5:07 am
recent storms to our south. new video caught on security camera here. a small tornado. that's what's spiraling in the center of the screen, touching down. sending a car airborne. this happened yesterday at an auto repair shop in southern louisiana. the storm did damage the auto shop, but fortunately, not enough to shut down businesses that kept on going. more broadly, louisiana's governor has now declared a state of emergency. >> happening today, a proposal that could dramatically change the way it pressures criminal defendants to show up for court in the state. seven requiring suspects to post bail, county officials would decide whether to release them based on their risk to public safety. some groups oppose the bill. it is 5:07 as you get ready to head out, we have cloudy skies in the north bay. even a little bit of some light rain as we get a closer look. we have seen the spotty showers moving through, but this will be
5:08 am
clearing out as we go through the day. and this is your daily reminder to take your allergy medication. we have a lot of pine, oak, cedar, and a moderate amount of grass pollen in the air. this will be the case for the next couple days as we continue on with more dry weather and a lot of allergens out there floating around. if you have that yellow coating on your car of the pollen, well, you just want to keep it there. we will still have some more of the dry weather for the next couple days. and then you can let mother nature wash your car for you. we'll be talking about the bigger storm system and some heavier rain set to move in on friday. also, a look at the timeline of the temperature trend today in willow glen. that's coming up at about 5:10 as -- rather about 5:12, as we head over to mike. a b.a.r.t. delay reported. >> that's right. but the pollen report comes in handy. my son was having a hard time overnight. we're looking over here toward b.a.r.t. harder time right now between
5:09 am
south hayward and warm springs. some sort of mechanical issue. doesn't sound like it's related at all to the fact that warm springs is the newest station. just under ten minutes perhaps right 93 for your train. meanwhile, getting out of the rest of the bay, the roadways moving well. the freeways not having major issues. going to take you to earlier crash, 880 at alameda. that crash cleared. the debris was also cleared. no problems for the south bay. >> thanks. with everything going on in europe, nick sturgeon is coming to stanford later today. >> we'll tell you what she'll be discussing. >> plus -- >> fox news. pressure grows on the company as ads are getting pulled from the television. we'll take a look in business and tech.

5:14 am
obamacare mandates by covering maternity, mental health, and emergencies, and it would allow insurers to charge sick people more. >> we're encouraged by at least the idea, intrigued by the idea. but would certainly need a whole lot more information. >> the details expected today with a possible vote this week, covering pre-existing conditions and young adults on their parents insurance would stay. not everyone likes that. >> we're approaching this strictly from a public policy standpoint, i'm quite confident that we can do much better with health care reform that we're doing. >> compromise comes after an earl meeting with skeptical moderate republicans and weekend golf diplomacy with rand paul. one of the loudest critics. >> i think the president has made clear that he intends to work with anyone who wants to help him get to the number of votes. >> that number still in motion.
5:15 am
but the number that lawmakers may not have if they vote this week, the congressional budget office number of what this compromise plan would cost. back to you. >> all right. we'll wait and see on that. tracie potts, thank you very much. all sorts of interesting speakers come to stanford. how about this? happening today, scottish leader cola sturgeon is appearing in the bay area. she'll speak on issues that include brexit and climate change. sturgeon opposes brexit for scotland, but now only a couple years after scotland voted to stay in the uk, now there's talks of another vote for scottish independence the works as a result of the brexit outcome. interesting time for her to be on campus. that forum takes place at noon and will be followed by a question and answer session. >> 5:15. tesla is now worth more than ford. >> that is big news. scott mcgrew, investors are excited about the electric car company. >> very interesting.

5:17 am
against the host and network. bill o'reilly and fox have paid out millions so car companies knew of this in the past, but the sunday "new york times" article brought the controversy back into the news. >> today is equal pay day, which marks the day when women earn the amount of money men earned last year. in other words, it took until today in 2017 for a woman to earn what a man earned in 2016. the day was created back in the 1990s. had a long talk monday with the woman who created it. she's retired now and living in virginia. she wants you to know the math behind it is far more symbolic that accurate. but the math, who knows. the day is based on the idea that women make 79.6 cents for every dollar a man makes. she's quick to point out that's based on census data. comparing all full time working american women with full time
5:18 am
working american men. what they do is not in factor. they use a tuesday because it doesn't interfere with holidays but it's not based on exact math. they wanted to clear the day a year ahead of time for maximum impact, right? but they don't get the census data until just before the date, so they have to sort of guess. but she told me they got it right this time around. and again, while statistically the 79.6 is nonsense. >> more symbolic. >> the spiritt is important, and the organizer wants you to know that, in case somebody gives you push back, she knows it's a symbol. >> look at the conversation it's created. >> absolutely. >> an important conversation, and the fact of the matter is a certain percentage gap that exists, i don't know know whether it's 10 cents, 20 cents, you can't explain with anything, and why does it exist in the first place? that's why we're talking about it. >> exactly. we'll have continuing coverage this morning as well.

5:21 am
upper 40s. we also have a few showers moving through. and as we go into the day, going to see mostly sunny skies. 75 degrees in the south bay for the high. also 75 in the north bay. looking at the radar, we do see a little light rain moving through. this is just enough to wet the streets as you get ready to head out for the morning drive, but not seeing a widespread rain, and this will not have a major impact on the day today. but looking at this larger storm system rolling through the pacific, and as it gets closer, we'll start to see more clouds and then some rain eventually by thursday afternoon. for the north bay, the rest of the bay area not seeing it until late thursday night. but then look at friday morning. here we are just all covered with some heavy rain. this could cause quite a few problems with some gusty winds, heavy downpours and the potential in most of the bay area bringing at least a quarter to a half inch of rain, but it will be higher for the north bay where we could see an inch plus in the santa cruz mountains will
5:22 am
get the most, i'm thinking, at this point, about 2 to 3 inches of rain for friday afternoon into saturday. looking at the bigger picture for san francisco, it will be fairly warm the next couple days, but then cooling down after the rain moves in. rain on friday. scattered showers opsaturday, and as you make plans for sunday, that will be the day to get outside. it will be all dry. as we head over to mike, some better news for b.a.r.t. riders. >> the earlier problems we had reported between south hayward and warm springs, mechanical issues have been resolved so there may be up to ten-minute delays for some of thefirst trains getting through the area, but no problems other than that. looks like a nice drive on the freeways as well through the same area. now, as you get a look at your drive, pretty clear, pretty much everywhere. we're showing a little build for west 580. at the dublin interchange, a little build. i'm going to track that closely no surprises, the construction on 84. we'll show you how traffic drives over toward the bay bridge. still a 15-minute drive from
5:23 am
highway 4 to bay bridge toll plaza itself. that's great over there. let me show you where the build is. this is on the waze system. looking at highway 24, starting to slow through pittsburg. 30 minutes for that drive, as well as the cut through. that changed because earlier this morning, this was a longer drive. there you go, the change in the commute. you can join our waze community. go to the waze app, download it, click on the magnifying glass, click on your name, teams at the bottom, and join nbc bay area wazers and get this advantage anywhere around the bay at any time. you don't need me, but we need you. >> we do need you. thanks, mike. >> coming up next, what is the craziest thing that you have gotten a ticket for? here's a ticket one san francisco man got at a muni stop, and his crime, if you look closely in the fine print, eating pizza. we'll explain what happened next. also hanging out in palo alto this morning.

5:34 am
illustrate exactly how much 20% is in case you don't do the math on your own. it is a 20% that represents the pay gap between what men and women make. this is according to analysis by the national partnership for women and families, using u.s. census data. they averaged all women and men who work full year round and found across the board, women made about 80 cents for every dollar men make. some asian women fare better at 85 cents. white women make 75 cents on the dollar, black women make 63 cents, latino women make just more than half what men do for the same work. working moms make 70 cents on the dollar. the institute for women's policy research estimates that equal pay for women would add $513 billion in income to the economy. that's a lot of spending power. and we say, it would benefit everybody if the pay gap were
5:35 am

5:37 am
that's the video you're looking at. it would boost gas taxes about 12 cents per gallon and create a new fee for electronic vehicles. that measure will be voted on on thursday. >> the effort to permanently end scenes like this in san francisco's mission terrace neighborhood is still reportedly a long way from reality. that's according to the examiner which spoke with members of the public utilities commission. parts of the neighborhood along with the mission district frequently flood when there's heavy rainfall. while several improvement projects are under way, they won't be finished for years. follow up now for you. the city of san jose will take the first step in looking for a new independent police auditor. they're expected to vote on a recruitment timeline with a new hire expected this summer. the current independent police auditor is leaving his position friday for his job in chicago. his second in command is supposed to take over in the interim. >> in case you missed the news, april is normally the start of

5:43 am
it is 5:43. as you get ready to head out right now, we have clear skies across the south bay. north bay, you're seeing a different picture. as we look at the temperature trend for san jose, well, you start out at 46 degrees with a high today of 75. the temperature trend shows you how those temps continue to warm up right at lunch time, at 66 degrees. you'll definitely want to take the lunch outside again. we will have some changes in the forecast. we'll talk about that.
