a raiders fan and season ticket holder since '68. >> reporter: oakland raider fans may feel shafted but las vegas fans showing up at the preview center where they can see renderings of the stadium, trophies and highlights as well. we want to know what you think. do you think raiders should have given oakland courtesy of one last hurrah doing announcement here some place in oakland or in the bay area or do you think it doesn't matter at all. join the conversation on facebook and twitter. i'd love to hear what you say. in alameda, kris sanchez. >> fans will have something to say. thanks, kris. 5:09. let's check the allergy report. still a beautiful day. getting out there and enjoying sunshine but still a high amount of grass pollen and a medium amount of tree pollen. it still says oak and mulberry are main top allergens.

it's got to be something else because my allergies are going crazy today. here is a live look outside in palo alto. we do start out with some clouds this morning. as you get out there and do for an early morning walk. we'll start to see sun coming out around 11:00. still our temperatures are cool for this time of year reaching into the low 60s and also looking at this storm system that's offshore and watching as it approaches the bay area and how it will affect our weekend weather. more on that in a few minutes. mike still tracking bart delays. >> no update on equipment problems they have been having from overpass maintenance going on the fremont line. that is the one currently experiencing 20-minute delays. anything more than 20 minutes, i'll call it major delays. swing it around here, tesla in the foregrounds, looking at this. springs station. tracking delays, freeways moving smoothly through the area. that is an option.

what their kids see. as we reported in the past, there are a surprising number of disturbing videos on youtube kids. parents will prove what videos their kids can watch. this is through the youtube kids apps. the app only is separate. choose the channel, "sesame street" or a handful of videos and the child can't watch anything but those videos. importantly youtube is not going to suggest videos, because that's where the really weird stuff popped up. you like cookie no one sister, you might like real monsters. >> and you'd be watching something with cookie monster and someone would edit something that was highly inappropriate. >> you've still got to be on top of it. >> completely. >> this is only the youtube app -- kids app but a good step forward. >> that's right. i guess i'm a little protective. mother hen was coming out there. 5:16 right now. some pretty frightening surveillance video, a reminder to parents how dangerous pools

can be. take a look at this. police in south carolina say last month two boys at a resort opened the grate at the bottom of the lazy river pool. one boy became trapped by the pool's suction pipe. after nearly eight minutes the pump was turned off. first responders finally got him out but not before serious quick thinking by one rescuer who hopped in. >> i just figured he needed some kind of oxygen at the time, so i just went under water and i started to breathe into his mouth for him until i got extra help. >> can you imagine that, he jumped in to help breathing for him. that underwater resuscitation may have saved his life. authorities only released the video now that the boy was out of the hospital. amazing. people love a good conspiracy theory and assassination of jfk continues to grab imagination. >> a lot of people still have lingering questions about this tragedy.

today those questions might be solved. the national archives will release the final batch of secret records. president trump promised to release this. historians doubt anything will be revealed. this morning, who did you think he was going to pick? prince harry asked his brother, william, to be the best man at his wedding. the future king agreed. two royal fans recall harry was william's best pan back in 2011, which begged to answer the question in the newsroom this morning, do you have to have your procedure as your best m-- your brother as your best man? >> i don't think you have to. >> or sister. >> what have you have 19 brothers. >> you've got to pick your favorite. >> you've got to rank them. >> then just pick a cousin. >> a show on cable. >> a great morning, too, as we

get ready to head out on this thursday. we're going to see some sunshine eventually. we do start out with clouds, though. as can you see from this shot looking at san francisco and soma, temperatures have been in the mid-50s all around bay area. south bay seven-day forecast coming up at the bottom of the screen as we check out our jogging forecast in hayward. it's still going to be cloudy for much of the morning. then by late morning a mix of sun and clouds. then we're all clear at noon. it will take a while before it warms up. i think that's perfect jogging weather as we look at highs reaching into upper 60s in cupertino but 73 in morgan hill, east bay 273 in danville and fremont 68 degrees there. 63 in san mateo while palo alto will be up to 68 degrees. mostly some 50s around san francisco. north bay up to 71 in napa and santa rosa at 66 degrees. as we look at what's happening out there, i showed you this imagery earlier today.

it was showing that swirl of clouds out there in the pacific. this is a very weak area of low pressure. even the clouds have started to dry up in spots. but we are going to watch out for the possibility that it could bring us some clouds starting tomorrow and some spotty light rain for the north bay and around ukiah farther northward there could be scattered showers and again on saturday morning. then during the afternoon it does clear up as you make your weekend plans. and the weekend forecast is coming up at 5:38. let me know what you're doing this weekend. i'm @karihall weather on twitter and facebook. the inland area shows we cool off low 70s for the day, for the weekend mid-60s. it does warm up for the middle of next week. san francisco upper 50s but you can see clouds for tomorrow and sunday. mike, you're checking out what it looks like at warm springs station? >> that's right. we have our crew out there. not a lot of traffic. can you see where you can lock up your bike.

that staircase or escalator heading to the platform for the bart train which is not coming in right now. i'm going to step into the shot, i'm not really there obviously. what's going on, light commute for bart line and lighter for fremont lines. take a look at my chart, i've outlined 20 minute delay at fremont ends at warm springs and takes you to oakland as far as one of the lines. the coliseum station from our shot as well, that has other lines coming through, pleasanton line. those are servicing the area. i saw a train come through and depart over the last few minutes. at least some of the trains are running. just that fremont line currently having a problem because of equipment issues for fremont line presumably somewhere between fremont and milpitas. a look at the roads you can drive, ride, car share, because there are no delays really to speak of for tfor freeways offe to bay bridge. toll plaza, cash lanes as well

as just passed treasure island, track this with no problem but metering lights should turn on any second. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 5:22, next on "today in the bay," creating memories that will last a lifetime. unique effort to help fire victims who lost everything. >> making bart more affordable for low income riders. the move leaders could make today to make this a reality. to move california forward, we need to help more californians get ahead. that's why antonio villaraigosa brought both parties together to balance the state budget with record investments in public schools... and new career training programs. as mayor of la, he brought police and residents together to get illegal guns off the streets and keep kids out of gangs, and on the right path.

that's antonio villaraigosa. a governor for all of california.

solution in the works. 5:24. car break-ins are become a bay areawide problem. now, there could be a solution in the works. many newer cars unlocked by bringing a key fob to the car, you might have one of these. it's useful to have your hands full. now thieves are taking advantage of that technology. here is how they are doing it. they actually do the fake signal, trick the car into thinking the key fob was nearby. now a polish man targeted by this created a keyless protector. it's a small device with the key signals at the driver's command. making new memories. take a look at the family's portrait maybe hanging on the wall or sitting on the table with a great album. many north bay wildfire victims lost those precious pictures. next month a photographer will offer a freeport rat session for

the vict -- free portrait session for victims. mtc wants to create a path that will allow access to all bay area transit agencies based on financial means. >> making women equal, that's the goal of the effort across bay area called 50/50 day. panel discussions and documentary screens. some in san jose, several in san francisco. we're putting up a list portfolio events at nbcbayarea.com if you're interested. >> not only super mom at home, she's working all day here and mc annual ywca tribute to women awards. >> it's fun, i never slave. in fairmont, san jose, reception at 5:30 tonight. the ceremony starts at 7:00.

>> looking like a great one. as you start to make plans by thursday, of course your party planner but hopefully you've made plans already. let me show you things around the bay area, what the weather will look like if you plan on going. it won't be the best beach weekend, only up to 59 degrees. you'll be fighting with those clouds trying to get peek of sunshine. for the inland areas, watching out for a chance of rain and north bay with highs reaching into the mid-60s and on sunday more sunshine. but just a little bit warmer. it won't be as warm as last weekend, up to 66 degrees. if you're going to petaluma, butter and egg days parade you'll see chris chmura on the float. there will be a slight chance of rain especially in the morning. but at noon we'll start to see rain chances tapering off and it will be in the low 60s as the sun starts to come out. on sunday you'll be wrapping up your weekend at the pacific coast dream machines happening at half moon bay at the airport. that goes on from 10:00 to 4:00.

it's going to be in the mid-50s but a nice event to go out there with the kids. a lot of kids events going on. then if you're going to squaw valley, we will have a mix of sun and clouds. you better get there soon because the snow continues to melt. it's going to be in the low- to mid-40s for much of the weekend. if you're going out of town to l.a., mid-60s, a little bit cooler there but we do still have sunshine in the forecast. as we make plans to maybe go hiking in muir woods, it pl be cool. definitely a hoodie or sweatshirt, something nice and comfortable and highs in the upper 50s to low 60s. we'll have a look at today's temperature trend for san jose coming up in 30 minutes. >> sound good. thanks, kari. coming up on "today in the bay," dang% on the streets. >> there are 685,000 hit-and-run crashes in a year. >> authorizing we investigate a startling uptick in hit-and-run crashes across the u.s. what new

research is revealing about these crimes happening in california. >> new this morning dr. ronny jackson says he's done, he's withdrawn his name. we'll bring you the latest from washington coming up. to move california forward,

we need to help more californians get ahead. that's why antonio villaraigosa brought both parties together to balance the state budget with record investments in public schools... and new career training programs. as mayor of la, he brought police and residents together to get illegal guns off the streets and keep kids out of gangs, and on the right path.

that's antonio villaraigosa. a governor for all of california. mike traffic tease it is 5:43, another cloudy and cool morning, a sunny afternoon. a look outside in san jose. the temperature trend that starts out in the 50s. we'll get some clearing in san jose by about 10:00.

sunshine through the afternoon reaching near 70 degrees today. that's perfect. this weekend it does get cooler and we won't get as much sunshine. i'll talk about that. also what to wear coming up in less than five minutes. here is south bay drive times. they are looking great right now. hey, breaking news, i just got the alert from bart, they are now in recover mode. ten-minute delays for fremont line. that's much better news between dublin and warm springs. north bay looks good as well. highway 101, guys. >> this is not great news, but california is leading the country with the most hit-and-run deaths. all new numbers published just overnight. aaa put out the study. the data itself is from 2016. there were 337 deadly hit-and-run crashes in californ california. nationwide more than 2,000. aaa says a trend moving in the wrong direction. one expert says something we do from time to time may be a part

of the problem. >> pedestrians and motorists alike driving while distracted and walking while face buried in their phone makes them less alert to their surroundings. >> you have to pay attention despite california's big hit-and-run number some cities are successfully cutting traffic deaths. san francisco only saw 20 deaths in 2017. we've seen many bay area communities don't zero vision plan to eliminate all traffic deaths in the coming years. >> 5:45, i want to tell you about a lawsuit we've been telling you about. closing arguments today in the lawsuit challenging the vote system. asian americans say the citywide election discriminates. they claim voting by district instead of at large would result in a more diverse city council. we did some digging overnight. the 2010 census shows 45% of santa clara's population is white, the largest group. asian americans are second

largest with 38%. currently all city councilmembers are white. since 1951 when santa clara officially became a city, not a single asian-american has been elected to the counsel. in june they will consider whether to break up the city into two districts. several bay area cities including san jose are already doing that. 5:46 for you right now. president trump picks to run the v.a. >> scott mcgrew, this came as accusations against dr. ronny jackson were piling up. >> piling up. with all the accusations it's a pretty good question why dr. jackson had a job as white house physician in the first place. there have been accusations of drinking on the job, he wrote himself prescriptions. latest allegation he wrecked a government car while drunk. before 5:00 a.m. our time the white house announced jackson had withdrawn his name for nomination of the next secretary of the veterans administration. dr. jackson denies all these

accusations. we're getting mixed message from the white house all week. president trump suggested jackson withdraw earlier this week and then later encouraged him to stay. a few moments ago president trump phoned into his favorite news program "fox & friends" to comment on the jackson issue. here he is by phone. >> i said, you know, doc, you run a great operation. how do you think you'd do at the v.a.? we can talk about experience, but the v.a. when you think about 13 million people, you could take the head of the biggest hospital corporation of the world and it's peanuts compared to the v.a. so nobody has experience. it's a big monster. >> dr. jackson's questions of experience were significant. but again, it was the accusations of drinking that probably led to him with drawing his name. the president also spoke about james comey on that phone call you just heard saying he did the country a big favor by firing him. he also acknowledged he spent the night in moscow during the
