wife began the ceremony touting the administration's accomplishments, including opening a new affordable housing project. just this week. some community heroes received recognition. the mayor then spoke about the city's budget, saying it will prioritize the homelessness crisis by investing in more affordable housing and supportive services. this is the bold all of the above approach it will take to end the era of encampments in san jose, reduce the flow of people into homelessness, and create a city that works for all of us. later, the mayor picked up trash around

happy hollow park. we have some breaking news right now in the east bay. walnut creek police are asking people to avoid the area of locust street and locust street due to a traffic collision. our crews are on the scene right now trying to get more information about what caused the incident. we know that this is an area where we believe a farmer's market is usually held on sunday morning, but a collision there. police asking people to please stay away. the farmer's market usually starts at around 9:00. we understand, but we don't know if it's going to proceed today. if we find out any more information, we certainly will let you know. still to come on today in the bay we are tracking more breaking news. a grass fire is growing in tracey. the wind is always critical with wildfires. so cinthia pimentel is tracking the cond

more and tracee current conditions out there 63 degrees. the humidity 55. and as we take a look at those wind speeds, 13 miles an hour out of the west with gusts anywhere around 20 to 25 miles an hour, and that will continue to increase as we go through the afternoon. so an area to watch definitely over the altamont pass as we go on into lunchtime. turning breezy and intense wind speeds into this afternoon as we watch those into this evening, of course, the rest of the bay area also staying breezy and mild today, which is a good note that will help in the firefighting efforts. it's not that extremely hot out there, but it will be in the next coming days. so definitely want to get a handle on that fire as we go on into today and tomorrow, our temperatures right now we're starting off in the 50s. you'll notice some patchy clouds out there as you wake up and enjoy your sunday morning. by the time that we go into the middle part of the day, a breezy and cool coastline in the upper 50s and half moon bay 60, san francisco. starting to turn mild in our

inland valley. 70s and some low 80s. but that's where we'll keep it for today. a bit of a mild first sunday of the month here as we take a look by this afternoon. 85 in santa rosa, 82 in concord and will de low 70s in fremont to some upper 70s down through the santa clara valley. as we go on into tomorrow, something else that i hope gives a boost to firefighters out there is the return of a little bit more moisture due to this storm system up into the pacific northwest. we're going to start off with a cloudy monday morning. also probably seeing some sprinkles up there towards parts of the further north bay counties. sonoma mendocino and hopefully bringing some of that moisture into the livermore valley as we go on into the middle part of the week. this is what you need to get ready for some early june heat as we prepare for some strong temperatures over tuesday, wednesday, and thursday, heat advisories are already up. excessive heat into parts of the central valley. sacramento 90s to some possible low one hundreds and elevating our fire

danger. of course, that concern for everybody's health as well. if you work or experience any of those heat impacts, walking the dogs is going to be difficult over the next couple of days. wednesday is our hottest day of the week 80s, 90s, and some low 100 seconds as you make your way into the valleys. overall we're going to see a huge spike in those temperatures from breezy and mild today to hot during the middle part of the week. and san francisco coastline. get ready for some more visitors that are trying to beat the heat and rush closer to the water. yeah, i imagine there will be tons of traffic headed to. oh yeah, and lots of kids are out and

acre wildfire near tracey. evacuations are in effect in. cal fire. just confirmed to us that the fire has burned down one home, and it's just 13% contained. so this is going on right now and is going to go on

for a while. the fire has jumped 580, which is shut down between highway 205 and i-5. this all started around 230 yesterday afternoon. cal fire doesn't know what started the fire. two firefighters were hurt, but are expected to be okay. president joe biden is preparing to announce an executive action about the border. two administration officials say the announcement could come as early as tuesday. the white house has already been reaching out to mayors in border cities about the announcement. the plan would reportedly deny entrance to migrants once the number of people encountered by american border officials exceeds a new daily threshold. now to decision 2024 and a big unknown. how significant or insignificant is this week's 34 count conviction against former president trump? nbc bay area political analyst, doctor larry gerston joins us now. professor, thank you so much for spending your sunday with us, yeah. all right. is it going to matter or not? this is extraordinary. donald trump is

extraordinary. why? well, for all this, his efforts to keep his cohorts, his supporters together, nothing changes them away. it's absolutely mind blowing. and here's why. he has actually faced three terrible events for him, at least in the last year. of course, we've got that sexual assault and defamation case brought by e jean carroll cost him $88 million. we've got the bank fraud case cost him $450 million. and now we have 34 counts of felonies where he's been accused of really hush money payments. of course, in order to keep the public from knowing what happened with this alleged sexual affair. again his his supporters are with him. and so how significant is it, chris, in some ways very significant for the way they still stay with him in other ways not significant in terms of a game changer. well, biden's number 46, right? yep. so we've had 46 presidents. how many others have faced this kind of situation

when they're running for reelection. or is this a first. and if this works for donald trump and he's if he's ahead in the polls, how is he doing that? first of all, no former president, no former president has ever had this kind of situation. none has ever been charged with a crime. none has ever been convicted of a crime. so we're talking about to use a term that's overused, unchartered territory. but here's the thing. why? what's going on? what keeps him in this kind of stead? you have to think about what's going on with the public. you know, the things beginning all the way back to covid 19. we think it's gone, but it's not. it's still around and the and the extensions of problems arising from covid 19 have left us very weary, along with the immigration issues and the inflation issues and the economy. and of course, most recently, the whole question about women's reproductive freedom, these things are really weighing the public. they're weighing the public. and with that, there's a second factor skepticism. skepticism against government, skepticism against institutions. much of this

brought about by donald trump and the people really weary and skeptical, get along with that. when we get to november, peter alexander referenced it a little bit ago. he's guessing that maybe a group of people that might fit into levi's stadium might decide who the president is. ultimately, those people who are independent or undecided. yeah. is this going to matter to them? are we going to know? interesting question. because we went ahead and looked at some polls before this court case. the story for a indictment case, count, indictment case and then afterwards and what do we see? what we see almost a quarter of the public saying, trump voters, mind you, a quarter of trump voters say, you know, if this guy is convicted, i'm going to change my vote. and then, of course, there was the other side of this after what's after the case? then what happens? look what happens 7% from 24. who's saying i'm going to change my vote away from trump to 7? in

other words, it's becoming less and less significant right before our eyes. so as an issue, one of the many issues at the moment, and of course, every day is different at the moment, it looks like this case would not matter at all. many other issues out there, many other issues. but for the moment, this isn't one of them. fascinating. and you'll be watching it for us. yeah. yes, sir. all right, doctor, thank you so much for your time. coming up next, a quick look at your top stories, including the breaking news we are following gusty winds fanning a brushfire just east of the altamont pass. the latest information from the battalion chief on the conditions of that

of wildfires burning between livermore and tracey, and it continues to grow. it's called the corral fire. flames broke out around 230 yesterday afternoon near a lawrence livermore lab test site about 20 miles from tracee. cal fire confirms one home has burned down. the fire has grown to more than 12,000 acres. we know at least two firefighters have been hurt, with one of them flown to a san jose hospital. the fire started east of the livermore national laboratory, but strong winds pushed it toward tracey. it's jumped 580 several spots, including, and is inching closer to the tracee hills community on the southern side of the city. evacuations are underway right now. this map shows the evacuations zone people living along 580, as well as those in the tracee hills community. anyone near the california

aqueduct has also been told to leave, and people living south of tracee boulevard should be ready to go. battalion chief josh olvera, with cal fire says the weather is in their favor today. the weather is in our favor, firefighters are directly on the fire's edge. we're able to be a lot more proactive than reactive with the weather in our favor, we have the dozers out putting in direct fire line right on the fire's edge, being backed up with, ground crews with hoses, ensuring that we secure any hot spots that are near that line. now, back to 580. it is shut down from 205 to interstate five. and this is why this is video from snapchat that a driver posted. this is what they're dealing with out there. just thick smoke, terrible driving conditions out there. smoke and wind. so much to pay attention to. cynthia is watching the conditions. the firefighters think that the weather is in their favor. what

do you think? for the forecast? the temperatures? yes, they are staying mild, but it will be another breezy day. as we take a look at our seven day here, we're going to continue to monitor the corral fire. and then hopefully they get an upper hand on this because then it's going to get hot out there in livermore and tracey through the middle portion of the week. so a lot of heat risks could be coming possible. and we'll just continue to watch this all through the next seven days. all right cynthia, thanks very much. our weather team and our news team are working together to keep you up to date on the corral fire. and so we're going to have that in our local news tonight at five, six and 11. and all day long in real time at nbcbayarea.com and on our nbc bay area app. thank you so much for spending your sunday morngin
