good morning, i'm leslie picker. wall street looks to rebound from yesterday's sell-off and the dow snapping the eight-day winning streak despite the yield's weight on stocks. recent data suggests the economy is picking up after a slow start sparking concerns the fed may try to tap the brakes by aggressively raising interest rates. look for reports on housing and manufacturing. the dow falling 193 points and nasdaq dropping 59 points to 7 7,351. whole foods is launching the new customer loyalty program today offering special discounts to amazon prime members and includes 10% off hundreds of sale items and rotating weekly special, they'll roll out to all other stores this summer. amazon previously announced

prime numbers could gets free two-hour delivery from whole foods stores and the new strategy will test whether amazon's $14 billion acquisition of whole foods can disrupt the grocery industry and intensify a price war with the likes of walmart and kroger. the retailer is also slashing the delivery fee from 4.99 to $2.99 but shipping is free if you have a target credit or debit card. it let's shoppers choose from more than 35,000 household items and pack 45 pounds of products in your cart similar to amazon prime's pantry program. back over to you, marcus and laura. >> thanks, leslie. >> the me too movement is empowering a lot of people. we've been reporting a lot of about sexual harassment in the workplace. >> employees are addressing the problem, that's the question a lot are people are saying, most americans don't think so. a new survey finds only a third of survey takers say changes are

being made. some -- more than 60% say that i have seen no additional training or stricter policies being implemented but nearly 50% of workers say they are now more likely to report sexual harassment. >> coming up next, your full forecast, kari tells us changes are coming. >> it's going to be cooler today in the a few parts of the bay area may even see sprinkles throughout the morning. as we look outside in san francisco san jose, upper 50s and only reaching 65 degrees. we'll talk about what's ahead for the rest of the week. a little bit of a warm-up coming up next. and this is our live look, we're at the scene, work still to be done. these are two of the vehicles involved in a deadly crash that happened overnight leaving the nimitz freeway still closed in the northbound direction. we'll show you the alternate and backup which is recently just really packed in. today in the bs

wednesday morning. 4:44, welcome back. you're watching "today in the bay" on this wednesday morning. hump day for a lot of us. live pictures from our golden gate camera and you'll need to grab a sweater. kari will have more in just a second. >> look in kari's closet.

>> and we are walking out the door seeing a lot more clouds this morning. so it's kind of a hint that we are in for changes as we go through the day. parts of the bay area may also have a couple of sprinkles but as we go first to walnut creek, we're going to start out in the mid-50s and mix of sun and clouds pretty much all throughout the day and high there only up to 65 degrees. it's going to be cooler than normal. with parts of the south bay reaching up to 69 degrees and 67 in concord. and in santa rosa, expect a high of 63 degrees. san francisco at 60 degrees, we talked about you'll need a sweater as you're getting dressed this morning. as we look inside the closet, a good jacket will also be needed because we do have breezy winds and long sleeves will keep you comfortable throughout the day. we have an early afternoon game at at&t park. first pitch at 12:45 before they hit the road, only making it up to 65 today but with the

sunshine, that will make it feel a little bit better also watching a weak disturbance moving across the region that could bring in sprinkles but so far haven't seen anything as of yet. we've also had the afternoon showers and thunderstorms firing up over the sierra and then further towards the north we could see that once again for today. as we go through the hour by hour outlook, we could see spotty showers in parts of the north bay. mostly cloudy skies elsewhere. and then if you go just outside of the bay area there could be showers there by early afternoon. with the rain close by we'll have to watch out for that potential but looks like for most of us it will stay dry today with partly cloudy skies. and our temperatures will reach into the upper 60s inland today and more of the same tomorrow but then we'll start a warming trend that will bring us up to 76 degrees on saturday with sunshine and 72 degrees on sunday. san francisco staying cool over the next few days and those gusty winds will make it feel

even cooler. as we head over to mike, still tracking that highway closure at fremont. >> we are, which has the big slow stretch there in fremont which suddenly built. this section of the nimitz, an overnight deadly crash happened after 9:00 last night leaving the freeway still closed. chp hopes to have things opened by 5:00. it doesn't show up so much on the sensors. there's the closure north of stevenson and that freeway north of there is fine. our crew over the stevenson overcrossing, i saw them remove vehicles minutes ago. all of that debris and lights there. chp hopes to have part of the freeway reopened in the next 15 minutes, i don't think they are going to do that unless they open just one lane past that scene, which may be possible but the problem is as we have these still closed. let's look at the live camera in

fremont. this is built up towards the scale, passing that and advertisement for the parkway and also the way here to the flashing lights. the northbound side, really packed in over the last ten minutes, this is a huge problem. the cushing exit there, mallory or north of stevenson and can you get back on okay for the nimitz. we'll continue to track that progress and bob will continue with his live reports and looking on the other side of the peninsula, palo alto is a light easy clear drive as is the rest of the bay. >> we'll check back with you. 4:48, most likely you've seen the addiction stepped over needles and could one solution to cleaning up san francisco now rest in canada? investigative reporter traveled to vancouver to find out. >> reporter: the plan would create a place for drugs where

addicts could shoot up under trained staff. the idea is controversial and illegal in the u.s. but that isn't stopping san francisco from wanting to become the first city in the nation to open these centers. we travel to vancouver to get a rare look at these sites, addicts are given clean needles and place to use them. that's helped reduce the rate of infection from diseases like hiv and hepatitis c. the centers also have a place to throw away used needles so they don't wind up on streets. san francisco now plans to open two of these supervised injection sites by august. state legislation has been proposed to legalize the centers bults the drug enforcements administration tells us the sites still break federal law. meaning anyone using them or working inside could face prosecution. for now that doesn't seem to be a sticking point for san francisco. you can watch our full investigation by logging on to our website, nbcbayarea.com. >
