politics. this this kind of stuff seems to happen all the time. right now at six, facing new pressure, the legal and political fallout after fbi agents searched the home of oakland mayor sheng thao and working to cool tensions ahead. we are live in washington with more on the private meeting happening between u.s. and israeli leaders over the war in gaza. plus, today is show your stripes day, the growing movement to help raise awareness about global warming and the state of our climate and crisis. this is today in the bay a good friday morning to you. thanks so

much for starting your friday leading into the weekend with us. i'm marcus washington and i'm kris sanchez. boy, we had an early start with some crashes this morning. things are looking good there. things are looking hot in your department. yes, for first weekend of summer it's going to be a hot one across much of the bay area. absolutely and we're starting out with a few low clouds across the bay area. we are going to have warmer temperatures in some of those spots, like dublin with the hazy sunshine and then the heat advisory kicks in for tomorrow. but it's only one day it starts to come back down on sunday. and of course, with the high heat and the low humidity, there will be an elevated fire danger will have to monitor. now we're looking at a lot of clouds this morning in oakland as you're stepping out the door. it's in the low 50s and we'll see those temperatures quickly warming up as the sky clears. but here we're looking at some nice weather with a high of 77. as you make your way over toward fairfield, it's 93 for today, and you'll also start to feel some warmer temperatures for the

south bay, with morgan hill reaching 91 degrees. so we'll talk about the hottest day that's coming our way. and mike, you're tracking some slower sensors. yeah, i was i was tracking some slower sensors. well, still, i guess, but there's a much less slowing here. westbound 80 has had a great opportunity to recover. remember last hour we had a full closure because of a crash right around willow avenue. there may still be some activity on the shoulder, but all westbound lanes are clear. we still have slowing. as we talked about, the slowest to recover is san pablo avenue because we had just started to see a lot of traffic build up on that major surface street getting off the carquinez bridge. everything's better out of vallejo all the way through hercules, and then just slowing actually coming out of rodeo and pushing down into richmond. not really a major factor anymore for the rest of the bay. shows that friday lighter commute. the south bay never really showed that first slowing for 101. we'll track it back to you all right. thanks, mike. well, this morning we are still waiting for a comment from oakland mayor

sheng thao. this is after federal agents searched her home yesterday. now, this all unfolded as breaking news right here on nbc bay area. yesterday morning, the fbi not yet saying what may have prompted that search or what agents were looking for. but we do know that it was one of four locations where agents executed those search warrants so far, the mayor's office not commenting, instead referring all questions to the fbi. this comes as a recall effort against her takes shape. our mayor has failed us. we are here to demand that she resign. and we will continue our coverage at 630 with live report from today in the bay ginger conejero saab. there are still a lot of unanswered questions about the gunfire that shattered juneteenth celebrations in oakland wednesday night, and we know that there still are no arrests. now, the shooting sent hundreds of people running for cover. police now say at least

15 people were injured and at least one is in critical condition. this all started when a when a sideshow took shape at grant and euclid avenues. that led to fights and then gunfire. witnesses later said the police response was slow. meanwhile, opd said crowds responded violently to the officers who tried to guide people to safety. 603 right now and a private disagreement between close allies is going public. and now there's been a meeting to calm tensions between the u.s. and israel over the war in gaza. today in the bay's alice barr is in washington. alice, this comes right now as we are watching another front heat up in that war. yeah, chris and marcus, we are talking about concerns along israel's border with lebanon, where exchanges of strikes and heated rhetoric have been stepping up, while at the same time, u.s. and israeli officials are working to repair a public rift. did you get assurances on

lebanon in washington, a meeting to lower the temperature between the u.s. and israel, bringing together two top officials from each country, even as the white house postponed a wider strategic meeting while pushing back on israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu's accusation that the u.s. has been withholding weapons and ammunition, the biden administration has publicly acknowledged it paused just one shipment of 2,000 pound bombs out of concern for civilians in densely populated rafah. it's not a bottleneck that's a policy review, other shipments of weapons have been moving regularly to israel. the delayed meeting was set to focus on threats from iran, at a time when iranian backed hezbollah militants and israeli forces have stepped up strikes against each other across israel's northern border with lebanon. we do have concerns about tensions along that border. we continue to encourage a diplomatic solution on the growing risk of

a new front. in the war comes as prime minister netanyahu faces mounting pressure at home, with protesters accusing him of leading a government that chooses their survival over the hostages survival. while some u.s. lawmakers raised concerns about his speech before congress next month, the video he released the other day suggests that he's coming to the united states to pick a fight, not to try to heal wounds. what i care about is israel's security. the u.s. reasserting its ironclad commitment to israel's security while trying to prevent a wider war. and a readout from that meeting with the top u.s. and israeli officials noted that, along with recommitting to israel's defense secretary of state antony blinken pressed for progress and a cease fire deal, getting a lot more aid into gaza, all while preventing any further escalation of the conflict in lebanon. marcus and chris, yes, certainly a lot to

follow with that. all right. alice barr in washington, thank you. alice, it is 606 now. and new numbers show that fewer undocumented immigrants are crossing the southern border during the month of may. there were 9% fewer people crossing compared to april, according to the us customs and border protection. border patrol agents had more than 118,000 encounters with undocumented immigrants crossing the southern border illegally. but the dip in the numbers seen this year can largely be attributed to increased help from mexico in slowing migration, new video shows. the aftermath left behind in mexico, where tropical depression alberto ripped through the area. now that storm made landfall yesterday as a tropical storm, but weakened to a depression throughout the day. at least three people have died due to the extreme weather. meteorologist kari hall has been tracking that storm, and kari i mean, this is one that is moving with no vengeance, with vengeance? yeah, it did produce a lot of rainfall, as we

typically see with even just the tropical storm. it has spread out and is continuing to affect mexico. but we are starting to see that rain winding down for texas as they've gotten some flooding and dealt with issues with the storm surge as well. so we are seeing things quieting down with that system. but noaa is forecasting for the atlantic hurricane season to be very active with a 17 to 25 named storms, well above average. we could see 18 to 13 hurricanes and 4 to 7 major hurricanes. so as we look out there now across the bay area, we're getting started with some low clouds and fog. fairly quiet weather here, and we will see the sky clearing today and temperatures warming up and spots like san rafael. we're going to see temperatures in the mid 70s already at 1:00 this afternoon. so we'll take a look at all of our microclimates and what's coming up in just a few minutes. and also we are also going to be tracking that you may see in your social media

feeds a lot of people talking about our climate in crisis. and you're going to see some stripes of blue as well as red. a lot of people is talking about this to raise awareness on our climate change. and let's talk about that because it's all fueled by carbon pollution. this unprecedented global warming influencing an increase in both the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, including record breaking heat waves, severe storms, extensive drought and destructive wildfires in the u.s. and across the world. climate warming stripes are powerfully illustrating the rise in average temperatures. each stripe on here represents one year, and the blue corresponds to cooler than normal long term temperatures and the red shows years where it was warmer. created by professor ed hawkins, a climate scientist at the university of reading, the global warming stripes is a simple visual representation of

the long term rise in global temperatures due to the human caused climate change since 1850. globally, you can clearly see the warming trend, with the last two decades seeing alarming records for heat for san jose, temperatures have been getting hotter since the 1970s, and as our population grew rapidly, many of the houses were built at that time. and as part of the reason why we don't have a lot of central air conditioning, this underscores the urgent need to turn climate conversations into faster climate action. you can see how climate change is impacting the bay area by going to nbcbayarea.com and clicking on our climate in crisis page. mike's been tracking where we can find some lower gas prices as we approach the weekend. a big concern for folks who might be doing some driving locally, maybe to the cooler coast. we're no longer in the state's best list. unfortunately folks, but our best is still in alameda county. livermore 3.94 at dimond gas and mart on south front road, still under four bucks in

solano county as well. this is vallejo in the middle. this is bond fare 399 has just one shop there on sacramento street. all the other shops in vallejo and in that county are above $4. san jose's best holds just over that $4 mark at 409. that's star gas on hillsdale avenue. check and report here gasbuddy.com on the roadways. we'll check and we'll report a smooth flow of traffic around most of our map right here. no major concerns. we will look ahead to the weekend and warn folks. remember starting tomorrow and sunday, continuing through sunday, bart as well as muni, they have track service going on. so that will be a major impact for bart through oakland. but check both of their websites for adjustments. back to you. thank you. all right. 611 for you this morning. you know, they often say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. and the dogs heading to the ugly dog contest know that very well. here. coming up for you this morning on today in the bay meet those lovable pooches taking part in the north bay event this

weekend. i thought that first one was okay. i'm not quite. what about that one are all right? yeah, we'll see. yeah. all right. so the high cost of hamburgers is sending fast food patrons to better restaurants. we'll take a look at that. let's go out to the futures this morning. last trading day of a shortened trading week. looks like it's going to be kind of a mild start. back in a minute.

we know you care. [music plays] but if this is all too real for you and your loved ones. make the call. because we care too. ♪♪ home instead. to us, it's personal.

as we get a look at what to expect in saratoga today. the clouds quickly rolling out of here. sunshine all throughout the day and temperatures warming up going from the upper 50s to the low 80s for today. it will be a little bit warmer than it has been, and we'll talk about the peak of the heat and where we'll see the hottest temperatures that's coming up in the full microclimate forecast. it is friday, and we had a midweek holiday, so a lot of folks may have taken a lighter workweek. the bay bridge is light right now, but westbound 80 does have traffic being metered. even though the metering lights are not on. i'll explain that coming up. well good morning. very happy friday to you. mixed market. yesterday after the s&p 500 and the nasdaq started the day at all time highs. we get data today on existing home sales shares in trump media. that's g g d j t continue to fall after the company said it would print up more shares to sell the parent

of truth social has lost $2 billion in value this month. this is darden foods, home of the olive garden. its ceo says casual restaurants like his are benefiting from higher prices at fast food restaurants. if you're paying close to restaurant prices at a place like this, a fast food place, why not just go to a restaurant and have somebody bring you the food places like chili's and tgi friday's getting new customers. the united states government says you'll no longer be able to buy antivirus software from kaspersky labs because the government doesn't trust it. it's owned by a british holding company but originates in russia. the antivirus has been banned from us government computers for quite some time now. washington is urging you to replace it on your computer. the software company responds, quote, kaspersky does not engage in activities which threaten u.s. national security and in fact has made significant contributions with its reporting and protection from a variety of

threat actors that targeted us interests and allies. the irs, meantime, says it's rejecting thousands of us businesses trying to get a tax break over business lost during covid. now that tax break law is legit. but the irs says 70% of the claims are not. some businesses the irs says were just created just to take the tax break. it's rejecting billions of dollars in claims. students at johns hopkins have invented a leaf blower that's 40% less noisy than regular electric leaf blowers. so successful black and decker bought their idea. i talked to one of the young engineers for our sunday morning show press here. i think it's an interesting problem because you can't just, you know, put a muffler on the end of a leaf blower because it won't blow any leaves. so it was will make it quiet. it'll make it quiet, but your leaves will still be there.

but yeah. so for us it was a big balance of trying to create a system that reduced the noise, but also allowed the leaf blower to, you know, maintain its normal function more with john's hopkins student engineer madison morrison on press here this sunday morning at nine, right after meet the press. madison, by the way, headed to stanford for her master's degree. so more more smart people coming to california. one of the things they figured out when they were analyzing it is it's not every frequency that bothers people. it tends to be the high pitches. what do you mean by that, exactly that, so they were able to mute that, better. and so they cut most of that and that made most of the difference. yeah. well, maybe they could take on lawnmowers next. and just maybe create one that mows the lawn itself. well, i just need the timing because whatever it is that you're doing, that's very important. that's when somebody's using a leaf blower. yeah. yeah that's true. right. we see that on our morning live shots right. oh yeah. oh yeah. we got the sprinklers the other day too. oh did you, me and daniel. yeah all right well thank you scott. new at six. some major green lights this

week for waymo's robotaxi expansion. onto the peninsula. state regulators yesterday upheld the decision in march to allow waymo to expand into san mateo county. they also approved business operations for section of los angeles. also this week, peninsula state senator dave cortese withdrew his measure to give local entities their own local control over self-driving rules and regulations, as that bill never made it out of the committee phase. but cortese says he's going to try again next year. okay, so sonoma marin fair in petaluma is back. and you know what the search is on for the world's ugliest dog. here's a look at the eight finalists. there we have freddie mercury, ziggy devito, twiggy, mochi, poppy, daisy mae, cadence the second, and rome. so regal. yeah. the contest is meant to bring awareness to adopt dogs. yes, the top three pups will actually spit a $10,000 prize. the winning canine will actually be featured on limited edition mug cans in lieu of the usual

mascot. the winner will be announced today by a guest panel which includes. oh, that looks like cool correspondent gadi schwartz. you know, that was not gotti the one. you know, just in case you don't watch the today show that well, you know how they do when we do our event, they named dogs after us. so that may have been a little gaudy. maybe they'll do this next year. that's not one of the times where you say like, oh, you and your pet start looking alike like banks. i just kind of keep your mouth quiet. oh, that's an interesting dog. yeah yeah. you'll want to keep your dogs inside. cute or ugly? nice weather. we're having. be careful with those paws this weekend on the hot pavement. always a heads up that you don't want to go out walking during the middle of the day in the valleys this weekend. it will be hot out there and the asphalt can be 1520 degrees hotter than the air temperature. so as we're starting out nice and cool this morning, perfect for that walk or enjoying more time out there

to get this friday started. one thing i am concerned about is our air quality. we've had a hazy sky, a little bit more of that smoke coming in from the sites. fire and colusa county that's been putting up massive plumes of smoke, and a lot of it has been concentrated around that area in parts of the north bay. as we go into the afternoon, it's going to look very hazy. and some of that smoke coming in, especially in the east bay. so you do want to limit your time outside, but we're probably doing that anyway because it's going to be hotter there. with fairfield's high temperature today of 93 degrees 91 in concord, livermore and in morgan hill, and we'll see a high of 90 today in santa rosa looking at tomorrow. that's the peak of the heat. all right, 100 degrees in livermore and in fairfield. those are the hottest spots, but we're not far behind with some upper 90s and san martin, as well as morgan hill, low 90s in san jose. but we do have places where you can go and

cool off along the coastline. half moon bay will only be in the low 70s, and we're already starting to cool down on sunday. so the heat advisory in effect for these areas for tomorrow from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m, brentwood is going to see that spike in temperatures, but then quickly coming back to the mid 90s for sunday into early next week. it's still going to be warm, but we're not looking at as much of the heat for the weekend, and san francisco is keeping it nice and mild with mid 70s there as they reach the peak of the warmth tomorrow. mike, you're looking at the bay bridge toll plaza. yeah, we're just starting to see folks waiting now, getting in toward the toll plaza area and some slowing across the span shows up on our sensors. so that's, you know, friday a little bit later, drive highway 37 showed a typical start there. and it held steady out of vallejo. now i talked about traffic being metered, not necessarily at the toll plaza, but it was more over here in westbound 80 through pinole and into richmond, just the bottleneck of traffic that was held back at willow after that crash cleared. it took a while to recover, and now the

bulk of the slowing now pushing down through richmond. it might stick around here as things tend to build as well with folks coming across from the north bay. but again, it shouldn't be anything dramatic, and speeds at their worst are down to 30mph. you saw those sensors. there's a little bit of slowing as well. now, coming off of 238 for southbound 880, and the san mateo bridge picks up the volume just a bit back to you. thank you mike. 622 and next here on today in the bay. nbc bay area responds as thousands of people have had trouble with air travel lately, well, we found a pathway to complain where the airlines are required to respond to you. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. we'll show you where and how nex

consumer investigator chris gomer is going to show us how a how to open a federal case and what you might get out of it. let's look at how it works when you gripe to the government. before you start, collect your thoughts and documents. write up a condensed timeline of events, then add in a narrative that explains where the airline dropped the ball, how it impacted you, and what you expect. now writing down your saga is important because the dot only takes airline complaints in writing, either by mail, with a letter to this address, or online at transportation dot gov slash air consumer. the online form is pretty simple your name, airline, travel dates and so on.

there's a small box to explain the situation limited to 3000 characters and finally submit. so what happens next? government reps will investigate and ask the airline for its take. the dot says it requires airlines to acknowledge consumer complaints within 30 days of receiving them. you can also let our response team know, though the airlines aren't required by law to respond to us. i'm ginger conejero saab we're live outside the home of mayor sheng thao here in oakland. it was a site of an fbi search yesterday. this morning, mounting calls for the mayor's resignation. we'll have more up ahead.tay with us. you' sre

here we are waiting to hear from oakland, sheng thao as she faces growing political pressure. nearly 24 hours after fbi agents searched her home. a live report on the investigation and why we will speak with an expert about the recall push and locked inside the all new warning for ev owners and what you need to know to avoid getting trapped inside of your car. plus a glimpse of space right here on earth. our bob redell is taking us live inside a revamped exhibit at chabot space and science center. you don't want to miss it because you know the kids want to do something this

summer right here today in the bay continues. right now. thanks for joining us on this friday morning. i'm kris sanchez i'm marcus washington. all right. so let's get a look at that forecast for you this morning. meteorologist kari hall is tracking what we're expecting to be the warm up. it's starting today. it's starting today for some of our inland valleys. but there still will be some mild temperatures along the coast and the inner bay. we're not going to see it too hot there just yet. so as we're starting out with the live clear view of walnut creek, let's head over to pittsburgh with a look at our temperature trend for today. going from upper 50s in just two hours, the temperature jumps up ten degrees and then another 10 or 11 degrees. you can see the trend there. we're headed for the mid 90s. definitely hotter than it was yesterday with a high of 91 in morgan hill and 90 today in santa rosa. we'll talk about some events going on this weekend. that's coming up in a few minutes. thank you very much. well, this morning we are

waiting to hear from oakland's mayor, sheng thao. one day after her home was searched by federal fbi agents. it is a story we first brought you as breaking news. now, today in the bay's ginger conejero saab. she's live outside of that home. and ginger, there's now mounting call for her to resign. that's correct. good morning. marcus and kris community members who were originally pushing for the mayor to be recalled, are now calling for her resignation. now, the mayor has not responded to those calls for her resignation. she's also not addressed the fbi search that took place at her home yesterday morning. our crews were here yesterday and throughout the day we have not seen her. but as far as the search is concerned, federal agents were here. they started their search around six yesterday morning and they stayed for several hours. we know there were multiple agencies executing search warrants, including the fbi, the irs and the us postal service. our cameras captured the moments that those agents loaded

cardboard boxes and plastic bins into their vehicles. but what is inside those boxes is unknown. last night, organizers of the mayor's recall gathered outside her home, calling for her resignation. the oakland naacp is also calling on the mayor to step down. law enforcement sources tell us the mayor's home is one of four places where search warrants were executed in oakland, property records show. one property on skyline boulevard belongs to david wong, who is ceo of california waste solutions. it's a local waste management company which holds oakland's recycling contract. now. the family has ties to mayor sheng thao, and both are referenced in a 2020 city ethics complaint alleging campaign finance violations. fbi agents also searched a home on view crest court. that property is shown to belong to andy wong, david's son. it's unclear how the warrants are connected or who is the specific target. now here's our investigative

reporter jaxon van derbeken with more on that 2020 ethics complaint and where that investigation stands. the allegations are that the son of the owner of the family, andy, allegedly was soliciting people to act as donors and he would allegedly reimburse them. and what happened? according to people involved, complained to the ethics commission, and they started an investigation back in 2019. 2020 time frame. however over a number of the players in this have flatly refused and have filed legal challenges to the authority to seize documents and even give statements to the ethics commission. so basically, the investigation had slowed to a crawl. now, again, we do not know if that 2020 ethics complaint has anything to do with this search. these searches we have reached out to the

mayor's office. they have directed inquiries about the search to the fbi in oakland, ginger conejero saab, today in the bay. thank you. ginger so as ginger just mentioned, that recall effort does continue. and joining us now is cal state east bay ethnic studies professor doctor jennifer kim on tran. thank you so much for joining us. so what will a federal investigation like this one now mean for that recall effort in your opinion? good morning. thank you for that question. it's as we continue to have very limited information to go upon. this fbi raid has definitely fueled more questions and mistrust with the current government, given that, mayor sheng thao has not commented on the recent raids in her home and, even more so and more concerning the shootings of, juneteenth a few nights ago. so

you know, we were already hearing about that recall effort. we already know that it was qualified for the november ballot. so now, following this, this search, we are hearing calls for her resignation. what do you think is going to happen next? this this call for the resignation is just coming out of this of brewing chaos resulting from the broken government that we see driven by ego and career politicians. and so this isn't going to wait, even if we find more information . and given that over 40,000 signatures have been collected for the recall of mayor sheng thao. and so as the longer we wait to hear from the administration, then the less attention we will have on the more severe and urgent issues in our cities, around crime, around homelessness and the concerns around budget cuts. and so go ahead. i'm sorry. so this is just one thing that's happening in mayor tao's life. obviously,

you know, she has, you know, the personal response to the search of her home, but she also has city business to conduct. so how long can we wait before hearing from her? this is this is why the organizers for the recall and as you mentioned, the naacp in oakland is calling for resignation because we need to continue to operate. and up until now we have so many distractions. that seems to have no leadership right now from from the mayor to the city council. given that city council has been rated rated by the fbi as well. all right, doctor tran, thank you so much. from cal state east bay. looking lovely out there. thank you so much. we will continue to follow this story. we will get the latest sent right to your phone. if you download our free nbc bay area app. well, a new warning for ev owners. get familiar with your car or get locked out, or maybe even locked in the national

highway traffic safety administration warning that this is happening more often to owners whose batteries die. in some cases, it's becoming downright dangerous. firefighters more conducting those life saving rescues for people who actually become suddenly trapped in cars. experts say that all cars must have a manual door release you can use if you get locked inside of that car, and the trick is knowing where it is and if you get a low battery warning, replace it immediately. tesla is the most common ev on the roads so far. no comment. and this is the time of year where we do, you know, worry that people or pets will be left inside their cars. definitely want to be mindful of that. keri as the temperatures go up. yes, we are going to have some hotter temperatures, but still really nice out there for music on the square in redwood city today starts at 6:00 and we'll be right at a comfortable 73 degrees. might want to bring a jacket or a blanket as those temperatures drop later this evening. and it's also going to

be cooling off at the a's game tonight. we're starting out with some low 70s, but then quickly seeing those numbers down into the lower 50s late this evening. if you're looking for something cool to do, this one inside as well. the soy and tofu festival in san francisco, and this is going to start at 11 a.m. with temperatures in the low 60s. as we go throughout the day, we're only going to see highs in the upper 60s there. and you can meet me on main in downtown martinez tomorrow at 10 a.m. it's in the low 70s. you probably want to get out there early, because if you're waiting until after noon or throughout the day, temperatures are going to be much hotter. we're at 90 at 3:00, and it's also going to be hot at the alameda county fair. if you're out there late in the evening, temperatures cooling off nicely. and of course, there's the live music as well. tomorrow even hotter with a high of 96 degrees. but those temperatures come down if you're going out on sunday with a high of 86. mike you are seeing more of a buildup coming

out of cocoa county. yeah, it's forming now. it was very light much earlier at this shot. the bridge from richmond over to san rafael. the bridge itself moves smoothly on the sensors, you see just the slowing on the approach. what you see more slowing continuing through richmond. starting to condense now at east richmond, el cerrito and then past golden gate fields. then things continue to push in toward berkeley. very little slowing in the early recovery, just a little slower for this section. again, west 80 was closed this morning, but it reopened about an hour ago, looking at a smooth drive for the rest of the bay and no major issues. look at the dublin interchange is clear, just some slowing south. 880 out of san leandro and in toward hayward. but san mateo bridge, the dumbarton bridge and the south bay all move very smoothly. let's head over to bob. yeah i'm bob redell will take you live to the chabot space and science center here in the hills over oakland, where they're celebrating with a new exhibit. the contributions that silicon valley has made to space exploration. stay with us. you're watching today in the bay

plus, the supreme court has more than a dozen important cases. and this is the last day they'll make any announcements. we'll have the very latest coming up

as we get a look at hayward and what to expect this morning, we're in the mid 50s right now and it is mostly cloudy by 9:00.

it's clearing out and we're sunny the rest of the day as temperatures warm up. still pretty comfortable here in parts of the inner bay, but the valleys will be much hotter. we'll take a look at all of our microclimates coming up. look at that. you're looking at hayward and the heat up ahead. and i'm looking from hayward at the sunshine ahead. hmm'hmm sunwest 92 moves very smoothly. the volume only builds on the nimitz as you're coming down through san leandro. but we'll see how things are shifting throughout contra costa county. coming up. although the president, biden and former president donald trump have picked up huge amounts of money in their campaign coffers this week, we have scott mcgrew is here right now and scott trump used to be well behind biden. but now it looks like he's catching up. he's catching up. good morning to you. he's made a lot of progress fundraising off of his felony conviction and as kris points out, both of those windfalls hit the records this week. former candidate for president michael bloomberg gave the future forward pac supporting biden $20 million he donated to the biden effort back

in 2020 as well after dropping out of the race, an heir to the mellon fortune. so that's banking and oil donated $50 million to a pro-trump group, thomas mellon has also donated to robert kennedy jr. a new fox news poll shows pretty much same old, same old. technically, it's got biden and trump swapping places in the poll. mr. biden, now in the lead 50% to 48% among registered voters nationally. but that whole thing is within the margin of error. and the usual reminder we don't elect presidents in a national vote. we do it state by state. former trump right hand man steve bannon asked a court to step in and keep him from going to prison, and the court said no. bannon has to report to federal prison on july 1st for contempt of congress. that judge in the florida case against trump, the one about the secret documents holding a hearing today over a defense complaint that special prosecutor laws are unconstitutional. it's a long shot. and the trump lawyers

didn't complain about a special prosecutor assigned to joe biden. but the hearing will go on. the judge, eileen cannon, has been criticized for slow walking this case. the supreme court, too, criticized for slow walking a claim from president trump that presidents should be immune from prosecution. the new york federal case against trump really rests on this decision from the high court, but the high court hasn't offered a decision on. according to the court's calendar, today's the last day to announce decisions before the end of the term. we assume the trump decision will come today and if it does, critics can absolutely fairly say that the court waited until the very last minute. it also waited until the last minute on 20 other cases as well. another case we're waiting on today. should domestic abusers who have restraining orders against them get their guns back? the case, brought by a man accused of assaulting his partner and threatening to shoot her about

half of murders by gun in the united states are within the same household. other cases that we're waiting on, a decision over a law against interfering with an official proceeding that could affect some january 6th convictions, a decision over access to emergency abortions, whether sleep is a fundamental human right as it pertains to homelessness. and then, of course, the gun case and then the really big one for future presidents, whether in this country where everyone is equal under the law, one person is above it and it doesn't. more other cases today, if the court keeps its current calendar, which at this point seems impossible, though in 1940 the court handed down 17 cases in one day. we get these next round of decisions in less than 15 minutes. i think you can safely expect a special report shortly after seven because chris, there are so many decisions due and it just takes a minute to figure out what they all mean for the rest of us. thank you so much,

scott. so a legendary cal swimmer is literally backing into his third straight olympic games. ryan murphy downright won both the 100 and 200 meter backstroke events at the team usa swim trials in indianapolis yesterday. he also now becomes the first swimmer to win both of those races at three straight us olympic trials. so exciting to watch. nbc bay area will bring you exclusive coverage of the paris olympic games that begins just one month from now, with the opening ceremony on july 26th. well, you know what? this weekend, a new exhibit in the east bay reintroduces us to nasa's accomplishe moments in outer space. today in the bay's bob redell is a kid in a candy store. he is at chabot space and science center in oakland with a sneak peek. this one looks pretty cool. bob you know, for a number of years you could go to visit nasa ames in mountain view, and they had a visitor center so you could see the type of technologies that they were

developing, but that has shut down, but they have since reopened. it will be opening this weekend. here to chabot space and science center, which is collaborating with nasa here in the hills over oakland. and you're going to see things like this, i believe. is this the volatile investigating polar exploration rover, also known as viper? if that's what you're thinking, you are 100% correct. ben burris here with the chabot space science center. hey, good morning to you. yeah, i love the acronyms. me too. nasa acronyms are great. and what will this do? this is a mock up of a rover that's going to be going to the moon. yes so viper is going to the south pole of the moon to look for water and other volatile materials frozen in the bottom of permanently shadowed craters. and it'll be drilling and then analyzing and then sending that information back here. absolutely what do we have right here? this is another the ten sigrity super ball bot. another something that just rolls right off the tongue. right. well, and speaking of rolling, yeah, this is a concept for a rover without wheels. so

it's designed to deform and flop and change shape to bounce, roll and climb over obstacles. okay. and that was developed at nasa ames. but it's a prototype. it hasn't been used yet. or has it a prototype? they haven't used this kind of technology yet in planetary exploration, but we could do a lot where wheels can't. anyone driving up and down 101, you know, nasa ames one for the blimp hangars, but also the large buildings with the vents. and those are the wind tunnels that are still and used today. and people might be surprised at some of the blades are actually made of wood. yeah. in fact, the biggest, the blades and the biggest fans and the biggest wind tunnel, ames are old wood. they were made at a ship making company in england. you know how to build wooden things, right? but they're very strong. there's six fans in the big wind tunnel, and each fan has 15 of these blades. that's amazing. hey, ben, thank you very much. the nasa fest has. it's called to commemorate the opening of the new nasa ames visitor center here at the chabot space and science center.

as this saturday and sunday, you can go to chabot space. org if you want more information here at the chabot space and science center in oakland, bob redell today in the bay. all right. thank you so much, bob. i saw a little piece of the heat shield. and we're going to need one of those this weekend. can i go get some of those or those gigantic fans to help cool things off? you know, that's one of the things we can do to find something air conditioned and also enjoy time with the family. so i love that. and we're also going to have a wide range in temperature. so it's really dependent on where you are. hence our microclimates. we're starting out with some low clouds here. it is all clear in walnut creek. and we've seen that typical marine fog along the coastline. but one other thing we're dealing with is wildfire smoke. and we've had a lot of smoke coming up from colusa county, going down into much of the north bay. and we're also going to see this impact, the way the sky looks. and our air quality as well. if you are

smelling the smoke, you want to limit your time outside and we can see the darker greens here indicating where we could have higher concentrations of that near surface smoke moving through for today and into the evening. temperature wise it's a little bit warmer, so we're kind of staying inside a little bit more anyway because the temperature in los gatos will hit a high of 94 today. we will see a light northwesterly wind. and in morgan hill 91, they're even hotter for antioch with those temperatures topping 94. but if you're in oakland, it's still pretty comfortable. we're going to see a high of 77 and only low to mid 60s along the coastline in redwood city today, up to 79 and 70 in downtown san francisco, 90 in santa rosa. while the coastline will be in the 60s. so the weekend heat ramps up tomorrow. heat advisory in effect for these areas away from the coastline in the inner bay. and that's when our temperatures will spike up to the upper 90s a few triple digits coming down a few degrees

on sunday and upper 80s for much of next week. all san francisco will warm it up to 74 here, and even cooler for sunday with highs in the upper 60s. mike, you're seeing some slowing now in the south bay. yeah. the reason that's the headline, kari, is because it's just started and things were very light up until just five minutes ago. now we see slowing starting back here around tully story, getting up here towards 680 and also up toward oakland road. nothing major, but it is there. we do have a disabled bus that is northbound 17. just as you're passing by highway 85 right near that interchange, there's a gore point where you split off between the lanes and in that area off of the main roadway. there is a bus there. i don't think it's a full bus. there are no passengers reported. we're just tracking that as well. really. things are pretty sparse here on the peninsula. great flow of traffic. it will continue to build, of course, the tri valley and the dublin interchange all moving very nicely here. a little slowing for hayward and your typical spots with light slowing throughout the east bay as well.

back to you. thanks, mike. happening now. state regulators shot down a bid by at&t to get out of its commitment for landline service in california. the company is the state's default landline provider and claimed that there really wasn't enough demand anymore. last month, an advisory judge rejected that plan. yesterday, the cpuc agreed, arguing that households in the bay area with spotty cellular reception would be among those that would suffer. and ahead, a final look at our top stories here on today in the bay, including facing scrutiny, the growing calls for oakland mayor sheng thao to resign this one day after the fbi searched her home and other properties ahead. what we know about that investigation in

it is. 657. welcome back. we are moving you forward with a look at our top stories here on today in the bay. we are still waiting for some sort of comment from oakland mayor sheng thao after the fbi searched her home yesterday, it unfolded as breaking news on nbc bay area. yesterday morning, the fbi is not yet saying what might have prompted that search or what agents were looking for, but we know that sheng thao is property was just one of four locations where agents executed search warrants. so far, the mayor's office is not commenting and is instead referring us back to the fbi. it comes as the recall effort against her takes shape. well, new overnight police are investigating a deadly hit and run in east oakland. it happened around midnight on 105th avenue near june court. police telling a photographer there at the scene that a car struck someone who was walking. that pedestrian died on impact. right now, police are not confirming that information or if they have a vehicle description and some major green light this week,

this is for waymo's robotaxi expansion into the peninsula state regulators yesterday upheld a decision in march to allow waymo to expand into san mateo county. they also approved business operations for a section of los angeles also this week, peninsula state senator dave cortese withdrew his measure to give local entities their own control over self-driving rules and regulations. that bill never made it out of the committee phase. cortese says that he'll try again next year. all right. it's been friday light for the later part of the morning, and a warm up is headed our way. yeah, we're going to have temperatures really spreading out across the bay area. some of our inland valleys today up to 91 degrees even hotter tomorrow and sunday. still pretty warm. but then temperatures coming back to something a little bit more normal for the end of june, while san francisco's keeping it cool here. only 70 today, the warmest temperature will be 74 and 60 as the fog returns throughout the rest of the forecast. yeah, we'll look at

kris talked about friday light. it's a little bit less light here at the richmond side of the bridge towards san rafael, and more slowing for the east shore freeway to be expected, but again, very smooth drive throughout most of the area. contra costa county leaving alameda county. this is the bay bridge and we've actually seen traffic get lighter here. that's great. and we've seen a little bit of fog, but we'll welcome that. i think forecast later on. oh yeah. only we could bottle it for later. today's show is coming up in just a few moments. however, you can always get your local news as we continue today in the bay on roku, pluto and other streaming platforms. live at eight. the growing concerns over a new covid variant, plus an all new way to fly to work. archer aviation's chief growth officer joins us to talk about the company's future. if you thought it was hot, just wait. >> yeah, those brutal temperatures are not over yet. good morning. it's june the 21st.
