let's get to our team coverage of the breaking news we have been following. mike will join us with more on the backup and a look at the alternate routes we can take this morning. let's start out with bob redell been on the scene all morning long right next to that big rig. any progress so far, bob? >> well, we have a better idea of when we'll have southbound 880 reopened. right now five lanes here. one of those lanes is opened. that is the far right lane. the chp is about to reopen two more lanes. you have three lanes open. and then as you can see the big rig here still occupying the two other lanes. they expect to have that cleared between 9:00 and 10:00 this morning. one reason why it's taking so long this big rig you can see it's overturned and have half a load of wine. it's our understanding they have to off load each box of wine by hand and that will take time. i don't know if you it see it. if you walk around here through the left. behind the cab right in front of us a highway sign that was knocked down. that highway sign exposed some

hot wires. you have electroified lines there. this big overturned around 3:00 this morning. we are here at a street at hayward and a stalled vehicle on the road. chp is not clear on what happened first. but either the big rig or another car hit that stalled vehicle. so you have these two vehicles in an accident. another car that came and hit the big rig. have a total of four vehicles involved. the krirdriver of the big rig w taken to the hospital with minor injuries. the driver of the car that hit the big rig and the other car are fine. still the driver of the stalled vehicle that chp says is accounted for. >> there's a possibility that somebody did flee the scene. the driver of one of the involved vehicles. as i said, everything is going under investigation and we don't have any suspects names or anything right now. >> now, i want you to get a look at the mess here from above from our helicopter.

you can see that traffic is backed in both directions. again, you're looking at 880 in hayward where this big rig overturned. only one lane opened right now in the southbound direction. they are expected to open two more lanes shortly. two lanes in the northbound direction that are shut down for vehicles to have access and, of course, because of that sign that is electroified. the eta on getting this mess completely cleared up is between 9:00 and 10:00 this morning. unfortunately, this is going on throughout the entire commute and that's why we have our traffic anchor mike inouye to tell us how taget around this mess. >> thanks for being out there and give us the latest information. the chopper shot i want to show you, again. we are in progress. hoping to open a few more lanes and we may have that. there we go. southbound side one lane open. southbound and going that way. top of your screen. one lane open right now. there's the overturned trailer. once they get that cleared sufficiently over to the shoulder, they're going to open

two, possibly three lanes of the southbound side. northbound side already three lanes open but quite the spectacle there in the middle of the roadway. because of that, look at the jam on your map. it is jammed up and this is very unusual for this friday through the spring break week and jammed up towards a street north 92 all the way up to the scene. southbound because one lane is open and jammed to that scene, as well. with three lanes open hopefully over the next couple of minutes we should see some recovery because of lighter flow on friday and that's all relative because look at all these folks coming off of 238. you still have to travel through a majority of that. 580 eastbound out of oakland and then taking mission boulevard over down towards jackson that is a much better route and starting to get crowded as folks head over to the san mateo bridge, as well. less traffic because folks are having trouble getting over there from oakland and the rest of the east bay and those folks may head over towards the bay bridge and seeing more traffic for the toll plaza the metering lights are on and past west

grand and making your way back towards 580 and 24. 580 out of the altamont and you expect that every day and couple crashes around capital and 101. minor slowing. back to you. >> from mike's maps now back to our chopper shot, as you see traffic still there backed up for miles on 880. again, just kind of touch upon the points that bob was making a second ago. four lanes are still closed southbound, but a couple of them could be opening soon. but the eta that bob provided for when all of this mess will get cleared up this morning could be 9:00 or 10:00. we'll check back with him with more updates and mike will continue to monitor the situation, as well. in the meantime, 6:04. we do have developing news out of japan this morning. where rescuers managed to save 8-month-old baby girl who was trapped inside a home that collapsed during yesterday's strong earthquake. miraculously she was not hurt. the 6.5 quake struck near the

island yesterday. toppling buildings and buckling roads. at least nine people are confirmed dead and more than 750 others hurt. laura right now, a violent robbery suspect on the loose. police say that he preyed on a 70-year-old woman walking down a quiet street in berkeley in the middle of the day. >> quite aggressive. it happened monday afternoon on campus drive in the north berkeley hills. now, fliers are posted along that street warning neighbors to be on the lookout for this man. a home surveillance camera caught that photo. the victim told police the robber actually said hello as she walked past. then she was knocked down so hard she said she needed stitches on her face. >> really can't believe that. can't believe it would happen around here especially. >> i have a lot of friends from berkeley. and i have come to know berkeley as a safe place and news to me and fairly shocking. >> the suspect drop under to a dark four-door f-150 pickup. the suspect was able to steal the victim's black canvas bag. prosecutors expected to push

for jail at today's sentencing of a santa clara police sergeant convicted of indecent exposure. last month the jury convicted him of exposing himself and propositioning a store manager at san jose santana row. the minimum sentence is probation and he may be sentenced up to 180 days in jail. the 24-year police veteran is also expected to lose his wraub and may be forced to register as a sex offender. two people are in custody in connection to a stolen car. police arrested the pair in milpitas after officers say they stole a car in and the two of morgan hill. both had outstanding warbts. they're also accused of possessing stolen property and giving false information to officers. two chp cruisers rammed during a car chase that ended in pleasant hill late last night. officers say they initially tried to pull that suspect over for tailgating on highway 24.

but the suspect sped off and crashed his mercedes-benz suv into the patrol cars and then according to chp just kept running. a police dog eventually caught up with him and the man was arrested. no officers were injured. ly on nbc bay area, video of a wanted man captured by police. you see him there in handcuffs. officers say the man is one of four suspects wanted for armed purse snatching in millbrae. this morning all four men are in custody. police say the suspects led them on a high-speed chase before eventually crashing on 880 in fremont yesterday afternoon. police had to shut down the freeway for ten minutes while they made those arrests. the recent glitch that slowed down trains is now almost entirely gone. that glitch knocked out the bay point and concord stations for twost weeks last month. caused by some sort of power surge. b.a.r.t.'s is assistant general manager said while the surge is not a problem any more, the source remains a mystery.

early la nina forecast come true. the water crisis won't get any better. noaa is forecasting conditions by next winter. for the bay area t could mean a drier than normal winter. not always the case. which this year didn't feel the impact that we did from el nino. >> we will be feeling the impact from nice weather, warm weather this weekend but might want to stay away from the local beaches. large waves are pounding the coastline right now and the coast guard is warning people to stay out of the water. >> it's going to be tempting for people to head to bay area beaches this weekend because the weather is going to warm up. let's check the forecast now with kari. >> very warm this weekend but today as waves are very choppy, our temperatures are about average and as we start out this morning, it's cool. but still some very high waves and that surf advisory will expire in about two hours. still some dangerous surf conditions with gusty winds.

waves will be up to 12 to 18 feet and some strong rip currents. and now as we take a look outside at all our microclimates, it's 48 degrees now in the peninsula and 50 degrees in the east bay. and expect highs in the low 70s today for many inland areas. up to 75 in the north bay and 68 degrees today in san francisco. we'll look ahead to that warmer weekend. some spots will be warming up another ten degrees. that's coming up in less than ten minutes. let's head back over to mike giving us an update on the east bay crash. >> better news now and more traffic to show you and the good news is more traffic lanes are open. that's southbound. we have three lanes that top of your screen hoping you see that cal trans truck moving from right to left and going southbound and two fast lanes on both sides of the freeway are closed. you see that overturned big rig on the bottom of your screen. i'm sorry the bottom of your screen is southbound and the top northbound. both sides have three lanes open. have all this activity in the center divide and that's causing

the distraction. the map will show you how big the distraction and the slowing are. friday light for the majority of the bay and hayward and look at that tough drive southbound. jammed up for four miles coming out of san leandro towards the scene. marina boulevard you see the overhead signs and here on the northbound side and 92 heading up past the over towards a street, as well. both directions have these two fast lanes blocked by the overturned rig. that will last until 9:00 or 10:00 this morning. a lot of folks heading up to the bay bridge and getting an alternate because the bay bridge is lighter as is the rest of the bay for this friday. a couple crashes and no real slowing aside from that hayward section north of 92. back to you. >> those two lanes reopening now. thank you, mike. 6:10. one of the most notorious followers of charles manson could be out of prison and the

final say could be up to our governor. good morning warriors fans. we're a day away from game one of the playoffs. how much will it cost you to get one of the seats here at oracle? plus, unveil the new shirts for this year's playoff campaign. it's all coming up. ==mike/live pix==

a live look at the scene... mike inouye here we continue to follow this. the breaking news continuing evolution here. southbound 880. three lanes now open in the southbound direction, but this rig you see and the trailer behind it, as well as that sign

that is down across the center divide that is causing a huge jam through hayward and tracking a horrible interruption to your friday morning commute. >> bob redell will have an update in it the next ten minutes. a charles manson follower could soon be out of prison. a state review panel says leslie should be released on probation. once a homecoming princess, she was the yungest of the so-called manson family. she went to prison for seven murders in the l.a. area in 1969. prison administrators must still review this request but governor brown has the final say. it is 6:14 right now. microsoft is suing the u.s. government over privacy issues. the lawsuit is over a federal law that lets authorities examine customers e-mails or online files without a person's knowledge. the company says the government is abusing the law and that it has the right to tell microsoft customers when a federal agency is looking at their e-mails. delta airlines kind of a

generous spirit after raking in $4.5 billion in 2015. the airline is getting rid of its $25 fee for customers who want to speak with an actual human being to book a flight on the phone. it's also getting rid of its, $35 fee to book a trip in person at the airport. other airlines including united and jetblue still charged fees for most reservations made over the phone. >> not going to charge you for talking to me any more. >> what has this come to? this situation not just bags, talking to people. >> what a luxury it is. let's have an honest conversation right now about a team we can all get behind. warriors playoff fever taking over the bay area, but not just the warriors. >> the sharks officially kicked off their chase for the first stanley cup last night against the kings down in l.a. the game is back and forth until the start of the third when he scored that go-ahead goal. sharks held on to beat the kings

4-3. now game two is tomorrow and game three back in san jose on monday. a lot of fun. let's see if they can do it this year. >> well, speaking of by the way the teams that are doing it. speaking of the warriors back home in oakland the warriors a chance for back-to-back championships. that starts tomorrow afternoon at oracle arena, but that's not all. also an a's game going on at the coliseum that exact same time. >> what do we choose from this weekend. >> stephanie chuang is live in oracle arena this weekend. another big weekend for bay area sports fans. >> i wish i could stay right here, laura and sam. very quick turn around for the warriors. out here playing wednesday night for game win number 73. they're going to go back to practice today. but the question is, how much is all this going to cost you to come tomorrow. these nice wear anywhere from $2,500 to 10 grand and 00 to 700 bucks for the "nose bleeds." game one tip off set for tomorrow right here at oracle.

but starting at 9:00 tomorrow morning. crews spending hours built a brand-new tailgate area for the fans who have already been basking in the glory of the 73rd win by drinking where a glass of beer is going for just 73 cents and that that whole it's a good time for sports fans in the bay area. >> it's just great for people to get out and celebrate and watch the game together. and we look forward to taking on this championship and back-to-back. >> i think it's just going to be a march to the title and that's a statement to make for saturday's game. >> now, fans a s aren't stoppin beer, they're shopping for team game. that new golden standard t-shirt that the warriors sold out of after wednesday night's victory and only two of the men's shirts available at the team's store yesterday morning. i did say in the tease that i

unveil the new shirt. here we go, boom. there we go, strength in numbers. that from last year a repeat. they're hoping for a repeat in championships, as well. this tally mark. that's hoping for the fifth championship for the warriors. now, if you're coming, get here early. a's also hosting the kansas city royals right here at the coliseum. the same parking lot and maybe you want to take some public transportation. laura and sam. >> not bad advice. five also the number of players on the court at one time because they are truly a team. thank you very much, steph. it is 6:18 right now. she's so deep this morning. >> i like to dig into that next layer. kari hall right on the surface we have temperatures that are warming up this weekend. >> should be nice. >> should be beautiful this weekend. happy friday, sam and laura. sunrise this morning over oracle arena and all clear skies, not only there, but across the bay. let's look now at the east bay. it's 41 degrees. 50 degrees in san francisco and the peninsula and the south bay

in the upper 40s. a little bit cool in a few spots. morgan hill is at 47 degrees and also 47 downtown. and campbell is at 48 degrees as we take a look at those weather underground sites. and let's break it down now for palo alto. heading over to the peninsula. 58 degrees at 10:00 and then warming up into the mid-60s by 1:00. so, beautiful lunchtime weather. and then into the low 70s some more sunshine. but it will be breezy, though. and our highs will be slightly above average for this time of year into the low 70s for the south bay. seven-day forecast also at the bottom of the screen. we will be heating up this weekend as we keep this sunny weather. so that weather system that moved through yesterday, that brought us some rain is now producing some no over the rockies and continuing to move off to the east. we still do have a very weak ocean breeze today that keeps it mild, but then high pressure continues to build and fights back that ocean breeze. in fact, we'll have more of an off shore flow and that allows

those temperatures to really start to rise between tomorrow, as well as sunday. it continues into monday. our temperatures will be in the upper 70s right along the coast. and the inland areas right into the 80s. feeling like summertime. not only this weekend, but also to start out the next week. in the north bay. for tomorrow, 7 degrees. in the sunday up to 85 degrees. it continues to warm up, once again, on monday and then starts to come back down. but a look at all the microclimates definitely some beach weather. and you'll want to make some plans to get outside and soak up that sun after last weekend's rain. let's go back to now mike to get an update on the morning commute. >> yeah, kari. first of all, a look at the bay. overall it's friday, as you would expect. hayward, hayward, hayward. we have our chopper. just a second. the extent of the backup on the maps. jammed southbound 880 from marina boulevard and about four miles until you can finally reach the crash and the

northbound side a couple miles from 92. this is your typical zone for the backup but much, much more extensive on a friday. look at the scene. three lanes on your southbound side has opened. one, two, three or actually three, four, five. those are the lanes southbound. same thing for the northbound side. three lanes open. two lanes the center divide are closed because of that rig and that sign is down and cleanup and minor spill, as well. this will probably last until 9:0010:00. bob redell is out there and continuing to give us the update on the situation. as the sun comes up we can see the accident and clean-up activity. san mateo the bridge just south of that crash. folks getting over here and south of san mateo and hay ward. if you're south of hayward fine getting over towards san mateo. look how light the traffic is here with the big jam both directions of 880 in hayward because two lanes in both directions are closed. back to you. >> mike, thank you very much. coming up next, the debate

over immigration and president obama's executive order examined in court. the outcome could impact hundreds of thousands of people. bernie sanders speaks at the vatican after going at it with hillary clinton. i'm tracie potts. more on that plus the republicans, next. ==laura/vo==

democratic presidential frontrunner hillary clinton will be back in the bay area today attending a fund-raising dinner at the san francisco home of venture capitalest. it's co-hosted by actor george clooney and his wife, amal. clinton's visit comes just hours after she and bernie sanders wrapped up aed debate thousands of miles away in brooklyn. >> tracie potts joining us live in washington, d.c. tracie, while clinton is in the bay area sanders now headed to the vatican. good morning. >> good morning, sam and laura. he's at the vatican at a conference where he's speaking. he's one of the featured speakers this morning. talking about inequalities and some social issues and much likely a less heated contingent situation than what we saw last night in new york. >> i did. >> and so it went and the turnout to be the democrats last debate. >> i do question her judgment.

>> reporter: they clashed over sanders backing gun makers. >> what about the greed and recklessness of the gun manufacturers and dealers in america. >> i've got a d minus voting record from the nra. >> and clinton from big banks. >> i called them out on their mortgage behavior. >> secretary clinton called them out. oh, my goodness. they must have been really crushed by this. >> reporter: our nbc/wall street journal" marit poll grew just before monday. she's now up 17. meantime all three republicans showed up at a new york fund-raiser despite protests donald trump is embracing his home state. >> number one honesty and straight. >> reporter: ted cruz and john kasich ended up on late night shows. >> i feel confident that we're going to win with 100% of the vote.

>> that's the attitude. that's the attitude you got to have. >> reporter: here's kasich on voters supporting trump. >> they do like me. >> reporter: and all three of the republicans are campaigning in upstate new york today. back to you. >> all right. everybody's watching. thanks so much, tracie. new transit lanes in san francisco are seeing red quite literally. and i'm bob redell and take you back here to hayward to tell you it will take to remove this big rig that has thrown a major wrench into what was supposed to be a friday light commute. that story coming up. breaking news right now at 6:30

==laura/live pix/vo== if you're just heading ohe breaking news right now at 6:30. if you're just heading out the door, the morning commute will be an issue. a major traffic backup on 880 through the east bay after a big rig overturned taking out an overhead freeway sign along the way. happened on southbound 880 near the but it is expanding for miles. >> mike inouye will give us ways to get around that mess. bob redell live at the scene all morning long and recently crews were able to open a couple of the southbound lanes. >> correct. so, you've got three lanes southbound 880 at hayward where we're standing right now and the two other lanes are shut down and you can see why the estimate is not going to be until 9:00 to 10:00 this morning that they remove the cab and the trailer

this big rig that is behind the cab. one reason it could take a while to remove the trailers. a half a load of wine and still going to figure out off load all or some of that wine by hand. the northbound direction when this accident happened it took out a traffic sign that was initially electroified. they are right now just got to get that of the way. want to show you a live view frommer so you can get a sense of what kind of impact this is having on the morning commute. southbound 80, two lanes shut down. three open. and northbound 880 again here at eighth street in hayward. as you can see, the backup extends for quite a while. the accident happened around 3:00 this morning. a big rig and a car. one vehicle collided with the stalled vehicle. and the driver of the big rig was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

the driver other two cars were treated and released. the chp still trying to find the driver of the stalled vehicle. they are looking at the possibility that that person might have fled the scene. so, again, as far as the reopening, complete reopening of 880 the estimated time is some time between 9:00 and 10:00 this morning. unfortunately, that is going to be going throughout most of the morning commute. we've got mike inouye are traffic guru to get around this mess in the meantime. mike? >> i wish there were more options, i wish, bob. looking over towards the overturned rig. bob is right there at the scene. two lanes in each direction of 880 are closed and southbound side where the rig is overturned. that sign look over there on the nor northbound side. look like they're thinking about loading it up to the flat bed. wale track the continuing situation here. here's the big backup we'll show you on the map. the effect southbound where the majority of traffic was held up this morning was jammed from marina and continues down am to

and three lanes open that's much better than just one. that distraction also paying an impact for the northbound side where we also have just three lanes opened and two are blocked. we have two, maybe three miles now as far as that backup goes. as an option if you're heading south, take east 580 and mission over towards jackson and that is getting more congestion and moves better than hesperian. and northbound the opposite direction will take you out of the area, as well. meanwhile, the rest of the bay shows a smoother floo eer frida and the bay bridge might see more traffic as folks are avoiding hayward. back to you. >> all right, good thing the rest of the bay area is seeing a pretty smooth commute. certainly not the case as we mentioned all morning long. this is a live overhead look of the backup we're talking about. not expected to be clean until 9:00 or 10:00 this morning. if any changes, we'll update you. bob will join us, again, in just moments.

and a developing story right now out of japan where rescuers managed to save an eight--month-old baby girl that was trapped inside a home that collapsed during yesterday's strong earthquake. miraculously she was not injured. the 6.5 quake toppled buildings and buckling roads. nine people confirmed dead and 750 others injured. >> nice to see that little miracle at least there. today marks three years since bombs went off at the boston marathon. three people were killed and another 260 hurt. one of the bomber was killeds later during a shootout with police. his brother tsarnaev was convicted of bombing and sentenced to death. today officials will hold a wreath laying ceremony in honor of the victims. boston mayor martin walsh has permanently designated april 15th as one boston day. a big legal day on monday and a south bay immigrants rights group is sending supporters to washington for what could be a make or break

legal hearing next week. the show down pits president obama against opponents who are trying to overturn his executive immigrationer. that order could affect 670,000 people living here in the u.s. as undocumented immigrants. jasmine cruz is among those making the trip to washington to hopefully attend that hearing. she believes that her undocumented mother might be deported if the court overturns this order. >> it scares me. knowing that one day i might come home from school and she won't be there. >> jasmine says that her mother will be able to remain in america only if the court rules in their favor. local rights groups hope to give a face to the issue by sending students to washington, d.c., to attend. a task force is working to stop the east bay freeway shootings that continue to shake up drivers. since november, there have been 17 shootings in alameda

counties. the latest one happening on sunday. last night we went on a ride along with richmond police. they're working with the safe streets task force to crack down on gang violence. police believe that these shootings are not random. >> we know which gangs are feuding with who and which gangs are responsible for the violence. as far as the specific person, that's what the task force is working with on clarifying. >> one person connected to a freeway shooting in pittsburg was arrested a couple weeks ago. since january, 30 guns have been taken off the street, but no arrests have been made in the rash of shootings along interstate 80. it is 36 right now. san francisco public defending is recommending an investigation after deputy's gun went off at the hall of justice. the sheriff posted this bulletin yesterday reminding deputies for the rules of handling a gun. the deputy's personal handgun went off accidentally, almost hitting another deputy and putting a hole in the filing

cabinet wednesday morning. >> i think that the situation should be thoroughly investigated. there needs to be transpair. we understand what happened and make sure this won't happen, again. >> the sheriff is declining a formal investigation saying she's glad no one was hurt. changes on san francisco's streets has some drivers seeing red. the mta right now finishing up the process of painting red lanes in san francisco's mission district. all of that part of the 14th mission rapid project which dessinginates lanes for only buss and taxies on mission street. that's between 11th and randall. the mta still doing some tweaks, but a long-time residents say it created way too much confusion. >> people are getting late to work. children are getting late to school this is a family neighborhood. >> we looked at signal timing. we've given some better signage and put additional striping in the street. >> the mta is just now

completing that project. crews still need to paint about two more blocks. all of that should be finished by next week. have a seat, just don't take two. b.a.r.t. will crack down on seat hogs taking more than one seat during busy commute times. new rules will cost violators $100, $200 for the second offense and if you're not scooting over, that's $500 after that. >> have a seat, have a heart. we're trying to spread the love right now heading into the weekend. >> we need to, don't we? a long week for a lot of folks out there, kari. but the forecast is going to cooperate quite nicely. we're having trouble with your audio out here, kari. we'll check back in with you in just a little bit. look at her temperature over her right shoulder. >> i think in another lifetime you always wanted to be able to do a forecast or two. >> they're telling us to go to traffic. >> you just missed your opportunity. >> i leave it to the pros. >> mike inouye standing by right now.

watching this situation all morning long with a big rig that overturned. what is the latest. >> down to two lanes on the southbound side. more activity and moving around these tow trucks and getting ready to reposition or possibly start to right this rig in a bit. they have to off load all the wine and meanwhile the southbound side jammed up and so does the northbound side. look at the map. this is north and southbound as we're looking at the jam. about four miles to the scene and the northbound side which also has two lanes blocked we are jammed as you're approaching 92 and extended backup may be four miles, as well as the morning commute builds right through the area. the san mateo bridge bears much

of the benefit. they may be taking the dumbarton bridge to the south. another crash in the south bay this is southbound 87 at kurtner and moving to the shoulder, but i do see slowing there which is unusual for folks through the area. meanwhile, the rest of the traffic flow throughout the south bay and the rest of the bay, though, look really good. aside from hayward no major problems but that is a major problem in hayward at a street in both directions of 880 have both lanes blocked. three actually in the southbound. back to you. >> thank you so much, mike. nothing can get in the way of true love, right? this couple caught smooching as three suspects stormed the bar they're in. and are you ready because i'm pretty sure w is ready for game number one. but more crowd than usual. why you probably need to come earlier than normal tomorrow.

looking to ride the wave of momentum. the markets trying to use some momentum from earlier this week to keep up the yearly highs we saw. so far the dow basically flat this morning. we'll have much more news, weather and traffic right after this. an update to breaking news

==mike/live pix== a live look at the scene... our chopper overhead catching a peek. they loaded that sign that was knocked down this morning. they've loaded it off the back of a flat bed tow truck. hopefully getting that cleared from lanes. once they do, we'll see if we open lanes for southbound or northbound 880. this on the northbound side and the rig over on the left is on the southbound side and jamming

up hayward. we'll continue to follow this and the progress they're making minute by minute. >> mike, thank you very much. meantime, playoff fever still spreading. the warriors officially kick off their run for another championship. they're looking to go back-to-back. all of this starts tomorrow afternoon at oracle arena, but that's not it locally. there's also an a's game at the coliseum at the exact same time. >> "today in the bay" stephanie chuang inside oracle arena. another big weekend for bay area sports fans. >> huge weekend. one of history record making. here's what the fans are going to be getting. strength in numbers. strive for five. they're hoping for the fifth championship for the ws. that's the same campaign from last season. little look back on history and my favorite at the very end, we believe. that was a huge one. game one tip off is set for 12:30 tomorrow afternoon here at oracle. starting at 9:00 tomorrow morning, fans are going to be

able to start a free tail gate if they want to on the south side of oracle. the tailgate, again, 9:00 in the morning. the team had a very quick turn around with wednesday night's last regular season game. so, yesterday no practice. they had one at 11:15 this morning and they start warming up and the players, they're zeroed in on game one tomorrow. >> i'm guessing a lot of people out there that want us to loose now. we have to come out there with that mindset and a tough houston team coming in and once the playoffs start, different ball game. >> no matter what happens, you know, this has been an incredible season. but, it, obviously, takes on a different meaning if we go on and win the title. and that's our focus now. >> so, that's the focus for the warriors team. but the fans who want a ticket, it's going to be about 200 to 700 bucks for the nose bleeds. $2,500 to $10,000 for the nice courtside vip tickets.

now, i was waiting for this very last report to maybe embarrass myself. here we go. that was from steph curry himself, obviously. here is the game-winning shot. nope. okay. well, gave it a shot. thank you, laura. if people are headed here to the game, though. one quick tip besides trying not to shoot live on the air, is come here early. the a's are hosting the kansas city royals also at 1:00 in the afternoon so, it will be tight in terms of parking. take public transportation. back to you guys. >> in fairness, we've seen bob redell take that shot and that looked 1,000 times better than bob has ever done in the past. >> we didn't even yell air ball. >> it's all aboutthe form. >> pretty good form, actually. >> thanks a lot, steph. the sharks officially started their chase for the first stanley cup last night against kings down in los angeles. game was back and forth until

the start of the third when joe scored the go-ahead goal. sharks held on to beat the kings 4-3. now, game two is tomorrow. game three back in san jose on monday at the sap center. a man in a, let's say one of a kind bubble now making a second attempt at history. is an endurance athlete has created what he calls a hydropod. it is a human propelled bubble that works kind of like a hamster wheel. he made a similar craft in 2014. he tried to run from florida to bermuda, but his gps accidentally fell into the water. now he is trying to same trip, again. >> mine is power. it's 85% your mind. anything you can do. >> well, the first leg to bermuda, we mentioned an endurance athlete is more than 1,000 miles. then he plans to walk on, go to cuba and puerto rico after that making a full trip. >> we'll see if he makes it.

you know the saying, love is blind. this next story brings a whole new meaning to that saying. >> okay. love, you could call it that, i guess. when you see this video, almost hard to believe that three armed robbers walking into a bar, nope, this is not the start of a joke. but as they hold up the bartender and frighten patrons, two love birds in the corner of the screen are just too obl oblivious to notice what is going on around them. they are wrapped up in kissing and small talk. the robbers got away with some cash in the meantime. nobody was injure love conquers all. >> maybe they are drunk in love. let's check the forecast right now with kari. nice day ahead. we're counting on hearing from you. you know, we've been having trouble with your audio all morning so far, kari. let's take a live look outside. this is the outer sunset right now overlooking san francisco. kari, i'm told, you're back.

>> we have some beautiful weather. now, looking at the sunrise from the outer sunset. all clear this morning. but we'll be watching those waves as we go through the day. a look at all the microclimates now and san francisco is 50 degrees and also 50 in the peninsula and the south bay at 49 degrees. let's drop in now on the east bay. livermore at 42 degrees as you step out the door. also in the castro valley 42 and 47 now in brentwood. 47, also, for the north bay with highs today and mid-60s along the immediate coast in spots like pacifica and 75 degrees and fairfield 76 degrees and livermore today 73 degrees. so, after this beautiful day, we will continue on with some all-clear skies looking at the big picture. all of the rain and snow has moved off to the north to the east. we will still have a very weak ocean breeze and mild weather today and the winds kicking up to about 25 to 30 miles an hour.

the high pressure will cause those temperatures to soar over the next couple of days and this weekend will be very warm. starting out in the 70s today, but upper 70s for the coastal area tomorrow and the mid-80s for the inland areas for saturday and sunday. our own mike inouye out there at the cherry blossom festival. robert honda and beautiful weather for that. up to 77 degrees on sunday with a lot of sunshine. this weekend, we'll have those temperatures warming up and feeling like summertime. up to 80 degrees in the tri-valley and 86 degrees on sunday. let's check back in now with mike giving us an update on what's happening with that big crash slowing everything down. >> yeah, kari, that's the big issue for this friday because most of the bay is not a problem. but this is a big problem since 3:00 this morning. you see that rig still on its side and we still have the southbound side, let's see. only two lanes open southbound and chp blocking that third

lane. doing some work over here and moved a tow truck and hopefully trying to reposition things. the sign we saw getting on the flatbed tow truck. they have not reopened any of the northbound lanes and, again, northbound side three lanes. southbound side twos and look at the map and how it plays out for your morning commute. slow spot jammed from marina all the way down four miles to the there. that's horrible for a friday and northbound side over four miles an hour heading up from industrial parkway where you're hitting the brakes and get c congested. use mission boulevard and jackson over here. more crowded through hayward streets and this in mind this is stirring up things all over this area and that will be the case until possibly 9:00. but they are making progress and that's the good news. also good news, friday light for the rest of the bay. this isn't rippling back as bad as we expect to see over the bay bridge and you might see more cars but nothing dramatic and slowing for 892 over the san

mateo bridge and folks are having trouble getting there. the dumbarton sees a few more cars and a crash and that continues to be a distraction. but overall at that south bay. not bad. back to you. >> we'll take it. thank you very much, mike. now, to an enlightening new exhibit opening this weekend that has never been done anywhere before. it is focused entirely on california's connection to marijuana. the exhibit is called altered. marijuana in california. it opens add the oakland museum of california. the museum's curator says the exhibit is not meant to send a message one way or another about pot but fast tracked it as a way to educate people. >> have an honest conversation about what their hopes and fears are around legalizing marijuana. >> the exhibit includes a cannabis confessional where people can anonymously write their opinions about pot. it also has a glove box that allows people to touch pot with

rubber fwluvs. >> get up close and personal. 6:52 right now. coming up, we're staying on top of the breaking news we have been following all morning long in the east bay. live look overhead of lanes as 880 still blocked by a big rig crash. a live update and a look at traffic when come back. and all that talk about the warriors and the sharks in the playoffs. we can't forget about the giants. they're taking on the giants in l.a. tonight. it's madison bumgarner squaring off against clayton kershaw. how about that baseball fans. two times in one week. our coverage begins at 7:00 right after our 6:00 news. happening now from the air to the ground we are staying on top of that breaking news on 880 in hayward i have been telling you since about 8:00 this morning. our newsroom and crews on the scene and tweet updates as soon as there are new developments and openings on that freeway. plus on nbcbayarea.com how a

vacation took an unexpected and humanitarian turn. ware back in two minutes. i want to show you some cutting edge technology. this is a vhs tape. push that tape in and hit play. this is a flip phone. have you seen these before? it's called a compact disc.

oh. looks like we're getting a facsimile. what year is it to you? it's old. you'd rather use newer technology? definitely. well, i've got something to show you. this is the 2016 chevy volt. it uses extended range electric technology. the prius hybrid uses battery technology developed 15 years ago. chevy expects volt drivers to get over a thousand miles between fill ups. it's got every technology there is. the prius actually belongs on the table.

- we've been following welcome back, everyone. 6:56 right now. an update to that breaking news we have been following since we came on on air at 4:30 this morning. the morning commute quite a mess out there because of this scene on 880 through hayward.

a big rig as you see in the center of the screen there. overturned and flip under to the center median and took down a freeway sign along the way. >> those wires attached to the sign were electroified. that has been resolved at this point. bob redell joining us from the scene. how are things moving now, bob? >> well, sam and laura. we're still hearing an eta before all lanes here inward are reopened. right now two southbound lanes that are open. three shut down because of this big rig that is overturned and one reason why it's taking so long for the wreckers to remove the trailer part of this big rig is it has half a load of wine. need to figure out whether they need to off load that wine by hand before they can get it upright. the eta nine possibly as late as 10:00. and the northbound directions you still have two lanes that are shut down because of that sign that was knocked out, but chp telling us they will have this reopened at any moment.

right now you can see they're pitting kitty litter down to help mop up the fluid. a quick live look from chopper and give you a bigger picture of what is going on as far as the backup. your southbound direction is back up quite a ways and mike will fill us in on that. two, excuse me, three lanes southbound 880 shut down at a street and two lanes northbound shut down. the two lanes expected to open at any moment and the eta for the lanes in the southbound direction, again, 9:00 or 10:00 this morning. reporting here live on southbound 880 bob redell "today in the bay." >> mike, you notice they just took away the sign. >> bob is on the roadway there, but i was able to see that they took that flat bed tow truck that had the sign on the back and that drove off the freeway. let's look at the chopper shot. >> little progress. >> a little progress. they're sweeping up the sand there, the absorbent to try to clear some southbound lanes. this is southbound.

the jam. look at that. that's not good -- >> how many miles back does that go? >> four miles. the extension there on the arrows there. we show you about four miles of backup and holding steady about marina. some folks have been doing is bailing out on the city streets and getting down over towards mission eventually just south of 238 and joining back with jackson and getting on southbound 880. the northbound side also jammed up as you're traveling north out of union city. a jam, as well. four miles for that extension, as well. having trouble with my remote control, but, trust me, that is the jam and the worst throughout the bay area. the rest is friday light. >> good thing it's friday. >> that's not a warm welcome to your friday. the temperature going up. >>, it will be nice and warm this afternoon. but still a cool start. 47 degrees now in the north bay and 50 degrees in the east bay. up 70 there this afternoon. upper 60s for the immediate coast and 75 for the north bay. >> wow, that looks great. >> okay. that's what's happening "today in the." back at 7:25 with a live locals
