jamming up past the coliseum and northbound the distraction slows you as you're heading up out of the san leandro area. approaching the bay bridge, that is typical. aside from that portion of 880 and the nimitz freeway and typical pattern for a monday as you head through that area. 580 slows westbound over towards the castro valley. northbound 101 actually shows a little bit of an easing. that's what happened and then a second burst kicking in in 15 minutes from northbound 101 through san jose and a smooth flow of traffic there, as well. quick look at the bay bridge toll plaza. all lanes are backed up, however, the metering lights not registered on. the bay bridge metering lights are on. how is that for changing news for you? all right, new this morning donald sterling said he made a terrible mistake. the l.a. clippers owner sitting down for the first time to discuss his racist rant while also taking a few swipes at magic johnson, as well.

and the reason it's hard for me, very hard for me is that, i'm wrong. i caused the problem. i don't know how to correct it. >> i just hope -- >> magic johnson the target in sterling's rant spoke out about his punishment. >> a great day for all people of all races but especially african-americans and latinos who, you know, he was speaking out against. >> now, sterling talked about magic and started with an apology but then really veered off course with this insult. >> if i said anything wrong, i'm sorry. he is a good person and he -- what am i going to say? has he done everything he could do to help minorities? i don't think so. >> not much of an apology to a close friend, as sterling calls magic. magic says neither he or his wife will attend clippers games

the scene a large crowd that was leaving. people leaving various entertainment facilities and they heard gunshots ring out in the crowd. the officers took cover and while in positions of cover, they saw the suspect, a male, who was armed with a handgun. at that time an officer-involved shooting occurred. >> officers didn't say what else provoked them to actually shoot but one we're keeping an eye on this morning, universal city walk very popular among tourists that come to california. let's get ack of the forecast this morning as we give you a live look at the bay bridge. oh, look at that. i do love this time of year because our live cameras have lots of sun. sunrises and sunlight and that beautiful shot right there. good morning, christina. >> good morning. so many of them strategically placed in all the spots across the bay area to show you. 6:15 right now. you know, it is pretty nice out there right now. all things in perspective a

big-time heat wave coming your way this week. today the coolest start that we'll see all week long and temperatures in the 40s and 50s which is a good thing for the tour, i can tell you right now. otherwise, if they were out here tomorrow or even wednesday doing that, very strenuous bike race it could be dangerous. for today this is what we're working with. temperatures in the 50s to start the day. happy monday to you. want to show you your hour-by-hour changes. basically, this is the trend for the bay area. the hottest point of the day is right around 3:30, 4:00 in the afternoon. let's start here right now at 54 in the peninsula by 9:00 a.m. full sunshine and 62 degrees. as we climb into the lunch hour, temperatures will shoot up from 62 at 9:00 a.m. and up to 79 degrees along the peninsula as you break for lunch and then by 3:00 p.m., you're up to 86 degrees. even when that sun starts to set tonight because it's going to be so warm out there, temperatures still very mild. 67 degrees even when the sun goes down at about 9:00 p.m.

i want to show you the hills of sunol still kind of green here, not for long. as we head throughout the next two weeks we're expecting the hillsides to turn brown. photographers you want to get your pictures, you still have 14 days to do so before our hillside dry up again. then we're talking about fire season. for today temperatures on the warm side and i want to show you where we're headed as we head through the next five days and the temperatures will be warm especially midsection of the week tuesday into wednesday in the south bay and 95 degrees tuesday and we could see 105 degrees in the warmest cities across the bay on wednesday. and then that heat will start to break a touch as we head wednesday into thursday and considering the fact that 74 degrees is average this time of year in san jose. let's check your drive awith the traffic alert, here's mike. >> showing folks what you're talking about. sunshine heating things up and this is making for a tough, as you're traveling southbound 880 and flashing lights and more flashing lights and another tow

truck, thank goodness, arriving on the scene south 880 just past 98 and crash still blocking two lanes and two of them are open and jammed up past the call sol and much clear and add more mileage and transition into and out of the area and surface streets and you might want to use international, as well. again, that's a surface street and this is a slow drive and all the way down past the coliseum and then clearing once you get past all that snag that you saw. the rest of your approach to the san mateo bridge moves slowly and then the real slow down because of the bay bridge metering lights are turned on. forming for westbound 580 and more slowing down the westbound freeway about 55 miles per hour and that's not bad at all. a smoother drive as you approach the san mateo bridge and westbound 580 that's the build we're looking at approaching 680 and now south 680 through sunol and speeds coming down to 55 and

maybe 50 and by the time you reach fremont, back up at speed, again. and even the first burst we saw, i thought that would kick in and more traffic heading north 101 towards 880 and 87 should also start to kick in because it is monday, we have folks that have to head to the office. around the rest of the bay a nice, easy slow. palo alto for a live shot and northbound not an issue past willow and southbound look at all the sunlight and bring the sunglasses because the sunrise/sun down will hit you. back to you. >> always keep the shades handy in california, thanks a lot. cal trans supposed to start paving today. according to the "mercury news" the project will add both directions and supposed to be finished by the fourth of july. crews will do ramp work later this summer. a cal trans person says it has

to be 55 degrees to lay asphalt and nights have been too cold to pave. as of today the last san francisco exit before the golden gate bridge might be closer than you're used to. the exit 1,000 feet earlier than it did before as part of the presidio parkway construction. officials say the next exit is well marked if you miss it, you're stuck. you're going to have to cross the bridge and then you have to come back and that will cost you 7 bucks to get back into the city. still ahead on "today in the bay" a parking problem that is pitting the 49ers against joe montana. back out live to san jose. mike was talking about the sunglasses and we'll check in with christina, as well.

that due to fraudulent billing. and the city doesn't even have a professional team. anger over possible corruption and the cost of the world cup has already fueled massive protests in brazil. speaking of the world cup, today we find out who makes the initial roster for team usa. 30 players will be announced and they could include a pair of players from the san jose earthquakes, forward and defender clarence goodson. u.s. coach has until june 2nd to finalize his 23-man roster. the team will train sat stanford university starting on wednesday though all practices will be closed to the public. the 49ers threatened to stop joe montana from building a massive hotel and entertainment center in santa clara unless the team gets more parking. >> "today in the bay" bob redell across the street from where montana wants to build. good morning, bob. >> good morning, lauren and scott. the former star quarterback for

the 49ers wants to develop that eight-acre parcel of land behind me. montana wants to put in a $400 million entertainment center. this is land that he started leasing from the city of santa clara before the stadium deal was ever finalized. >> i called beach front because we're right across the street from the stadium and we're looking at doing a hotel, a couple office buildings, some entertainment and food and beverage, obviously. >> but the 49ers his former employer could crush those plans. the chronicle reporting that the team is threatening to force the city to nix montana's development because the team needs to use that land for parking for its new stadium. the city is already guaranteed that the 49ers could build almost 800 parking spots there. of course, now, with montana wanting to develop there, that would cause a problem. the city is trying to come up with a solution to make both sides happy. the city has proposed 4,000

other parking spots, but the 49ers have said no to them for various reasons. some are under water or have drainage issues. the 49ers have said, okay, well how about we use the youth soccer fields next door to the stadium for parking on game day and the city says, no, that's not going to happen. the team has indicated that sharing the parking spaces with montana's development wouldn't work either and this is an issue that needs to be resolved very soon. you've got a 68,500 seat stadium. they clearly are going to have a lot of cars when they have events here and that stadium scheduled to open in just a few months, august. bob redell, "today in the bay." stage two of the tour of california starts in just a few hours in folsom. it's a short race and right past the main entrance to folsom state prison. in the league going in today's race mark but just the width of a tire. tomorrow stage three of the race

starts right here in san jose. one of the most challenging stages of the bike race sending riders up mt. hamilton and then an 11-mountain climb to the top of mt. diablo. the heat may actually affect the asphalt. if the road warms up, it could cause the tires to soften and that could slow down your bike. >> that is hot. time now 6:27. still ahead, a monumental grand reopening at the national mall. plus, we'll tell you how you can turn a profit by renting out your driveway or garage.

people are lining up to get tickets. good morning. >> hey, scott, good morning, everyone. they are lining up, but they're probably going to have plenty of tickets based on what we saw this morning. 1,800 tickets and maybe 100 or so people were in line this morning. the tour starts this afternoon before that. they've got a big ceremony happening, but the real pictures here were from 2 1/2 years ago. august 2011 when that earthquake shook d.c. and shook this monument so violently that there were big cracks in the monument in the marble and the granite. so much so that you could even see light through some of them. they spent the last 2 1/2 years spent time trying to repair it and putting in steel slates to help hold it altogether. 2 1/2 miles i'm told of mortar that they wanted to, that they needed to use to hold it altogether and now it's time to reopen it to the public. the public gets its first chance to look at it this afternoon, although for tourists who are

hoping to come this summer they might want to go online first. first 16,000 tickets went in 15 minutes, believe it or not. i was just checking online this morning and it looks like they're booked on from what i can tell june 23rd. >> well, okay, send us a postcard. >> tracie potts live in washington. >> will do. >> we have our own beautiful view of the bay area as we take a live look outside this morning. there's one iconic golden gate bridge. today is a spare the air day. we're looking for actually a big warm up this week. >> let's check in with christina, good morning. >> good morning to you, guys. good morning to you at home. getting you started as you kick off the workweek. monday, right now, temperatures are comfortable. this is the coolest start that we're going to see all week long as we have this big-time heat wave and this morning still seeing a marine influence and starting out in the 40s and 50s and you can see that indicated here by the light blue. we're actually running eight degrees cooler at this hour at

oakland and san francisco because of that rain influence and then 24 hours ago. however, i can tell you what's happening out there in the upper levels of our atmosphere and our winds are shifting and seeing this dry pattern develop. the warm, dry sloping winds that warm up as they move from land to sea and that will take place as we head throughout the day today. not enough wind. a mix of our atmosphere which is why we're sparing the air. let me take you through your day in detail. remember, your seven-day forecast always rights there at the bottom of your screen throughout all my broadcasts. you can check in and see how warm it is going to be in your specific microclimate. mostly clear, breezy hills to start the day. as we head throughout the afternoon, we'll see temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s inland and plenty of 70s at the coast for today even when your sun sets at 8:10 tonight. still very mild out there with highs in the upper 80s. 88 in the south bay and 76 degrees in lovely san francisco for today. 89 in the tri-valley getting hot out there. 83 for the east bay and 90 degrees hot and sunny in the

north bay. so, i'm going to show you when we're going to peak as we head throughout the week and finally when temperatures will moderate a touch towards the end of the week. stick around for that right now, here's mike and your drive. >> a much better drive right now 880. this is how quickly things recover when your countercommute direction. the earlier jam up at the rail project and the overcrossing there. and all lanes cleared about six minutes ago and how quickly it recovered. map shows you just south of 98 is where we'll see a burst of traffic still slow in patches and 23rd all the way down towards the area and that will quickly recover over the next couple of minutes. northbound side your commute not a big deal as you head past the coliseum and over the bay bridge. we want to show you the try-v try-valley and approaching sunol for that build in the commute continuing down into the south bay. your approach towards the bay bridge toll plaza and the south bay shows a little slowing for north 101 and 87 coming into downtown and nothing dramatic

coveted martins beach is expected to testify in court today. a secluded hide away, very popular among surfers. well, the co-founder of sun microsystems shut down an access road going through his property. that effectively makes the beach inaccessible. the nonprofit surf rider foundation sued saying he violated the california coastal act, which gives everyone a right to the beach. but an even older law could be on his side, his lawyers say that land dates back to the treaty that ended the mexican/american war and it gives him the right to cut off access to the beach. 6:41. coming up an update to breaking news. a nigerian terror group says it is willing to release hundreds of girls but it wants something in return. new video that shows the girls in activities, next. flames break out in a south bay homeless camp so large that camp is it's known as the jungle. >> when i listen to the tape, i

landfill close to highway 237. crews say the wind pushed the flames around sparking flames and tanbark and starting several spot fires. at the height of that fire, nearly 55 firefighters and 11 engines were on site. no word on how that fire started. this morning a baby is still in the hospital after nearly drowning in a backyard pool. the baby fell into the pool on a home on ducker court in concord between concord boulevard and clayton road.

but we're here to help you get through it. one way you can combat the heat in your home for today is to go ahead and shut those blinds before you leave, that's always a good idea. as we head throughout the next couple of days, that heat is going to be strong. want to make sure you're aware of it if you work outdoors or kids are headed off to school today. make sure they have an extra bottle of water and a clear start in san jose and nice pan and show you the beautiful start we're getting here. natural ac turns off and you can see that's occurring right now. no fog, no low clouds and no westernly flow to carry in that cool ocean air-cool speeds showing you what is happening and all the yaarrows pointing o. that is our warming trend. 88 degrees for the south bay and the east bay today at 89 degrees and going to hit about 90 degrees in the north bay and warmest region for today and then i want to give you an idea of where we're headed as we head

throughout the week into the upcoming weekend because even by saturday when the heat breaks a touch, still way above average. ten degrees above average as we normally see highs around 74 degrees in san jose this time of year. we'll be there guiding you through those temperatures as they climb all morning. here's mike. >> east shore freeway, christina, where we see all this jammed up traffic. obviously, your commute direction there was report of a turkey over on the side of the road. i don't know why you have time to notice that when you are noticing everybody else in the roadway. i looked for the turkey, as well. i got pulled into it, as well, i didn't see it. all this traffic westbound and there is the incident marked for turkey. we don't have a turkey icon. jammed coming off of westbound 580. south 880 is jammed up and typically slow because of a crash that had happened right there by the coliseum. jammed up and now still slowing

patches from 23rd down to the scene. smoother, much smoother over the next five to ten minutes. a smoother drive, as well, but starting to build for the castro valley and heading towards the san mateo bridge and look over here, walnut creek nothing unusual out of concord and southbound 680 and the northbound side that is opposite your commute, as well. for the tri-valley and blocking your fast lane as folks trying to make their shift over to the right and make that interchange, as well. a confusing area and we're tracking it and so far sounds like everything is sorting itself out pretty smoothly. southbound 680 has the build through pleasanton and that build for dublin you might see a little bit of a break as you travel down towards sunol. south bay you have your northbound routes. and now 280 to show the build in the slowing and not a big deal and typical pattern there and the peninsula itself moves smoothly and dunbarton and your north bay and we'll show you towards the curve we now have

traffic starting to bog down near south pedro road. back to you. >> all right, mike, thank you. new this morning, donald sterling said he made a terrible mistake. the l.a. clippers owner sitting down for the first time to discuss that racist rant. and during that interview he takes a few swipes at nba great magic johnson. "today in the bay" peggy bunker joins us with more on the story. good morning. >> good morning. that's the ironic part, laura and scott. keeps calling magic johnson a friend and in the next sentence he keeps tearing him down. despite that racist rant, he is really not a racist. >> and i'm here with you today to apologize and to ask for forgiveness for all the people that i've hurt and i've hurt so many people. >> now, it's taken more than two weeks for donald sterling to talkbout the first time about that leaked tape where he says his then girlfriend he asked her not to bring black people to clippers basketball games. he sat down with cnn's anderson

cooper to offer this apology for those comment. those comments cost him everything. now banned for life from attending any nba games and soon nba owners will decide if he has to give his team up altogether and sell his ownership in the clippers. sterling says he feels especially bad for his players. >> my players, they didn't need this. they didn't need this cloud over their head and they're good people. and i love them and i respect them and i will always be there for them. for them to hear that i am a possible racist, it's so painful to me. except i'm not a racist. >> magic johnson, the target in sterling's rant, spoke out about the punishment that sterling received. >> i'm just happy that commissioner adam silver came down hard. >> now, on the topic of magic johnson during the interview with anderson cooper, sterling manages to both apologize to magic and then insult him in the next sentence.

take a listen. >> i just don't think he is a good example for the children of los angeles. >> so, to say something like that this apology hardly an apology and offer magic johnson one of the most beloved players in nba history. right now his wife, shellie, fighting to retain her ownership stake in the team saying she shouldn't be punished for her husband's behavior. we will be watching that closely. laura, scott. >> i understand now with anybody associated with the previous ownership won't be allowed. >> that's right. all about the stake and the ownership and basically one falls, basically the other one does, as well. however, shellie sterling's attorney is saying that's not true and trying to go by state law versus nba law and that's kind of where the difference is they're butting heads. >> the lesson is sometimes when you apologize, apologize and that's it. >> it just keeps coming up and coming up for donald sterling.

police in san jose spending much of the night canvassing the area where a man was stabbed last night. officers say the man had been stabbed at least one time and taken to hospital and has not been told his condition so far this morning. the suspect has not been found or even identified at this point. investigators say they're still looking for a motive. the case against the 49ers aldon smith expected to move forward in a santa clara county courtroom today. a procedural hearing. smith not expect today be there and he is facing felony gun charges and a drunk driving charge. the los angeles city attorney is still considering misdemeanor charges in a separate case after smith made a bomb threat at los angeles airport last month, despite the recent legal troubles, the 49ers exercised an option to keep smith through the 2015 season. the downfall of former joe

montana's project could be the old team himself. 49ers organization says it will kill montana's project unless the team's new stadium gets more parking spaces. >> "today in the bay" bob redell live across the stadium where montana wants to build. good morning, bob. >> the former star quarterback for the 49ers wants to build a $400 million entertainment center right there in that eight-acre parcel land which you can see is located directly across the street from the brand-new levi stadium. this is land that the montana star is leasing before a stadium deal was ever finalized. develop it with office space, hotels, shops and restaurants. >> it's where i'm supposed to be right now. people are going to love the area and they're going to block off the street like right in front of our property. going to be all walk. >> it's a dream montana has and a dream that could be crushed by his former employer.

"the chronicle" reporting that the 49ers are threatening to force the city to nix montana's development because the team needs to use that land for parking for its new stadium. the city has guaranteed that the team could build 789 parking spots there. now, the city is trying to come up with a solution to make both sides happy but it's difficult because there's just not much space around the stadium. they have proposed 4,000 other parking spots, but the team has said no to them for various reasons. some have draining issues, for example. want to give you a better lay of the land and a map that we put together here to give you a better situational awareness. you have the stadium right there across the street and you also notice that there is a soccer field. used soccer field on the other side of the stadium. the 49ers opposed using those for game day for parking and that is not going to happen, indicated the city. and this is an issue, a big issue, an issue of parking.

68,500 seats in that stadium. you could imagine when they have events, they have a lot of people here who needs to put their wheels somewhere and this needs to resolve soon because levi stadium is going to open in august. reporting live here in santa clara, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> you gave us a great tour of the stadium last week and it looks essentially done and yet still bickering about parking. >> yes. it sounds like, it's obviously, it's going to come to a head soon and it does sound like based on what we're reading and understand the 49ers will get their way, one way or another. >> despite the fact that he actually closed before the stadium plans were done, right? >> but the 2012 stadium deal does indicate that the city has guaranteed the parking spots there and montana does not own that land. he's only leasing it. >> interesting. a lot of money to be made around that area. thanks a lot, bob. 6:57.

san carlos can be one of the first cities on the peninsula to implement water use restrictions. tonight, the city council will meet to discuss whether to require people living there to cut back on their water use by 20%. several bay area cities and the south bay, east bay and tri-valley have already implemented mandatory cutbacks. while we're on the subject, let's check in with christina who i'm guessing there is no rain in the forecast at all. >> actually, now that you bring it up, i have to tell you as we get into memorial day weekend, we might just get a little bit of rain. we'll talk about that as we get closer to the day. but we have a heat wave to get through before that time and temperatures today are going to be hot. you can see why that start in san francisco tells the story completely clear and no low clouds to keep us cool later on and as the winds shift off shore it will be another hot one. 88 degrees in the south bay and 89 for the east bay and san francisco and 82 tomorrow. if you miss your seven-day, we'll have it for you every 15

minutes during "today" show. here's mike with your drive. >> this is a little extensive as far as a slow down on the eastbound freeway and off the berkeley curve. no crashes through the area but you're very slow basically aout of richmond and things bog down to the red zone below 20 miles per hour and you saw it creeping and crawling and now southbound to continue through the area, you're okay. west off of 580 and west 24 is also starting to jam up. a slow drive to the bay bridge and slow 880 as we continue to recover from the earlier crash and all lanes cleared south past the coliseum and west 580 and still might have the f fast lane affected. back to you. >> all right, one last check of our day's top stories. the terror group accused of kidnapping hundreds of girls says it will let them go in exchange for the release of prisoners. in a video you can see some of the girls wearing full veils and praying. the group says the women have

been converted to islam. the washington monument set to reopen today has been closed for nearly three years because of damage by an earthquake. >> that's what's happening "today in the bay" back at 7:25 with a live local news update. good morning. a new video released just this morning showing for the first time some of those schoolgirls a powerful string of tornados tears through the midwest overnight, as the severe weather threat shifts east, while a rare spring snowstorm has the plows out again in colorado. asking for forgiveness. donald sterling's first public comments since being banned for life from the nba. >> am i entitled to one mistake? it's a terrible mistake. >> as his wife breaks her silence about the scandal. >> it was just degrading and it
