across the bay area, the new blaze igniting as temperatures are set to rapidly heat up. we have team coverage on the tough day. crews are set to face

cracking down on illegal border crossings. the all new action president joe biden is set to take as early as today. plus a major change coming to x, the controversial content users will now be allowed to share on the platform, and parents will want to pay attention to that change. this is today in the bay. good morning to you. on this tuesday, i'm marcus washington and i'm laura garcia. we do have live team coverage this morning on those rising temperatures and fire dangers. meteorologist kari hall is tracking just how hot it's going to get. but first, thom jensen live in tracey, where crews are still working to put out the corral fire. tom good morning to both of you. yes, as more than 400 firefighters here on the corral fire are working to get the final containment line around the more than 14,000 acres of mostly grassland that burned here. and the one home that we unfortunately lost behind us

here as they were working to get that work done. another fire broke out late yesterday. this is on a popular road between here and tracee and livermore along patterson pass road, closer to livermore, and a popular one lane winding cut off road that commuters often use trying to get around gridlock into livermore in the south bay. firefighters were on it quickly, though, and with higher humidity and lower winds than we had over the weekend, they were able to stop it at just 115 acres. no homes lost, nobody hurt. almost all of the fire was in low burning light grasses, a stark contrast to what happened here on saturday, as gusts to 60mph, according to cal fire, fanned the flames into an uncontrollable frenzy and unfortunately, the couple here lost their home of 30 plus years and most of their belongings, cal fire information officer said. fortunately these fires did not burn in areas with heavier fuels like pine and oak trees, which are also going to start drying out quickly in these rising temperatures. it's

flashy fuels, these grass fires, they burn very quickly and then they tend to get extinguished pretty quickly. this fire is now more than 85% contained this morning, and we could get reports of full containment later on this morning. stay tuned for that. we'll be at a briefing at 7:00 this morning. but people here are definitely bracing for what's ahead after seeing how fast both of these mostly grass fires moved in the winds with temperatures approaching and topping triple digits today through thursday in areas the grasses and the trees are only to get drier and drier and more dangerous, and cal fire is reminding people because of that, to sign up for those notifications, especially those evacuation orders that you're going to want to get as the fire danger only increases as it gets hotter as we get into the summer. we're live in tracey thom jensen today in the bay. very, very concerning. so early in the season too. yeah. all right. thank you tom. well,

meteorologist kari hall of course, tracking those conditions, firefighters, they're going to face some warm temperatures today. carrie, is this going to be the hottest day of the week? it today and tomorrow. it really depends on the spot and where you are. but we are all clear. and there's going to be such a big difference from yesterday to what we'll see today. we're keeping the wind, but we're also adding in the heat and today we will have a heat advisory in effect for these areas in orange that includes the north bay away from the bay in the east bay into the tri-valley, as well as the delta and the south bay will be under a heat advisory starting later this morning. here's what we're headed. there will be a moderate heat risk for much of these areas shaded in orange. as our temperatures go to the low 90s, we're up to 98 degrees in concord, 101 degrees in vacaville and fairfield, while in san francisco, it's also going to be heating up with a high of 81 degrees. and in the mid to upper 90s in the north bay tomorrow. also, just as hot. but in some of the areas like fairfield and vacaville, we're

still in the triple digits, but we're seeing the temperatures going up a degree or two for san jose. so we're looking at a high of 92 degrees there, 95 in los gatos and mostly upper 70s for the peninsula into san francisco . we'll be tracking that. we'll talk about when we eventually cool off. that's coming up in the full microclimate forecast. all right, carrie, thank you. now let's take a live look this morning in redwood city. this is where firefighters remain at the scene following that eight alarm fire. that building under construction yesterday. now crews right now watching for any of those flare ups last night firefighters removed the building scaffolding because of its threat to nearby homes. now, communities in redwood city, atherton, palo alto and los altos are still under evacuation orders. that fire was just reported 1015 yesterday morning and we actually brought that to you live with our breaking news coverage as it was happening, 104 units in that 179 unit inside that building, they were

burned during the massive fire. now, this is an affordable housing project along middlefield road. they were actually expecting to complete that project next year. one of the people living nearby shot some of the video of those flames, which she says at one point were actually raining down on her yard. now now black embers remain. you'll see over here on my floor for everywhere. it's a lot. all these flames, flames were coming down. yeah, all these flames. when you see flames coming down, i feel it's. you see? i'm so scared. yeah. we saw that yesterday during our live coverage. now, investigators say that fire started on the fifth floor of that building due to the fact it was under construction. there was no sprinklers or firewall. and the cause is still under investigation. our ginger conejero saab, she's live on the peninsula. this morning. she'll have a live update for us at that scene coming up in about 30 minutes. and with these rising temperatures and the fire dangers, a great resource to have right now on the go is our nbc bay area app. that way you're going to get things sent

straight to your phone. it is a free and available for you anytime on your smartphone. there, you'll be able to find up to the minute weather updates and all of that is going to have the latest news as well. well, just into our newsroom, people living on the living in pinola say they may be have some trouble getting hold of 911 right now. the city's police department sent out this post on ecs overnight. it says that 911 and penoles non-emergency lines are down. calls are being answered by contra costa county sheriff's office. they are then transferring information to emergency dispatchers. it's unknown what the cause of that outage is. president joe biden is expected to sign a sweeping new executive order, which would allow him to temporarily shut down the us mexico border. the white house is expected to announce that new action today. the closure would only take place if illegal border crossings reached 2500 a day. homeland security says currently

the daily number is more than 4000. the border would only reopen when that number falls below 1500. the new restrictions are similar to ones former president donald trump tried to enact back in 2018. well, just days after the historic guilty verdict against former president trump, opening statements will begin today in delaware, where the president's son is facing federal gun charges. hunter biden is accused of three felonies, including lying in a form to buy a gun six years ago while he was using narcotics. if convicted, he could receive up to ten years in prison. hunter biden has pleaded not guilty, saying he was not using drugs at the time. well, in just a few hours, david depape is set to be back in court for his state trial. depape is accused of attempted murder. this after breaking into the home of former house speaker nancy pelosi and beating her husband with a hammer. well, last friday, paul pelosi was called to testify and walked jurors through that entire october 20th, 22 attack.

depapes attorney didn't dispute the attack, but argued depape wasn't in his right mind and didn't intend to kill anyone. the state calls the state case resumes in court this morning. depape has already been sentenced to 30 years in prison by a federal judge. sonoma county, currently in the process of updating its cannabis rules since early april, people who live there have been offering feedback about the plans to streamline permitting and zoning and apply consistent rules supporting the industry's growth. later today, supervisors will vote on those proposed changes. the board meeting gets underway, say this morning a stark reminder with hot week ahead. each year, about 37 children die from heat stroke after being locked in a hot car. and we want to remind you to never leave your kids nor pets inside of a vehicle. not even for a few minutes. meteorologist kari hall shows us just how hot it can get inside those cars with high set to soar to 100

degrees in the valleys today. remember this saying beat the heat. check the back seat. if the air temperature is 100 degrees in just 30 minutes inside of a vehicle, it is 134 degrees in an hour. it's a sweltering 143 degrees. even in the shade. even with the windows cracked, there is no safe amount of time to leave a child or a pet alone in a vehicle. heat stroke occurs when the body temperature reaches 104 degrees, and a body temperature of 107 degrees can be fatal. a child's core body temperature may increase 3 to 5 times faster than that of an adult. so here's a tip if you put your child in the car seat, also, drop your phone or your purse back there too, especially if you're out of your normal routine and may forget the child is with you. i'll have an update on the heat wave coming up. now. let's check

in with mike for a look at the commute. yeah, but very important words. thank you. carrie, we're here talking about gas prices. vallejo dominates sonoma county's best 439 is the very lowest in that county. we have exxon on springs road. middle number here is the south bay low for sunnyvale is 459. national petroleum on old san francisco road. same low here in contra costa county. the best is in concord. 459 at arco on willow pass road. that's gasbuddy.com where we get the prices, where you can report those prices as well. roadways are moving very smoothly. not a lot to report here. thom jensen talked about patterson pass road . that's at the bottom of the screen. just to give you a reference. it's below 580 there. no issues right now because of that fire. but that's in the area where that latest fire was yesterday. and we're looking at a smooth drive for 580. the build and nice drive from vasco road out of contra costa, county down to 580, which continues here. scott, that's the dublin grade top of the screen heading over toward 880. over to you. looks busy already. all right.

live. look outside in dublin we are under a microclimate weather alert due to the high heat that's coming in today and our trend quickly heats up with our temperatures going from mid 60s to the upper 80s by the early afternoon. it's also going to be breezy, increasing our fire danger. we'll talk about where we could see triple digits in our forecast coming up. all right here fremont. the triple digits 880. the nimitz freeway headlights southbound heading past tesla. this overcrossing here will get pretty busy over the next few. i think there's a shift change about this time, but everything on the freeway itself, the nimitz looks good for now. well good morning. very happy tuesday to you. the markets had a bit of a hiccup monday with all kinds of wrong prices. they got through it. it's happened before. any bad trades will be undone. so this is structure therapeutics in san francisco. it's working on a pill for weight loss the kind of medicine you'd see in ozempic but in oral form people like pills better pills require less medicine as well, which is

cheaper. huge jump for structure therapy sticks on that test result. gamestop that company back in the news after internet influencer who calls himself roaring kitty went back to posting about it. the wall street journal says e-trade is considering kicking him off the platform, worried he's artificially influencing the stock, bloomberg calculates roaring kitty now holds about $200 million in gamestop, maybe its fourth largest shareholder. the social media service x has formalized its policies on adult content like real adult content, it's always been permitted. the fact that you don't see it on your for you feed may be a sign of how well the filtering is working. the company says, quote, sexual expression, whether visual or written, can be a legitimate form of artistic expression. so they're letting it on the service. yesterday we spoke about how spotify is raising prices again, second time in a year. netflix as well. the today show is going to have

a closer look at what they're calling stream inflation coming up at seven right after today in the bay, microsoft is going to lay off many employees in its holo lens division close to a thousand people. virtual reality has fallen out of favor as companies focus on artificial intelligence. google laying off employees in its cloud division, cloud one of the most profitable pursuits for google, but again cuts in one division as google focuses its efforts on ai. let's go find some pcs. actress gabrielle union doing a instagram video for a black woman owned company called bits. it's a small food company that makes deals with walmart and costco. it got its start from funding venture firm called fearless fund. the whole idea is funding minority owned businesses, but the 11th circuit court says that may violate laws against discrimination in business contracts. told fearless fund to stop offering 20,000 grants to minority owned businesses while the case plays

out in a lower court. the case was brought by edward blum, the same guy who objected to colleges like harvard having racial quotas. blum says laws don't permit racial distinctions because some groups are overrepresented, while others are underrepresented. you know, this could have ramifications all over because there are plenty of venture funds that set up special funds for underrepresented. you know, the government has minority contracts. and, you know, we'll give preferential contracts. this will take a while to get through the courts. but it is an interesting first step. very much so seeing it more and more. all right. thanks, scott. you bet. well trending this morning, one of tv's best known sitcom dads is back, but in a much different role. are you trading deandre jordan? excuse me. this is my assistant v i mr. sterling's right hand arm, ed o'neill, starring in a new six part miniseries called clipped. it is based on the racism scandal that took down the

longtime former l.a. clippers owner donald sterling. cleopatra coleman is v the assistant forever tied to the scandal. o'neal, of course, played al bundy on married with children and later jay pritchett on modern family. both stars say they enjoyed the complexities of their new roles. she's heavily ambitious, and when you're a woman, you're not really supposed to express that. you're supposed to keep that kind of quiet because it's not a feminine trait. yeah, i don't think donald sterling considered himself a racist. that's fairly obvious. i mean, he thought he went by a certain set of rules that he didn't make up. how to refresh your memory. sterling's racially charged comments were caught on audio recordings that ultimately led him to sell the team he owned for decades, a team that consistently struggled on the court. the first two episodes dropped on hulu just after midnight. yeah, it's a heavy topic, but they did also bring the visor that v used to wear. you remember everybody started wearing those visors around, so i don't know where you have it. anyway, find the

good. yeah c come on. yeah well, look, you might need a visor. today is going to be beating down. yeah. it's going to be really hot this afternoon. and we are under a microclimate weather alert due to not only the high heat advisory, but we're also going to have a higher fire danger. and we're looking at temperatures in the mid to upper 50s to start out, as you're heading out this morning, short sleeves and also shorts for today as well as the sunglasses. we're also dealing with an air quality advisory. due to the smoke, some of the air from the redwood city fire that's been drifting down the coast in the bay, into the south bay and santa clara valley. so that's still impacting our air quality. not only that, but the high pressure that's building is trapping down all of the smoke and the pollutants that we have today. and we're going to see those temperatures rising very quickly, going from the 50s, where we are now to 79, in san mateo, in hayward, we're looking at a high of 86 degrees and 98 degrees in concord, mostly upper

90s for much of the north bay, with san francisco warming up to 81 degrees. well, tomorrow we're going to also have some hot temperatures in the valleys while cool near the coastline. if you're going to half moon bay, some of the beaches along san mateo county, it's going to be very dangerous there, very dangerous waves because of the conditions that we're seeing offshore that may make the conditions that we could see for rip currents as well as sneaker waves. so watch out for that. temperatures heating up, still feeling like summer tomorrow, but then on thursday it's coming down slightly and we'll have a moderate heat risk for those inland areas and spots like clear lake and ukiah still up to over 100 degrees. and then looking at lafayette over the next few days, we're going to see highs up to the low 90s today and tomorrow. but then look at thursday. we're looking at a high of 77. so there will be a significant cooldown there going into the weekend and then gradually starting to warm up again early next week. our 7-day

forecast shows those triple digits today and tomorrow with upper 80s on thursday, and then on friday, some of our warmer spots inland will be in the low 80s. the weekend still pretty warm with some mid 80s, but it will be bearable, especially with san francisco's temperatures in the 60s. so there will be a wide range in highs across the bay area, but it will be very warm there today. mike's been tracking the commute so far. it seems pretty smooth. smooth start right now. no surprises. although a new incident pops up over in the east bay. it's off of the nimitz. i'll double check to make sure it's nothing big over there. same thing over here. just off of 680. again, this should be just 242 interchange on the shoulder. i believe we'll check on both of those with mild slowing for highway four. highway 37. not a surprise. and of course, we're looking at the travel time for vasco road. still only 19 minutes. that's a nice easy drive out of contra costa county.

did my legs shrink? i can move them. i mean, i knew alaska airlines' premium class had extra legroom but this... this feels different. okay. crazy idea. on the count of 3... i'm going to try and cross my... ohhhhhhhhhhh boyy that's nice. woooooo! ( ♪♪ )

under construction crews right now watching for any flare ups. communities in redwood city, atherton, palo alto and los altos. some neighborhoods are still under evacuation orders, but a nonprofit was actually developing those apartments that went up in flames in middlefield junction and now that organization is asking for donations because of yesterday's

fire. our consumer investigator, chris comer, joins us now to tell us more about that group. good morning. the organization is called mercy housing california. its website says it has more than 150 properties around the state, and more than 20,000 people live in them. it's part of a larger nonprofit organization that catholic nuns founded in 1981 to help create affordable housing. mercy housing takes donations, and in response to the fire, the nonprofit created a new middlefield relief fund and added this web page for donations from people like you. well, if you know me, you know that whenever someone's asking for our money, i want to know how they're spending it. so we reviewed mercy's tax returns, which the irs makes public late last year, mercy housing told the irs it collected $77 million in revenue. it says it spent 90% of that money on affordable housing. here's the rest 9% to administration and 1% to

fundraising. so is that any good? well the watchdog website charity navigator gave mercy housing a 97% positive score. the only real demerit was for not posting a copy of its tax return on its website. kris kimura today in the bay. thank you chris. well, next, the top stories we're following here this morning, including the hot temperatures across the bay area. a live look outside this morning. meteorologist kari hall is breaking down just how long the warm weather is expected to stick around. i hope

firefighters on alert following a massive fire at a construction site on the peninsula. we're live at the scene with an update including the evacuation order still in effect this morning. want to give you a live look outside? this morning? we are tracking the arrival of what may be triple digit heat in some locations. meteorologist kari hall has a timeline for us. this is today in the bay area. good morning to you. on this tuesday, i'm marcus washington and i'm laura garcia. let's get right to our breaking news. it was one of the largest fires that we've actually seen in a while. very busy day and night for firefighters in redwood city after a construction site erupted in flames. we covered it as breaking news for several hours yesterday, one of the largest structure fires in quite some time now. this morning, the

cleanup continues today in the bay's ginger conejero saab. she's live in redwood city, and ginger firefighters are still there. that is correct. good morning, marcus and laura. and as you mentioned, laura, we did bring this to our viewers as it broke yesterday. it's a very different scene here this morning. you can see still what remains of part of the construction site here. this is building b of what was supposed to be a two building affordable housing structure. now on the on the back side there you can still see, you know, the completely destroyed building. the went up in flames yesterday day. firefighters still watching out for hot spots and flare ups overnight. moments ago we just spoke with the battalion chief for menlo park fire. he gave us an update of their work overnight. let's listen in. we had, four crews in all night monitoring the activity on the fire. and, with the building that size, they are just keeping

an eye on the fire activity and the flare ups over the night. and they were putting those out as they flared up. and the, the, cleanup crew pushed in the scaffolding. that was a threat to the neighboring homes that were in the area. and it was really that scaffolding that was posing such a threat. we're showing you some of that video when part of the building is scaffolding came down yesterday evening, that is what was left of building a of middlefield junction. it was, as i mentioned, 179 unit affordable housing structure here in redwood city, though the scaffolding there knocked down for the safety of nearby homes along pacific avenue. now the threat of collapse was one of the reasons why people were told to evacuate. 100 homes initially in the north, fair oaks area were evacuated. 92 of those homes of the people living in those homes, they came home before nightfall yesterday, eight, however, remain evacuated

overnight. now, also late last night, the threat of hot spots and possible flare ups still seen, but firefighters, as we've been mentioning, quick to put them out. mercy housing, the nonprofit developer of what was supposed to be this two building affordable housing structure, remains committed to completing this project, which has been under construction for over a year and in the works for about a decade now. building b, or i should say building the building b's when it went up in flames. that's 104 units lost. building a, which includes a child care center and 75 living units that did not burn. now, we do expect another update from the pio of menlo fire around seven this morning. we'll get more word of when the investigation will start. the formal investigation, as i've been told, there have been external kind of interviews. the beginning of, of the investigation as far as, you know, what people could talk about, what firefighters,

investigators can learn looking from the outside, but no one's actually been inside yet, of course, because of safety. but at seven, we'll know more of what the plans will be for today. for now, i'll send it back to you guys. yeah, certainly not a safe structure. what's left of it. thank you, ginger, for the latest. well, let's get over to meteorologist kari hall. she's been tracking this heat, and that really is a concern because of the dry conditions we have and the wind that we've been seeing. how are things looking today? yes. so many issues that we're tracking with the air quality, the high heat, the low humidity and the wind. so all of that is what we're looking at very closely. and as we start out this morning, it is a clear morning. but you can see that it is hazy and we will have moderate air quality for parts of the south bay, the peninsula, as well as santa clara valley. as we are seeing some of that smoke continuing to move down from redwood city. and there we're looking at temperatures in the mid 50s to start out this morning. nice high humidity, but the sky is clear and temperatures will be warming up quickly. the wind is calm now, but we are expecting the wind at

about 10 to 15mph, up to 22mph at 2:00 in san francisco, as well as livermore. and we are going to see those winds in some spots picking up again for this evening, which will increase that fire danger as temperatures get much hotter in the inland areas. there will be a heat advisory in effect that begins at 11:00 this morning, continues until thursday, and we will see temperatures in the upper 90s in the inland east bay, as well as the north bay will be in the low 90s for the south bay. so we'll talk more about this high heat. and when we catch a break that's coming up in the full microclimate forecast. thanks, carrie. well, a live look south of tracee this morning, the scene of northern california's largest wildfire so far this season. and with those temperatures, as carrie was talking about heading perhaps into triple digits over the next couple of days, firefighters will be on high alert. meanwhile, the latest sign of higher fire danger, a grass right here fire last night. this

was near the altamont pass on patterson pass road. firefighters got a handle of it before it threatened those homes nearby and actually burned about 1000 acres. now, they say this time of the year it is always important to stay current on weather conditions, the rolling hills of the bay area, you're going to start seeing more fires like this. cal fire is also reminding everyone to sign up for safety alerts to receive those first notifications about potential evacuation orders. our thom jensen is speaking with firefighters this morning. he'll have a live report for us at the top of the hour, and we are continuously updating our website with the latest information tracking that heat. we have a link to all of those stories at the top of our trending bar. just go to nbcbayarea.com. new overnight authorities identifying a teenager shot and killed in antioch. investigators say a gunman shot and killed 18 year old henry granado. the second. it happened about 6:00 last night on mccall street near antioch high school. police are not saying if they know what led

up to the shooting or whether there's a suspect or arrest. if you saw anything in that area, you are asked to call antioch police. well, follow up supervisors today will sign off on the new contract recently approved for santa clara county's nurses. now the dispute at one point triggered a three day strike in april. close to 4000 registered nurses had nurses had been working without a contract for months before reaching a new four year deal last year. it includes multiple pay raises and other protections for nurses and county owned facility is in the wake of san francisco reporting. it's the first recent bird flu cases. some better news in sonoma county. that's where happening today, leaders will declare an end to the recent local bird flu emergency. the county first made that declaration in early december after a quarter million chickens were euthanized. the local emergency. he helped fast track assistance for farmers as for those san francisco cases, the health department says two chickens at a live bird market

were recently discovered to have bird flu. leaders do say there's no public health threat. leaders in alameda will vote on whether a controversial climate change project can resume on the uss hornet. it is called cloud brightening. university of washington scientists are trying to learn if spraying salt water into the air can brighten clouds and reflect more sunlight back into space. as a way to combat global warming. but earlier this month, city leaders halted that project over environmental concerns. a new study concludes that the process does not pose a measurable health risk to residents nor wildlife. today, oakland's new baseball team is set for a sold out home opener. the ballers game, set for later today at raymond park. it's the ballers versus the yolo high wheelers. despite being sold out right now, the team says more tickets may soon become available and carry for those attending today's game boy. better bring a ball cap. it's going to be hot. it's going to be hot. you want to make sure

you're staying hydrated and also dealing with all of that sun just beaming down on you. as far as temperatures. not too bad. as we go into the afternoon, we'll be in the upper 70s, eventually making it into the upper 80s for later today. so watching out for the high heat, especially as you go farther inland, where in spots like livermore will see a high of 9498 degrees in concord, vacaville and fairfield up to 101 degrees and 95 in novato in san francisco will be in the low 80s. so as you are looking at the range and temperatures that we'll see along the coastline, spots like half moon bay will be in the low 70s. but then we're also dealing with the risk of sneaker waves and rip currents will be very careful. never turn your back to the water. we're also going to have a couple of more hot days following this, so i'll talk about that in a few minutes. mikey found some flashing lights at the bay bridge, and we also find the backup forming, which is pretty much on schedule. the flashing lights over here right before the overcrossing. no incidents reported for chp, no lanes

blocked there. but this unusual backup form very quickly may just be some slowing at that particular mini toll plaza. you know, the one over on the right side. meanwhile, the rest of the east bay shows highway four, highway four with a little bit of slowing in north bay for highway 37. this crash, we talked about checking it out. it is on the shoulder south. 242 slows though a little bit. some for the distraction, more for the volume coming down out of concord and in toward pleasant hill. other than that, we're going to take a look ahead. we do have a couple of other activities in the east bay. the a's play today at the coliseum. smooth flow in and out off of the freeway, so it should be okay. but note the crowd for the evening game. another one just about the same time. this is what you guys just talked about. the ballers. this is where raymond park is. i know it's just a few thousand people, but it's right off of 880. there's grand avenue and it is in an area just to and from the bay bridge that flow may be affected as well. and of course, people will be curious coming into the area. they're hoping to open up more seats. so not as big a crowd today, maybe bigger in future games. back to you.

thanks, mike. 540 right now and major upgrades to train stations ahead for you here on today in the bay, we're going to talk about amtrak and how it's set to unveil the overhauls at four bay area stations in just a matter of hours. we're going to explain how it will boost access for all riders and president biden expected to announce a crackdown at the border. but can he do it legally? we'll take a look. well, i've been at this for so long and i think this year i kind of came to a realization. i was like, you know what? making it for myself is just not getting the traction that i want it to get. and so this year, i told myself, i'm really going to try to make some stuff for other people. well, viral fashion designer christian juszczyk is creating new buzz, this time with her unusual success story opening up to kelly on her rise to fashion fame. keep it her

under a microclimate weather alert as high heat ramps up across much of the bay area, san jose will be under a heat advisory that starts at 11:00 and continues throughout the day , and our temperatures are headed for the upper 80s and low 90s. there will be some spots reaching the triple digits. i'll show you that. coming up in the full microclimate forecast 101 is the freeway. but look at those temperatures kerry had here. palo alto 101 moves smoothly southbound with these headlights, northbound with the tail lights going up towards san mateo and san francisco. a smooth drive on the peninsula

right now. we'll see how things are picking up over in the east bay. coming up. thank you very much, kerry. mike, we do have breaking news just into our newsroom. take a look at your screen. the vallejo fire department battling a two alarm fire. it is happening on alameda street near florida street brand . new photos. the fire department just posted on x. you see the massive flames tearing through the house. fire department of course. still on the scene. not clear if anyone was hurt or what caused the fire. we will of course continue to follow this fire that is happening in vallejo this morning. new overnight while you were sleeping, the u.s. successfully tested an unarmed ballistic missile launch. this happened at around 1 a.m. at vandenberg space force base on the central coast. now, the air force global strike command says that that launch meant to verify the safety and readiness of its weapons systems. now, it is one of two launches scheduled for this week over at vandenberg. 5:45 right now, president biden will talk this morning about a

new executive order restricting the number of people who can apply for asylum at the border and scott mcgrew. this is actually an idea that started with republicans. absolutely it did. good morning to you. it's almost identical. in fact, it's something that then president trump tried to do when he was president and the democrats called foul. so too did the courts. it's also very much like the plan that republicans put together in their very tough border bill, that they ultimately abandoned when trump told them to. now, we haven't seen the text of the executive order, but if it's similar to the republicans bill, it would allow the president to limit the number of people applying for asylum at the border. if that number rises above a certain point. the original proposal was 5000. now, understand, our border system hits that number most days. so this would be in effect, a permanent limitation at the border and the toughest border policy from a democrat in year in years. rather, here's

the thing though about executive orders. they happen all the time and they get a lot of press, but they're often ineffective and when they're not, when they actually do something, they're often not legal. congress did not pass the law to restrict the number of migrants seeking asylum. president's taking action when congress doesn't sounds like a take charge idea, but it's generally not how our system works. we very much saw this with obama and daca. obama was a huge proponent of the executive order. congress failed to take action to protect dreamers, so obama just did it anyway. now, rules by presidential fiat is something to think about because you might support one president taking more power than congress had in mind, but you might not support it with another president. constitutional scholars worry about this consolidation of presidential power. democrats in the house are going to join their fellow democrats in the senate, pushing for a new law to protect an adult woman's access to contraception. republicans will likely block it in the

house vote against it in the senate. and of course, that's the whole idea. democrats trying to put republicans on record as voting against birth control, an american woman's access to birth control codified in the supreme court. griswold versus connecticut. but the legal reasoning behind it is very similar to the legal thinking behind roe, which, of course, was overturned in the dobbs decision. justice thomas, writing for the dobbs decision, said in future cases, we should reconsider all of this courts substantive due process precedents. biden white house continues to push for a cease fire in gaza. neither hamas nor israel have committed to it, even though hamas agreed to something earlier and the current plan, the white house says, was israel's idea. the proposal on the table is nearly identical to what hamas said it would accept just a few weeks ago, and it is now time for them to act. it is time for them to accept the deal. it is time to finalize this agreement and put

an end to the suffering of israelis and palestinians alike. well, let's end with something lighter. a congressman angrily speaking out about the trump verdict doesn't sound amusing, but it is. if he brings his son to work and lets him sit behind him in the house chamber, representative john rose of tennessee, now he's on the left, told his six year old son that his younger brother was probably watching and that he should smile for the camera so his little brother sees it. here's a little bit of congressman rose's very serious speech. regardless of one's opinion of the current republican nominee, we'd be well served to remember the long and cherished tradition we have in this country of settling our political differences at the ballot box. no word if guy's little brother sam, who's three, saw the video, but rather i suspect he did. laura. yeah. no kidding. and none of us heard anything that he said as we were watching that adorable, very serious. all right. thank you very much, kids. well happening

today, amtrak celebrates a milestone at four bay area train stations. leaders cut the ribbon on recently completed work to meet required federal accessibility improvements. bay area contractors performed about $20 million of work at the coliseum, fremont, hayward and martinez stations. it brings the four stations into compliance for people with disabilities. amtrak's chief accessibility officer says it helps make sure there's accessible for all any passenger that has a disability, regardless of their disability or ability to be able to maneuver from street to the platform, onto the train and from the train back to through the station and back to whether it be a bus or a vehicle. today's ribbon cutting and news conference takes place at 2:00 this afternoon at the martinez station, san francisco city hall lit up with pride. mayor london breed and the lgbtq community kicked off the city's 54th annual pride month. yesterday.

the mayor talked about a series of programs supporting the lgbtq community, but says she's most excited that san francisco is the first in the country to have an office of transgender initiatives. she also said the city is working to create a new building for the first ever lgbtq museum in san francisco. interesting wahab it. well, the nfl offseason underway and players are enjoying certainly some downtime. well deserved. but we'll tell you who isn't taking any time off so far. christian news check. she's at fashion designer and wife of san francisco's 40 niner fullback kyle use check. yeah, kristen's been very busy at work. you know, one of her recent designs was for handmade. it was a jacket for the winner of the indy 500. we're talking about josef newgarden. she actually posted that video on instagram. and it is just one of her many fashion designs that have gone viral. you may remember she made that puffer jacket for celebrities like taylor swift. we saw some simone biles in them , taylor lautner and as well as kelly clarkson. christian

actually stopped by kelly clarkson's show and the two shared their unique first encounter. take a look. the last time we saw each other, this could not be a more sad story on my part, but i had found out there was a whataburger that opened in vegas. yeah, and i'm texan. well, do you know i sprinted to you in my slippers? i was like, kelly wants a vest. what so i'm in my hotel room. i mend my slippers because i had the worst blisters that week. i just am not cut out for the heel life. yeah. no. so i'm wearing the slippers and i sprinted to you on this trip to vegas to meet me at a whataburger. she was like, she. she was like, hey, where should we meet? and my manager was like, we're at whataburger. yeah. like well, it was close to me. so i sprinted there. i was probably huffing and puffing. use. shaq recently scored a licensing deal with the nfl, and we all are excited to see what designs she has in store this season. she's come up with some good stuff. now you can watch that entire interview on the kelly clarkson show. that's at 3:00 right here on nbc

bay area. no spoiler alerts for you, but you can see a cameo from one certain 40 niner that will be followed by nbc bay area news at 4:30 for you this afternoon. it's pretty exciting. but i mean, i think a lot of people want to see some of her things go mainstream. yeah. you know, or at least morning team. yeah, yeah. no kidding. good morning. run with your slippers. we'll kick them off and find the flip flops by this afternoon. yeah. it's going to be a hot day. so we're starting out mild. but then the temperatures heat up so quickly. you want to make sure you're prepared for all of the changes. we'll see especially away from this view. looking at the golden gate bridge where yesterday we couldn't even see anything because of the fog. now the fog is gone and you know what that means. it's going to be a warmer day. we're right now at 50 degrees and it is 55. in oakland . we're at 57 degrees in san jose and upper 50s for concord. then going into the afternoon, we'll see this heat advisory going in effect for all of these areas shaded in orange. so

notice that it does not include the coastline or the inner bay. it's all of our inland valleys. so that's where our temperatures will be much hotter this afternoon compared to yesterday where a lot of us were in the 70s. today we're talking 90 degrees in san jose, 92 in morgan hill and 92 in cupertino. we'll be up to 100 degrees in antioch today, upper 90s for much of the tri-valley and then for oakland. we're looking at a high of 88 degrees there today. so definitely some very intense heat, especially for people without air conditioning. and we're going to see a high of 88 in redwood city and 74 in daly city, san francisco. also warming up too. we're looking at a high of 80 downtown, 81 in the mission district and some upper 70s for the outer sunset, 97 today in napa, as well as santa rosa and 95 in ukiah. after our high heat today, it just repeats tomorrow. we're still looking at some highs over 100 degrees for

fairfield, upper 90s for livermore and concord, and much of the north bay will be in the 90s. so we're still going to continue with the moderate heat risk of how this may affect your health. we're going to really have to take it easy and drink lots of water, even if you don't feel thirsty. and then we're going to see temperatures coming down slightly for the coast and inner bay. but we're still going to see some 90s for the interior valleys. san jose is looking forward to a nice and mild weekend after seeing those 90s will be in the low 80s for saturday and sunday, so it does look like it improves significantly. we may have some more high heat ahead for next week, but we're just trying to make it through today and tomorrow. with those highs over 100 degrees in a few spots. upper 80s tomorrow, and then we'll be in the low 80s for friday with a comfortably warm weekend ahead. mike, how's it looking now in the south bay? you know we have some slowing here. typical for 101 northbound but then atypical. i want to show you it's relatively light in the south bay. but coming in

i saw some more slowing around. bailey. it's starting to ease up. there are no incidents reported on either. our cat here or even one farther south. for monterey, we do have slowing typical from san martin up into morgan hill. nothing dramatic, so we'll keep our eyes on that. meanwhile, we have a typical little build for 880, actually a very mild build right now, passing san mateo and the dumbarton bridges for the nimitz. this is where that fire in vallejo we were talking about just a few minutes ago. it's on the alameda street just off of highway 29. not a major issue, but again, we're following that because it is a house fire and highway 37 does show the slowing typical same thing for highway four in toward the crash at pleasant hill. but notice the lighter traffic through contra costa county and of course, the backup at the bay bridge right here. back to you. all right. thanks, mike. well, happening. now, if you live in san jose, the price you pay for your trash to pick up anyway. well, it could soon increase. the meeting is set for today to discuss a 6% rate increase. this is proposed by the city. if approved, that increase will go into effect on july 1st. the city council will

have a final say and needs to approve that increase. they say that plan to address those questions at today's meeting. there is much more head on today in the bay, including an early start to fire season ramps up across the bay area, the new blaze igniting not far from one of the biggest fires so far this season. the big question will crews be able to keep up with team's rapid? with temperatures rapidly heating up? but a reminder for you, nbc bay area news streams 24/7. you can watch us whenever you like roku oron

shoring up. get ready for multiple days of hot temperatures. meteorologist kari hall is tracking these dangerous conditions as we issue a microclimate weather alert. our firefighters are aware of the weather patterns and the wind patterns, and usually they they know, generally speaking, the time periods throughout the day when there's typically going to be more more chance of a fire being reported. the hotter temperatures fueling an ea
