morning to you on this tuesday. thanks for making us a part of your morning. i'm marcus washington and i'm laura garcia. we are under that microclimate weather alert. it kind of depends on how you say it. the hottest day of the week is here. or the hottest day of the week is here. what do you say, kari? i say the hottest day of the week is here because as we approach the weekend, it's going to be so much better. so we're going to get this heat and the more uncomfortable weather out of the way. and then we're also still dealing with this excessive heat warning for today and tomorrow. so we are going to start out cool. at least we do have this at 66 right now in concord it is 69. in san jose and 55 in san francisco, mostly 50s in the north bay. and this is a look at our highs this afternoon. we can do it. we can make it through. it's going to be 102 today in livermore. and we're looking at those hotter temperatures farther inland in san jose today 93 degrees. we'll

get a look ahead to the cooler temperatures for the end of the week. that's coming up in a few minutes. all right kari, thank you. well, we begin this hour with developments in the race for the white house. vice president kamala harris has reportedly secured enough support to name her the democratic nominee for president. now, this is all ahead of the party's convention in chicago. next month. the chairman of the dnc speaking out this morning on today's show, he admits the process to select that nominee for president will be quick, in part due to ohio's requirement. that's a selection must be named by august 7th to get on that november ballot. this process is going to be fair, transparent, open, but it's going to be fast. and we have designed it to allow our nominees to really hit the measures and to hit the requirements that are necessary to be on the ballot in all 50 states. the dnc rules committee meets tomorrow to discuss the

framework to officially select a new nominee. in the wake of president biden ending his reelection bid. and for the first time, president biden is speaking out about leaving the race, passing the torch as republicans pivot their focus today in the bay's brie jackson live for us in washington this morning and brie, let's talk about this harris really getting right on the campaign trail today. that's right. good morning. marcus so today, vice president harris will travel to wisconsin, marking the first battleground state campaign stop of her 2024 presidential campaign. this will be the vice president's fifth visit to the state. just this year, and her ninth since taking office. after a major political shakeup, vice president kamala harris is reintroducing herself, meeting with staff at what's now her presidential campaign headquarters in delaware. and it is my intention to go out and earn this nomination and to win. yes, president biden isolating

in rehoboth beach after testing positive for covid, called in to the campaign. i want you to know i won't be on the ticket, but i'm still going to be fully, fully engaged following biden's exit from the race and endorsement of harris, top democrats are coalescing around the 59 year old. she is well equipped to prosecute. i want to emphasize to prosecute the case against donald trump. the trump vance ticket is ramping up its criticism of the former prosecutor, putting the blame directly on harris for the biden administration's challenges at the u.s. southern border. kamala harris is america's border czar. and how's our border doing, ladies and gentlemen? while questions remain about the democratic party's ticket, including a potential running mate, harris's run for president is energizing donors, raising $81 million in just 24 hours.

but some americans say they still want to know more about the candidate. she might be a little bit harder to beat because, there isn't any mud on her that i've heard about. what can she do for our economy? what can she do again, in those aspects that i feel like trump may be kind of aligns more? i guess, is my thought. harris is seeking to make her case on the campaign trail and on the organizing front. there's been a surge with 58,000 individuals signing up to volunteer with the harris campaign since sunday afternoon. marcus. and since sunday, we know the clock is ticking. time waits for no one. democrats really have to move quickly here. as i said earlier, their convention less than a month away. and vice president harris, she doesn't have a lot of time to pick her running mate here. but i understand she is getting some help with that. that's right. so vice president harris has tapped former attorney general eric holder and his law firm to dig into the

backgrounds of potential vice presidential picks. holder, as you know, served as attorney general for president barack obama for six years. and some of the names that have been mentioned include pennsylvania's governor josh shapiro and u.s. senator mark kelly from arizona. all right. brie jackson in washington. certainly a lot to follow here. thank you. brie. it is 605 right now. in just a few hours, the vacaville community is coming together to honor a fallen officer who lost his life in the line of duty. the memorial comes after a crucial review on the suspect, who's charged with the officer's death today in the bay's ginger conejero saab joins us live this morning. and ginger, the decision i understand from this review could certainly change the course of this case. that's correct. good morning. laura, the defendant in this case, serena rodriguez, 24 years old, is charged with the murder of fallen officer matthew bowen. she was arraigned in court yesterday, but the judge has declared doubt that she is competent for trial. and that

will be the focus of the next hearing that's scheduled for mid august. now, later this morning, the city of vacaville will pay its respects to bowen, who was killed while making a traffic stop along interstate 80 near leisure town road and orange drive. back in june, he was struck by rodriguez, who authorities suspect was driving under the influence of drugs. now, according to chp, rodriguez tried to flee on foot after the collision but was stopped by bystanders. she was booked into solano county jail on homicide and dui charges. now, officer bowen previously served with concord police prior to vacaville police for three and a half years. he joined vacaville pd in june of last year. he was 32 years old and leaves behind a wife and two sons. now this morning, his family and the city of vacaville will pay their respects with a funeral service at 1030. that will be followed with a procession through the city and the closure of off

ramps along interstate 80 and 505 in vacaville. now the funeral will be closed to the public, but it will be live streamed on the city's youtube page. we will also have more coverage on our midday newscast, as well as updates on nbcbayarea.com in san francisco, ginger conejero saab today in the bay. yeah, our hearts and thoughts go out to that family. all right. thank you very much, ginger. well, now to a follow up. the unsheltered living in an east bay homeless encampment could be cleared out as soon as today. this, in fact, is a live look this morning, the city of oakland put up notices for the encampment on the toll plaza beach. a group living in that area who say they're all battling significant health issues, filed a lawsuit alleging discrimination after the city tried to clear their encampment a few weeks ago. a judge has granted a temporary restraining order after the group filed a lawsuit. however, that order is now expired. 608 this morning,

as we take a live look out at san jose. meteorologist kari hall tracking what we can expect weather wise today and currently nice and pleasant out there. kari. yeah, it starts out nice. temperatures in the 60s, even some 50s in a few spots. we're at 55 in san francisco, and for the most part, it is clear all across the bay area. but you can see the hazy sky we have to start out with as we check out martinez and what to expect today. going from mid 60s to upper 60s at 9:00 and we're going to see the sky clearing out as we go throughout today, and also feeling some higher humidity. so even though the temperature at 2:00 is going to be 91 degrees, most likely it will feel even hotter because of the mugginess of the air. and then as we go throughout today, our temperatures slowly start to fall. but the inland valleys will experience the hottest day of the week, with temperatures in the upper 90s and up to 100 degrees, even 102 for vacaville and fairfield, and 106 today in ukiah. going through the week,

it's going to cool off. so we'll talk about that. mike, your numbers going down for gas prices a little bit. you know, we have a couple more lower prices i guess same actual low in san jose. it still leads the bay's best with 363. but we give a shout out to the big box today because they added to the list. costco on center road is where we find that price point. we're looking at a nice drop in price for marin county. it's down to 389. that's about 6 or $0.07 lower than last week. san rafael and mobil on ritter street, and then the east bay's low of 395 is in alameda county. it's fremont's star gas on grimmer boulevard. thank you for sharing those updates right here on gasbuddy.com. we always like better news on the roadways and it's not bad news. it's just more traffic that happens as you go across the morning. we do have traffic across the bridge slowing into san francisco. there's still one chp cruiser at the scene, west 80 at fremont. at fremont, exit there, and that will be a distraction if not in lanes. we're watching for reports on injuries there, and the backup now has filled in the bay bridge toll plaza. back to

you. who's ready for a morning workout? well, you better get ready. you could be living in one of the fittest cities in america. just ahead on today in the bay. the bay area city ranking among the healthiest and why we blurred these people. all right. i mean, i think everybody's had trouble with their exes, right. so twitter, the old twitter is having trouble with its ex plus let's go out to the futures this morning see what's ahead on this fine tuesday morning. looks like not a lot. plus cause maybe we can get. that love to take a look what you've done. well, as they say, all great things come to an end. well taylor swift may have some bad blood after being knocked off the top with the artist who stopped her from breaking chart records. keep it right here. you're watching today in the bay

ok, 500 deluxe garden gnomes. wow. i only meant to order five. there's not enough money in my account for these. i'm gonna get charged. two things i just can't deal with. overdraft charges. and garden gnomes. but your bmo smart advantage checking account gives you an extra day to avoid an overdraft fee. nice to see a bank cutting people some slack. mistakes happen. and we give you time to correct them.

so, you don't like gnomes huh? what about that one? that one i like. a lot. ♪ bmo ♪ (♪♪) (♪♪) voltaren... for long lasting arthritis pain relief. (♪♪)

alert as we deal with the hottest day of the week in morgan hill. going from 74 degrees to those mid 90s already by 1:00. and we'll see some upper 90s for today, peaking at 3:00 this afternoon. and then eventually coming back down for the evening. tomorrow also very hot. so we'll take a look ahead to cooler temperatures coming up in a few minutes. and right now things are getting a little more

crowded. heading out of richmond over to san rafael. westbound 580 takes you over there without any delays. we are seeing some slowing as folks gather at the toll plaza. we'll show you other gatherings coming up. well, good morning. very happy tuesday to you. we're well inside earnings season with all kinds of major corporations explaining their financials to investors. coca-cola, comcast gm today and more. google wanted to buy a company called wiz, but wiz just said no, turning down billions of dollars so it can take itself public. instead, tesla reporting its profits today after the closing bell. elon musk's other company, x, is facing a trademark lawsuit over that x logo. there's a pr company that says it uses the same look. here's a copy of the lawsuit page ten has the two logos on it. you can judge for yourself. the former twitter on the left, the pr firms existing logo on the right. no comment yet from

x. i mean, the one on the left, general motors said this morning it's dropping plans to build what it calls the cruise origin to save money. the driverless car that would replace those little cruise chevy bolts. you see around town. gm's trouble with cruise is well documented. it'll continue researching autonomous driving using the chevy's. a member of congress wants the ceo of crowdstrike to testify to explain what went wrong last friday that knocked so many computers offline all over the world. crowdstrike ceo george kurtz went on the today show just hours after his company pushed that bad file into all kinds of windows computers, explaining what happened. but tennessee congressman mark green says the homeland security committee should hear about the whole thing and how to prevent it from happening again. and the san francisco business times has put together a list of the most expensive towns in the bay area. i think you could probably guess atherton is at the top of the list. the average house there,

$7.7 million. there list shows the marina as the most expensive neighborhood in san francisco. los altos gets the top nod in santa clara county. alamo in contra costa county, and fremont in alameda county. now, i will say everywhere is expensive. yeah, it's the bay area. true, all right. thanks scott. you bet. i was just thinking about how i was. okay, well, you mentioned san francisco people probably exercising out by the marina and the city by the bay actually being named one of the most fit places in the country. the american college of sports medicine just released findings of its american fitness index in the last few hours, and it puts san francisco at number four on the list. it was number seven last year, so it's moved up a bit. the rankings look at the top 100 largest cities in the united states, which are judged on 33 community and personal health indicators. it also looks at issues like food security,

mental health and public park spending. arlington, virginia. washington, dc seattle and madison, wisconsin make up the rest of the top five well trending this morning 13 looking slightly less like taylor swift's lucky number. yeah, that's because after 12 weeks at number one, her latest album, the tortured poets department, has recently dethroned by, well, this man abra. abra cadabra. my last trick i'm about to reach in my bag, bruh. abra abra cadabra. you're like doctor dream, robin. okay, so look, that's eminem. that's his new album, the death of slim shady, debuting at number one. and that means swift's 12 week reign in that position has officially come to an end. but her album maintained the top spot for a little longer than a fortnight, and made music

history at the same time. swift is the only woman to have held that top spot for three months, beating the previous record held by whitney houston back in 1987 and the original abracadabra in the 80s. yeah, yeah, now. also, taylor swift, who he dethroned, she also had that portion where she said taylor swift's the old taylor swift is dead and she's the new one. and so yeah, there's a lyric in the song taylor swift, she's dead. and then she moves on with the new ones. maybe he's doing the whole image thing too, or yeah, or we'll see. maybe they're the same person. no. probably magic. why? people say michael and janet were the same person. yeah all right, all right, let's move on to the forecast, shall we? let's talk about the heat. we want to move past this and make it to the weekend. we do have some really hot weather on the way for today. we are under a microclimate weather alert. and take a look at the hazy sky we have this morning looking over walnut creek. so we do have

quite a few fires burning across the region. not only that, but with the high heat there is a high level of ozone. and so we're seeing the worst of our air quality in parts of the east bay. and it's moderate everywhere. but if you are sensitive to that, you do want to limit your time outside. let's check out our high temperature for today in the south bay. it's going to be hot, hazy and add in humidity to because it's going to be a feeling very muggy. we're going to have a few clouds overhead, and los gatos will see a high of 99 degrees. one of the hotter spots in the south bay. gilroy today, 96 degrees, and much of the east bay. we're looking at triple digits for the afternoon, 101 in pleasanton and walnut creek, and 88 today in hayward, now near the coastline. this is the place to be half moon bay, a high of 73 degrees. and it's going to be warmer in redwood city, upper 80s. there 90 in palo alto and san francisco for the most part today will be in

the low 70s, but as you make your way over toward the mission district and downtown, a little bit warmer there with a westerly wind, and we're looking at low 70s for bodega bay today. mill valley, 84 degrees and 95, in sonoma, as hot as 106 today in ukiah. but we talked about the humidity, right. so this is the reason why we have the remnants of a tropical system farther to the south that's surging into southern california. and now making it into the bay area. we are seeing the green, which shows that mid-level moisture coming in. and that also makes it feel a lot hotter than the actual temperature. but over the sierra, there may be some thunderstorms popping up. and these little blue squares here show the potential of lightning strikes. that's very concerning, because a lot of times this time of year, we get what's called dry lightning, where the rain evaporates before it hits the ground, but lightning can still make it to the ground. and our vegetation is extremely dry. so

if we do get some more lightning strikes today or tomorrow, that could spark off some new fires. and it does show that potential for the forecast. now, after that comes down, our heat will start to ease up and we're looking at much nicer weather for the weekend. take a look at concord going from a high of 100 today to 80 on saturday, so we're already making plans to get outside, right? it's going to be beautiful out there, and our temperatures in some of the warmer spots will make it into the low 80s on saturday, dropping about 20 degrees compared to today. and san francisco will be in the mid 70s today and tomorrow with 60s throughout the rest of the forecast. now, mike, you are looking at subtle changes for the bay bridge. yeah first they were subtle seeing a little more movement at the bay bridge and then looking at the speed sensors as we saw a little bit of improvement and getting into san francisco a lot better. now it's just been about five minutes since i saw the report of the crash west 80 at fremont, clear from the chp blotter, and

now we see actually improvement over the last few on the span and from the bay bridge toll plaza. but getting there, there's more slowing that shows up through berkeley west 80 now slowing through the richmond bridge, the volume just building for the east bay. and our travel time for vasco road now, almost a half hour out of the county. back to you. thanks, mike. well, beating more than the competition. up next here on today in the bay, we're going to take a closer look at the hot temperatures athletes will be facing as they're over in paris for the olympics and the impact our climate in crisis is having on the gam

friday, and more than 10,000 athletes will be in attendance as they kick off their mission for gold. but one main topic at the games this year isn't just the steep competition, it's our climate in crisis as athletes are expected to compete in hot temperatures. in fact, the summer season has gotten hotter since the city last hosted the games in 1924. in the 100 year since, paris has warmed 5.5°f during the olympic period of july and august. included in this summertime period is the infamous summer of 2003, when france lost over 14,000 lives from the intense heat wave. as

far as summer olympics go, athletes, workers and fans are experiencing more frequent and brutal summer heat waves, extreme heat and humidity can affect us all, but athletes face a higher risk because the body produces 15 to 20 times more heat, while exercising. the lack of ac or temperatures not recovering overnight makes the situation harder as well, and some olympians and climate scientists are suggesting suggesting that the summer olympics not be held in the summer. we'll see if that comes about in the future. and for more stories on our climate in crisis, possible solutions and, of course, all things olympics, visit nbcbayarea.com to stay connected. all good information there, kari. thank you. we've got a lot more ahead at 630, including a violent confrontation all caught on camera. what went down inside the south bay market? that's leaving the owners on edge. and i'm bob redell plus, just

moments from now and a couple of hours. city of oakland will clear this homeless encampment behind me by the bay bridge toll plaza. the reason the people who live here say that this action is illegal. stay with us. you're watching today in the bay (vo) with fargo, the new virtual assistant from wells fargo, you can pick up the tab even when you forget your wallet.

kamala harris securing the

delegates needed to become the first black woman to get a nomination from a major party. but the race has just started. our scott mcgrew breaks down the uphill battle. she still faces. and we cannot allow that behavior to continue to occur. and feel sorry for everybody. clearing out and east bay encampment could be shut down as soon as today. we're live at the scene with the push back and the plan that has already receiving, plus another scorcher in store for the bay area. today. we're tracking when these temperatures will finally start to cool down. this is today in the bay so a little something for everyone. yes, it is a warm up, a cool down, good tuesday morning i'm laura garcia and i'm marcus washington. well since we're talking about the cool down the warm up, let's go over to meteorologist kari hall. she can talk us through all of it because we'll have microclimates today. and so there will be some spots that won't have the

extreme heat that we've been talking about. take a look at san francisco. we're at 55 degrees to start out the morning compared to the 60s that we're seeing elsewhere now, it's still fairly mild in oakland. will have a day where it's not going to be that extreme. we're talking about temperatures in the upper 60s to start and then upper 70s for the afternoon. so pretty nice there. unfortunately for the inland east bay and the south bay, we're looking at highs in the upper 90s and even triple digits. but today, the hottest day that we'll see this week, eventually those numbers will start to come back down as we approach the weekend. in fact, by tomorrow, we're already seeing some progress and not seeing as much of a major heat risk as we'll see today. with a lot of those highs in the low 90s, like san jose reaching 90 degrees, but there still will be some upper 90s in spots. so i'll track this cool down for us as we approach the weekend. coming up in a few minutes all right. thanks, gary. and don't forget our nbc bay area weather app is a great resource to track those

temperatures in your neighborhood, and all you have to do is scan the qr code there on your screen to download it for free. well, the pledges are in, and vice president kamala harris has enough delegates to secure the democratic nomination for president. scott mcgrew joins us now. no one has stepped up to run against her so far. right. so who else are they going to vote for? president biden has endorsed her. nancy pelosi has endorsed her. this does seem like a done deal. it's also the easiest path for the democrats because we're someone else to run, like gavin newsom or gretchen whitmer. they would not have access to the democrats presidential war chest. harris names on that war chest, and it's just getting bigger. so not only does she have the sufficient number of delegates promised to support her, she is smashing fundraising records, raising $100 million in just days. as one pundit pointed out, she beat twisters at the box office over the weekend. here

she is speaking about donald trump to her campaign office in delaware. predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, leaders who broke the rules for their own gain. so hear me when i say, i know donald trump's type. so in the next 106 days, we have work to do. we have doors to knock on. we have people to talk to. we have phone calls to make, and we have an election to win. a rally of sorts at manny's in san francisco last night. a number of harris supporters praising her progress, saying they were energized by the new race. young people, particularly young women, the democratic convention is in chicago next month, but because of some oddities in state rules, the democratic delegates will take a virtual vote ahead of time. some republicans have talked about trying to block her candidacy in the courts, but so far can't

point to any legal justification. political parties don't make their ticket official until the convention usually, for instance, nobody knew who the republican vice presidential candidate was until the first day of their convention. meantime, that candidate, jd vance, says he still wants to debate harris to the democrats, who are watching. please find some way to make kamala vice president. i was promised a debate with kamala harris, and that's what i plan to get. now, history will remember joe biden as not just a quitter, which he is, but one of the worst presidents in the united states of america. but my friends, kamala harris is a million times worse, and everybody knows it. donald trump, for his part, wants to change the terms of the next presidential debate. he says sometime in september. the two sides have actually agreed on the date at september 10th

and agreed on using abc. trump says he would now like to change that to fox vice president harris will go to milwaukee today, home of the republican convention last week to campaign. this will be your fifth visit to wisconsin this year. her campaign says she'll continue to hammer that theme of prosecutor versus felon marcus. all right. thanks, scott. so what is next for vice president harris and the 2024 race? well, the chair of the dnc will join today's show live for an exclusive interview that's coming up for you at 7:00, right after us here on today in the bay. well, later today, the city of oakland is expected to clear an encampment along a pristine beach just to the north of the bay bridge toll plaza today in the bay's bob redell joins us live this morning. and, bob, i understand the people who live there. they sued to try to stop today's sweep. reporter. good morning. laura, you are correct. they did and they lost. we're talking about this homeless encampment that's behind me. if you're not familiar, bay bridge toll plaza is behind our camera position. this is northwest of

the bay bridge toll plaza on what is called toll plaza beach. by our count, there are six people who live there, some in rvs. as you can see, and at least one person has been there for four years. so later this morning, we think in a couple of hours the city of oakland will ask them to leave. we'll force them to leave if they don't, and we'll clean up this encampment of hoping to make this beach safe and accessible for everyone. according to the chronicle, the president of the san francisco boardsailing association complained that the encampment hindered access to this beach. it's a beach that he argues is prime for recreational water sports. the city of oakland tells the paper they offer to people in this encampment shelter and services. those people sued to stop today's sweep. they argue that the city can't legally accommodate their needs, given that some of them are disabled living with hiv, aids or aids, suffering from ptsd and dementia. we spoke with oakland city council member noel gayo, who supports this morning's

sweep in general, he's fed up with the number of homeless encampments in his city and the open drug use that accompanies them. and we cannot allow that behavior to continue to occur and feel sorry for everybody, and that's the bottom line for me. i, you know, i'm one that grew up on welfare and section eight housing, but at the same time, you know, there was a direction that i needed to stay in school, learn, get my degrees and be able to take care of my family, come out and offered us things. but nobody's ever received anything for it. so it's pretty much an empty promises, some people say that there is, places to go to, and other people say there isn't. a federal judge said the city of oakland could begin clearing toll plaza beach last friday, but the city tells the chronicle they waited until today to better plan for what happens to these people after the sweep, one of the people tells the paper, living that one of the

people who lives here tells the paper that they'll just go somewhere else. reporting live here, just northwest of the bay bridge toll plaza in oakland, bob redell today in the bay. all right. quite the place to set up camp. all right. thank you. bob. well, now to disturbing new video, which is getting thousands of views on social media. it shows two people punching and pushing the owner and employee of a san jose market. it happened nearly a week ago at smile market on north fourth street. the owner, vong tong, says that it all started when a man tried to steal a beer from that store. a tong sister, who was working at the register at the time, confronted the man. the situation quickly turned violent. surveillance video showing he pushed the owner's sister to the ground. she gets back up and then another woman who was with that man punches her. that's when the situation escalated even further. outside, tan, just getting to the market, became involved, grabbing onto

the couple's stroller, my sister ran out, you know, and she said, oh, they punched me. they punched me and i stopped them. and that's why i you see, i hold the stroller and you want to stop. i want to talk to you. why? why? you punched my sister. tan's hair was also pulled during that confrontation. both sisters went to the hospital, but they are okay. san jose police say that the couple took off before officers arrived and they are still investigating. in plumas county, the u.s. forest service says the gold complex fire is growing quickly drew to win slopes and dry conditions. so far, it's charred 700 acres, multiple buildings are said to be threatened as well, and evacuation orders and warnings are in place. let's turn now to meteorologist kari hall. i know you've been monitoring all that and the temperatures that we're experiencing. really not making those firefight conditions. not at all. it's been triple digits in that area, and we've had some lightning strikes, so i don't know if that was the cause of the fire, but that's definitely a concern that we have again today as these conditions continue. here's a live look at

the picture of the gold complex fire that i just pulled a few minutes ago. you can see the smoke and the flames coming up there, and that big plume of smoke that's coming out from that. and it's definitely creating its own weather conditions as we get those gusty winds kicking up out of that. but much of the smoke is blowing away from the bay area but there are so many fires burning across the region and we do have a hazy sky this morning. moderate air quality and the lighter shades of blue show that we are going to see more of the hazy skies as we go into the next couple of days, and eventually there will be some improvement in our air quality as we get a stronger ocean breeze. as we take a live look outside in dublin, you can see the hazy orange morning that we have there and temperatures in the upper 60s. but when you combine that with high heat and high levels of ozone, that also impacts our air quality as our temperatures today, there head for the upper 90s. and in livermore, 102 degrees will be

the high temperature today we're going to have some pretty excessive heat for the east bay today. and then it does improve as we go toward the end of the week. so we'll talk more about that in a few minutes. mike, you're tracking a crash in sunol. i am kerry. it looks like things are on the shoulder without any major delay, but more traffic coming off the dublin interchange. we'll track that. i also see a little slowing that popped up on the san mateo bridge. we'll check and see if that's just standard, or we'll just give it a few minutes to develop here. the rest of the east bay looks pretty standard for contra costa county. a good amount of traffic now heading down toward the walnut creek interchange that still moves smoothly, but 680 south, bringing the traffic over to highway 24. we are now looking a little bit ahead of this. the commute this morning, though, for tonight, overnight, we'll have the webster tube closed for maintenance. that's tonight and tomorrow and the next day. so three nights of maintenance there scheduled. and folks know to get to alameda out of oakland in the late night hours after ten. then you have to take these bridges just to the south. so good options for you and well known and also dual

dual activities at the oakland arena there. so watch for more activity at the complex. there's a concert as well as the a's game. back to you. thanks, mike. 642 a fishing trip nearly ending in tragedy. two men rescued from a california river. and it was all caught on camera. up next on today in the bay they share their harrowing details of their experience, plus their warning to anyone headed to the water this summer. and we are now just three days away from the opening ceremony of the paris olympics. but that's just one number we're talking about this morning. i'm going to tell you how many siblings are competing so that you can tell your kids, hey, stop bickering, start working together

caltrans worker who was killed on the job. alexander rhodes was killed after being struck by a vehicle while working on interstate five in san clemente. he was 55 years old, survived by his two adult children, a sister and a brother. rhodes is the 194th caltrans worker to lose their life on the job since 1921. new video is coming to light in a harrowing rescue in sacramento. two men say their inflatable raft got caught in a strong current in the american river during a fishing trip yesterday. the conditions swept them into the water, eventually trapping them on a tree. their

raft also became caught in branches. first responders used multiple resources to get those men to safety. most of them, both of them say they were wearing life vests at the time and have this advice for anyone who might be thinking of mirroring their behavior. keep your life jackets on. stay where it's calm and stay out of the. stay out of the roughness. watch out for trees. other than that, that's about it. never go fishing in a rubber raft. first of all, life is very valuable, man and so, you know, you have to always keep that in mind, man. despite one of the men suffering a cut to his leg, no one was severely injured. 647 the paris opening ceremonies kick off on friday and things are certainly heating up. our team is in place and the athletes are arriving for the ceremony and the competition. yeah, and today, in the bay's kris sanchez heading over the baton to you because the olympic torch itself is getting oh so close. oh, it's so hot. it's so

hot. so the olympic torch made its way to the south of south of france overnight. and you might have seen the traditional olympic torch running shots, but how about this torch run by water? we've talked about when the opening ceremony is happening, which is friday. but have we mentioned how this is all going to play out on barges in the river sand instead of inside a stadium, and we'll see so many of the sights that we think of when we hear paris, 10,500 athletes will compete, 592 of them are from the u.s, 123 are from california. california, the most represented out of any state in the nation. that includes beach volleyball player april ross, who is an olympic mom. caleb dressel, another olympic parent. he's one of 34 dads. his fellow swimmers, alex and gretchen walsh, are among the six sets of siblings. and now nbc bay area family members are there as well. jessica aguirre and her team are now in paris, and it might look

from her tiktok video that she is just sightseeing, but she's actually surveying different venues. she's working, checking out the arc de triomphe and the eiffel tower. other landmarks as well. of course, all i saw some cheese in there too. we've been following jess is behind the scenes adventures on tiktok. did you guys see how many suitcases she took? it was four. three. oh, three giant ones. yeah. come on, she's so tiny. all of her lofts are so small. jess will start her coverage on thursday from paris. the day before the opening ceremony. so she and her squad will be there through the 16 days of competition. and lest you guys think that we are past our prime, the youngest olympian is 16 years old. hezly. rivera the gymnast. right? 16 but the eldest is stefan peters. he's an equestrian. he's 59. okay so i mean, he has been to six olympics, so it's not like he's a newcomer to the game. but there's still hope. we can still

move. my niece is an equestrian and i said are you going to go see that. and she says, well it's on the palace of versailles. so those tickets sold out like that. oh, that's gonna be beautiful. i mean, amazing venue. what bang for your buck, right? i mean, like, when we went to it, they were in atlanta or la. you see the city, but you see the city, right? but to go to paris and see all of the sights at the same time, that's so cool. so nice. yeah. and we'll be bringing it to you all live. and jessica will be having live reports right here on today in the bay. she's now on tiktok. i was just looking at the videos, counting her suitcases, counting the suitcases. we have to remember that, you know, paris, you got to shop while you're there, right? so she's got to bring an extra suitcase. oh, that's right, that's true. that's a good point. that's a good point. all right, well, we don't have anything like paris weather today. it is going to be humid and hot. or maybe it is like paris weather i don't know. but yeah, it's definitely different for us as we're starting out with some mid 50s in san francisco. we'll be in the mid to upper 60s as you step out for

much of the rest of the bay area and headed towards some hot temperatures for today. 93 downtown in san jose and 99 in morgan hill. now we're going to see some triple digit temperatures as we reach the peak of the heat for the east bay today, antioch and livermore, 102 degrees 95. in martinez and oakland today, 83 degrees will be in the upper 80s for redwood city, but keeping it comfortable for half moon bay. we're in the low 70s here, and a lot of 70s for san francisco as well. brisk westerly wind, and then for the north bay temperatures 70 in bodega bay to 84 in mill valley to 106 today in ukiah. so you can see it will still be hot. but factor this in the humidity. we're going to see a surge of tropical moisture surging northward into the bay area. now, that may cause us to have a few more clouds throughout the afternoon. but you may also feel a little bit more humidity in

the air. this green shows the mid-level moisture coming in, and when we get the remnants of tropical systems nearby, this is the other concern. we have the potential of thunderstorms popping up, and when we get lightning, this potential with these little blue squares here showing on our computer model, that's when you get rain. and then as the rain comes through the atmosphere, it dries up. but the lightning strikes can still make it to the ground. so with our extremely dry vegetation that is very concerning to see that potential that we have not only for the sierra, but across across parts of southern california. and then it redevelops again tomorrow with the heat of the day. so we'll be watching that once the humidity drops by late tomorrow into thursday, the temperatures will start to cool off as well as we see the return of our ocean breeze. and look at san jose's saturday temperature. we're going from really hot today to just beautiful on saturday with highs in the mid 70s, and some

of our warmer spots inland will only reach into the low 80s, so big changes ahead, dropping about 20 degrees in some spots. not as much of a drastic change in san francisco. we're going for mid 70s today and tomorrow to 60s for the weekend, but we'll see that fog linger a lot longer throughout the day. and mike, you were checking in on the san mateo bridge boys carry because westbound we saw a ton of slowing. things really started to gum up, and it took about ten minutes before we saw anything going on. but it was eastbound coming toward us, toward hayward, where we saw very slow traffic, almost a traffic break, and a bunch of flashing lights. i believe this is a procession. heading over toward what ginger is talking about is the officers memorial up in vacaville. so you may see groups of officers traveling around along the freeways into the north bay just keep that in mind. there's no stoppage, but it is a spectacle. we're looking at a build for 880 the south pass, the san mateo bridge and northbound through the south bay. typical build, but actually pretty good for this tuesday after an early start. we still have some things going on for contra costa county. back to you. thank you very much, mike.
