>> we support them through the lean years. xuper excited. >> i think it's going to be a sweep. i don't think that curry is interested in losing again. and we want to beat lebron. >> a lot of optimism there, and with tonight's win, it would be the team's second championship in three years. as you mentioned there, sam, with tonight's win, that means it would be the first team to go undefeated in the playoffs in nba history. pete suratos for today in the bay. >> ridiculous. we have never seen anything like this before, pete. history for sure. >> new this morning, other news to get to, the west contra costa county jail one step closer to, panding to include about 400 more beds. the east bay times reporting a key $70 million grant has come through from the board of state and community corrections. county supervisors have to approve the grant, but they did approve the expansion back in

[ dramatic music ] the mummy. rated pg-13. experience it in imax. good friday morning. this is the fog and haze we were talking about earlier this morning, way earlier, like five minutes ago. yeah. kind of a little hazy start, but kari, you were saying it's going to clear out. we'll check in with her in a bit. >> kari is standing by. so hold on to that thought for one second. first, amidst the fog, how about jumping into this? sunday, athletes lining up to take part in the escape from alcatraz triathlon. not just a swim there. here's a video from 2015 to give

you a sense of what this is like. kicks off from alcatraz island then they go on an 18-mile bike ride before they run 8 more miles through san francisco for the finish. i don't understand how you can do one leg, let alone all three. competitors include max fennel, the first african-american pro triathlean and six rio olympians as well. >> i have a couple friends who have done it and a girlfriend who is doing it this weekend. >> you ran a marathon this weekend. >> i did, 26.6 miles because they're a little longer than 26.2, but i wasn't keeping track at all, but it's the swimming part i don't get onboard with. >> cold. >> sharks in there. >> in the bay, like some of the most turbulent water in the country, so we're going to deal with that and the cold. >> we're not going to deal with that. >> no. definitely not me. so we are starting out with fog this morning, as we get a look out there. hey, i think that's the zipper

truck, mike. i can see -- that's all i can see on this camera. okay, so the fog is really thick. and that's what we're seeing along the coast. take a look, the seven-day forecast is coming up at the bottom of the screen. yes, it's back, and we will have a very slight chance of north bay showers toward the end of the weekend. right now, as you get ready to head out the door, very mild. in the low 60s. and our high temperatures today up to 70 degrees for san jose. 74 in concord. 75 degrees in napa, and san francisco looking at a high today of 63 degrees. so looking out the window, you step out the door, a little mist on your face, and it will be a good day for long sleeves and a hat to kind of keep that hair under control. going to be very humid, especially starting out this morning. but a little drier this afternoon. and we talked about the rain chance this weekend. so looking at the futurecast for tomorrow, we go throughout the day, a mix of sun and clouds. then by sunday, it's when we start to see the change, with

light showers moving into the north bay as the system kind of clips the region and moves off towards the east. we'll be watching for the chance of sprinkles as we go towards sunday, and our temperatures will be cool as well. we may see that moving into san francisco, too. and other than that, a nice weekend. highs in the low 60s and then starting to warm up as we go through next week. for the inland areas, look at those temperatures ramping up from the low 70s today and tomorrow, and then on monday, a high of 74 degrees, and then by the middle of the week, we're in the upper 80s to lower 90s. i'll have more on that. mike says the freeways are looking good. >> great right now. we're looking over toward a blauch of fog over here on the coast, moving around. it's now over here, east of san jose. still hanging out. no major issues. as for the roadways, the speed sensors are green all over the place. b.a.r.t. running on time, but i put in a note, remember, weekend track work. i think this is the last weekend with that closure right around

the fruitvale and lake merritt station. waze, light traffic around the bay. you might get slicker roadways because of the mist and fog. look what waze shows you. if you're traveling from san jose to cupertino, right now, any route you take, any of the three they suggest, are looking great. keep the san tomas expressway in mind because later in the morning, it may be crowded on the freeway. we'll track it, and you can track it as well. join our team. on the waze app on your phone, make sure you click on the profile, the magnifying glass, your profile, your team, and make sure you check nbc bay area wazers so we can share information back and forth all weekend long as well. back to you. >> thank you. >> 4:49 right now. former employee of an east bay construction company is suing after she says she received a racist christmas gift. >> my boss dressed up like trump, took pictures in front of a confederate flag. put those pictures inside --

sorry. gave it to me as a gift. the only black girl that works there. this is not a joke. this is very serious. >> she says she was a victim of racial and gender discrimination at her former company. she said she was subjected to racist comments. when she complained of being harassed, there was retaliation. >> i want accountability. i want people to know they don't have to stand for anything like this. >> we reached out to the east company but did not get a response to the accusations. >> 4:50 right now. turns out californians aren't very pleased about the new gas tax that's now going to be go into effect. a new poll shows very little support for this, only 35% of those asked. 58%, on the other hand, oppose it. that includes 39% who say they strongly reject this gas tax. the poll was conducted by uc berkeley's institute of governmental studies.

the gas tax was put in place here to try to raise about $5 billion annually. it is a 12 cent gas tax increase and it also comes along with new registration fees based on the value of your car. the money raised will be used for state transportation projects. >> in the meantime, there are new allegations of some shady transactions concerning the state's new gas tax. republican assembly woman melissa melendez says five lawmakers received about a billion dollars worth of state funds from the governor's office in exchange for their support. that money was to be used for projects within the districts. now, the governor's office says this type of thing was simply business as usual, and melendez says this absolutely crossed the line. >> you can't say i'll give you this if you give me that in exchange. that's just illegal. there's no getting around it. >> melendez sent a letter to california's attorney general

several weeks ago, asking for her claims to be investigated. so far, no action has been taken. the governor's office has not responded. >> some state lawmakers say the democratic majority in sacramento is denying funds to repair levees damaged after the oroville spillway problem. they're calling for $100 million in funding. nielsen's office says democrats have denied that funding. no reason was given. >> so charges have now been against a man who hit a sacramento mayor with a pie. the man was originally charged with felony assault for this incident. a judge last month declared a mistrial occurred on the charge after jurors couldn't reach a verdict. now, the sac be reporting a new misdemeanor charge has been filed. thompson goes on trial again in august. >> 4:52. coming up, it's what they're doing to a popular site that's causing major concern.

>> but first, happening right now in pennsylvania, bill cosby's sexual assault trial continuing this morning. prosecutors are expected to keep a clear focus on cosby's decade old deposition where he admitted to giving a woman quaaludes before having sex. and in qatar, the foreign minister said sanctions on his country violate international law. they cut off funding for terrorist funding, isolating the nation, although there are reports this is all spawned by fake news coming from russia. president trump praised the action. we'll be back with more news in two minutes. a harmless prank is turning into

an expensive fix. well, it's called a harmless prank is turning into an

expensive fix. someone keeps dumping soap in this fountain on marin avenue in berkeley. this is in the city's northbray neighborhood. every time the fountain has to be emptied and cleaned, the bill is $1,000. neighbors are now considering installing surveillance cameras. for now, they're keeping a close eye on the concrete structure. >> this weekend, our emmy-award winning documentary series bay area revelations is airing. we're profiling the stories and people who lived and survived the summer of love. >> 50 years since that historic event. many legendary bands came out of san francisco in the '60s, including the grateful dead. other bands hanging out with the dead often led to a trippy experience. >> you really had to watch out for the grateful dead. particularly their road crew. they would take acid and lace it around the lip of a coke can. or they would take hypodermic needle and stick it through the cork into a bottle of wine. >> oh, my.

bay area revelations summer of love, 50 years later, airs this saturday, june 10th, at 8:00 p.m. it was a different time. to be sure. 4:57. we're loving the forecast heading into the weekend, kari hall, and things are starting to clear up. >> going to be clearing up for the fans heading out to at&t park and cool temperatures too. first pitch, only 57 degrees. make sure you wear some layers. we'll talk about what's ahead for the weekend coming up next. and make sure you wear your seat belt. that's the law over here in fremont, you see a glow to the lights. some mist maybe settling in spots around the bay. no major concern, but we'll show you what we're watching. plus, who did it? that's what san jose firefighters are asking this morning after a string of suspicious fires. it )s friday morning...

and we )re getting ready for wht could be a pivotal night for the warrior it is friday morning. we're getting ready for what could be a pivotal night for our warriors as we take a live look at oracle arena. that place will even be rocking, even though the team is not in town. a watch party is already sold out there. good morning to you. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm sam brock. pete is out there now. i have no doubt he's trying to sweet talk his way in tonight. we all want to go. >> with it being sold out, i don't know if will work. >> always a market. >> i guess so, that i don't know about. great weather as we head into the weekend.

slight chance of rain for the north bay. let's get you out the door right now. and we do start out with some fog, again, in the peninsula. you can tell the camera on daly city, you can barely see anything. the tri-valley, low clouds there. low 60s for most of the inlnt areas and san francisco at 56 degrees. heading into this afternoon with highs reaching the low 70s inland. mike now has a hazard in oakland. >> that's right. aside from where you talked about the fog misting on the roadways. watch for some slicker conditions and also watching not a heavy volume of traffic, but a heavy roll of rolled up carpet here, northbound 880 at 23rd, that may be in lanes for a couple minutes. sounds like a crew will head out to quickly clear it. meanwhile, as we look at the travel times out of the altamont pass, no delays. no problems through the tri-vall tri-valley. a great start. back to you. >> mike, thank you very much. 5:00 right now, and all new this morning, firefighters took down an apartment fire in san francisco overnight. this happened on the second fl
