much harder than i ever imagined, and i'm just so thankful that we finally made it a night of celebration and sorrow at the olympic trials. mark barger, nbc news. now, nbc bay area will bring you exclusive coverage of the paris olympic games, and it begins with opening ceremony on july 26th. right now at six. could the roadblock finally be lifted after many attempts, and east bay city is expected to vote on a new sideshow crackdown, the penalties participants could face soon also, a whirlwind of emotions. i mean, i'm just, elated. it can't feels like it's not real. wikileaks founder julian assange is released after spending years in a british prison. the deal he just made and what comes next for him, halted the all new speed bump in president biden's student loan

relief plan and the direction impact it's having on borrowers. this is today in the bay good tuesday morning. thanks for starting your morning with us. i'm marcus washington and i'm ginger conejero saab laura garcia is off this morning. we're going to get a look at the roads with mike in just a bit. but first we're going to start out with the weather because things look like they're changing. yes. it's been very interesting here seeing the rain even some lightning strikes the high humidity and yes still the heat. we're going to see a mixed bag of it all for today as we're getting that wave of some mid-level moisture coming into the bay area with some spotty showers. as you're getting up and heading out. now, a lot of green here on the radar, but some of it is evaporating before hitting the ground, and we're watching out for the possibility that some of this could produce some thunderstorms. we can see the streaks there coming from this live camera looking at walnut creek, very colorful sky,

but also some of that virga, that dry lightning and the possibility of some of these thunderstorms moving through will be watching out for that for today. mike, you are looking at a hazard on the san mateo bridge. in fact, now we have two hazards right by where the arrow is. we had the original vehicle that we're following. i believe it's a tesla. they're judging by the shape of it. it's been over on the side in the service area. then there was another box truck that pulled over and stood there. it's out there for five minutes. i guess it's gone now. not helping the tesla, but we are having this reported by chp. i believe that is the report. everything moves smoothly. there is a general build around the rest of the bay. we'll sort that out coming up. thanks, mike. well just into our newsroom, san francisco police are not yet confirming a report recently posted to citizen app. this is along with this video. it suggests that there has been an early morning shooting in the tenderloin. now, the person who posted that video says that it happened along ellis street. and the poster also suggests that we

there were at least two victims here. now we have reached out to police and we are waiting to get more information. well, illegal sideshows, they are becoming a serious issue across the bay area. and today one east bay city is looking to put an end to the wild activity today in the bay's bob redell joins us live from outside antioch city hall. and bob, leaders there are considering a new ordinance. they are. good morning to you, ginger and marcus. have you been following the story to the city of antioch? actually has been considering a new ordinance prohibiting illegal sideshows here in the city since 2022. but for various reasons, the city council mayor have not been able to come to an agreement. they might tonight, though, when a city council meets at city hall behind me at 7:00 to decide on this ordinance. now, like many cities in the bay area antioch has struggled to shut down this dangerous, illegal activity that usually shuts down intersections while drivers burn rubber and spin their cars at high speeds.

this is video of a large sideshow that took place here in antioch, at the intersection of laurel road and kenyatta valley. this was just after the new year . the antioch boat launch has also been another popular destination for sideshows in the city. but earlier this year, the city added concrete barriers to prevent cars from entering that area from an adjacent parking lot. so tonight, the city council will consider two versions of a new ordinance, one that prohibits organizers and advertising of sideshows. the second version not only would go after the participants, but also the spectators and anyone watching within 200ft of the sideshow or street race. if approved, this ordinance would add more muscle to the state law, which already prohibits sideshow activity. this was the scene this weekend on the bay bridge, where a sideshow shut down the eastbound span for about 30 minutes saturday night. the chp says its helicopter flew over the crowd, and when they did that, people on the bridge pointed lasers at the pilots, which is obviously very dangerous. chp did arrest a number of people on the bridge for alleged crimes, including

dui, reckless driving and vehicle theft. reporting live here outside the antioch city hall, bob redell today in the bay. i hope we start to find solutions to address this problem. thank you. bob. now, two federal court judges are blocking president biden's new student debt relief plan judges from missouri and kansas. they halted parts of the plan. and it comes after several states filed a joint lawsuit against the biden administration, saying it overstepped its authority when implementing the save income driven repayment plan. now, the biden administration cannot cancel any more student debt or make any provision to the plan until the cases are fully litigated. to date, $5 billion in student loan debt has been canceled through the save program. well, new overnight, the man behind one of the biggest leaks of american military secrets is being released from prison today in the bay's alice barr joining us live from washington with more on that deal of freeing

wikileaks founder julian assange. alice marcus, you probably remember this name. assange is on his way back right now to his home country, australia, after having served five years in a uk prison. and you will recall that he founded wikileaks back in 2006. four years later, the website released half a million secret documents ranging from u.s. military reports to confidential information on the wars in iraq and afghanistan. u.s. leaders issued an international arrest warrant for assange, and he was arrested in the u.k. in 2019. he spent the last five years in a london prison, a high security prison, working to avoid extradition to america. throughout the saga, assange has remained a controversial figure. julian assange did the wrong thing. julian assange hurt the united states government. he put the lives of our troops in danger. he put the lives, particularly of iraqi citizens who had helped our, our effort in the war in iraq in danger.

the x account for wikileaks posted this video of assange boarding a plane yesterday in london. he has reached a deal with the u.s. justice department to avoid more jail time. part of the deal means he will attend a hearing in a u.s. federal court on u.s. controlled islands north of guam. he is expected to plead guilty to one charge under the espionage act, experts say he'll be handed a 62 month sentence that corresponds to time he already served there in that u.k. prison. it means he will be able to walk free and a national security spokesperson said that this deal was brokered by the department of justice and that the white house was not involved. marcus. all right. alice barr in washington, thanks for that update. well, new this morning, a surprise announcement by the u.s. surgeon general. he's declaring gun violence a public health crisis. doctor vivek murthy cites the rise in

deaths due to firearms and the growth in the number of mass shootings over the past decade. he also notes the impact on the larger population. this is the first time a surgeon general has made this kind of declaration. now the goal here is to raise awareness and generate new congressional proposals to address the crisis. well, a massive rainbow flag is going up all to kick off pride weekend, illuminate is a nonprofit. this is behind the bay bridge lights, and it's hosting a summer of awe laser series, which includes a massive four mile rainbow flag. the lasers turn on this friday on market street. this is for the summer of all kickoff. the lighting ceremony will include live music, a renewal of vows for some couples, mayor london breed and governor gavin newsom are set to speak at this event, and we know many of you already looking ahead how pride weekend is shaping up for you. the latest on that, we're going to turn to meteorologist kari hall because folks want to know what

do i wear? it's going to be a beautiful weekend. we have some nice and still cool weather that will continue over the next few days. friday. we're in the upper 60s, in the mid 60s for saturday and in time for the parade. even though it's going to be cool in the morning as we go through the afternoon, it's going to warm up into the low 70s. so a lot of sunshine and also it's going to be a nice one over the next few days. we're starting out with some low clouds and fog over the golden gate bridge and seeing it quickly clearing out, but that's going to keep those temperatures a lot lower there along the coastline. we're still watching out for that chance of those thunderstorms and possibly some lightning increasing our fire danger for today. overall, it's going to be a humid and hot day for the inland valleys with a cooling trend as we go through the week, so we'll talk more about all of this in the forecast coming up. mike's been using gasbuddy to find some lower gas prices. everybody's buddy. you're all my buddy as well because you've been reporting these. and so we'll

report the best in cupertino to start for 15 at great gas on north de anza boulevard. we have the north bay with the same price. this is at vallejo's valero, also for 15 for the low sacramento street. their location the lowest in solano county. now we'll go up a few cents in contra costa county. we'll look at pleasant hill. best there is for 19 at arco. it's on pleasant hill road. but this is again, as kerry talked about, all reported through gasbuddy .com by you and by me, by all of us. and we can share those prices as we pass by and see those on the billboards. as we look at the roadways, we're looking at mostly green sensors and green highlighting, indicating some light rain around the areas as well. so just keep that in mind as you drive around. no surprises as far as most of the distribution for the slowing slowing down the east shore freeway now and the bay bridge toll plaza just filled in. scott. it took a little while, but it's still there. we know it's going to be there over. you all right, mike? well, coming up on today in the bay, where is the most expensive place in the united states to

live? also out to the futures this morning. let's see what the markets are going to plan. looks like we're going to do okay. on at least on the nasdaq and the s&p 500 marcus ready or not here i come. you can't hide. oh yes this is it. the fugees making a return. the newly announced tour date. and when you can snag some of those tickets to their highly anticipated performance. where else but one of the richest places to live? yeah, yeah, but first, a reminder. the first presidential debate between president joe biden and former president donald trump is just two days away. and here's a look at where the debate is taking place this thursday in atlanta, cnn anchors jake tapper and dana bash will moderate now join nbc news for special coverage and analysis beginning thursday at 6 p.m. pacific time. that's right here on nbc bay area. we'll

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.

all clear and we'll see a mix of sun and clouds. you're probably already noticing that it feels very humid out there, and that's going to add to the heat that you're feeling as we go into the afternoon. as our temperatures head for the mid 80s, watching out for a chance of some isolated thunderstorms. we'll talk more about that coming up in a few minutes. and we're looking at 880, traveling from the left side to the right side

or down the screen is southbound 880. there's the build there. no major slowing into silicon valley, but the volume starts to increase in many of our usual spots. seen some slowing over in contra costa county. we'll point that out coming up. well, good morning. very happy tuesday to you. shares in nvidia fell again. they are in a technical correction down 10% from their all time highs. now nvidia has been the darling of the stock market for years at one point last week becoming the most valuable publicly traded company in the world. now with the santa clara company down three straight days, it's lost about $500 billion in value. as one guy on the radio was pointing out on my way in. that's like the entire company exxon just disappearing 500 billion. another recall for cybertruck, this time to fix two problems a windshield wiper that doesn't work properly, and loose trim in the truck bed that could detach. tesla has had to recall cybertrucks before because of an

accelerator pedal that was improperly installed that could get stuck. about 11,000 cybertrucks are affected by this new recall. the astronauts flying the boeing starliner were supposed to return to earth tomorrow, but nasa has once again delayed their return over concerns about the spacecraft. the physical capsule is fine, but the service module attached to it has trouble with its thrusters and a helium leak. now they're going to jettison that in space on the way back. so the delay is less about safety and more about getting time to examine the problems on the service module back here on earth. san jose, the least affordable place to live in the entire united states. this, according to chapman university study, four of the top ten are in california, la, san francisco in that top ten of least affordable. as for who's more expensive than san jose? worldwide, it's hong kong at the top, followed by sydney, australia, vancouver, then

silicon valley and los angeles. now pittsburgh. the one in pennsylvania topped the list of most affordable regionally, the most affordable regions are the midwest and the mountain west, and paramount, the latest streaming service to price is up to $13 a month. this takes effect in august, and peacock discovery max have all raised their prices recently, as well as we were talking earlier, i need to get a handle on what i do have. you know the icons are on there. i and what i do have and what i haven't watched lately. is there anything in there i need to watch? you know, i need a whole weekend of tv. that's what i need to do and start canceling stuff. well, we're going to. there's also that other subscription story you might have to make some way for the subscription. ice cream. yes. yes, absolutely. all right. all right. thanks guys. you bet. all right, well, let's move over to the east bay. a hilton hotel by the oakland airport is closing. this is just one of the recent closures in the area.

hilton hotel, if you'll remember, is on a hegenberger road between the oakland airport and i-880. representatives say the hospitality business has taken a hit since the pandemic. no surprise there, but it did not give a specific reason for this closure. it will officially close on august 28th. the hegenberger corridor notoriously known for crime. now you might recall the nearby in and out closed its doors a few months ago because of crime. denny's and black bear diner have also closed. well south bay, get ready. yeah. trending for you this morning. miss lauryn hill and the fugees are back on tour. killing me soft lee with his song killing me softly with his song now this is all for a co-headlining extension of the miseducation anniversary tour. it includes special appearance

by, yg marley. this is hill's son. he'll actually postponed her tour back in november due to vocal issues. they were actually playing at mountain view amphitheater on september 13th. city cards card members. they will actually get a chance to buy those tickets through the presale, which is today at 10 a.m. while general sales began friday morning, i know some people that went to that concert before and they said, it's really good. i mean, i just i love that album. that makes me that takes me back to, to the good middle school, i don't know, was that middle school? maybe. maybe that's what you were. yeah yes. we were all in middle school. yes i was not listening to it on my car stereo at all. just in my room. yeah. trying to be, like, ready or not. okay. anyways okay. going back, rain or shine. we've got plenty to dance to. we've got a

lot of rain and shine in our forecast for today. a little bit of everything starting out with this wave of some subtropical moisture moving into the middle levels of our atmosphere. so that's producing a lot of green here, but not a lot of measurable rain. even though some of us have seen those spotty showers coming through, it may rain for a couple of minutes, and then it's out of there, and it's really not enough to really help moisten everything up. the vegetation. so we're just seeing the very humid and also some spotty rain coming through. but one thing i'm watching for with this is the potential of dry lightning. so what is that? well, typically in a cell where we have some rain here in the clouds, it comes all the way to the ground. if the air is humid enough. but what we see sometimes is a layer of dry air right up under that rain. and a lot of it evaporates before hitting the ground. so some of us saw that rain yesterday into this morning and

it's been very spotty. we can already see it here as we take a look at the walnut creek camera. that's what it looks like. that's what virga looks like. and so far we haven't seen a lot of lightning strikes, which is great news. but there's still that possible as we go throughout today, if we do get lightning and it hits some dry vegetation, that could start some new fires. so this is very concerning. and it's still going to be very warm today and add in the humidity. so it's going to feel warmer than it did yesterday. even though the temperatures are about the same with some 60s near the coastline as well as upper 60s in san francisco, anywhere from 60s in the north bay, from bodega bay to 95 in ukiah. for this afternoon, our 7-day forecast shows that once this humidity drops and we get rid of that chance of the thunderstorms, we're looking great the rest of the week and into the weekend. mike, you're looking at a build up coming out of the east bay. yeah, no surprise it's the bay bridge to start with. we do have the backup filling all lanes and

showing you the hov lanes. that's your advantage. of course. 80 overcrossing not a big deal. in fact, it's just finished filling in over here past our screen. we did have a disabled vehicle early, but that cleared up without any additional issues and without any crashes. that's great news as we're looking at the richmond bridge, more slowing out of contra costa county. and that's where the build really is there. that green highlights maybe some damp roadways. so keep that in mind in many patches around the bay. back to you. all right. thanks mike. well, we all know county fairs are typically about rides, fun and delicious fried food, but our climate in crisis is being highlighted a head on today in the bay, meteorologist cory hall shows us the vital natural resource that's taking center stage. and as we head to break, a reminder to tune in to nbc bay area tomorrow as the giants battle the cubs at oracle park, you can watch that action at 6:30 p.m. right here on nbc bay area.

(♪♪)

burned more than 1200 acres in sonoma county. that fire started nine days ago, destroying three structures and damaged two others. the cause is still not known. from fire to water. meteorologist kari hall has a look at this morning's climate and crisis. now marcus, it's great that they put out that fire because the marin county fair kicks off next week with the theme this year is to make a splash, focusing on our most important resource, water.

county leaders say they picked the theme based on what will resonate with the community, beyond just hot dogs and cotton candy, and last year's theme about renewable energy and electrification, water is a critical topic in the bay area. whether you're talking about sea level rise or water bills or droughts or floods, marin county leaders say this year's theme and the exhibits will inspire those fair goers. we are partnering with marin municipal water district and north marin municipal water district, and they are bringing in one of their model homes, where basically it's an interactive educational experience that people can walk through this model home and not only learn about how the water comes from mount tam or the reservoir and goes all the way through to their tap, but they can also learn about ways to conserve water. the fair runs from july 3rd through the seventh with fireworks and free concerts.

county leaders say they are already planning ahead to next year's climate related theme. and for more stories like these, visit us on our website nbcbayarea.com and click on the climate in crisis tab. thank you carey. now we've got a lot more ahead at 630, including a big day for an ambitious plan to bring a new city to life in the bay area ahead on today in the bay, the big decision before solano county supervisors as 17,000 acres of land hangs in the balance and declining enrollment could mean fewer schools in san francisco. and tonight, we'll learn what the criteria are that will be based, that they'll use in that making that decision. i'll tell

tracking thunderstorms. a live look in walnut creek as we are monitoring the chance for lightning to strike in the bay area. meteorologist kari hall is timing it all out in our forecast. bracing for potential school closures. the key meeting happening today as the san francisco unified school district prepares to make cuts in its future budget. the impact it will have on students and staff, plus. i'm seeking the truth right now just as much as you all are. but i will not be bullied, and i will not be disparaged and i will not be threatened out of this office.

after days of silence, oakland mayor sheng thao is speaking out following the fbi search of her home. what she is now saying about the turn of events that has her under the microscope, and the reason she says she's the victim today, or this is rather today in the bay area. and good morning. on this tuesday morning, i'm ginger conejero saab. laura garcia is off, and i'm marcus washington. let's get a look at that forecast for you. this morning. we've got a lot to talk about. meteorologist kari hall has a look at the sunshine, the rain and so much more. yeah. you know, people were saying, am i in miami? what's happening here with the rain, that thunderstorms, the humidity and of course, the heat. and we're seeing this mixed bag of weather as a wave of some moisture moves into the mid levels of our atmosphere. it looks very busy there on the radar, but a lot of that rain is evaporating before it has a chance to hit the ground. but some of us are still

able to see some of those spotty showers moving through, and it is definitely a warmer start across the bay area and will be a humid day as we track that chance of those thunderstorms. so we'll get a look at our hour by hour forecast coming up in a few minutes. thanks a lot, kari. well, in just a few hours, san francisco unified will discuss the future of its schools, and in the coming years, there could be fewer schools altogether. today in the bay's kris sanchez joins us with the emotional conversation that's expected as the district looks to make cuts. well, you know what it's like to be part of a school community and how devastating it is when you have to change. so a lot of districts are facing the same issues, declining enrollment and fewer students, of course, mean fewer dollars to keep schools open. so let's start there with the conversation out of san francisco unified. they have 4000 fewer students since the 2017 2018 school year, and sfusd projects. it will have 4300 fewer students by the year 2032. and that's the reason for what the district calls its resource alignment initiative. today the

superintendent will update the board and public on the community conversations that they've had, and they'll discuss the criteria for determining which schools are most viable, and they will weigh each criteria and how important each of those criteria should be. here's what they will consider under the equity category. access to schools and programs and the historical challenges of each school. they will also consider academic performance. each school's culture and climate, and the students socio emotional development. and schools will also be graded on how well they use the resources that they get and how many families choose to send their children to those schools. how many satisfied teachers they have there, meaning low teacher turnover. a third party will weigh all of these criteria and determine what the rank should be, and then they will present that later on. but this is just part of an ongoing conversation. look, another challenge they're facing. i know the school district, san francisco unified already faced the budget challenges there. right. so they

are facing about a $148 million deficit. so there are going to be some cuts coming in that, you know, regard as well. but they also had a problem with their payroll system, which left teachers and staff in a lurch, because when you don't get your paycheck on time, you know, it's a whole cascading effect. so a lot of challenges for san francisco unified. but again, we could see those emotional conversations about fewer schools, i'll remind you, school board meetings, they are public. those are your elected officials. and they are open to everyone. a conversation that people should participate in. absolutely. before it's too late. before it's too late. great points. thanks, chris. well, from san francisco, let's move over to oakland. a stunning development hours after oakland mayor sheng thao broke her silence, her lawyer announces that he is withdrawing from her case. her now former lawyer, tony brass, has not released his reason for withdrawing, keeping his announcement brief, saying that he is no longer representing the mayor. this is the latest development after fbi

agents searched the mayor's home and three other oakland locations last thursday. the mayor maintains her innocence, saying she has done nothing wrong. now, in a statement, the mayor says, quote, i appreciate tony brass for providing me with initial legal guidance. he helped me better understand the investigation and my legal options. over the weekend, i obtained new legal counsel and thanked mr. brass for his counsel. i will share the name of my new counsel once agreements are finalized. and now, as far as the fbi search is concerned, we spoke with a former federal prosecutor and criminal justice lecturer at san jose state university who says it's still unclear what crimes were committed in this case. sometimes there's a sense that evidence may be destroyed, and so therefore it's urgent that then, a search warrant be sought with the approval of the magistrate judge establishing probable cause. and i want to be crystal clear. i have done nothing wrong. i can tell you

with confidence that this investigation is not about me. now, as far as the next steps in the case are concerned, singh believes it could be a while before we get details on the full scope of the investigation. well, a very contagious disease is infecting more people in the south bay. the shigella outbreak is getting worse now. last week, santa clara county officials confirming there that there have been three people contracted the disease and that number has risen to nine confirmed cases, with another 21 people suspected. some of those cases are happening along encampments on the guadalupe guadalupe river. this is by highway 89. officials are reminding people do not swim in that river, nor should you drink the water there. also, it is important to watch out for a few symptoms. some of the symptoms are nausea, vomiting, watery diarrhea. but probably the most alarming

symptom that might bring somebody to the hospital, is bloody diarrhea. now, the county is providing clean water and hygiene kits to people living in the encampments along the river. happening today, what may be a big day in the effort to build a new city from scratch in solano county, supervisors are expected to hear from the registrar of voters about the likely fall ballot measure. the petition has already qualified with enough signatures. now the group california forever wants voters to weigh their plan to build on land near travis air force base. the measure would rezone more than 17,000 acres to allow for a development group, leaders yesterday announced a new partnership to boost health care, as well in solano county. now make sure to watch today in the bay streaming newscast at eight. we're actually going to talk one on one with the group's founder and ceo. you can learn more about that city that they're trying to build. again, that's our streaming newscast, which you can watch on roku,

pluto and other streaming platforms. you can also check it out online at nbcbayarea.com or from the app. we'll check this out. ginger. look at this a beautiful shot there. this is foster city. this looks like a picture. my goodness. well the area is nothing but picturesque. come on. that's true. that's true. meteorologist kari hall has a look at what we can expect in all these picturesque places across the bay area. i mean, beautiful start to the day, kari. yeah, it's it is a nice start. and it's also humid as you're heading out for your walk this morning before going to work. it's going to be nice and sunny. no need for a jacket already as we're starting out with low 60s here, and we'll stay in the 60s through noon and eventually make it into the low 70s in foster city. but there still will be our microclimates in full effect, a wide range in temperatures from the coast to the inland valleys, still pretty warm today, with a high of 90 in fairfield, 91 in san martin. and we're also looking at some pretty warm weather for the north bay. but when you add in the humidity, it's probably

going to feel a little bit warmer than the actual temperature. and we'll talk about what may come out of that high humidity and what i'm watching for in the forecast. mike, you're seeing more activity now on the san mateo bridge. i don't know if you know. there we go. perfect timing. we have flashing lights that have arrived behind the disabled vehicle that's been there for about an hour and a half. now it's in the service area that was warning of a watch, the slow lane, but no one's had to move or change lanes as they pass that vehicle. it's a distraction, but really it's just the volume of traffic. while we have more slowing across the san mateo bridge right there, mid-span we're looking at a volume building for 880 southbound. no surprises. and it's not really reached fremont out of union city for southbound on the nimitz. that's pretty good for alameda county. contra costa county still, highway four shows more spreading out. we have a little more had a little more moisture showing up on our road weather index. the green highlighting but it carries. been talking about scattered showers, light and unexpected for some, but not because we're watching kari. we knew about that and getting into the city. a note for this evening. there's a giants game

again tonight, so we hope the giants continue that win streak. back to you. thanks a lot mike. all right 6.39 this morning honoring a giant among giant legends ahead for you here on today in the bay. emotion on full display as oracle welcomes back fans after willie mays death. we're getting closer to that president debate among the topics abortion, the border and the national debt. we have an update on that. let's go out to the big board this morning. dow industrials pretty much breaking even on this fine tuesday morning. can you take the whole room out of oklahoma. it's where my soul was born to be. now that is out of oklahoma. a new song just released by lainey wilson. she's going to be on the today show plaza for today's city concert series. that is coming up this morning after today in the bay at seven. we'll be right

back.

two. we're taking a live look outside at all the cloud cover over walnut creek, and we're looking out for the possibility that some thunderstorms may pop up, some of the rain evaporating before hitting the ground, which could trigger what we call dry lightning, and that could spark some new fires. watching out for that with a hot temperatures that continue. more on this in

the microclimate forecast coming up. and this live look at the bay bridge. it shows you a different pattern than you might expect for right now. 643 we're looking at a lanes off to the well between hov and the middle lanes looking pretty light. there may be an issue. there's a backup in berkeley and my buddy jerry is looking for it. we'll let you know. we'll show you what we see coming up. well, here is a live look for you this morning at sfo. this is where two recent sfo bound delta flights reportedly experienced engine failures before safely landing. the chronicle reporting that a delta plane from boston and another from atlanta each had an engine fail mid-flight. but the first happened last thursday and returned to boston. the second happened the next day, and the plane landed in salt lake. now it was all part of four delta incidents over a 48 hour period. delta not yet responding to the chronicle's report. also new this morning the tsa is gearing up for a travel rush over the 4th of july

holiday. new forecasts indicate more than 32 million people will be screened at u.s. airports over the ten day period starting on june 27th. that would be a jump of more than 5% from last year. now, the peak travel day is expected to be friday, june 28th, which may set a new single day record. well, president biden continues to prep at camp david for thursday's debate. and scott, camp david is where you go when you need some time to hit the books. to hit the books, have some quiet. yeah, i was looking over the historical records. ginger and every president in modern history has spent several days at camp david in the days leading up to a debate, including donald trump. trump, meantime changing his tune a bit over his predictions about how the debate is going to go. he's raising the bar, saying he expects biden to do well now. just last month, trump said crooked joe biden is the worst debater i have ever faced. he

can't walk. he can't find his way off the stage, can't put two sentences together. but at a campaign stop earlier, trump said, quote, i'm not underestimating biden. now this is a look at the outside of the facility in atlanta where that debate is going to take place. and trump just in the last couple of days, saying he expects biden to do quite well. now, we expect former president trump will bring up the border early and often as well as inflation, two topics that americans certainly care about national debt would be a good question for the moderators to ask about, the nonpartisan congressional budget office said last week the debt could hit 56 trillion by the end of the decade, but neither man has reduced the debt. in fact, new numbers out of the committee for a responsible budget found trump ran up twice the national debt biden did. trump borrowed 8.4 trillion and biden about half that 4.3 trillion. and that

ratio holds up even if you take covid out of it, removing all the pandemic relief, the trump administration borrowed 4.8 trillion, the biden administration 2.2 trillion. speaking of debt, judges in kansas and missouri have blocked biden's plan to lower monthly student debt payments. the save plan also canceled some debt, but several republican groups the same ones who successfully blocked biden's relief plans at the supreme court, were able to convince judges to suspend biden's new plan nationwide. it was supposed to go into effect on monday. lauren boebert, the politician who watched today she has an election in colorado, a primary for republicans in a republican district. so if she wins today, she'll likely win the general. now, boebert is not running for her own seat in the third district, which she won by just a few hundred votes. last time she switched to the nearby fourth, which is more republican. so marcus winning the republican ticket today

pretty much guarantees a win in november. back to you. all right. well, there you have it. thanks, scott. well an absolute legendary giant remembered at oracle park. join us in observing a moment of silence for the ultimate forever giant. number 24, willie mays, the giants last night playing their first home game since the death of hall of famer willie mays. during the pregame tribute, giants broadcaster welcomed his friends and family, including son michael mays and mays godson barry bonds. a lot of fans called last night something they did not want to miss. i can remember being at candlestick park out in the bleachers, trying to get in the scrum for a home run ball from willie. it was. it was madness. tell me how when willie mays played, all the ladies used to sit in the house and sit around the tv. and the world stopped when baseball came on. well, last night, every giant player wore the number 24.

this is to honor mays. the team is actually planning a huge public farewell with a date announced in the coming days on the field. well the giants broke a five game losing streak, walking off with a54 win over the cubs. ginger called it yesterday, by the way. all right. i'm gonna call it again today. keep going. well, happening today as well. santa cruz county supervisors are considering changing some camping restrictions now. supervisors will vote on a campground proposal later this afternoon. it's meant to allow more smaller campgrounds in rural areas. the plan means campers can set up tents in areas outside of a certain county boundary. but there are a few rules. it can only be one campsite with four people, and it cannot be set up in sensitive wildlife areas. campers can stay for up to 14 days twice a year. we know two words can say a lot for some people and trending for you this morning. i'm 40 niners times. that comes after you say i do. they're tying the knot.

that's right. all right. that works to christian mccaffrey and fiance olivia culpo. are taking off to their wedding. the 32 year old model posted these pictures to her instagram story. they show her and the 40 niners running back boarding a private plane. and you can see there it is mr. and mrs. decorations. now they're jetting off to an unknown wedding location with their little puppy in tow. the pair has been dating since 2019. congratulations. it's nice. yeah, we didn't get our invite, but congratulations, guys. you didn't get your invite. just going to take. i'm not going to tell you where it is, though. that's why you're leaving or. i'm just kidding. all right. taking off early for the weekend . i bet they're going to have some good weather. absolutely. you know, hopefully we've had a little bit of everything here. we've kind of confused our weather for something more tropical because of the way it feels outside. it's been humid. we've had some waves of rain

coming through and also a few lightning strikes. that's been the concern with this mid-level moisture coming in. and as we track the rain, not a lot of it. it's been fairly spotty, but we are getting some lightning strikes over the sacramento valley that we'll have to monitor for here in the bay area. as well. and a typical thunderstorm, you get the rain that falls all the way to the ground. if the air is humid enough. but what we have here is as that rain falls out of the cloud, it encounters a layer of some dry air. just underneath that, so much of the rain is evaporating before hitting the ground. we call that virga. but if there is some lightning within that thunderstorm, that lightning may definitely make it to the ground. and if it hits some dry vegetation, it could spark some new fires. so we're watching out for that possibility today. increased fire danger and the risk of some dry lightning. but overall it's just going to feel humid and hot this afternoon for the inland areas. we do have a cooling

trend coming our way throughout the rest of the week, and we're headed for the upper 80s in concord for today, 88 in livermore, 83 in san jose, and we'll see a few low 90s while in much of the north bay, it will be in the 80s this afternoon, mostly 70s for tomorrow. you see the temperatures coming down a little bit more between tomorrow and thursday, and we do have a nice way to wrap up our week with temperatures about normal for this time of year, some of our hottest spots in the inland valleys will be in the mid 80s, while san francisco is going to continue to see highs in the 60s at times, some low clouds and fog, and just watching out for that chance of some isolated showers and thunderstorms for today. mike, you were looking for something in berkeley? yeah, with jerry's help. jerry's in our operations center, and he was moving the camera around. we were searching for the source and the backup itself. we see west 80 coming here through university, and it's moving very smoothly. that's right about there where the camera was. we see something slowing it down before you get there. but there's no cause. so i think it

was just timing wise because now things are moving more smoothly. we have some sprinkles, rain showers up in the north bay, but no surprises as far as the flow. more build just in the last ten minutes here near the walnut creek interchange. so that's pretty customary. the rest of the east bay showing a build as well as the south bay north 101 and watch highway 17. there will be a lane closure today from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. they're doing that landscape work, but it will remain open. back to you. good reminders. thanks, mike. happening now the clock is ticking to a new junk fee law taking effect next monday across california for restaurants are still hoping to gain an exemption. now. the bill bans all undisclosed fees, but state lawmakers are debating last minute legislation allowing restaurants surcharges to remain legal. that's as long as the added fees are clearly disclosed to customers now hopes are high that the bill will arrive in time on governor gavin newsom's desk and ahead. a look at the top stories here on today in the bay, including a major decision
