this case has been vetted up and down the courts already. right now, at five, guess who's back in court today? lawyers for disgraced theranos founder elizabeth holmes will give a federal judge in san francisco the reasons they believe she didn't get a fair trial. also, growing calls for a cease fire. a live report from washington on the newly us backed resolution for gaza. this, as we get a look at new video of an israeli military raid that rescued four

hostages. plus, we are heating up. we'll show you when and where the heat will peak across the bay area so that you can plan your day. this is today in the bay. a very good morning to you, and thanks so much for starting your day with us. 5:00 right now i'm laura garcia and i'm kris sanchez. i'm in for marcus washington. we want to start right off the bat with that forecast, because we were talking about it being hot even before we started the day. yeah. and i know the weekend was a nice relief. but today we are expected to see a boost into the 90s upper 90s in some spots. and you probably notice even overnight we didn't get much in the way of relief. i mean, if you look at the current temperatures right now, look at san jose. it's about 59 degrees. we have some areas in the 60s, and we are expecting to see a day in the 90s. san jose live look right now in downtown, i want to show you how quickly we're going to warm up. so even though we're at about 59 right

now, if you notice right around your lunch hour, we're talking, you know, 11, 12:00 will already bump up quickly into the 80s. now we're going to be enjoying those clear skies. but remember, whenever we're talking about a warm up, and especially because we're dealing with some high pressure, we're also talking about drying conditions. that lowers that humidity. in addition to that, we're going to get a little boost of onshore winds as well into the afternoon. that mix right there is going to bring elevated fire danger, but also a heat risk index if you notice, especially for areas in the north bay. but of course into the interior where we're going to see some of the warmer spots, we are going to be seeing a heat risk index between anywhere from minor to moderate. now, not as bad as those triple digits that we saw just a week ago. but even so, you definitely want to take your time. i will make sure to talk about that elevated fire danger and the heat advisory coming up in just a few minutes. first, let's check in with mike. all right. hey, we have a car fire to talk about. 580, but it's back here before they join. so this is back over just in. just

at or just outside the tracey border there as we're looking at westbound, i think they just cleared this from the roadway. so we should see some improvement that will blend with the folks off the 205. that means more traffic coming into the altamont pass, but everything is looking pretty standard as far as the distribution of traffic flow. no major issues as we look from the south bay to the city. and over here, we do have a new crash that may be causing an issue. actually, it's not a new crash. i see a new little bit of slowing westbound highway four toward that 680 interchange. i'll get more details on that crash coming up. back to you, chris. all right. thanks, mike. so in just a few hours, the case that captivated silicon valley returns to the spotlight, this time in san francisco. lawyers for disgraced theranos founder elizabeth holmes will face a judge there to request an appeal. today in the bay's ginger conejero saab joins us live. and ginger, legal analyst you talked with says this is a long shot. good morning chris. i am told that this type of appeal is typically not successful, but this can also be the last.

seeking a new trial. and we will be closely monitoring how this all unfolds at the federal courthouse in san francisco later this morning. that is where lawyers for the theranos founder will make the case and seek a new trial, arguing that the judge in the original case erred in several decisions during the 2022 proceedings. holmes is serving her 11 year prison sentence in texas and is not expected in court today. her lawyer will appeal the conviction, the sentence and restitution orders. legal analyst steven clark believes theranos co-founder and holmes, former partner sunny balwani, who was convicted on all counts against him, may have more to work with as far as an appeal goes, i think the balwani team actually has more to work with, particularly when it comes to the conspiracy counts, mr. balwani was found guilty of conspiring with miss holmes, yet she was found not guilty of conspiring with mr. balwani. and

that is an inconsistent verdict. and may be grounds for an appeal . now, balwani is also not expected in court today, but his appeal will also be heard now regardless of what the courts decide on either appeal, clark says the impact of these convictions remains and we will be there to bring you updates both on air and online at nbcbayarea.com .com. chris. hey, thank you so much, ginger. a lot of us will be watching. well, now to new video of a chaotic scene in ucla. that is where multiple people were arrested after police denounced an unlawful assembly on campus. this all following an hours long roving pro-palestinian demonstration. protesters on campus were reciting the names of thousands of people who died in gaza. it remained mostly peaceful, but the situation turned when lapd and private security guards formed a line

confronting demonstrators who stood behind barricades. police ordered the demonstrators to disperse at least twice. no one was hurt. as scenes like that continue to play out, the un security council is adding further momentum to gaza truce talks. it just passed a long sought after resolution endorsing a us backed ceasefire deal. it is a three stage plan aimed at ending the war, returned the hostages and reconstructing gaza in the meantime, us secretary of state antony blinken is in the middle east. this morning, meeting with israeli leaders today in the bay's alice barr joins us live in washington this morning. alice, the secretary spoke just a short time ago. i understand what did he have to say? laura, this is really the most concerted u.s. effort yet. and secretary blinken is really pushing to drive this u.s. backed ceasefire deal over the finish line. it comes at a time that that israeli military raid that freed four hostages, but cost the lives of hundreds of

palestinians risks complicating even further the push for peace. this morning, secretary of state antony blinken in israel meeting with opposition leaders including retired general benny gantz, a key centrist who resigned sunday from israel's war cabinet, gantz accused prime minister benjamin netanyahu of mismanaging the war and failing to set a plan for gaza's postwar future, something the biden administration has been pressing for. we're not going to get to the day after if we don't have plans for the day after, secretary blinken met yesterday with prime minister netanyahu, who has still not publicly backed a ceasefire proposal the u.s. wants, and hamas has not approved. if ceasefire talks fail. nbc news was first to report the u.s. is discussing making a unilateral deal with hamas to release the remaining american hostages, according to

two current and two former senior u.s. officials. all of the hostages, but especially our eight american families who have loved ones in gaza, we are determined to bring them home. the family of american israeli hostage hirsh goldberg, poland backing a separate u.s. deal. whatever it takes to get everybody home, we support it all comes amid new details of the israeli military raid that rescued four hostages yesterday. andre in the middle of a refugee camp. the mission that brought them home to their families, costing the lives of 274 palestinians, including 64 children, according to the hamas run gaza health ministry. and as for the latest on ceasefire talks, the reuters wire service is reporting this morning that a senior hamas official said that the militant group is accepts the un security council ceasefire resolution that you

mentioned and is ready to negotiate over the final details. israel is tricky here because when president biden first announced this plan, he called it an israeli proposal. but prime minister netanyahu has expressed skepticism and has not openly accept the deal remains to be seen. if both sides can finally come together, laura. finally, we will see alice. thank you for the very latest. happening today, advocates in san mateo will call on the county supervisors there to protect a critical lifeline for immigrants. they want supervisors to consider funding for the rapid response network, which provides legal support for immigrants who are arrested by immigration customs enforcement. ice or who are at risk of eviction. but supervisor are set to vote on budget cuts later this month, which could impact that service. advocates will gather this morning ahead of today's meeting to call on the board to leave the rapid response network off the chopping block. also today, two

san jose city council members will call for greater transparency when it comes to hundreds of millions of dollars in recent homelessness funding, a new state audit finds. san jose has not adequately accounted for the spending of $300 million over the past several years. members ben john and arjun batra are calling for a comprehensive audit to ensure the money goes to the proper places. the audit will also call for a new accountability hetty in the city's response to homelessness and exploring options to improve it. it will be proposed at today's council meeting this afternoon. all right, let's take a live look outside our window over san jose and look at that lavender sky matches your dress. well, i asked it mother nature. well, laura, once laura gets and if laura wants heat, laura is going to get heat. vinnie. and that's. we're going to see especially in inland areas. i mean even around the coast, if you look at san francisco right now, we've got a live look. we don't really have that marine layer that we have really enjoyed as far as the cooling effect of it. now, we

are expected to be in the 50s right now, but if you notice right around ten, 11 a.m. for san francisco, we will eventually bump up into the 60s, upper 60s. and yes, we will be reaching the 70s for the city. one of our cooler spots. meanwhile, in areas like the south bay, there it is downtown san jose. we will be warming up into the 70s by the time we get to 10 a.m, and then eventually the 80s, but that is just the beginning. daytime highs today for the south bay will be reaching into the upper 90s. san jose will be at about 92 los gatos 93. and if you notice, morgan hill, we're talking 96. some of our warmest spots will be in through the tri valley. we're going to get a stretch from 80s around oakland in through parts of concord and antioch, with 98 degrees nearing that triple digit mark. we'll talk about that heat advisory and the humidity coming up in a few minutes. first, let's check in with mike and gas prices. yeah you know, we have the best around the bay and nearly the state. livermore again we've got 374 at diamond gas and mart on south front row. there's the

other one we talked about foxy gasoline. both of them actually. same price, same city. another of the state's ten best. yes. two of the three in the top ten. this one's in fremont. 389 at star gas on grimmer boulevard. and then in santa clara, we have our third price, the best on our list. there is 447 at platinum gas on washington street. higher prices right now in the south bay, but thank you for getting all those across the board at gasbuddy.com on the roadway. we're looking at a pretty calm drive. i told you i'd get what chp had to tell us for this crash. westbound highway four at 680, and they say there's a crash westbound highway four at 680. no injuries reported, but no other detail either. we do have another issue. the slowing we saw just starting to crop up westbound 80 around travis. that is causing a lot of slowing around fairfield. i believe we have at least one lane blocked. no major injuries from what i can tell, but i'll track that because that's an early sign for the morning commute. back to you. thank you. mike, it is 512 right now. new technology coming for apple users. coming up next on today in the bay. the way

artificial intelligence is being implemented. also the strong message tesla ceo elon musk is sending his employees about using apple phones at work. plus, a restaurant goes viral with its call for grown up and sexy customers. do you make the cut? oh well, i don't know. when they put on a different outfit. plus, good news and bad news for singles. we are breaking down the worst state to live in. if you are looking for love, don't you want to know where california stacks up and whether you make that sexy cut?

out and about today, especially outside. keep in mind there is a heat advisory in effect for inland areas. we're going to be seeing temperatures climbing into the 90s, and likely even with the heat index into the triple digits. we'll talk more about the timing and the intensity. how long is this heat going to last coming up? oh, we're looking over here to oakland. how long will this last great drive through the nimitz and the area past the coliseum. easy flow of traffic here. no backup at the bay bridge we're seeing some sensors start to change, though. we'll check that distribution in coming up. well good morning. very happy tuesday to you. stock market indices hit new record highs again. shares in silicon valley crowdstrike are up big after that company was added to the s&p 500. that

means a lot of money managers will have to buy crowdstrike as part of their funds. santa clara is nvidia up a bit? about three quarters of a percent in its first day after that ten for one stock split. it is funny to see nvidia's price without a comma in it. the fed will start a two day interest rate meeting today. we don't expect any changes as the latest data we have on the economy says the economy is still strong despite the fed's efforts to slow it down. so no rate cuts today. apple says its folding ai into its iphones and ipads with the next generation of operating systems, with help from open ai. most importantly, siri will be smarter, they say, and better able to help you do what you want to do. i'm hopeful that you can use siri to tap into that personal context and ask, like, father's day is coming up. you could ask, hey, my dad likes to hike. he's this tall. hey help me find some some

suggestions that may fit within my budget. now, elon musk had nothing to do with monday's announcement, but inserted himself into the conversation by saying, if apple incorporates open ai into the actual operating system, apple products will be banned at his facilities. from tesla to spacex to all others, there are good reasons security wise, to be cautious with open ai and its chatgpt. you don't want an intern uploading your company's sales data, even if the resulting answers are good ones, because you don't want that data out there. but apple is very, very good at keeping users secrets the best in silicon valley. the new apple intelligence, as they're calling it, will warn you if it's going to switch from its own internal ai to chatgpt. we're just a couple of days away from the final vote for tesla shareholders to decide whether musk gets that eye popping $56 billion bonus he was promised if he drove tesla stock above a certain point. and he did. but a

court canceled it after deciding tesla's board did not arrive at that decision properly. uc berkeley professor bradford delong wrote in the new york times. the bonus meant musk's motivation was no longer about getting better at making high quality electric vehicles. it became about a stock price that has to go up, doctor delong says. this goes a long way to explain why musk constantly over promises, but under delivers a million self-driving taxis no later than the 20 year 2019 or humanoid robots. but the robot in this demonstration is just a person in a suit. musk is chasing the stock price, he says. not realistic, achievable goals. finally, a restaurant in suburban saint louis is getting a lot of attention on social media because of its age restrictions. the caribbean restaurant called bliss won't admit women under 30 and men under 35 because it wants to maintain what it calls a smart and sexy vibe. and young people, the owners say, aren't ready to bring that vibe. pictures here.

from their facebook page, one of the managers told our nbc affiliate in saint louis. the older crowd can come enjoy themselves and not have to worry about some of the young folks that bring that sort of drama. and yes, that is legal. age discrimination is okay in certain contexts. for instance, giving seniors a discount okay, but not in others, like deciding who to hire. interesting okay, i had to listen to it carefully because i thought you said women under 35 and men older. oh, wait a minute. now that would be no. here's the thing. no women under 30, no men under 35. presumably, men are less mature and the reverse is called a cougar cafe. there's our business idea. okay, well, here we reporting on us soon. we actually have some good news for singles in california. a new study shows dating in the golden state. not as bad when compared to others. engineering service company spokeo conducted a new study of the worst states to be single. here's the list. top five worst florida. arizona

a lot of snowbirds in these states nevada, west virginia, and idaho. california actually comes in at 22. the company based the rankings on data, including number of adults that never married. the unemployment rate, cost of living, and number of health care providers. according to the study, the best state to be single is massachusetts. who knows, maybe get yourself a kennedy. yeah. wow. i wonder i hear what the criteria is. i'd be interested to hear how they evaluate the numbers they give to each of those criteria. so exactly. all right. i'm curious for academic purposes, for an exclusive. exclusive. i think we're yeah. because none of us are singles. so if you're going to go on a date today, you know, margaritas, please drink some water, please. it's going to be so hot. enjoy your margarita, though. it's a good time. all right. let's talk about the current temperatures. we are in the 50s right now. and you probably noticed we didn't get much relief overnight. here's

the reason why we're going to see warm up. but it's going to be for one day that ridging is going to really crank up the temperatures back up into the 90s, nearing the triple digits. and we do have a heat advisory for all of the areas highlighted in orange. you can see here stretching from napa down through vallejo and through livermore, fremont, san jose and morgan hill. those temperatures are going to near the 100, but we're also monitoring that humidity. this is going to be in effect from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. remember the peak of the heat typically happens between 2 and 4:00. so drink lots of water and remember your pets if it's way too hot for your feet or your palms, it's way too hot for their paws. now we are going to be seeing as well. not only that, but we're going to be seeing a boost in those daytime highs. so let's take a look at your daytime highs for today. these are your max highs. we've got 96 degrees in morgan hill. and here are some of our warmer spots into the tri valley. now let's get a check of traffic with mike vanna. just so you know i do put my hand. i actually put my hand on the pavement before i put my dog down so the neighbors think i'm

silly. my dog is grateful over here. we're grateful they've cleared this crash. we still have slowing. but the crash west 80 around travis has cleared, releasing more traffic. here's the cordelia junction, folks. make the split down to both bridges. carquinas and benicia. both that speed the earlier crash also cleared from the grid. but we do have slowing that kicks off early in concord. it may stick around because we also see the build for highway at the bayprises and no backup

a slow network is no network for business. that's why more choose comcast business.

and now, we're introducing ultimate speed for business —our fastest plans yet. we're up to 12 times faster than verizon, at&t, and t-mobile. and existing customers could even get up to triple the speeds... at no additional cost. it's ultimate speed for ultimate business. don't miss out on our fastest speed plans yet! switch to comcast business and get started for $49.99 a month. plus, ask how to get up to an $800 prepaid card. call today!

been more than two months after the francis scott key bridge collapsed. maryland governor wes moore declared the channel has been declared of debris. he added that the work is not over until the francis scott key bridge is rebuilt. it's a process expected to take years. six maintenance workers were killed when a cargo ship lost propulsion and crashed into the bridge back in march. well, when it comes to making in the bay and buying a new home, sometimes it's not an option. so a lot of folks try to make the old look new again. yelp says one bay area city is looking to lead the way with a significant increase in searches for home renovation. we analyzed data to identify the top 25 cities leading in this trend, where searches for home renovations have seen a significant increase year over year in san jose came in as the number two city on that list, with a 926% increase in searches for home renovations. other cities on the list are in north

carolina, south carolina, and there's also san diego. yelp also recently released their summer home and outdoor trends report. it shows that a lot of folks are interested in summer trends and sensory gardens and ambient lighting. just some of the categories getting the most searches. that's interesting. i had a friend say he noticed car sales were down, but carpet sales were up. so people are renovating in the area. so there you have it. well, coming up next, top stories that we're following today, including up for a vote, the hurdles, a highly anticipated panda exhibition in san francisco is facing this morning, and the pushback that proposal is getting. another heat advisory in effect for today. the preparations firefighters are taking to ready for this year's fire season. stay with us.

really happy about that. but there was a sour ending to a family celebration, the car break in, which stole more than a special moment from an east bay graduate. she still had a good attitude. this is today in the bay poor thing. all right. good tuesday morning. i'm kris sanchez and i'm laura garcia. marcos is off this morning. we start with our top story. the scorching temperatures getting ready. they're coming to the bay area. we've got live team coverage. meteorologist vianey arana tracking the warm up for us. but first, today in the bay's bob redell is live in the east bay. bob, you're talking about how crews are preparing for that high fire danger. correct. we are here in livermore. good morning to chris and laura, which doesn't get very hot today. and you'll recall we had a very wet rainy season which produced a lot of vegetation that is now drying out and extremely flammable in these hot temps. as you can see behind me, this just this past

saturday, there was a 44 acre wildfire that burned in this field behind me just north of 580 here at the altamont in livermore, which prompted a quick response from firefighters. this is not far from where the 14 000 acre corral fire burned a week and a half ago, and tracee yesterday, another fire broke out in the east san jose foothills and burned through a garage with a number of cars inside. one person was taken to the hospital and unfortunately, these fire conditions are going to be worse today. the national weather service is vienna is going to talk about has issued a heat advisory for between 11 a.m. this morning and 8 p.m. tonight, with temps expected to hit in the upper 90s here in livermore and other inland areas in the north, south and east bay. right now, cal fire is bringing its staffing up to peak levels and putting more ground and air equipment on standby to be ready for the next wildfire. it's based on whatever incidents that we're having. we've seen quite an increase in fire activity recently, but it's also based on

weather forecast and what what we're looking at going forward. if you live in a so-called wildland interface, cal fire reminds you to make sure you create 100ft of defensible space around your property and time your yard work for the morning. cal fire recommends you use your mowers and weed eaters before 10 a.m. so if those machines were to throw off sparks, it wouldn't be happening during the hottest and driest parts of the day. reporting live here in livermore, bob redell. today in the bay. some good advice there already. so dry out there. our coverage continues today with today in the bay vianey arana. she's actually tracking those hotter temperatures that we're going to expect today. are we going to feel it even in the morning? yeah. i mean we're not really seeing much relief overnight. that takes it over into the early morning hours. we had some 60s. and i want to talk about when we're dealing with fire risks, what we look for so hot weather paired with dry winds versus the timing accelerate the drying time which

then boosts that fire danger. so notice we've got weather topography and the fuels. now the trends show that we've had an earlier start to the fire season, but also sometimes even later into the season. today's regional fire risks. this is what we're looking at when it comes to the fuel moisture content. paired with the warmer temperatures. we look at things like grasses that's going to be higher, probably one of the biggest concerns heading into the afternoon hours is going to be how low the humidity gets. then we're seeing that brush that's elevated trees moderate, larger trees moderate. the regional risk is about average right now a lot higher for areas like the north bay. and here we go with the temperatures. so when we see those temperatures warm up we get that humidity that dries down. when you look at the humidity we're talking about the moisture content levels not only in the air but also in the vegetation. so you might be thinking, oh, but we had such a fantastic water year. you know, just last year we got great amounts of rain. well, here's the thing. now with all of that rain, what we saw is we

got a lot of new greenery, a lot of new plants. with all that rain. it boosted the growth of new plants. and now as we see those begin to dry out, if you're not properly maintaining any of those areas with the higher vegetation, that then creates a possibility for some fuel. so if you look at the forecast highs, we're going to be in the upper 70s, even around the peninsula. we're going to be in the 80s. if you're going to be heading to the city, we're going to be in the 70s and then the north bay. i'm concerned for the north bay because the humidity can fall anywhere from 20% to below 15. and when we're talking humidity, mike, we want to keep it above 30% ideally. so we're going to definitely be monitoring that very closely today. how are the roads doing. it's getting busy already. we are getting more busy on the roadways more traffic flow. and sometimes those sparks or something thrown from the vehicle. so the reminder don't throw anything out of your car. especially not cigaret butts. i know that's old fashioned, but still it happens on the roadways. we're looking at 580 westbound with the volume picking up a bit. not a major concern. so out of the altamont, a smooth flow of traffic just

over on the right side, you see the slowing traditional pattern there. the dublin interchange is just fine. and highway 84 shows a little build heading into the south bay. a quick check of the santa cruz mountains. highway 17 had a disabled a semi truck there. around the curves around laurel curve, it was just cleared. now the speed sensors were slow for just a few minutes . we saw those sensors changing in san jose, so there is a little slowing. just north of this camera heading up toward alum rock. but at six 8280 it's like this nice spacing back to you. thank you so much, mike. happening today, lawyers for disgraced theranos founder elizabeth holmes will be in court in san francisco as she continues to serve her prison sentence in texas. her lawyers are appealing her conviction in federal court. you might remember she was found guilty of defrauding theranos investors. her company at one point was worth $9 billion. she claimed that the blood testing startup could detect anything from cancer to diabetes to pregnancy, with a single drop of blood from a finger prick. both holmes and her former partner, sunny

balwani, will hear the have their appeals heard today in san francisco ahead in our next half hour, our ginger conejero saab will have a live report and more from our legal analysts about what we expect in court today. car break-ins continue to be a problem in oakland, and one of the latest victims is an east bay high school student who is celebrating her graduation at a local restaurant. theresa jaafar was on cloud nine last week walking across the graduation stage, becoming a high school graduate at envision academy. following the ceremony, her family celebrated in oakland restaurant on broadway. and that's when suspects broke into her car, stealing hundreds of dollars worth of gifts and her even her graduation cap and diploma. i was just really upset. i felt like it was like they took this opportunity for me and i kind of felt like they stole my moment. while oakland police say overall crime is trending down in that city, an analysis by our nbc bay area investigative unit of opd's raw

crime data shows the city is averaging 20 car break-ins per day this year. our investigative unit also uncovering inconsistencies over the years when it comes to opd's weekly crime reports and the actual raw crime data. while san francisco mayor london breed's panda proposal is up for a vote today, supervisors are considering breed's $25 million proposal for that new exhibit at the san francisco zoo. the mayor says it will be funded using private funds and donations, but zoological society opposes this, saying that the money could be better spent like toward its $2 million budget deficit. animal activists say this also comes at a time when the zoo is facing severe mismanagement and public safety issues. mayor breed secured a panda lease deal after her trip to china in april. she says the pandas will provide a financial boost for both the zoo and the city. taking a live look outside here we are in the south

bay on this tuesday morning expecting that warm up, you know, heading to the zoo is actually a decent place to cool off sometimes it's a little overcast. they're not too far from the beach. vna is in for kerry this morning. she's got a look. any cool spots out there other than the zoo? well, you know the area is not in orange. won't climb into the 90s, but even so around the coastline. still going to be above average. so the thing we like to show off in the bay area is our microclimates, because you can sort of pick what temperature you want to hang out in throughout the day, even so, we've seen a warm up, you know, trending over the years. but right now we're seeing these areas from napa through vallejo in through antioch, oakland, livermore, fremont, san jose, morgan hill, stretching down through gilroy. we are under a heat advisory now. this is a one day heat advisory. by tomorrow we're going to start to cool off. but i want to kind of point out that we're going to go into effect at 11 a.m. this is going to remain in place through about 8 p.m. those temperatures we're

talking 90s to near triple digits. also, the humidity levels are going to go down significantly 20 to 35. maybe even less than 20, especially for areas in the north bay. that's going to bring elevated fire danger. and as we take a closer look at the heat risk index, you'll notice some areas up through areas like ukiah, clear lake, vacaville, we're talking 100. but if you look down through the south bay, we're going to be in the 90s. even so, just looking at the colors key scale here we're talking minor to moderate. remember just last week we were in that red major to extreme. so not a heat wave. this is a one day warm up before we see a cool down. and i'll go over that in more detail in my extended outlook. first let's check in with mike. keep telling myself one day warm up. one day warm up. all right. over here, temporary backup, i guess. the bay bridge toll plaza. we have your standard build. it just actually, the last five minutes have seen this grow quite a bit. no surprises for the timing or for the location. and you'll see more traffic getting into the

city, perhaps later on, because we have another game at oracle park tonight. 640 game for the giants a distribution pretty standard for the build, slower sensors. but look at highway four and look at the carquinez bridge. there's a little more slowing than we often see in those sensors just starting to change color. so we'll track those areas very closely. and then of course tonight like last night and like the night after tonight, the tomorrow night, we'll have a slow closure. so they'll be half the capacity eastbound 24. one of those bores, the left bore, the one that had the fire last week that's closed for maintenance overnight. they're just going to do normal maintenance. but it's been accelerated by some of i think, the ash and perhaps the soot that they just want to clean out of there. so they're just doing what they need to do a little early over here. the rest of the bay shows a smooth flow of traffic, a little build for north 101 coming through san jose and the san mateo bridge. we're building the volume a bit, but those sensors are still green. as you travel across the bay. 92 looks great, high rise included over toward the peninsula. back to you. looks good. thanks, mike. well, the all new plans to beautify one san francisco neighborhood ahead on today in the bay. the new

renderings revealed now for powell street, and the key funding that could make it a reality. president biden says he worries about a new wave of racism, calling them old ghosts in new garments. politics just ahead, plus the time to get out and play. the new initiative launching worldwide today and why you're being encouraged to do it with your kids. keep it here. you're watching today in the bay

advisory for inland areas. concord is included in that and will be likely one of the warmest spots. here's a closer look at your day planner. anything involving outdoor activities you definitely want to get done before noon. by the time we get to 12:00, we'll be at 86 degrees. daytime highs will start to climb into the 90s. by 2:00, we could reach a high of about 97 degrees for concord areas. now we are expecting to see that heat advisory expire as of tonight. when's the cool down? full forecast coming up? yeah i prefer these numbers and they're a little higher than they used to be. but traffic time, travel time is growing just a tad bit for vasco road. that's not bad for any of these routes. throughout contra costa county, alameda county, here's fremont. the volume starts to build for these headlights into the south bay. we'll show you where those sensors continue to change. coming up. thank you so much, mike. 5:45 right now. and new this morning. undocumented immigrants with spouses who are u.s. citizens could be protected

from deportation under a new plan being considered by the biden administration, two sources tell nbc news. the plan would provide access to work permits. it would also make it easier for some undocumented immigrants to have a path to citizenship, one of the sources says. lawmakers on capitol hill have already been briefed on this proposal, but they stress that this plan has not been finalized. 546 right now, president biden's son, hunter, may learn his fate very soon, in that case over the purchase of a gun. so that case has gone to the jury. scott mcgrew legal experts say they expect that this is going to be a quick deliberation. it probably the case is pretty straightforward. the younger biden, accused of checking a box on a federal form, assuring that he was not a drug user at the time he purchased a handgun. the prosecution, though, brought several witnesses forward witnesses very close to hunter biden saying he indeed was using drugs in had was in the possession of a gun, the defense points out. as far as that form

goes, all people who are in recovery, no matter how short that recovery may be, think of themselves as not using drugs. and the question is vague. indeed many conservative groups have criticized the question, saying it shouldn't be on the form. president biden has stayed out of this case, as it would not be proper for the head of government to comment on a federal prosecution other than to say he loves and supports his son. you're seeing the president at an early juneteenth celebration at the white house now. two years ago, president biden signed the law that made juneteenth the celebration of the end of slavery into a federal holiday. at that celebration, the president spoke about new efforts to remove black history from schools and textbooks. but let's be clear they're all ghosts and new garments trying to take us back. well, there are taking away your freedoms, making it harder for black people to vote or have your vote count it. closing doors of opportunity, attacking

the values of diversity, equity and inclusion. the united nations. meanwhile, the security council approved a resolution calling on hamas to accept a three part peace plan. 14 of the 15 security council members voted in favor, russia abstaining. hamas initially said it viewed this proposal positively when they were first introduced to it several weeks ago. weather. israel's war cabinet approves of it is a murky question. the us says israel approves of it. video here of secretary blinken with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. netanyahu trying to balance his political position, pleasing the right wing of his court and his coalition party in order to stay in power. now, earlier this week, israeli official benny gantz quit his war cabinet, accusing netanyahu of putting his own political position over the future of israel and gaza. and here is a soundbite from secretary blinken once again reinforcing israel's on board. they're just waiting for hamas. i met with prime

minister netanyahu last night, and he reaffirmed his commitment to the proposal. i also had an opportunity to speak to the defense minister, galant and other senior israelis this morning. and i think there is a strong consensus, again, behind moving forward with the proposal . but it really is down to one person at this point. we'll see what comes from them. now we expect to get some major decisions here back home from the us supreme court day after tomorrow. meantime, the justices are back in the news after a woman posing as a catholic conservative secretly recorded audio of the justices at a washington gathering. what some of the justices said weren't scandelous but maybe ill advised. for instance, justice samuel alito here said there were issues in america that can't be compromised on not inaccurate abortion, for instance, has no middle ground. chief justice john roberts, meantime, also secretly recorded. but he demurred on

most of those questions as for the major decisions, we're still waiting on a bunch of them, including the question of presidential immunity, and there are just two days left to schedule them. starting this thursday and then again next thursday. chris, thank you so much, scott. coming up tonight, an nbc news exclusive, legendary singer celine dion is talking to the today show's hoda kotb and opening up for the first time since she was diagnosed with the really rare neurological disorder stiff person syndrome. in this preview, celine dion reflects on the moment she decided to be open and honest with the world about her health, struggles, struggles which would eventually lead to her diagnosis . you said not telling the truth was too much to carry. i could not do this anymore. what do you want me to say? i have a what? we did not know what was going on. i did not take the time. i should have stopped. take the time to figure it out. take the

time as well. like it's not enough. my husband as well was fighting for his own life. for a special extended preview of hoda exclusive interview with celine dion, tune in to the today show at seven this morning and then there's an hour long prime time special airing tonight at ten, right here on nbc bay area. it is 551 right now. new this morning, one of san francisco's most iconic neighborhoods is getting reimagined. the design aims to revamp and upgrade a three block stretch of where powell meets market, in hopes of luring people to visit and live there. the main vision is to create a bustling public space filled with storefronts. the price tag is estimated to be between 20 and $30 million. maryland and breed is expressing support for the project, proposing new funding and a bond measure. we're expected to learn more about that project during an open house that's coming up tomorrow. time to get out there

and play. grab the kids and celebrate a big first. the united nations is dubbing today the inaugural international day of play. it is aimed at raising awareness on the importance of giving kids the opportunity to just play and minimize what is known as the play gap. here in the bay area, many schools incorporate play in every day curriculum, but as one bay area author and early childhood educator tells us, when a play gap exists, it can have far reaching consequences. really, it refers to the fact that so many children throughout the world are not getting enough time to play, and if they don't get enough time to play, then we know that that's going to delay development in all areas. and so this play gap is something to be really conscientious about. yeah, they're so structured. experts say play enhances cognitive, intellectual and social emotional development. it is known to promote attachment with caregivers and start healthy relationships. also enhance positive parenting. there's a lot of emphasis, in

early education to make sure children are you know, academically ready to go on to kindergarten. yet we believe very strongly at our school that the social emotional foundation is what we're building first. then we layer pre academics and then academics. so i think just everybody throughout the world valuing the fact that children need to be allowed to play. yeah. there is no set time for a good amount of play. experts suggest that one of the most important things parents can do is engage in play with their kids. i remember those days. i know play daddy want to play. you know, you're on the thick of it and you're like, oh my gosh, park, you're about ready to fall asleep. but then you realize it goes so fast and those moments are so precious. so and also with the kindergarten thing, they're talking about academic preparation for kindergarten. and so i mean, like, i think the interpersonal is a lot more important, at least in the classroom. absolutely. yeah. you can know you can know how to read and not know how to make a friend. i mean that's yeah, not success. well, you better know to get out there early though,

if you're going to go out. yeah bring a water bottle or let's combine both elements. maybe it would be a good time to visit, you know, discovery kids museum california academy of sciences. they have indoor and outdoor play for kids involving everything literally under the sun and the sun itself. now i do think that walnut creek is going to be one of our warmer spots for today, but i want to show you how beautiful the skyline looks right now. now we have seen already a couple of brushfires, you know, over the past two weeks. so we are mentioning, of course, the focus of the elevated fire danger due to these elevated dangers, but also just how dry it's going to be today. we've got a heat advisory in effect from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. for all of the highlighted areas extending from napa all the way down through gilroy, the south bay 90 to near 100. and let's take a closer look at the forecasted highs for today. so i want to show you san jose 92, morgan hill 96. gilroy 95. taking it in through the tri-valley in the east bay. oakland 80 degrees. martinez 91, concord 97, walnut creek 96. and around the peninsula in the city

san mateo 83. the city will be in the 70s for today up through parts of the north bay. we're going to be in the 90s and expect to see some temperatures bumping up with that fire danger index. because of that low humidity. now we're going to be dipping down below that 30% mark. this is at around 3:00. so if you notice we're talking 20% for areas like concord but also clear lake. look at this 15. so i think the north bay is going to have somewhere between a moderate risk in through the afternoon for dangerous heat and also fire risks, the regional fire risk. we're talking fuel moisture content paired with the weather. if you have any of these around your home, in your backyard, we're talking grasses, brush trees. we're looking at a moderate to high, especially for grasses. might be a good idea to start trimming back on those. that's going to be a key component. i want to give you something to look forward to. we're hot today. but look what happens on june 18th. rain chances for june. we get a system that's already

developing. now keep in mind this is an extended outlook. we're going to be approaching the coastline right now. it's not going to be a major storm, but it will be enough to bring the possibility of some rain for summer. now we're going to be seeing santa rosa right now, going to be warm, but eventually we're going to get a cooling effect. so i just kind of wanted to give you an extended outlook quite literally. now that could change. of course, we're still pretty far out, but here's a closer look at your 7-day forecast. today. we're going to be the 70s for san francisco. then we dip back down into the 60s and then inland areas. we've got a one day event of upper 90s. and then look what happens by tomorrow. 86. so still warm, but nowhere near that triple digit mark, which will be a nice shift in the forecast. mike, how are those roads? yeah, roads are looking great. the only slowing we have in the south bay actually losing intensity right on schedule. we should see about another 45 minutes until we see that same area start to build again. for the rest of the morning commute we had slowing here into union city. it's kind of cleared up, but i think folks are actually kind of starting to slow and jam up at the castro valley. why? nothing dramatic and nothing for the tri valley

interchange here. the dublin interchange moves very smoothly out of walnut creek and into walnut creek. just a little bit of build. these sensors are holding steady at the carquinez bridge and highway four, moving over toward the eastshore freeway. but everything does move well back to you. thanks, mike. happening now, if you are looking to raise a family in the bay area, you might want to consider living in fremont. it was topped wallethub survey of the best place in the country to raise a family. the website took into consideration cost of living, public schools and crime, as well as air and water quality. san jose ranked seventh overall.an francisco came s

racing for some heat. some spots could reach into the upper 90s today, so we are tracking how long the conditions will linger. plus, a stabbing attack in china for american college instructors injured. new details about the frightening incident playing out overnight. this is a legal long shot for elizabeth holmes and her team. the lawyers for disgraced theranos founder elizabeth holmes head to the federal courthouse in san
