we have had all of this unusually warm weather and no rain. it happens to just block any storm systems from moving our way. there's still some rain moving up around seattle and portland, but for us it hasn't made it this far south!.e and that hig pressure makes those storm systems steer around it and it also causes clear skies and some very warm temperatures. we are still looking at warm air, but a shift in the winds will increase our wind speeds and bring down our temperatures for the weekend. those gusty winds will also bring up our fire danger. so that will be of concern with the lack of rain, some gusty winds and low humidity. you will want to keep checking in for more information about that. meantime we're going to have several more very warm days. mike was saying the commute is starting to kick in. it has begun. you can't really tell that from the sensors, little blips here and there, south bay, tri-valley, a little build out

of the altamonte pass. slowing for 101 and 87 slows on the southbound side around capital expressway. i will double-check around the area because that's unusual. we do have police activity 9th and keys north of happy hollow from one of the stories we're following as the overnight activity in the south bay. looking at the freeways for the most part they are looking good for the tri-valley once you come little slowing toward the dublin inter what i thichang interchange. the north bay highway 37 also slows a bit right around the area getting out of÷5'z over concern, but we are just seeing thisdan forming early and now all lanes are the fast track lanes are still moving well but the cash lanes and it's been building. 15 minutes early for ty]t to happen. the maze moves slowly.

we will track this activity. it is 5:20. coming up next on "today in the bay," a disturbing warning to parents, the trend on social media that could be putting your children at risk. you could save energy

by living off the grid. completely. or... set the washing machine to cold. do your thing. energy upgrade california.

welcome back, everyone. it is 5:23 right now. a new warning for parents with younger children. sharing too many photos and information may leave them

vulnerable to identity theft. that's the opinion of some tech experts. they believe parents who overuse social media put their children at risk in the future. one parent says she keeps her social media posting to a minimum. >> only if like we're doing something together, i might say, here we are at someplace together, but on a regular basis i'm not putting a lot of pictures on there of us. >> experts warn posting your child's name and don along with your maiden name and location is enough to open a credit card or a bank account and children who have had their identity stolen often don't discover it until years later. that's when they try to obtain a credit card or loan and it shows up. if you're planning to travel overseas and you need a new passport, you might want to get it before the fees go up. u.s. passport execution fees are increasing from $25 to $35. this is beginning on april 2nd. that increased fee is in addition to the standard

application fee which is $110 for the book. the state department says that the price hike will help cover the cost of processing passport applications. we should mention that the $10 increase does not apply to those who are just renewing their passport by mail. state lawmakers are considering a plan aimed at limiting prescription painkillers. the goal is to fight opioid abuse. the bill would require doctors to write prescriptions that last for only three days so you would have to go back to the pharmacy for a refill multiple times a week. after the third refill a doctor would need to justify the use of more pills for the patient. lawmakers say making opioids harder to get is a good thing. some patients say it's just inconvenient. >> you're going ten times a month to the pharmacy. it just doesn't make sense. >> there should be some limits there and there should be some reevaluation as to why they continuously need this medication. >> the law would punish doctors if they don't limit the prescriptions. doctors could face miss demeanor charges and would have to go

before a licensing board, potentially facing disciplinary action. the bill does have some exceptions for cancer patients and people with chronic pain. more details now, we looked up overnight the latest data on opioid abuse in california and across america. the cdc says on average 115 americans die every day from an opioid overdose. the cdc says nationwide opioids were involved in 42,000 debts in 2016. california specifically more than 4600 people died from an overdose that year. coming up next on "today in the bay" a violent night in san jose, two different investigations under way right now, including a deadly double shooting at a denny's. we are live with what we're learning new this morning. happening today the next step in the effort to oust a controversial judge. the judge under fire for his controversial sentencing in the brock turner case.

live look outside in san jose. let's go to the neighborhood of evergreen. we will be at 51 degrees at 7:00 and another day where those temperatures shoot up very quickly. normally we are at 61 degrees but we will be at 74 by 1:00, here is a look at all of our high temperatures, another day where we could be setting some records. we saw several records falling yesterday. we are going to be in the upper 70s for napa, concord and also san jose. 70 degrees today in san francisco and we are just going to jump right ahead to the weekend coming up in seven minutes. mike, now you have new crashes in oakland and san jose. i do. it's not weekend like here. this is very much like the middle of a weekday morning commute but it's kicking in right now. before our eyes we see traffic stacking up at high street all the way up to 23rd where i'm told chp has reports of an overturned vehicle. chp is not yet there, probably hampered by the slower drive. the rest of the bay moves well but the bay bridge toll plaza

metering lights are on and then it crash in san jose north 101 at oakland road is on the shoulder, but judging by these traffic patterns they may have one lane blocked, i will wait until chp gives us more of an update there. city streets i will hand off all the activity that's happened overnight to you guys. it was actually a violent night overnight. breaking news we're following on this tuesday morning, two separate incidents to tell you about. this is a live look at some police activity in downtown san jose. key street which is closed between 8th and 10th. this is the california car wash. it was only about a block away from san jose state football stadium. it's happening in an area near the happy hollow zoo. police are looking for bullet casings right now and for witnesses. we will bring you more in a live report, but a shooting there happening near key street downtown, 8th and 10th street. one mile away from that scene police are investigating a deadly shubl shooting outside of a denny's restaurant. a man and woman have died in

that case. that shooting happened a little before 11:00 p.m., this was last night, on south 1st street and east alma avenue. police just cleared the scene. so far they say that there is little about this investigation that they can release. now to our other top story this morning, all eyes on the stock market after a historic selloff yesterday. >> we want to talk to scott mcgrew right now for a closer look. it will be interesting to see what we can expect today. >> i think we're going to expect more lousy markets, more of the same. i was looking at the european markets, they are performing very poorly. let's take you to the numbers on monday. dow fell nearly 1200 points, it's worst point drop ever. so what caused this? you can blame interest rate worries, blame herd mentality, but no matter what cause you ascribe to it, some perspective for you this morning. number one, this is the biggest point drop, but percentage wise barely shows up on the radar. second, the stock market is usually volatile, so it's been steady lately and we've

forgotten that. and third in the last few days markets have performed incredibly well, over the last year really. >> been amazing. we talked about the correction. >> golf analogy is you're 6 under par and you birdie a hole or, you know, you win a million dollars in the lotto and you've got to pay $100,000 in taxes. so for now that's where we are. >> it's just that we haven't seen this big of a drop in a while so everyone -- >> pointwise, never. >> exactly. all right. we'll watch it. opening bell a little less than an hour. also happening today the move to recall santa clara county judge aaron persky, it's going before the board of supervisors, the journal has been under fire since he sentenced former stanford swimmer brock turner to six months in jail after sexual assaulting an unconscious woman. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez joins us live in san jose this morning with what's next this this process. good morning, kris. >> reporter: hi there, laura. the board of supervisors will take up this issue here at the

county building in about three hours. this is a matter of putting this issue on the june ballot which would be a special election. now, although the brock turner assault case got -- and sentencing got nationwide attention, only santa clara county voters would get to vote on whether or not judge aaron persky should be recalled from the bench. persky was elected to a six-year term in june of 2016 so he is not even two years into that six-year term. to get to this point backers of the recall effort had to get 58,000 signatures. the registrar of voters just certified enough of them two weeks ago. now, here is a little perspective on the judicial recall history in california. it has only become an option since the 1900s. aaron persky would be only the third judge recalled in all of that history. opponents say judicial discretion is critical, that is, that the judge really should have a say in the matter in sentencing. proponents of the recall say that persky has shown bias

against woman in his decisions not on in the brock turner case but several other cases as well. the santa clara county board of supervisors will take up this issue at 9:00 this morning. as you know this is a public forum so if you have something to say or you want to be part of the process, you can come in at 9:00 this morning and see what happens, if not we will keep you posted online. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." 5:35 right now. new this morning we are learning details on a wild robbery and police chase in san mateo. this happened monday night and police say four people ages 19 to 22 stole more than ten grand in merchandise from a store at a bridge point shopping center. the officer says he tried to pull that car over because he noticed someone driving wildly and speeding, but he says they drove away, crashing at 3rd and norfolk. police say that the group got out of that car, started to run. police arrested one person near the crash site, found another in

a bush and got the last two at a parking lot near st. timothy school. it is 5:35. we are still waiting for word from san francisco police as to exactly happened to a woman reported kidnapped but later found. a witness tells police the woman was dragged out of the hayes street laundry by a man last night. the woman's purse and belongings were left behind. the witness says the suspect had a knife and blood was found on the floor and sidewalk. a nearby deli worker tells us the victim came into the deli and they shared surveillance video with officers. >> she was purchasing some soda and laundry detergent. she had enough money for the soda, not enough for the detergent so she wanted to use the phone. she seemed frustrated on the phone, she was asking someone for more money. >> the witness from the laundromat told police the man forced the woman into a car and drove off. officers found the car at 19th and judah later in the night. they say the woman and the suspect were inside, but he was arrested. a baby was also found in the

car, we're working to figure out how that's related to the case. the man charged with driving drunk and high then killing a chp officer andrew a.m. larry is expected back in court in four hours. this is a postponed arraignment for mohammed ali, a 22-year-old from hayward. the chp says he was driving at high rates of speeds on christmas eve when he crashed into officer a.m. larry's suv, which was parked on the shoulder of interstate 880 in hayward. the search continues for a man who attacked a transgender student on a south bay campus. police are investigating it as a hate crime because of what the suspect yelled beforehand. deejea smith says he was walking to his car in the flint parking garage at de anza college in cupertino when the man walked up to him, yelled an anti-gay slur and punched him in the face. deejea said it's not the physical pain he's worried about. >> physically my wounds have pretty much healed to the extent

i had hoped they would for the time frame, but emotionally and mentally it's been a struggle. >> smith says the attacker is about 5'11", 200 pounds. de anza police also increased foot and car patrols on campus in response to the attack. this morning we are learning more about possible school closures in san bruno. san mateo daily journal reports park school officials are dealing with a budget shortfall. the paper reports the district is looking to move forward with just four campuses instead of the current six. el crystal and rolling wood elementary schools may shut down. the district would then sell the vacant properties. the report comes days after the oak grove school district voted to close three elementary schools. the district is deciding where impacted students should go. also new this morning a new name for one of san francisco's haste rick medical centers. ucsf announced its medical center on parnassus will be

renamed the helen diller medical center. it follows recent donations exceeding a billion dollars made from the helen diller foundation. some of the moneys going towards a new state of the art hospital. that announcement follows the death on friday of foundation create err and bay area real estate giant sanford diller. kraets up for oakland and san jose. oakland, this is how quickly traffic is stacking up back to the 66 avenue overcrossing, this is our camera across from the coliseum. solid past high street, all the way up to just about 29th. this crash reportedly blocking at least one lane, it sounds like maybe your left two lanes are blocked, that's what i'm going to mark. here is the coliseum where the camera was up to 23rd. slowing on the southbound side because debris went over the freeway as well. northbound 101 the crash at oakland road, crews are blocking the slow lanes and that's causing all the unexpected slowing in san jose as well north of that 680/280

interchange. careful. now we want to coast into the weekend because we are looking at weekend weather. >> but not much changing, though. >> no, not much changing, our weather still going to be really nice, slightly cooler for the weekend and we are going to come down from these record high temperatures as we get a look at saturday's forecast, 71 degrees for those inland valleys, the bay at 67 degrees and the coast at 65. also 65 as we go into the end of the weekend on sunday, we're still going to have those mid to upper 60s for the coast and the bay and inland about 70 degrees. so what are you doing this weekend? lake shasta looks really nice with mid to upper 50s there and slightly cooler weather as we even look further to the north and then also in napa valley we go from 74 degrees on friday for the high to some upper 60s by the end of the weekend. caramel valley and caramel by the sea will also be absolutely

one event takes place at noon in oakland, that's where mayor libby staff plans to call on democratic d.c. lawmakers to avoid using dreamers as pawns in exchange for other legislation. a second dreamer rally is being organized by labor activists. that event takes place at 11:00 a.m. in san francisco. as we take a live look in washington, d.c. this morning, lawmakers also dealing with a looming shutdown, the government runs out of money on thursday. congress has to pass another short-term bill to fund the government. the house set to vote today. it's only been three weeks since the last short-term funding bill we told you about. you may remember we had that three-day government shutdown. the president needs democrats to help him get the government funded. >> scott mcgrew is antagonizing them. >> he is. in fact, he accused them all of treason of all things. we are just two days to the next government shutdown. here is the president in ohio says democrats who didn't clap for him during the state of the union are traders to america.

>> unamerican. unamerican. somebody is a treasonist. i mean, yeah, i guess, why not? can we call that treason? why not? i mean, they certainly didn't seem to love our country very much, but you look at that and it's -- it's really very, very sad. >> remember the president needs senate to get the government funded. he was in ohio to talk up his tax breaks when he said this but he stepped on his own message making that treason comment. he often complains the media don't talk about what he wants to talk about, but he often says something so unexpected he changes his own headlines. "the new york times" reports this morning the president's lawyers are now asking him not to talk to robert mueller, the special prosecutor. mueller has asked for an interview and trump originally said he will not only do it, he'll do it under oath, but now concern from the white house that that might not be a good

idea. this is video from an affidavit that trump gave during a lawsuit a couple years back, a lawsuit he filed. in this affidavit mr. trump said a number of things that were demonstrably untrue, stuff that didn't even matter. stuff he didn't need to lie about and yet he did. i think this is what white house lawyers are worried about. >> two other things to watch today, will steve bannon show up for his testimony with the house intelligence committee? he is under subpoena. >> and then what we will call the other memo, the house intelligence committee will allow democrats led by ranking member adam schiff to release their own version of the famous nunez memo, the memo about the fisa courts, but the white house has to approve that release and we will see if they do. in the meantime we are covering all this stuff on twitter. there's so much going on. you can follow me, i'm @scottmcgrew. the winter olympics just days away, opening ceremony is this friday and today several athletes from team u.s.a. will

catch a plane to pyeongchang, south korea. >> it's all happening at sfo 8:00 this morning, our cameras will be there as well. here are some of the bay area athletes we are tracking, figure skater karen chen of fremont and vincent zero of palo alto. bobsledder nick cunningham was born in los gatos. plenty of athletes are hitting the slopes in south korea. coverage starts thursday night. we are proud to be your exclusive olympic station. fwar vin thomas is already there. garven will be providing us live reports during "today in the bay" and he will have updates via social media. follow him on twitter @garvin thomas. he tweeted out a picture when he and his photographer robbie did the luge -- no, luggage cart. >> i was like where are you going with this. >> cool video.

jose our record was 75 yesterday, but we went well above that, overachieving in the weather department again as it will be another really warm one with mid to upper 70s. getting dressed we will still need light long sleeves for the morning hours but later on today it will be short sleeves and shorts and also sunglasses. definitely a necessity. as we get a look at our seven-day forecast it's going to be in the low 70s in san francisco today and still some upper 60s for the rest of the week. gusty winds throughout the weekend, low 60s our temperatures coming down a few degrees, but our fire danger increases and you will want to make sure you keep checking in for more information about that. mike, you're tracking two trouble spots for the commute. i am, these are two important spots because they are the focus of major regions. the south bay, san jose, as well as oakland. 880. we will start with san jose because that's the most ñarea.

northbound 101, jammed up starting about -- the approach oakland road crash blocking the slow laneq >r a half hour now. it's not yet rippling over towards 680, 280 or causing a big shift, but we do see more folks taking 87, some folks sometimes when we see our hear about the slowing north of capital expressway they will use that to get over there forcing more folks into downtown. again, that traffic rippling around north 101 at oakland where we have one lane blocked. in oakland from the coliseum up to 29th and the southbound side as well there is a crash affecting both sides of the freeway, two of the northbound lanes are blocked, a live shot, you see it's filled in all the way from 66 all the way up to 29th. waze will map out the alternate for you. shows this purple route is better, 580, 25 minutes for that drive through oakland to the toll plaza. 880 is about 35 minutes longer. so make your choice.

safety questions about seven dams in particular, earthen dams, similar in age, construction similar to oroville dam. one of those dams listed in del valle dam located near pleasanton. if it were to fail it could flood an area of roughly 100 square miles. >> so we have looked at what issues might arise if the dam does have an uncontrolled release. >> del valle inspection records show multiple issues that have gone unaddressed, broken sump pumps and plans to install new monitoring tools dating back three years but still unaddressed. the reports also show the earthen dam has settled in places as much as 13 inches, not a concern say inspectors. each time inspectors declare del valle satisfactory just as they did at oroville dam. water managers say they're on it. >> are there other dams in this state that have the same problems or issues?

>> none of them have showed any areas of concern where there's any public safety issue, but, yes, there will be maintenance work done on all those. >> to learn more about these dams and the issues surrounding them, see our full report later tonight at 6:00 or just go to our website, nbcbayarea.com/weinvestigate. i'm stephen stock, nbc bay area news. and if you have a story for our investigative unit, give us a call. the number 888-996-tips or you can visit our website nbcbayarea.com/weinvestigate. new this morning, victory at the state capital for victims of sexual harassment. it comes after dozens of women in the capital community joined the we said enough movement publicly calling out what they call a culture of sexual harassment in california politics. the assembly passed a bill this week protecting whistleblowers who are part of the legislative staff. hours later the governor signed the bill. >> this bill says that an
