the car crashes into the bay bridge toll plaza. the car was removed a few hours ago, but the

impact is still lingering. our mike inouye is tracking your monday morning commute. a rush to contain the flames as they get dangerously close to homes in the east bay. the conditions crews are facing as we head into the start of wildfire season. plus, a story you'll only see on nbc bay area thieves not just going after mail carriers and mailboxes. now they're targeting your mail right inside of the post office. this is today in the bay. thanks for joining us on this monday morning. i'm kris sanchez and i'm ginger conejero saab. marcus and laura are off this morning. let's get right to that. breaking news. mike inouye has been tracking that news on the bay bridge all morning. mike yeah, crash happened about 4:00 in the morning. then during the 5:00 hour, they cleared the one of the vehicles. the only vehicle, as i'm, as i'm told, involved hitting that divider right there. see where all those crews are here between lanes seven and eight at the toll

plaza. crashed there, we're told. major injuries. and then just minutes ago, we got word. great news. instead of major injuries, minor injuries that a lot of soreness on the body. but a head injury and not a major one. and this should be also good news. we have two more lanes that are open. so only lanes seven and eight are blocked. you see the caltrans crews here i believe they're assessing damage to see whether or not they can reopen those lanes. i'm not sure. we haven't really gotten a clue that. but there is that backup on the approach at the toll plaza itself. but look at that. the berkeley curve, even moving smoothly, things are relatively light as far as the traffic flow goes compared to that bay bridge toll plaza. the rest of the bay very easy. thanks a lot, mike. well, in the east bay, crews are on scene of a brush fire in pittsburg. here's a live look this morning. the blaze appears to have started in a warehouse for the pittsburg theater company off of john henry johnson parkway. the fire sparked shortly before 5:00 sunday, burning at least 55 acres. there. you can see all that. smoke it quickly spread

and came dangerously close to homes within a couple of hours, cal fire and contra costa county firefighters did have it under control. beginning today, cal fire crews up and down the state are boosting their staffing to peak levels. our bob redell will have much more on their plan of action ahead in our next half hour. but first meteorologist kari hall is here. and kerry, we do have another hot week ahead, right? we do. we are going to see a couple of hot days in the middle of the week, but right now we are catching a break. hopefully they do continue to keep that contained and we're in the upper 50s. the wind is calm and the humidity is high, so that tends to slow the spread of any fires out there. and throughout the day we are going to see temperatures heating up, going from low 60s at 7:00 this morning to headed for the upper 80s and even a few low 90s later today. and then tomorrow the heat advisory begins as the high heat continues, it ramps back up for the inland areas. now notice that it does not include the bay and the coast. we are going to

see temperatures there in the 70s and 80s, and we are looking at today some slightly warmer temperatures. but the major heat risk really increases tomorrow, so i'll have more on that as well as the air quality coming up in a few minutes. all right. thank you carrie. turning now to decision 2020 for former president donald trump is scheduled to meet virtually with a probation officer this morning. this is related to the guilty verdicts in that hush money trial against him today in the bay's alice barr joins us now from washington dc with more on what we expect. this is a virtual meeting. what else do we know? this is a required step. kris in the sentencing process, as you noted, three sources tell nbc news that former president trump will meet virtually with his probation officer and that mr. trump will be speaking from his estate in mar-a-lago. this is required by the court as part of the former president's pre-sentencing report, that officer will evaluate mr. trump's level of remorse, his financial background, his mental

state, and then provide a report to the judge to help him determine the appropriate sentencing. on july 11th, legal experts say the former president could be asked if he associates with anyone with a criminal record, and he may also want to interview other people in mr. trump's home afterwards. the judge may this comes or rather the officer may. this comes as the former president just held his first rally since his criminal conviction. he spoke to a crowd of more than 20,000 people, enduring a 100 degree temperatures in the las vegas sun. mr. trump particularly slammed the biden family and president biden's recent executive order related to curtailing asylum seekers at the u.s. southern border for three and a half years, the people of nevada have had a front row seat to joe biden's evil and criminal obliteration of our southern border. it was criminal. what he's done. did you see the other day he came out with little plan. let's make it a little bit

tougher because he's getting killed in the poll. we're leading here by like 12 points. you know that. all we have to do is stop the steal, and we have it made. and following his conviction in that criminal hush money trial, former president trump faces anywhere from probation to up to four years in prison in washington. i'm alice barr, kris. back to you. all right. thank you very much, alice. and of course, we'll be covering that for you throughout the day. 605 for you this monday morning, a weekend full of reunion and heartbreak, joy spread across israel. as for hostages held by hamas for more than 200 days were reunited with their loved ones. but their rescue it came at the high cost for palestinians. now, over the weekend, an israeli military raid in gaza reunited four israeli hostages with their families as 300 palestinians were killed in the raid, a u.s. official with knowledge of the matter tells nbc news. the u.s.

provided intelligence which helped support the rescue, as senior u.s. officials have told nbc news, the biden administration is considering a unilateral deal with hamas to release american hostages this deal would not include israel, and it would only happen if current cease fire talks involving israel fail. now, back here in the bay area today, a rally is planned outside the san francisco federal building. that is where a three judge panel will hear an appeal in a lawsuit accusing the biden administration of being complicit in a genocide by providing israel with weapons for the war in gaza. the original lawsuit went to court back in january, and at that time, a judge decided that this was not a question for the courts to decide. now, as the judges convene for the appeal, demonstrators are planning to rally in front of the san francisco federal building. during that hearing, which is set at ten this morning in the south bay, there are reports of

thieves targeting your mail. well, not at your post, not at your mailbox, on your house, but in p.o. boxes inside post offices. this is a story you will only see here on nbc bay area lila gibson visits her p.o. box about once a week in the willow glen branch, and over the weekend she went to open her box and discovered someone had stolen all of her mail. a usps postal investigator tells us. gibson's p.o. box is just one of the break ins reported at that post office branch. they are still trying to figure out how many other boxes were broken into. investigators say p.o. box break ins are not that common, but that this is happening more often here in the bay area. by the way, gibson says she originally got that p.o. box so that her mail wouldn't get stolen. i see the post office as an added layer of security. okay, it's i'm thinking it's protected as government property. so that's why i got a

post office box. and to have this happen, i mean, it was really shocking how stealing mail is a federal offense, which could lead to five years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines. wild video along the embarcadero in san francisco from the weekend is coming to light this morning. take a look at that. a large sideshow ended with a car on fire. this was in front of pier one overnight on sunday near the ferry building, but these flames, this sideshow only part one. the crowd then moved to valencia and cesar chavez in the mission district, and that part of the sideshow lasted about 30 minutes before police broke it up. across the bay in oakland. take a look at this sideshow. it started at the intersection of grand avenue and lake park. also overnight on

sunday. it continued, then at several locations around the city. you can see drivers doing stunts and other other setting fireworks off, but one point, you just just happened there. one point, the video appears to show a driver hit someone in the middle of the circle. police later broke up the crowd, but there is no word yet on any possible injuries or arrests. disturbing new numbers show that thousands of north bay residents died prematurely because of wildfire smoke, according to a study published friday in science advances. 2300 sonoma county residents died prematurely from fine particulate matter specifically caused by wildfires between 2008 and 2018. those numbers don't even include those big incidents that happened after 2018, including the kincade fire and the lnu complex. now, the study recorded nearly 700 premature deaths in napa county. fine particulates are linked to a number of serious health

problems, and the study found particulates from wildfire smoke are ten times more harmful to humans than other particulate matter. now we want to take a look at our current air quality, because we know we have seen some of those fires and sometimes the weather conditions kind of trap it. yeah. so we have high pressure on those really hot days. you also don't have a lot of wind as well, and that keeps it from mixing out our air quality. outlook is still moderate for parts of the east bay as well as the coast and the bay, and that means that for people who have any kind of health condition, heart condition, you want to limit your time outside. because of that, particulate matter can get in your lungs and affect not only your lungs, but other parts of your body and your health. so we are going to see some moderate air quality in parts of the bay area today. one way to reduce that is to catch public transit. so as you're heading to the bart station in pleasant hill, we're going to see temperatures in the mid 50s this morning. it will be at about 70 degrees at 10:00, but it's going to be heating up going into the

afternoon. not as hot as what's ahead, but we are starting to see those numbers coming up a few more degrees for the peak of those highs today in the upper 80s in much of the north bay, as well as the east bay, with san jose's high up to 85 degrees. and mike, you've been tracking where we can fill up our gas tanks for a little bit less. yeah, and positive news. i think, on both parts of my report here. first, second best price in the entire state. livermore's foxy gasoline. i know we talked about this place on old first street in livermore. we talked about it friday, but it's down $0.20 over the weekend to 381. so that's great progress there. the star in the south bay is star gas in san jose for 25 on hillsdale avenue. and in the north bay. vallejo has bond fair on sacramento street with 429 on the sign there. thank you for reporting and sharing gasbuddy.com on the roadways. the positive news is that there has been progress at the bay bridge toll plaza. the backup now starting to build as the volume now 612 starting to build throughout the area. but we're looking at our camera from overhead. and we just noticed i

noticed the caltrans crews cleared. and i have noticed now all lanes are being used for. while it was a hesitant to use lanes seven and eight where the earlier crash happened because the signs still said it was closed, but all lanes appear to be taking traffic. scott well, coming up mike on today in the bay, some artists are leaving instagram. we'll tell you why. out to the future is on this monday morning. it looks like we'll lose a little off the top as the markets open in about 20 minutes and from california to hawaii, the brave kayakers undergoing a rigorous and daunting mission to those tropical islands. keep it here. you're watching today in the bay

continue to flirt with new records s&p 500 just below all time highs okay. this is not a mistake. we put nvidia on the board twice. this was the closing price on friday. about $1,200 a share. that's the opening price this morning $120 a share. this after a ten for one stock split that took effect after the market closed friday. also on friday, we got the may jobs numbers showing there were far more jobs added to the economy than experts thought. they always lowball it. they always get it wrong. 232,000 jobs added another sign the economy continues to be strong despite the fed's effort to slow it down through higher interest rates. they'll have another interest rate meeting this week. nobody expects any change, especially not with those strong jobs numbers. apple begins its yearly worldwide developers conference today in cupertino, expected to show off changes to siri to make it better. apple is

way behind other companies on ai. in fact, it's teaming up with chatgpt maker openai to catch up. a number of artists are pulling their art off instagram to prevent the parent company, meta, from using their art to train ai. ai. some artists say they don't want any part of that. this artist, kelly mckernan, says meta is training on everything we've ever publicly shared in order to make human creativity obsolete and replace us with synthetic, cheap content. meta did update its privacy policy recently to warn users. as of june 26th, the company may use their posts to train its ai kind of a double whammy for artists who see their art used to train what they fear will be their eventual replacement. and finally, chris and ginger, a push in japan to allow women to keep their names after they marry. one of japan's biggest business lobbies is asking the japanese parliament to change the law to allow women to continue to use the name

they've used all their lives in business after they are married. it is one of those complex things, you know, tradition, etc. i will point out japan codified women's rights in its constitution. we helped write it, but, you know, it's one of the few western democracies. rather, that's done that. but it is very traditional that that they pick one name. they're allowed to pick the wife's name. they almost never do. and then that person, as they come to business, you know, they they're known as one name for 20 years or whatever. yeah. well, i remember my girlfriend went to med school and it was like, whatever's on your medical license is. that's it, right? you're done. right. so she hadn't had kids yet. and the same with me. i'm like, i know i'll have them at some point and pick up, drop off, you know? yeah. right. that's ten years down the road, like, do i. what do i want to do. so bottom line, you should pick your own name. yeah. right. right i get confused which name is which. i'm like? is this on this one? is this. yeah. oh yeah. yeah.

and then it's just like other knowns that your name under. so i'm like, okay, let's just write it off. but then of course all of our friends, because my husband's also kris everybody calls me sanchez. so i'm like, i get to i got to keep it. yeah all right. thanks, scott. you bet. thanks, scott. yeah. trending this morning, the world's toughest row is underway right now. the competitors on their way to hawaii. and if you haven't heard of this grueling competition, just know that it takes strength and guts. teams of rowers set out yesterday from monterey. they're rowing about 2800 miles all the way. to hawaii. we're tired just thinking about it. they row for two hours, then they get a two hour break. that cycle happens for the entire day. and as you can imagine, it's a journey full of blisters and sleep deprivation. but what amazing. what an amazing accomplishment when you actually get there. all the emotions kind of coming out. you don't know what you're going to face out there. so my team, the hurricane rowing team, has been training here for about

four months and we've just been super blessed with the community and their support. let's take a live look to see where those rowers are right now. wow. they're early into their journey . still just off the coast of california. they're on that two hour schedule. it's like when babies born, you know, like you're two hours, then you have to breastfeed. then you have to, you know, which is more grueling. i don't know, i do know that hawaiian airlines will take you there. also, i was going to say cruises are very popular again. so, you know, and i'm just thinking like good for them. but like, you've been to orange theory with me. i'm crying on the on the roadblock. i'm like, oh my god. 30s oh my god, feel it burn we do at orange theory is like what, 20, you know, 2000, 2500m. so like way skip that day. all right. well we're going to have some great weather for them. thankfully there aren't any storms out there. and we're also going to see our usual marine layer kind of slide over the bay

area. and hold our temperatures down for today. and the heat advisory returns tomorrow. so the view we have this morning will be all clear by tomorrow when you wake up. and that also increases the fire danger with the lack of humidity and some of our inland areas in the hills as those temperatures heat up. but it will be trending cooler for the end of the week as well as this weekend. and if you've been sneezing a lot lately, you may be allergic to grass pollen that's high on the pollen count today. olive trees and weeds are moderate and mold is fairly low at this point. we've been spending a little bit more time outside with the milder temperatures over the weekend, and it does continue for much of the bay area. today will be in the low 70s for san mateo and san francisco, 85 for novato and 83 for moraga. dublin 86 degrees and 90 in livermore. a little bit warmer for those inland areas. but then look at the change tomorrow. we're going up another five, six, seven degrees. and that means triple digits for ukiah and clear lake. and very close in santa rosa,

while san francisco will be in the upper 70s. and then just as fast as it warmed up, it's going to come down a few degrees on wednesday. so we're just going to see that quick spike in temperatures with cooler air ahead for the rest of the week into the weekend. so what we are going to see today won't last as long as it did last week. and we're going to have one, maybe two days, depending on your location of some highs in the 90s and then back to the 80s for the rest of the week. and san francisco will go from mid 60s today to about 72 tomorrow, and then back to the 60s from thursday on. mike, you're reading the signs at the bay bridge. yeah, literally reading the signs and all of them now are moving. well, they're all open. no more closed signs. so that's great for lanes seven and eight over there at the toll plaza. as we look at the backup right here, we're just going to stick with these maps because they just show you a little backup forming on the approach. now i think those metering lights were slowed down a bit. so they can make sure that that span itself handles the new onslaught fine. and there's no problem. we're looking at the

berkeley curve no deal out of the maze is a smooth, easy drive right now. look at the rest of the east bay and also the south bay. back to you. lots of green. thank you. mike. next on today in the bay. nbc bay area response. the numbers on her hotel bill are more than $500 off. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. we watch every penny. so nbc bay area responds next

tell website. as you can see right here, it's actually a partnership with booking.com. well, here's the thing, rosemary paid booking.com 2294 bucks. but when she checked out her hotel receipt said her stay cost $1,704. that's a $590 difference. rosemary wanted to know why and she wanted to get that money back. she said she tried, but got nowhere, so she contacted us. we contacted booking.com. it turns out rosemary's receipt was a glimpse at the cash that can change hands behind the scenes. when a travel agent like booking.com books a hotel for you. when we asked about rosemary's bill, booking.com told us an invoice was mistakenly given to the customer that incurred displayed the wholesale room rate and not

we got the staffing levels back in place and we're preparing for the increase in fire activity right now. at 630, firefighters in the east bay monitoring hot spots after a flame broke out dangerously close to homes. and as wildfire season now ramps up, the changes state fire leaders are making starting today, weeks ahead of schedule, apple's worldwide developers conference kicks off today in cupertino. we'll tell you what to expect

from the world's most valuable company. this is today in the bay and good monday morning. i'm ginger conejero saab and i'm kris sanchez. today one city in the north bay is declaring the start of wildfire season. and it comes as it was devastated by wildfires back in 2017. and we have live team coverage this morning. meteorologist kari hall tracking warm temperatures again this week. but first today in the bay's bob redell joins us live from the east bay. bob still, many are on alert following a weekend fire. there well, there are a couple of crews from con fire somewhere in these hills of pittsburgh. we're inside stoneman park, where you can see the remains of a 55 acre wildfire. this is from yesterday. they're out there this morning just to mop up some areas. there was some some stump that was on fire earlier. so they are putting that out. they just want to make sure that this

doesn't flare back up. and that is a cause for concern. i don't know if the camera is showing this, but it is definitely a little gusty out here. and that's not good when you're dealing with wildfires. this ignited just before five last night. it appears to have started in a warehouse for the pittsburgh theater company that's located inside this park off john henry johnson parkway. firefighters with con fire and cal fire. they had this fire under control within a couple of hours. no structures were damaged as far as we know. but with these gusty winds, people who live in a nearby neighborhood were getting nervous last night. the helicopters were like on top of the house. we seen like this red smoke that they put down to stop it. definitely a scare. it's been a busy week for us. it's a good reminder that fire season is upon us and people need to be, be ready. last wednesday, the crystal fire in saint helena scorched 60 acres, and the weekend before, we're talking about the weekend before. this last weekend, firefighters battled the corral fire near tracey, which burned 14,000

acres of dry, grassy hills along 580 starting today. and over the next couple of weeks, cal fire crews up and down the state. they're boosting their staffing to peak levels. they're adding extra fire engines, choppers, air tankers, bulldozers and hand crews. this is weeks ahead of schedule, as carrie's been talking about. as we're all well aware, we had a very rainy season, very wet, rainy season, which produced a lot of vegetation. well, now we've got this heat, that vegetation is drying out and unfortunately it's providing a lot of fuel for scenes like this behind me. incidentally, as you guys were both mentioning, the city of santa rosa today declaring the start of its official wildfire season, we all know that back in 2017, the tubbs fire devastated much of that city and killed a number of people. there reporting live here in pittsburgh, bob redell today in the bay. thank you bob. well, let's check in with meteorologist kari hall kerry. we know that we can see the hillsides when they start to get crispy, but the cal fire looks at it a little differently. yes. so this is not some arbitrary

date. they're pulling out of the air. their scientists that are going out there, they're snipping some of the brush off the grass, and they're measuring the moisture content within those fuels and seeing if it does come down to a certain percentage level, then they're like, okay, it's dry enough for any fires that do develop to spread quickly. right now, the grasses are at a high fire danger and the brush is elevated. the trees, some of the larger trees are moderate and overall across the region, with the type of vegetation that we have, it is about average or slightly above average. one thing you want to do now, while we are still fire free for now, you want to create that defensible space. also, do not flick those cigarets out the window and don't dry or drive on dry grass. secure those toe chains and also use grills on paved surfaces. most of the fires that we have are started by people, so we are looking at also higher heat coming our way and we're going to have this heat advisory in effect for the

inland areas today. temperatures are still mild, but we are going to have some hotter weather coming our way. we have an easy way for you to track the rising temperatures and the fire danger where you live. just point your smartphone at the qr code on the screen to download our free nbc bay area app, and you can also set personalized alerts for your neighborhood ginger. thank you. kerry police this morning are investigating a shooting at a san francisco bart station. it happened around 730 last night in the plaza at the 16 in mission street bart station. it's not yet clear what led up to the shooting, or if anyone was seriously hurt. we have called out to the police for more information. service for bart was not disrupted. well, new this morning. students applying to stanford in the fall will need to submit a sat and act scores. you might remember the university temporarily dropped the test score requirement during the pandemic, but the university now says resd

found that performance on these tests do endorsements in classes . uc and cal state schools still are not requiring sat or act scores for their applicants. apple today will launch its yearly worldwide developers conference in cupertino, and usually the week long confab starts with a major product announcement. scott mcgrew. you point out that apple's most recent announcements have been like, we have the yellow iphone now. exactly. they did have that augmented reality headset, apple vision pro, but you can't put that up there with the introduction of the ipod or the iphone. it turns out the hardware we have, the iphones we own, that apple makes are really good enough. maybe we don't need anything else. what we do need is for that hardware to work better, to anticipate our needs. answer our questions, play prints when we want spotify to play prints, it's not too much to ask. video here of a past worldwide developers conference, we expect apple today will

announce big improvements to its siri voice command. give it more power through ai. pressure's on. remember, openai had that killer demo of its technology just a few months ago, leaving siri in the dust. hey, how's it going? hey, there. it's going great. how about you? i see you're rocking an open ai hoodie. nice choice. in fact, apple will be teaming up with openai to make its siri more intelligent, better listener able to understand what it is you want, ending the frustration that was no better illustrated than this episode of curb your enthusiasm. siri direction to wolf's glen, directions to great wolf lodge no siri, wolf's glen restaurant. at one option, i see woods garden supply on benedict canyon, siri wolf's glen restaurant in westwood, wwdc gets underway at 10 a.m. our

time. we'll bring you highlights on our midday news kris at 11 series hurdle swear words in our car in english and spanish. siri, what is the weather like today? not nice. that's no, it's going to be nice today. tomorrow is a different story. it's going to be a lot hotter. and we're also going to see the temperatures start out nice and cool. as of right now, you can see the clouds in that marine layer that keeps our temperatures from heating up too quickly. so in san rafael it's 55 degrees 57 in san jose. nice, cool morning across the bay area and it will be a warm afternoon for some of our inland spots. like livermore. we go from 60 degrees at 8:00 to 80 degrees at noon and into the upper 80s for later today. we're going to hit a high there of 90 and 85. in san jose. meanwhile, san mateo is in the low 70s and much of the north bay is in the mid to upper 80s. we're up to 98. in ukiah and seeing those temperatures much hotter for tomorrow up to the triple digits

in a few spots, you can see that there will be a moderate heat risk for parts of the south bay. the east bay, as it will be in the upper 90s for spots like concord and fairfield, and up to 100 degrees for vacaville. we'll take a look at the rest of the week coming up. mike, are things recovering now at the bay bridge? carry the sensors are starting to move a little better at the toll plaza, though. the backup is starting to show more slowing at the berkeley curve. again, that should improve, though, because at the bay bridge we saw those lanes clear as caltrans left lanes seven and eight. in between those two lanes, there was a crash, minor injuries, but now all the overhead signs are cleared. they're showing normal operations instead of the closure. so no more confusion as folks are traveling through the toll plaza. there is that big backup, though. it builds in this shot right here, all the way to the toll plaza and beyond, toward where the lanes narrow up toward the bay bridge itself. and again, we'll check on the berkeley build there. it's there the rest of the east bay and the north bay, showing a pretty similar build that you normally see in the city. there's the third. there's the

start of a three game series at oracle park for the giants. and tonight there's a start of a three tunnel. one bore will remain open though. back to you. thank you. mike an american consulate vandalized. up next, the damage done in australia and what investigators are revealing about a possible motive. plus a scene straight out of the jetsons could be closer to reality. right here in the bay area. and because of a bay area company. an updated timeline on when we could see electric air taxis taking off. plus fontana, ladies and gentlemen, our new secret weapon, the mega millions five. catching up with the villain behind the minions, steve carell talking all things gru in the new disciple. me movie. when we come back, we'll be right back. yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah. bananas

pushing the united nations to get behind ceasefire for israel and hamas. scott mcgrew. in the past, the us has stopped the un from demanding the very same thing. so why the flip right vetoed it. vetoed cease fire plans in the united nations security council. what matters most in this, of course, is why israel and or what rather israel and hamas think of this peace plan, whether they'll abide by it. but the us seems to think getting other countries to support the peace plan would put pressure on hamas to accept it. israel of course, wants its hostages home. that's a key issue. hamas wants to continue to rule gaza after the war. that's a key nonstarter for israel. secretary of state antony blinken once again in the mideast, this time in egypt, this is his eighth visit to the region since the attack on israel october 7th. he's headed to israel next. president biden back home this morning after his

berkeley to inspire young minds after introducing ai to her young daughter, the world renowned computer scientist founded a club in sarasota to reach out to young minds around the world. later this month, ai club will host the 2024 ai club research symposium. it is open to sixth through 10th graders, with ai projects who want to share with their peers. she says it's a great way to relieve the fears around ai, not just for students, but also for parents. i think it's important to acknowledge that the fear is reasonable, artificial intelligence is going to impact every industry, every, you know, it's going to be around your lives, and it's probably more in your lives than you might even realize. education is the key. and unfortunately, ignoring it is, and hoping it'll go away is simply not going to work. it's not going to go away. so the best thing to do is to understand how to thrive in this environment. right now. this is

open to your teens. it is free event. it's live on zoom. it is scheduled for june 22nd from nine in the morning until 1230. well, your favorite minions and family are back and in despicable me four, the family of six is on the run as they adjust to life with a new baby. see, it's not just us humans. we all have to adjust all minions and some of the kids are finding it harder than others to adjust to their new identities. as you know, brittany, i can't see my name is brittany. that would be a lie. why can't you be more like your sister, edith? oh well, steve carell, who voices gru, stopped by the today show this morning and says he had no idea this movie franchise would become what it is today. the script was great and it was heartwarming. it was funny. it was not condescending to children. there was a little bit of an edge to it, which i think kids liked, and i loved it, but you never know. well, you can

watch steve carell's full interview on the today show at 7 a.m. despicable me four hits theaters july 3rd, and a note nbc. bay area and universal share the same parent company, comcast. well, this morning we want to take a moment to celebrate one of our today in the bay family members. that is a familiar face. chris's daughter izzy is now a high school graduate. we are so thank you guys for her and of course your family. chris, i know you've been out for a couple of weeks now, making sure everything is organized. look at that beautiful family photo. they're all wonderful chris. we're so excited to see what she accomplishes next. congratulations! it just happened so fast. mike. you know this. you know we go from kindergarten graduation to high school graduation just like that. and it's everybody tells you it goes so fast right? you hear it all the time. you hear it all the time. he really does. it does. they're telling the truth. everybody helps along the way. at some point they say it takes a village. but then chris,

you had to entertain the village. all your relatives were here. what a great what a great thing. yeah it was awesome. new york, texas, colorado, southern california all came up to help her celebrate and it was great. it was great. we got, of course, got to show them all the sights and sounds. we went to pier 39. all those sea lions were back and the weather was perfect. all right, well, that's you really can't ask for anything more. i mean, graduation celebration and great weather. yeah, we're going to continue that. and we're also going to have one day with some hot temperatures. but we'll make it through. here's the look live right now in the north bay where we are seeing the low clouds to start out and the heat advisory returns for tomorrow. it's from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and also when we get the hot, dry conditions, we have an elevated fire danger for the inland hills and the valleys. but very quickly it trends cooler for late in the week into the weekend. let's get a look at some of the things that may really irritate your allergies. grass pollen right now is high and we're seeing still a lot of pollen, olive

trees, and weed pollen floating through the air. mold right now is pretty low, but we're trying to enjoy our time outside with all that pollen floating through, and temperatures will be slightly warmer than it was yesterday. headed up to 73 for san francisco. so 78 in oakland, 83 for moraga and 90 in concord and in livermore, in san jose, 85 degrees and mostly upper 80s for the north bay, but ukiah up to 98 degrees when the heat ramps up for the rest of the bay area, it goes up a couple of more degrees for ukiah, clear lake, and vacaville, reaching triple digits, but mostly mid to upper 90s for the tri-valley down to the south county. and then on wednesday, we're already seeing some of these temperatures coming back down as we get a stronger ocean breeze. take a look at morgan hill and what to expect. we're headed up to 95 for tomorrow, but look at the big drop that we'll see on wednesday as we get the return of that onshore wind flow that can really drastically change our temperatures from day to day. and then as you make weekend plans, it is looking

nice, but it will be slightly warmer with some low to mid 80s for the weekend. but we do have the 1 or 2 days depending on your location, with some hot temperatures, and then much better for the rest of the week. san francisco will be in the mid 60s today and low 70s for tomorrow. mike, you found a surprise at the berkeley curve. a pleasant surprise, carrie. look how light the traffic flow is now after chris sanchez's family left the area. a lot lighter traffic in the area. i'm just kidding. there is some slowing actually coming into this area down through university at berkeley, but overall relatively light volume and that we tend to see that as most of the graduations are complete, there are still a few. so congratulations. if you have yet to go through the ceremony north 101 recovering. i think they've cleared this crash at millbrae right by sfo. north one one had a couple lanes blocked for a short period of time. there is a build across the san mateo bridge. looks a little heavier. i'll check on that. back to you. thanks a lot, mike. happening now, we now know the identity of the man shot and killed over the weekend at lake berryessa. officers say 39 year old andres fabian sandoval

garcia died saturday night. the napa county sheriff says a large fight broke out just after 530 at the oak shores day use area, and garcia was shot during the fight. now two other people, including the man who allegedly shot garcia, were stabbed and taken to the hospital. the sheriff says a suspect is in custody and will be booked into jail once he is released from the hospital. it's still unclear what l

welcome back. we are moving you forward with a look at the top stories on today in the bay. we're going to start with those crews in the east bay on the scene of a brush fire in pittsburg. here's a live look as

it stands this morning. it appears to have started in the warehouse for the pittsburg theater company off john henry johnson parkway. that fire started shortly before 5:00 yesterday afternoon and burned at least 55 acres. but because of the heat, it spread quickly and came dangerously close to homes within just a few hours, cal fire and contra costa county firefighters did get it under control. now, this latest fire comes as last week's crystal fire in saint helena burned 60 acres the weekend before crews battled the corral fire near tracey, which burned 14,000 acres. cal fire crews up and down the state, now boosting their staffing to peak levels in response to the growing threat. in a matter of hours, apple kicks off its yearly worldwide developers conference in cupertino. it's a week. long event, and we're expecting to see some big announcements as far as hardware improvements now, possibly something that would see improvements to its siri voice command or maybe something to do with ai. all right. we were talking about those fires and the growing threat. carry a hot day on tap.

yeah so tomorrow is going to be the hotter day. today we're seeing the temperatures coming up a few degrees compared to what we had over the weekend. we reached the peak of those highs for tomorrow afternoon inland. now we're not reaching the high without some problem here at the san mateo bridge on the flat section, there's a disabled vehicle. been there for a while, but now a crew has closed one of the lanes to remove that vehicle. so the arrow shows you just at the base of the high rise. that's where all the slowing occurs. hopefully that will clear in the next 20 minutes. wow. that's a tough picture to see. the today show is just moments away, but we are continuing today in the bay on roku, pluto and other platforms. live at eight. the all new updates made to the shake alert daring raid to free those israeli hostages. >> and the state of the americans still being held. it's june 10th. this is "today." mission accomplished.
